Masterclass: How to Cover a Cake with Sugarpaste/Fondant | Cupcake Jemma

[@christiegurganus254]

this is still the best cake tutorial out there regarding fondant.

[@katevines721]

I love how you’re all so generous with your talent and knowledge ... thank you for helping us ‘newbies’ out xx

[@anannyasriram5052]

Hands down the best tutorial for covering cakes with fondant. Most tutorials just tell you to pick up the fondant, cover the cake and smooth it down. I appreciate Jemma and Sally for giving us information about even the tiniest detail.

[@valharris95]

Sally used to be soo cute and shy in front of the camera!! Now she's a complete star!!!!

[@achul]

Yes.. I also see that now Sally is more confident and shows her happy go lucky personality... 😁😁😁

[@angiegarten9722]

This video is by far the most best explained tutorial in covering a cake!!! Well done girls! Keep up your excellent work!! 😍👌🏼

[@crazycatlady19691]

I actually prefer the one by wiltons.

[@maryamsameen2847]

I have learnt from this video few years ago and still revisit to refresh my memory. It is absolutely the best and "FREE" tutorial you can ever find. I know some of the bakers charge ridiculous fees just to show (almost) the same method.

[@epiyawne]

Okay, this is AMAZING. That fondant-covered cake board-tip is gold. Thank you!

[@sja1330]

Thank you so much for this video. I finally made a wedding cake a couple of weeks ago that I was asked to make three years ago. I watched this video several times in preparation and took your advice of using madeira cake for the base. The tips on covering a cake in fondant icing really helped me to get a professional finish with no creases. The brides were very happy with their cake. So huge thank you Gemma and Sally. xx

[@frenchyontravel]

Respect ❤️❤️ it’s a very physical practice!!! And that girl can do a perfect circle from scratch??? 😳😳😳😳

[@doubblleeggeeprincess3790]

❤That's right ladies.....you do the "measurement check" just like I do. I love the way you've emphasized using corn flour in rolling out the fondant, as against the icing sugar I was trained on and got used to.

[@np4197]

The sprinkles behind them !!! I want them all

[@freda7922]

That was beautiful thank you I am a proud grandma I love baking and I learned so much also I remember many years ago I made a cake for my sisters wedding so you can see how much I love baking and also cooking I always send a blessing to everyone God bless you all and stay safe I will see you more on your video show bye-bye for now

[@playwerk]

You can totally tell that they really know, what they are talking about!

[@irinaismail6386]

Covering a cake with fondant has always seen like a nightmare. I've watched this video so many times since they posted it but today I finally had the courage to do it and HOLY. IT. WORKS!!! I've got few indentations at the bottom but that's my least worry because the crisp edge is just phenomenal for a first timer :D Thank you Sally and Jemma!

[@Sortaboring]

Who wants more of Sally? Cause I know I do🙋

[@glowdawn1976]

YAAAAAAAAAS

[@justincarlos7404]

Me! She's an amazing cake decorator!

[@mfc3553]

✋ I like her,she seems very humble.

[@dixieparker7710]

Sortaboring Yes x

[@jojogalorport5130]

🙋me too! i like her, shes cool!👍👍

[@airarosedalida6971]

I would like to thank you guys for this wonderful tutorial . I am not a pro i am just passionate in cake design. I have been looking for tutorials every now and then for almost 2 years now and it still didn't help me to have sharp edges on my cake and i've watch really different kinds of tutorials and methods. So finally couple of weeks ago I asked my husband if i could follow a course but then days later i saw your video and i gave it a try today and finally i did. THANK U VERYYYYY MUCH . I have save 145€ hehehehe for the course. U two are my angels.

[@daniellesalman890]

Yes definitely the clearest tutorial. I can see where I need to improve now and the little mistakes I may have missed on my first attempt. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you 😍

[@debrahenderson4628]

I have been decorating cakes for a while now, but today I tried your method and used the white ganache recipe. all I can say is WOW!!! I am so happy I did. I will never put fondant on a cake any other way. thank you for saving my cake decorating life!!

[@jageenperson]

Omg Sally is such a sweetheart!!

[@koalanoodle689]

not to be rude... but.... its a bit weird saying shes a sweetheart.... exspecially if ur a boy

[@Pedro--cn1pw]

Of all the cooking channels i've seen on KZbin yours is the more organized and well made. Is perfect & my it's favorite of all.

[@emmasgoodies]

This was a great tutorial!!

[@imanazam3997]

[@xolio1993]

Sally or Jemma?

[@Girly_z]

The best thing about this video is how much u incourage the watchers. You ladies are amazing!

[@AmandaKriti]

i never thought this would require so much work

[@dunnolol7630]

ikr i thought you just put the fondant on and smoothed it out!

[@devilswithsugar]

+dunno lol well that is basically what they did just with a million steps😂

[@dunnolol7630]

+beinglauren i know😂but i thought it would only take like 5 minutes max aha

[@angelica8000]

Looks so easy but when I tried to do a few years ago was a fucking nightmare!

