Square cake with ganache & sharp edges - seasonal theme
Upcoming Start Dates
We will bake a square madeira cake ready for you. The day will begin by making ganache. Moving on you will split, fill, crumb coat and ganache your cake. You will then ice your cake in sugarpaste and learn all about creating sharp edges and super crisp corners. Complete the decoration with a seasonal wreath, grass, flowers and butterflies in a selection of designs. This course has been designed to answer all those square cake conundrums.

I wasn't exactly sure what to expect but have no complaints. Lynda explained everything so clearly and her helper Annabelle was very helpful too. The full day courses are intense but you learn so much. 5/5.
