as a 74 year old man I have never made or iced a cake in my life but I wanted to learn in memory of my late wife - this video made it so easy to learn how to do it - my result 1 nice (not perfect) cake that I am sure my late wife would be pleased with - thank you.
shows you are never to old to learn something new
Really clear, fast moving instructions. Perfect, thank you.
Absolute gem, thanks so much Eleni. Merry Christmas to you.
Just iced my Christmas cake for the first time, with the help of this excellent film. Thanks.
Of all the videos i have seen this young lady is the best she gets stright to the point point , makes is easy to follow well done 👏👏👌
Efficient, professional presentation that doesn't bore!! Thank you for being so succinct.
Nice to watch someone on TH-cam who knows what they are doing. She looks like she could do this in her sleep.
I was taught to let the parzipan "dry out" BEFORE ICING the cake. This is because the oils in the marzipan will seep through the icing, therefore leaving yellowish marks on it ... The rest of your video looks OK.
Did you turn the cake upside down first?
5:49 i have a question or am I confused. I saw you put two layers of mazapan . Why?
I thought you were going to put icing in a piping bag with different nozzles and do the decoration. Please reply I am very confused why 2 thick layers 5:49
Marzipan is made from almonds and is yellow, and has quite a nice flavour. The second white layer is fondant, made from sugar. It doesn't taste as interesting as marzipan, but isn't yellow, so looks better as a final layer. The second layer is also used because fruit from the cake can stain icing, and it looks smoother. You can't use a a piping bag for marzipan or fondant because it is too thick, it's like clay, so you might be thinking of frosting?
Do we not need to let the marzipan set for 24 hours befofe icing?
Not with fondant but yes for Royal Icing, that’s because the nut oils can leak out and discolour Royal Icing. I know this was three years ago but someone might need the info ❤
Great tutorial 🎄
Really useful, although white icing on a white surface makes it hard to see!
where u store this cake for one week? kindly clear this point
What's your marzipan recipe ? Also can you dye marzipan? Can you cover a fruit cake with fondant ????
That Waitrose marzipan is delicious. Whenever I buy it for covering my cakes, I buy an extra packet to snack on lol
Do I need to use a specific type of coloring for the icing? How much coloring (drops) would I need depending on the weight of the icing? Thanks
Gorgeous hair & beautiful hands
How long will the marzipan keep thaanks
Back again, 6 years later 🤗
wow you make it look so easy. Fingers crossed my looks half as good! Thank you
Excellent, succinct advice. Thanks. We followed this five or six years ago to ice our first, round, Christmas cake. Perfect. Since then, we've made loaf tin or square tin cakes to half or quarter for small Christmas cake gifts. You sort of 'skirt', but have to cut and join the corners. Everything still good though.
The only thing I would add is that older advice suggests: waiting a day or two after marzipanning before icing; and starting the whole process about two weeks before Christmas.
This might not be necessary for ready made marzipan and icing, but we still followed the advice.
God bless us everyone!
beautiful thank you for sharing this so helpful ideas , do you have a marzipan recipe for us, thank you the sugar icing is it fondant???

Perfect ! 🌲🌲
So many tips here. I've been doing a few mistakes. This is so helpful. Thanks.
Looks lovely and fresh and clean!
Ah brilliant, so glad to hear it's been useful! Happy decorating! 🎉
Hope yours comes out well, 🎄 ^Carena.
Thank you great tutorial.
That looks lovely. I will do that now. I only wonder how to smooth the cake itself! Mine does not have your flat finish so the marzipan will not be as flat and smooth. I wonder if I should cut the cake before...
Very Clear .Thanks k you Happy Christmas
I heard you can only store fondant for 3 days outside the fridge and you can't put it in the fridge because it will crack. Is this true?
Beautiful so well explained . Anyone would love to make one thankyou
at least a week before christmas :O. whoops.
I always check out this video at christmas
Is it ok to put icing straight onto marzipan without leaving marzipan to dry out?
Best to leave it to dry 12 hours to maximum of 2 days. Then ice your cake!
Thanks. I left it over the weekend. Your demonstration was really useful and fondant icing fairly smooth too.
Can u please share marzipan recipe
TQ, very clear instructions
That is the one of the nice and beautiful cake that lady had made
Thanks for the good advice 👨🍳⛄️👌🎄👍
Can you use anything els to get the marzipan to stick
Cake Noob’s question… isn’t there going to raw flour in the cake when you eat it?
If you follow the steps in the video, you'll have a lovely end result ready to be enjoyed. ^Nicola
Brilliant video and straight to the point
Very helpfully, thank.
oh....first think to do is not touching the cake with a bare hand!
Really helpful video, thanks!
How long can u store cake before use
Fruit cake keeps for a very long time due to the alcohol content.
@@jessicaallan9103 Thanks, but I heard you can only store fondant for 3 days outside the fridge and you can't put it in the fridge because it will crack. Is this true?

The white marking on the mirrors behind her are very distracting. Why would someone do that?
