How to Prepare & Cover a Cake with Icing / Fondant

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Hi and welcome back to my kitchen. For me one of the most important things when it comes to making cakes is making sure you have a well covered cake as a base to add your design. Now I usually refer to it as icing, but icing is exactly the same as fondant or sugarpaste, and in this video tutorial I show you how to prepare your cake, and cover it to get smooth sides and that sharp edge along the top.
I really hope you enjoy the tutorial. Thank you so much for watching and don't forget to subscribe for more cake decorating tutorials!

    This is by far my favorite of all the channels for cake decorating. You do such a wonderful job with editing. You speed up the parts that don't need to be seen in "real-time" while very clearing explaining the techniques. The instructions are easy to follow with great explanations for the “why” of what you do. You show all tools and give their names, which is so helpful! Thank you so much for all the obvious effort that you have put into making a beautiful channel for learning about this fun art. It is very appreciated!

    This has got to be one of the best KZread cake making tutorials I’ve watched - so clear and helpful! Mine didn’t turn out anywhere near as good as the one being demonstrated, and despite taking on board what you said about pressing down the top edges quickly so the weight of the icing didn’t make it rip, I still did end up with cracks around the top edge, but thankfully not rips like I usually have… and I was able to work them out and get the (fairly) sharp edges using your techniques… definitely the best cake I’ve made so far, so I’ll be practicing and watching more of your videos. Thank you!

    Really great point about using an upward motion on the sides rather than the typically-touted downward or random smoothing, so that the crisp edge at the top is preserved. Thanks for a great video. I learned something quite valuable today.

I don't suppose you know how to make the gorgeous modern/whimsical/spiral roses seen on many wedding cakes recently. I love them so much (not a fan of the older style open roses with the petal edges very curled over) and I'm struggling to find a tutorial - I'm sure it'd be extremely popular if you did one :) x x
