Fondant
Cake

Ingredients
- Edible Lacquer
- 500g Dark chocolate (for skin and gluing purposes)
- Edible silver spray
Recommendations
- Watch the entire tutorial completely and take notes while comparing the tools list to what tools you have available to you.
- If you need to bake, please do it one day before.
- Mix colours into fondant one day before you start the tutorial especially if you are using powdered colour because some types of edible powder colour initially look fine after mixing but with a little bit of moisture, after a few hours you will notice spots on the icing.
- Have a wet and dry hand towels to clean knives, blades and cutters regularly to consistently achieve clean cuts. Also be sure to clean the table with your wet towel, and than the dry towel each time you are about to roll out any fondant. Use a bit of shortening or vegetable fat to prevent the fondant from sticking to the table.
- This is art, and no method or technique is set in stone. This is why we recommend you watch the entire tutorial first before you start gathering all the things in the list above. You may think of ways you might substitute tools or techniques with your own ideas.
Thank you Chef Yener, another wounderful tutorial, looking forward to giving this ago. Thank you so much.
When making the chains, could you use an extruder or would the paste be too thick?
No you can not use extruder, the paste is too thick for that.
Hi,
I’m just curious what’s oil spray that can make it shiny? Can we use the butter spray for baking like canola spray or butter spray?
I used confectioners glaze for that handbag for the lasting shine. If you use canola oil spray it will make it shiny but only for an hour.
Hello, what size of pan did you bake your cake in please? Also I have just bought this class and my card has been charged twice . who do I contact to sort this out please
Please email to info@yenersway.com . The cake is 20×30 cm but you can always bake your sponge any other size and cut and join to the size you wish during sandwiching.
Hi, what is the name of the two sided transparent paper with that you used to trace the quilt pattern on? could you please put a link where to purchase it. thanks
Cellophane sheets from ebay. Thanks
What is “Hard Fat” made of or how can I make it?
Sorry You can not make it. Please google ” hard pastry margarine”
could you please put a link for where to buy this Hard pastry margarine? I googled it but can’t find it. thanks
The hard fat I am using is VOLEX (hard) or PILOT brand. I bought for making sculptures. It comes in very large box which you can not buy from shops. I would recommend the closest brand COPHA comes in 250 gram.
What an awesome tutorial! Thanks a million for making this available for me.
I cannot find how to make the silver links etc? Have a missed part of the tutorial?
Hi Leah, sorry for the late reply. Please see the third lesson in part 1, which is called ‘Making the Chain Straps’. Thanks
Hello Mr. Yener, great tutorial. I just wanna know if i can use only ganache for cover de cakes or has to be ganache, chocolate and ganache?? Thank you very much!
Hi Naomi It is possible to do some 3 d cakes without chocolate skin . The bag is vertical so better use chocolate just to be in safe side.
Thank you very much for this wonderful tutorial!!
Hi Mr Serdar
Thank you very much for this excellent tutorial!!
I just wanted to ask you about the lacquer glaze…We definitely cant get it here where we live. Is there any other suggestion to help make the bag shiny?
Another thing is:
What is Pastillage?? Do we make it ourselves? I couldnt find it at the cake supply store.
Thank you so much once more
Yours
TaraDina
pastillage recipe is available at the recipes section of our web site . instead lacquer mix alcohol ( gin or vodka) with glucose 1 to 1 make it little warm and carefully brush. Try before on somewhere else. It is not as good as lacquer . You have to wait till the surface dry.
Hello Serkan,
Amazing tutorial..I just want to ask..is the layer of chocolate between the two layers of ganache when icing the cake, tempered chocolate?
Or is it just melted chocolate that you apply?
it is also ganache thanks
Great job, thanks for the lesson!!!!!!!