[@leexinrui1622]

I did small 5inch cake from scratch and it took me 3hours to finish the whole process of baking cake, making buttercream, crumb coating etc... They made it seems so easy. Worst part is, washing everything up 🌚

[@Sheila74]

If I lived where you are I would definitely want to work for you. I absolutely love LOVE love cake decorating. I can ice a rack of 8” rounds to a full sheet, 14-16 cakes in less than an hour. Decorating the rack a bit longer of course but not by much.

[@ornaodonovan5573]

Thanks so much Sally and Gemma! I'm making my sisters wedding cake in September and you have given me the confidence to start practicing! The tips are amazing! X

[@cheyennebarton]

This was so satisfying to watch, holy cow. And Sally is a cutie, and a total delight! Crumbs and Doilies seems like such a lovely place to work. Everyone is so talented and so sweet.

[@LovetheLoveliness]

the end result is made me think 'wow, that is what perfection looks like!'

[@barbarasuere18]

Awesome

[@nikkigrant6988]

Sally, absolutely fab tutorial. clear concise and I love to watch you work. effortless. and a voice on U tube that doesnt annoy the hell outta you. brilliant. thanks. love this channel its my go to for cooking.

[@cgkty5315]

[@jojogalorport5130]

[@noavdn4922]

Hey Jemma ! I made your vanilla cupcakes today and they are sooo yummy and fluffy ! Thanks for the best cupcake recipe eveeeer !!! ps I love your channel and you deserve more subscribers !!!

[@Stephen_Lafferty]

...and after finding Dane's first appearance making macrons with Gemma, I've found Sally's first episode! It's great to see just how much that Sally has grown in confidence in front of the camera, too!

[@mbcm23]

Hey Jemma, can you make a masterclass video describing differences between gumpaste/sugar paste and fondant. And recipes for them?

[@Taddyjorge]

Jemma and Sally: fabulous tutorial. By far the best tutorial for sugarpaste application and finishes I've seen.

[@louiscalata]

This is helpful. So much more tips than what i got in culinary school. And perfectly timed as i'm about to make a 2 layer fondant cake next week.

[@alexk8457]

This is the best tutorial regarding covering a cake with sugar paste I have seen to date. Explained everything. Thank you so much. Alex.

[@Soluciones_Publicitarias]

[@denagustafson6070]

This is the most amazing cake demonstration ever! I aspire to be half as skilled at decorating one day! Thanks so much for the video.

[@DadadadaMusic]

This was a really satisfying video to watch with ocd hahahah😂

[@sara_k527]

So true, the end result is so perfectly crafted and they did everything so neat.. I think c&d hires people with ocd haha..

[@karenelliottxx]

DadadadaMusic hahahah!

[@kirsty4martin]

My ocd isnt triggered by this sort of stuff or something out of place. Luckily it wouldnt bug me to the point of self harm or thinking i was gona die.

[@thecupkakequeen7139]

I'm entering a sugarcraft competition again next year in march (i went this march as well) and i got a commended grade. But now i'm aiming higher, for at least a bronze, hopefully a silver, magically a gold, IMPOSSIBLY a best in class. So i need all the tips i can get. Thank you so much!

[@mantra4ia]

The cake smoother reminds me of dry-walling, but tastier.

[@melissagoatley8941]

i dont know what im for fascinated by,,,,,your recipes or your very organized baking pantry.....

[@BakingWithElliott]

I really dislike sugarpaste and even though I have worked with it for the past 3 years, I still dislike it. These tips are super helpful, thanks for sharing guys!

[@tayuu2001]

[@mackenziez9597]

The most British thing to say: It's not a cake without jam

[@luthaesmy]

okay let's agree to not disagree, that this is the best fondant tutorial on the internet

[@lotfibouhedjeur]

These girls are such a vibe. Excellent demonstration.

[@pollywonka460]

Hello! when you say you leave the cake overnight or for three hours, do you leave it room temperature or in the fridge? Since there's buttercream in it I reckon you need to chill it but you didn't say so I prefer to ask

[@dallinmoravec940]

i would also like to know this

[@dallinmoravec940]

@CupcakeJemma

[@JM-ri7xx]

I would like to know as well!! Did you by any chance find out from other sources?

[@ainsleighbates1344]

[@louiselemon9717]

I love watching your videos for many reasons. Of course for the knowledge you share :-) You and your guest personality which are great and lastly I just love to hear you talk and you could be reading a Dr. Suess book and I would love your dialect just the same. :-) Thanks for your expertise, I will be trying the madera cake this weekend.

[@nikkiyankee1791]

As my piano teacher always said: Practice does not make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect.

[@AardbijVsAardappel]

Nikki Yankee im a piano teacher, and I tell my students exactly that. Plus my name is also Nikki xD

[@koalanoodle689]

im also a piano student! my teacher tells me that too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! im called Ava Titchener... obviously bc it says!

[@hugoflores8090]

And then he/she spanked you

[@najmahalim369]

Great job with so much in details! It’s really really helpful for new baker like me ❤

[@SuperficialGloworm]

So Sally's adorable...

[@TC-pz6zq]

Right?? 🙂

[@dolcifioricakes]

Best work I have seen and I have watched thousands of vids on this topic

[@preciousviina]

but does white chocolate ganache taste better than buttercream ?

