Premade rollable icing is disgusting. Royal icing is actually much easier to ice with if you finish it with a spiky snow effect instead of trying to smooth it like a wedding cake.
Depending on the type of icing fondant can be used immediately, royall icing needs about a week to dry. Sorry im very late giving you this info but you'll be well prepared for next year.😄 merryChristmas
@Ann Britton haha your Fine, I have made 6 Christmas cakes this year, I let marzipan set for 24 to 48 hours and I let the ready to roll fondant set for 48 hours an all worked out 😁
Reason for almond icing - it keeps the moisture in the cake and it stops the white icing being stained by the fruit in the cake.
Awe just love this woman, no nonsense, just get on with the job. I personally don't like icing, but I will do it if asked. Thanks again.

I agree - I've always hated the sickly sweet fondant icing. Royal icing rocks!
Wow I love this Baker & silk scarf 🧣 to funny 😆 . Great baker.
What is the white icing? It's not in the recipe in the link.
How long to leave the Icing set?

Fondant icing (like on here) is horrid. Flabby and rubbery.
Only royal icing is acceptable for christmas cake imo.
This tickles me: " a little bit of booze here, a little bit of booze there 🤣🤣🤣🤣... I would get tipsy before the cake is finished 😉
Great video thank you. But please your audio is very poor for a professional recording. You deserve better.
This is not a Christmas cake. Wrong icing.
Too much talking .
I'm pretty sure it's a talk show.
Actually I like hearing the big mama for her baking tips, but the female host never adds anything
Non stop talking......
