Fondant cake

Addicted to fondant decoration, I tried to decorate a bigger cake. It wasn't as easy as I thought. With bigger cake, everything has to be as neat as possible otherwise it'll look un-professional. The cake itself has to be flat and even to get the sharp corner just like Planet Cake's cakes.

Firstly, prepare and bake any cake of your choice. cut any crust and even up the top of the cake. Then ganache the cake. For ganache, you can use dark or white chocolate ganache or buttercream. Ganache works as edible putty to cover any imperfection of the cake.

Secondly, roll out the fondant to 3 mm thickness and start covering the cake. Cut out any excess fondant then smooth the surface with acrylic smoother.

Finish covering the cake, you can start to decorate the cake with any decoration that you want. I use some pink roses that I made couple of days before.

For the detail description on cake decoration, please refer to Planet Cake book or any other book that you prefer.
