How to: Fondant super sharp edges (upside down panel method)

Suscribe to my new courses page, with more to come! lucia-s-school-2323.thinkific...
Here is the link to the method I use for achieving sharp edges with chocolate ganache (credit: Shawna McGreevy): • How to Ganache (or but...
On this cake, I am using a 3:1 dark chocolate ganache ratio (that means three parts chocolate, one part cream). With milk or white chocolate ganache, I always go one propotion higher (4:1) as they are softer due to their composition.
The ganache ratio may vary, up or down, depending on the climate in your area. Cold, dry weather will require a lower chocolate proportion, while hot and humid enviroments may need go up a bit so your ganache base is hard enough for this method to work more effectively.
I hope you enjoy it! Please subscribe if you do, more english tutorials to come!

What a fantastic tutorial. No annoying music, Clear and detailed instructions - in perfect English. You explained what you were doing and why at every step. Thank you so much. I can't wait to try this technique.

Thank you so much!! ❤

I have seen many panelling methods but I’ve never seen the upside down pinching it together method. I use this method all the time for square cakes when you pinch the side together with two fondant smoother‘s, and then it just kind of just pinches it right off on the square cakes, or anything that has edges, but not with an upside down panelling method and this is just brilliant usually you just cut out a circle and stick it on top but this pinching Method is brilliant! thank you for the help! making my daughter very difficult Rapunzel cake for her 18th birthday and it’s been quite challenging for me and the biggest thing I was afraid of was how the heck I was going to fondant the cake cause I’m not good at it but now I have a chance of finally making it look right!!! You should win award for this tip!!

[@tierra5020]

Hands down the best explanation/teaching/detailed step-by-step video of this subject on KZbin !! Thank you and great job!

[@CJ77777]

I know this vid was 4 years ago but just wanted to say thank you! My cake turned out perfect and this was my first time trying sharp edges!

[@kimwashington985]

This is the best method I've ever seen for covering a cake with fondant! I just love it and can't wait to try it!

[@mariacastellanosramos8731]

Thank you! finally I discovered the secret of perfect edges

[@jleeproductions]

So I've finally tried your method. And for the first time after so many years of imperfect edges, success. Your method works. But very important that the base (buttercream or ganache) is smooth. Which is another tricky thing to do 😓 Thank you 💐💐💐💐

[@claudiafonderson9988]

I’m here 3years after and this is still helpful 🙏🏾

[@onosheferachael5621]

You method is the best I have seen so far.this is what I do use to achieve my sharp edges.i follow your procedure and it came out well.thanks

[@julietkalu8314]

This method is really the best in achieving sharp edges. Thanks

[@jenniferhaverstock6241]

Wonderfully clear, helpful tutorial--thank you for taking the time & trouble to share your knowledge!

[@robinshane4661]

I love how natural you are while teaching. You are easy to follow and quite talented.

[@michellesicheri]

I’ve just done this on a square cake. Super super sharp 90 degree edges. Thanks so much.

[@joannesandland5558]

Thank you so much your tutorials are amazing!!!

[@gaidemirchyan8781]

Try Fantasia Fondant, you won't regret it. It is a very forgiving fondant with a long work time, which makes it easy to work with for beginners and pros. Fantasia Fondant is formulated with elasticity making it a high performing fondant when covering cakes or performing in silicon cake molds. The colors of Fantasia Fondant are vivid and fadeproof. This fondant will not prematurely dry, crack, tear, break and 'elephant skin.' Offers a less sweet taste that resembled a homemade marshmallow fondant.

[@obetoflora5400]

I love youuuuuuu, this is the best ever , detailed,thank you so very much

[@fluffypenguinbabe]

Thank you so much! I have always avoided the panel method because I don't like seeing the seams where it joins. But this is so smooth! I have ordered three different brands of fondant so I can try and see which works best for me. I am quite nervous because I really want to get those lovely corners. That trick with the smoothers is very clever, I need to order one of those phone holder rings!
