Christmas Jumper Cake Class

Service Description

Christmas Jumper Cake Class in Swindon Duration: 4 Hours Spaces: Maximum 2 students The showstopper. A fondant covered Christmas jumper cake, knitted texture and all, made start to finish in one day. You will work on your own three layer sponge, ganaching it to create the sharp structure fondant needs, then covering it cleanly before building the jumper itself. Cuffs, collar, knitted texture and the decorations across the front are all added by hand, and you will learn how each element is made rather than being handed pre made pieces. This is the most involved class I run in December and the one people are proudest of at the end of it. With only two students, you get personal guidance for the whole four hours. What You'll Learn • How to level, stack and fill a three layer cake • How to ganache for the sharp structure fondant needs • How to roll fondant to the correct thickness and cover without pleats, tears or air bubbles • How to create realistic knitted texture in fondant • How to make and attach cuffs, a collar and a hem so they look part of the jumper • How to model the decorations that go across the front • How to colour fondant evenly, including deeper festive shades • How to fix cracking, elephant skin and drying edges • Professional finishing techniques What's Included Everything is provided. • Your own three layer 6 inch sponge cake • All ganache, fondant, colours, tools and equipment • A board and box to take your cake home in • A glass of fizz, mince pies, tea and coffee, and Christmas music • Recipes and the full method emailed after the class Who Is This Class For? Anyone who has covered a cake in fondant before and wants to do something properly ambitious with it, and confident beginners who do not mind a long session. If you have done my Fondant Sharp Edges Masterclass, this is the natural next one. Good to Know Four hours with a break. You will be standing for most of it and the cake is heavy to carry out, so park close. All cakes are a 6 inch vanilla sponge, and flavours cannot be changed after booking. Allergens: the sponge contains wheat (gluten), egg and milk, ganache contains milk and soya, and fondant and decorations may contain soya and gelatine. Made in a kitchen that handles other allergens.
