Hi Faryal, I am just a hobby baker learning as I go. I came across your channel by chance, just having a look for tips as I am a very basic learner .I have mastered my baking but I need help with the crumb coat / gnash etc and fondant icing . Wow i have not ever seen this way of icing a cake and I was so impressed that I just had to let you know that I think it is a brilliant way of icing.. I was gob smacked at how easy you make it. I am going to try your way very soon . I was putting it off trying in case I failed, but that is how we learn > from our mistakes. I do like the way you explain how your doing each step and I am looking forward to trying your way. Also more of your videos .Thank you very much. I am from Stoke - on Trent, Staffordshire .UK
Comment like yours really makes my time worth it. I really appreciate your honest feedback about my videos. Yes as I myself learned on my own mistakes I want others not to make the same mistakes and learn the skills faster than me. I have been doing it professionally since 2012 so you can tell I didn’t learn all of this in a year. I do 1:1 classes based in Essex if you ever come to London and book a 1:1 to polish your skills more. Until then keep practicing as practice makes you perfect ❤️ You can also follow me on my instagram. My instagram is Faryal Khan cake design as my old one scrumptious cakes by fairy got hacked recently. Peace and love Faryal xx
Hello! Firsts, I want to say that I could listen to your voice and accent all day long, I love it. Second, I have a question. How do you store your fondant cake? Like once decorated, say the night before, do you keep it in the fridge or on the counter? Cover it, uncover it? I've been seeing so many different reviews. I am new to fondant so trying to learn as much as possible so I can stop turning away orders for fondant type cakes. Thanks so much for all of your great tips, tricks and education!
@@kariepowell8364 thank you so much you are so sweet. Ok storing of fondant cake depends on the temperature. For example I live in London, it’s usually cold so I leave the cake in the cake box over the counter, Away from direct sunlight. I also use ganache for outer layer of the cake so once the ganache is set it stays pretty solid. Problem with keeping the cake in the fridge is that once you will take it out, it will start start sweating and you will have condensation. I do not recommend refrigeration of the fondant cake. I say just leave in your coolest room and use ganache underneath and you will be fine .
love your video so helpful, I always struggle with elephant skin no matter what brand of sugarpaste I use - I have tried most of them. I do not know where I am going wrong . Have you any tips on to avoid elephant skin, also how do you know how long to knead the fondant. thank you !
Do not take too long to knead. Just a min or two so the fondant is soften a bit. Do not use any icing sugar or corn flour when you knead and roll the fondant instead use vegetable shortening (Trex in UK and Chrisco in US) put some in your hands when kneading and spread some over the mat or your counter where you are going to roll the fondant. Try to work as quick as possible. The more exposure it has to the air the more it will become problematic. I hope these tips works for you. Thank you Peace and love Faryal
Hello, what are the clear plastic things you use when you pick the cake up to transfer to the board? Love your videos by the way your helping me make my children’s birthday cakes 🤞🏻 x
I am in UK and mostly it’s a cold weather here. So no I don’t have Air con unit. But if you are from very hot country then yes you need to work in Air conditioned room.
I had another question please, I find that when I crumb coat the side of the cakes, the cake on the sides starts to sort of come off or crumble.. is this normal? Or am I doing something wrong? Or should the layers be in the fridge first so they are a bit hard? PLEASE DO REPLY FOR THIS QUESRION AS I STRIGGLE
That happens if the cake is baked fresh. I prefer ganaching the cake next day. Once the cake is cool down after baking wrap each layer in cling film and let it rest over night in a cake box on the counter or over the table. Ganache it next day. Also make sure that the ganache is not too thick. It should be like peanut butter consistency. Hope this helps
