Preparing a cake and covering it with fondant, and also covering a cake drum.

by Scrummy Mummy's Cakes

This course aims to show you how to produce a perfect blank canvas cake ready for you to decorate. The course will last 3 hours during which time you will level and torte a sponge that has already been baked for you. You will then fill it with jam and buttercream and apply a crumb coating of buttercream.
When the cake has chilled for a short while you will then be shown how to roll out your fondant and lift it on to your cake, smoothing it down to achieve a desirable finish and I will then show you how to add fondant beading around the lower edge.
You will also be shown how to cover a cake drum and emboss it.
If we have all finished before the end of the session I will move on to show you how to make a few simple flowers.
