Can you cover rice crispy treats on a cake with buttercream instead of fodant or modelling chocolate?

In reply to Christie Maliyackel. Hi Christie, Yay!! You can totally frost the cake fully, then add the rice krispies. I usually just do the crumb coat because I usually find it easier to smooth the second coat of frosting over both the krispies and the cake. But it's all about preference, and that should work just fine. Happy baking!

Hi Jamie,

You are totally right!! This is the one thing I usually measure by volume rather than weight when I’m baking, I apologize for the error! I’ve updated the recipe card to reflect the correct weight. Thank you!

This worked great! I’m using the same technique this weekend… is it okay to fully frost the cake before adding on the rice krispy treats (rather than just the crumb coat) or will that mess anything up?

In reply to Kell. @Chelsweets, I’ll go by the cups to check but did want to call out that the box of Rice Krispies in the US is 1.5 cups = 40g which would be 160g (not 90) for 6 cups. You listed 15g per cup but it’s closer to 26.66g per cup.

Hi Rachel,

I haven’t eaten this recipe after that long of a duration, but it will definitely stay firm for 5-7 days if covered in ganache! I would think the ganache would prevent them from going stale too, but I’m not sure. I’m sorry I can’t be of more help! Please let me know how it turns out if you do make it that far in advance <3

Hello, thanks so much for the recipe. Do you think this would stay fresh enough to eat after 5-7 days if it’s covered with ganache? I made a different recipe previously and they went very soft after a day and were not pleasant to eat. They were made and then covered in buttercream for 1 day prior to serving.

In reply to Lisa. Hi Lisa, I am so sorry for any confusion!! It should be 6 cups of rice krispies. I've updated the instructions to match the ingredients section of the recipe card. The ratio in general should be 2 parts marshmallows, 3 parts cereal. Hope that helps, happy baking!

Hi – so the recipe ingredients say 6c cereal, but the instructions say 5c. Could you clarify?

In reply to Kell. Hi Kell! 1 US cup of puffed rice cereal (like rice krispies) is 15g. What type of rice cereal are you using? Are you accidentally including the weight of the cup measure?

The weights are really off with the rice cereal if got?? 1cup is 90g not 6 cups?? Is that going to through off my project?

Hi I’m about to make a Buddha head cake for my daughter 50th. I’m thinking that I could use this idea for the nose and lips before fondant.
