FINALLY! An actual good demonstration video !! I love that you said, ‘Don’t cry about it, fix it and move on with your life’ 😂😂 I need to remember that because I’m definitely a stresser and cry over everything when I decorate with fondant 😂😂 saving this vid for later!
amazing demonstration liz! i am still baking my cake praying its going to turn out right and once done i will will follow this fondant video since i just bought fondant today. your amazing and a perfetionist. thanks a lot
you make it look so easy. i always have problems with the bottom. i always get pleads. i will try using the small bowl next time. Thank you so much for this tutorial.
Thanks Liz... I'm doing my first ganached cake next week... Perfect timing 👍🏼 also wanted to say thanks for periscope series on getting started with a cake business. Especially the bit about logo design. My husband is a graphic designer and had told me the exact same thing about keeping it simple. Well, I listened to him after watching your periscope and now he is less annoyed with me constantly wanting to tweak my design!! Haha.
Thanks so much for this. I make a lot of cakes at work and my new chief wants to start using fondant on some of the more important cakes so this was a huge help.
Great video, very helpful. Idk what lmf is, assuming it's the brand or type of fondant? Also, was that crisco you had in that little bowl that you used to work into the fondant? I'm like, brand new to fondant, been cooking about 22 years and just getting into baking. It's a fun and wildly expansive field of culinary art and I have nothing but respect for you and others who have the talent for it.
'LMF' was the acronym given to her fondant by the community after it became popular with bakers. L and M are her initials and F is, of course, fondant.
The upside down bowl is genius. I wish I’d watched your video last night when I was struggling with the bottom of the cake instead of waking up this morning and seeing how terrible it looks!! I’ll use this in the future. I always hide the mess at the bottom with some kind of thin band or decorations but this one is for someone else and had to copy a picture. I have no idea what I’m going to do to fix it!
I tried to cover a cold Cake in fondant. The fondant was really sticky and started to tear. Was I supposed to use tylose in the fondant before covering the cake?
I love your videos! I am having problems with the fondant however. It is getting very sticky and sweaty after I apply to the cake... I can't even touch it with out it turning into goo. How can I fix this? What am I doing wrong :.....(
Hello, I tried to make a cake using fondant yesterday, that was my first time, but why is the fondant that I use melting fast, can you give tricks and tips so that the fondant doesn't fall quickly?
Fondant cakes was all I ever knew growing up in the UK. So when I moved to America, I was surprised that birthday cakes typically come covered in cream and not fondant. I had to go to a wedding cake shop just to order fondant cakes for birthdays. Now I can make my own fondant birthday cakes at home.
Great job. I want to make fondant but can't find some of the ingredients needed here in Munich Germany. Looking for glucose I ended up getting Truben zuger .can someone help me out please.
I tried the chilling cake thing then put fondant on and it sweats gets sticky and start to have little holes in it.I never do it again.I just frost the cake and cover in fondant.does your cake sweats?
hi liz, thanks for sharing... I will be using buttercream under my fondant, should I chill my cake before I cover it? our climate is warm at the minute. thanks
