I made a wedding cake for a friend recently. I found it quite terrifying and couldn’t get all the elements to work…until I found your videos. Changing to your recipes and your techniques made all the difference! I cannot thank you enough! The cake came out beautifully and in the end it wasn’t quite as scary as I thought, mainly due to your guidance. A sincere thank you!
I use ganache to crumb coat the cake before covering in fondant. But whenever i finish covering the cake in fondant, it always sweat and becomes wet. The cake is slightly chill (not frozen). What am i doing wrong?
Would you consider doing a tutorial on how to coat a square cake with fondant? I find sometimes that people I bake for don’t wish to have a round or shaped cake, and I always struggle a bit with square cakes that require a nice sharp edge to the fondant. Is there a way to do it in one smooth go or is it always piecework slabs…one side, the next side, and so on joining the sides?
Yes, I agree with Francine. I have not seen the upside-down method for fondant application previously, and you made it look very achievable. I will definitely give that a go for taller cakes. Thank you once again for sharing your knowledge and skills.
Greetings Chef Yener! I have used the upside down method for masking, but never for applying fondant even though I apply in 2 pieces. Now I finally know how to avoid that ugly seam at the top where the join is. Thank you so much!!
very informative as always thank you
