Hi Veena,
Can i apply edible sugar lace on ganache directly? or do I have to cover the cake with fondant?
Veena Azmanov
Yes, of course Zenani. Just attach it with water. A light brush of water is all it needs.

hi..
I follow the exact same way. Bu t i always feel that with the plastic and tape on top, the horizontal level may get imbalanced. Don’t you think so? How do ensure that it doesn’t happen?
Thanks

I don’t think the plastic affects much. I have tried doing this method for long. Now I don’t use the top board anymore much. I will share that video soon too.

Hi Veena.
I have watched lots of your blogs and vids. It amazes me how sharp you get your edges with both fondant, and buttercream. I have tried, well I’ve lost count, several times to get my fondant not to tear or crack. I’ve used so many different brands. As yet, have not found a REALY good stretchy fondant that doesn’t tear!! Please help! What do you use?
Kind regards josine

Hi Josine. As you can see in the video. I do a simple yet sure process. I do hope it helps you. I have tired Satin Ice, my homemade fondant as well as some local brands here they all work with this method. Majority of my cakes are now Satin Ice…. Thanks.
