‘The Unicorn Cake’ - ganache & straight edges
Upcoming Start Dates
Start the day by making your own ganache under the guidance of Annabelle. Learn the advantages and pitfalls of making and working with ganache. We will bake you 2 maderia cakes to split, fill and crumb coat with your ganache. Annabelle will share her top tips and demonstrate how to achieve professional results every time including stacking techniques.
Whilst the cakes firm use modelling paste to create a unicorn horn and ears.
Moving on you will then cover your cake with sugarpaste. Annabelle will teach you how to cover a double height cake without tearing, elephant skin and then how to achieve beautiful sharp edges.
Complete your cake in a unicorn design using a variety of techniques including rainbow piping.
