It's a challenging technique! Make sure you keep it away from humidity, spread the mixture as thin as possible, and if you're making the glucose at home, make sure you have the right consistency!

@@pastambutique2558 Hi! The humidity has a huge impact when working with sugar, this is why we bake it on low temperature. Give it some time! Some people leave it to dry more than 2 hours!

[@lynnjepson8218]

as it dries out more on the cake does it become really hard to cut? Or should it be removed before serving?

[@ButtercutBakery]

You don't want to cut into it! I unwrap mine before cutting, but the good things is that it's easy to remove :)

[@ButtercutBakery]

My pleasure! The sheet should stay as far from humidity as possible and the refrigerator is very humid! I would advise you not to because when it comes back to room temperature it will be bendy...

Thank you for answering! I really was looking forward to trying it on a Buttercream cake :( Great thing I didnt!!! Lol Will def try it on fondant!

Hi nice tutorial, I have few questions this looks awesome but while cutting the cake will this be easy or hard to cut? Can we make this day's beforehand or have to make it on the same day?

[@ButtercutBakery]

Hi! Thank you! This will not be easy to cut into, specially using this method, I'll be working on filming other methods. The best thing to do is unwrap the sugar sheet before cutting the cake, the good news is it's very easy to remove! Regarding when to make this, sometimes it takes a few hours to actually dry but don't leave it out too much, also keep away from the fridge because sugar and humidity are enemies :) Hope this helps! Pam x

[@dnh119]

Thank you so much for the recipe! I love that you showed us how to make the glucose and I don’t have to buy another tub of something. I tried this last night and I don’t know what’s wrong with it 😩 I made half the recipe. It’s for a very small cake. A few questions... What does the lemon juice do for the mixture? Keep it pliable? Draws out moisture? I think I may have added a tiny bit too much. I rolled it out super thin, put in the oven, let it cool and waited a few hours and it was still sticky. I left it on the counter to dry overnight and it’s still sticking ☹️ I colored the sugar myself and I thought maybe there was too much gel coloring, making it extra moist?? Not sure. It’s been almost 24 hours. What do you think it might be? Also, is there a specific temp the glucose should reach rather than testing it in the cold water? I’ll have to try it again. You make it look so simple. PS. Your nails are beautiful. They look clean and well groomed. I’m not sure why the negativity from the other commenter

[@ButtercutBakery]

Hi! Thank you for your comment on my nails, that's very sweet to mention! Regarding the recipe, I wanna start by saying don't beat yourself up this is a complicated technique although looks easy on video. The humidity plays a major part in these kind of decorations, I would say keep it in the oven on low temperature a bit longer. The coloring shouldn't affect it much. About the lemon in the glucose, it's used in order for the sugar not to crystallize so we need it to stay in liquid form. Things to consider: did you get your glucose the right consistency? I think there are a few recipes that use a candy thermometer for the glucose, which by the way is more accurate, but I don't have one so I test it in cold water. Also, I've uploaded a different method, did you check it? Maybe it'll suit you better? Let me know if you need anything else! Hope this helps! Pam x

[@xxxStarlightSimonexx]

Does the recipe for the glucose give exactly the amount needed for this sheet recipe?

[@ButtercutBakery]

This recipe covered a 5” cake ☺️

[@ButtercutBakery]

You need 130g of glucose, the recipe posted is for demonstrating purposes, but if I recall, it makes about enough!

[@hahacreationz]

Can u put the cake covered in sugar sheet in fridge

[@ButtercutBakery]

I wouldn't advise you to do so. The humidity of the fridge will damage the sugar sheet.

[@alimkazi5889]

Can we make it without oven

[@ButtercutBakery]

The oven will help eliminate humidity from the sheet which will help it set faster but yes you can skip the oven if your weather in non-humid

[@gouriskitchen3380]

Can it use on whipped cream cake??

[@ButtercutBakery]

I wouldn’t advise you to. Whipped cream frosting has so much moisture in it and won’t harden like buttercream or ganache so that might crumble the sheet!
