Thanks for the tops -- I need them! I'm covering my son's rectangular birthday cake later today. Eight thin layers of almond sponge with raspberry jam and crème diplomat fillings alternating between layers, with the layers soaked with a Chambord syrup. I really don't want to mess this up!

How did it go?
@adamchurvis13 жыл бұрын
@@EdikeOCGift Somewhere between "Meh" and "Well, THAT happened..." My main takeaway from this was that, in future, I need to assemble entremets in molds, freeze them, and then frost or glaze them. Without the mold I had to resort to two long skewers vertically through the cake at thirds along its length. Not ideal at all. Delicious, though.

How thick do you roll your fondant? I seem to always have crack and tears in mine. Just can't get it the correct thickness, I guess. Not sure what the problem is. I have one of those sheets too, they are awesome!!
@TheIcingArtist9 жыл бұрын
+Donitta Fields Hi Donitta, I hate when that happens! I would try not to use as much icing sugar when rolling it out. Roll out your fondant till it is about 1/8" thick. Work VERY quickly. As the fondant it rolled out it begins to dry very quickly, that will cause a lot of the cracks. I hope this was helpful, please let me know if you have any more questions :)
