Annabelle will demonstrate how to
Line a number tin
Tutorial - how to fill the tin with batter neatly and ensuring an even bake
How to split and fill your number cake with jam and buttercream
How to crumb coat your number cake.
How to ice your number cake with sugarpaste (fondant) to achieve a smooth finish (no elephant skin, no tears, no pleats, no cracks!)
How to get sharp edges
How to move your iced cake onto the presentation board
Discussion - buttercream style number cakes
As always, Annabelle will share her top tips and knowledge gained from over 25 years in the cake industry.
When you buy your demonstration, you will be sent the link to Annabelle’s recording along with a list and picture of equipment used. You can then download the recording and save it to watch and re-watch as many times as you like.
Each technique is fully explained and broken down into simple steps.
So happy with how my first number cake came out, my little nephew loved it. Thank you so much for your help Annabelle Jane - the number zoom demo was so incredibly helpful, it wouldn’t have come out anywhere near as good without it! It was great to be able to refer back to it whilst prepping the tin and baking the cake! I'd really recommend getting the recording if you are doing any number cakes!
