Recently I learnt to cover cakes using fondant icing. I made a fruit cake to take along to the course and over two nights went through filling holes and levelling the cake, covering in marzipan, covering with fondant and a few different tips and tricks for decorating.
The photo is terrible, but I’m quite proud of how well I did on my first go.
Now the trouble starts. This weekend I’m doing it all on my own, no help from teacher this time. I can’t give away any details of what it will look like just yet as it’s a surprise for the birthday girl, however I’ll be making a white chocolate mud cake and using ganache on the cake instead of marzipan. Wish me luck!
I’ll post photos of my efforts once the party is over so as not to spoil the surprise
