‘The Unicorn (or Rudolf) Cake’ - ganache & straight edges

Make your own ganache, split and fill your cakes, then sugarpaste a double-height cake to achieve sharp edges. Then decorate your cake in either a unicorn or Rudolf theme. Social Distancing & safety measures in place.

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 Madeira 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 either a unicorn horn and ears or glitter antlers, red nose and ears for Rudolf. 

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 either a unicorn design using a variety of techniques including painting on sugar and rainbow piping or as Rudolf with chocolate piping.
