Why does this happen with my cream : Christmas cake

[SisterAgatha]

This is a bloody ridiculous thread, I apologise for it in advance

But why (and Google has been useless) does double cream thicken when poured on to my Christmas cake???

it hasn’t done it this year (disappointed) and I’ve used royal icing instead this time so maybe it’s something to do with the fondant icing. I’ve always noticed but it has particularly bothered me this year enough to ask 😂

You buy extra thick double cream?

I am just shocked that people have cream on Christmas cake.

Haha I don’t, it’s just normal double cream, and it’s usually towards the leftover end days of Christmas when I’m using up whatever is left.

the moment I pour it, it’s thickens but only with my homemade cake so wtf is in there that’s going this 😂