[@dallinmoravec940]

depends on your preference, they are completely separate things, one is frosting made with butter and sugar and one is just chocolate lol so just whatever you like, some people use ganache because they think it is more sturdy or they can get sharper edges, but both can be used in the same way

[@acestrella93]

Personally for sugar paste cake I preferred white chocolate ganache because improves also the taste, because most of the people doesn't like how the sugar paste tastes, and with the sugar of the buttercream and the sugar paste is just too sweet, so If you add de ganache you can enjoy better the whole cake not just the inside part :D well that's my opinion and my costumers :)

[@LisaABill]

You are a great teacher, Jemma! I appreciate that you are always prompting your guest hosts (or you just outright tell us) the reason for doing or making things a certain way! Thank you!

[@Sweety15267]

isn't Sally the nicest person ever :)

[@koalanoodle689]

she isnt the nicest person ever... but i get wut u mean! but theres nicer ppl out there so thats why i disliked! im srry if sally sees this and is offended... but we dont even know her!.... but im sure shes rlly nice but not nicest person ever... im a fan of sally

[@Justice2Hearts]

I don't know u and I'm not a supporter of tattoos (religiously) but the fact that you bake and have a bunch of tattoos looks super freaking cool like it's so bad ass and kinda gap-moe? Idk it's really cool

[@giad5455]

I have a new respect for people who make cakes

[@flamflam6652]

Fondant looks amazing, but tastes like lipstick.

[@emc8316]

You eat lipstick?

[@emc8316]

***** Ah, I don't really wear make up. I just occasionally wear some eye liner :)

[@LadyBlueRR]

Flam Flam .....especially store bought fondant.... try making your own....and adding flavors.... basic one is a marshmallow fondant we use for kids cakes 😀

[@rtubleiii]

Lady Blue m T

[@sabrinaveksler9795]

It's easy to make your own, actually. Some mini marshmallows and a small bit of water, microwave in 30 second increments until it gets puffy, stir in a bunch of sifted powdered sugar, then once formed, knead with your hands until it's the right consistency for your needs.

[@TantriczooLisa]

Thank you Sally and Jemma! I'm making my daughters 18th birthday cake this month and I've never used Fondant before 🤯 this video is very useful. I hope it turns out OK!!! 😁

[@mufidamaya6874]

How did it go?!

[@TheDiadays]

Did I just see a tub of Strawberry flavored Stik-O sitting on the upper right side of the cabinet?? Those are made here in th Ph!

[@SmurfetteLover24]

Word I was waiting for someone to say it

[@TheDiadays]

;)

[@lynkimaberin5956]

Geneva Mae Diaday Omg I just noticed it! Now I have to know who eats them 😂

[@lynkimaberin5956]

I just went to Crumbs & Doilies website, and I think they use the strawberry Stik-O on the Strawberry Milkshake cake! Omg 💗

[@shirley0151]

Wow!! Those edges are flawless ! 😍

[@LadyBlueRR]

Not true.. here in America Fondant can be used on just about any cake

[@CupcakeJemma]

+Kcnya Of course you can put fondant on any cake! What we're saying is that for the best results, and to minimise cracking, sinking, bulging, etc, you should choose a cake which is a bit firmer, as the softer sponge cakes, carrot cake, for example, are more likely to do all of the above.

[@LadyBlueRR]

+CupcakeJemma so true but knowing the right application and how think or thin to make fondant helps.... some folks have theie tricks to keep from cracking etc.

[@LadyBlueRR]

+CupcakeJemma oops *thick

[@LadyBlueRR]

+CupcakeJemma by the way....absolutely love you guys!!!!

[@preeyaa48]

+CupcakeJemma how to make fondant? I once tried but it turned out so hard after kneading it and started cracking after putting it on the cake.

[@deanabenny8033]

Excellent tutorial. I love both of u together. . Gemma, I'm a big fan and now I'm a fan of Sally too 😍

[@jordanl2317]

Although it's really friendly, I have the feeling that Sally is slightly intimidated by her boss. Probably just not used to the front of the camera. Great video though :)

[@maidahsohail5547]

[@crystalzone20]

That was really the tip of the day on how to cover a board, which I used to do in a complicated way. Thank you🌹

[@abigailabud2831]

Honestly the only thing i could think while watching this was how much paper gets wasted? They could easily reuse it!

[@oonaghfoley1070]

paper?

[@rossmail5924]

I agree! re-use the paper if it's just been used short-term between cooked layers.

[@abigailabud2831]

Yes, that's exactly my point!! :)

[@sofiarodriguez6768]

The lady on the left is constantly walking over Sally. Not in a mean way but when you've done interviews or improv you will understand what I mean. She's a good interviewer i think she just needs better timing also Sally is more on the quiet side which is probably why the lady doesn't notice she's doing so. Wonderful video and wonderful girls

[@lynkimaberin5956]

Sofia Rodriguez well, she's the owner of the shop. She knows everything that's going on so she talks a lot. She just needs someone to demonstrate it.
