Covering Tricky Shapes
Upcoming Start Dates
We will bake a maderia cake for you. You can let us know in advance if you have a preference on what number (or other shape such as petal) you would like to cover. The main focus of the day is how to professionally split, fill and crumb coat a tricky shaped cake and then how to ice it to achieve a smooth professional finish. We will then add a finishing design using the geometric cutters.
If you have tried to ice a number (especially a 2, 5, 3 or 7) you will know how tricky it is to get the sugarpaste around the angles and deep curves! Annabelle will share all her top tips and secrets of success.
The day will also include a demonstration of how to line a number tin and how to fill the tin (without mess) along with lots of baking tips.

This was such a brilliant course. I didn't realise how difficult it was to ice a tricky shaped cake and I'm glad I've been shown how to get over certain areas of a cake that can prove difficult. What I expected and much more.
