@That's Cakable. Wow love your cakes. What experience level does someone need to bake abd decorate a basic tall cake? I never baked a cake, but would love to get into this. You are an inspiration.
I’m so sorry I haven’t been on my game and replying to many comments of late. Once I’ve finished the cake, I refrigerate it so it’s very firm then I clean the board with water and a paper towel. Once it’s dry, I cover the base with fondant to make it all neat and tidy. I use Tracey from Little Cherry Cake Company’s toilet seat method for this. You can find her tutorial here. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4UM0cKbljK4.html I hope this helps 🙂
Love that design 😍 but wonder how the portioning of a cake like that would go. Most pieces will have a straw/skewer in it. Do clients find that a problem?
Hi Tash. It’s really the same as any tiered cake. The supports are so small in this one that portioning would barely be effected at all. So long as you stipulate the structuring process to your clients and provide them with a cutting guide and a basic diagram of the internal cake structure, I doubt there would be a problem. I ,for one, have never had an issue with it myself. I hope this helps and thank you so much for watching and the great feedback 🙂
I didn’t actually have that problem using ganache as my base and the edible artist white paint. I think that, if you used a regular gel colour as your splatter, this may happen, especially if the cake is buttercream however, with the particular combination of products I used to create this cake, the colour didn’t bleed through at all. If you didn’t have access to these materials and you’re worried about colour bleed, perhaps you could try meted white chocolate as a splatter instead. That way you would have no problem with colour transfer at all. I hope this helps.Thanks for watching 🙂
Hi Lee. I guess I figured I’ve done so many videos where you see me cover the board that I didn’t think it would matter so much if I skipped that part of the process, however, if that’s what my viewers want to see then I’ll be sure to include it in upcoming tutorials. Thanks so much for the feedback. It’s always appreciated 🙂
