I had a great day in London at the wonderful Delicious Magazine’s HQ teaching some of their keen cakey readers all about using marzipan for perfect cake covering and decorating. It was a great day and everyone loved working with the Renshaw marzipan (and eating it of course).
Check out the website here to learn how to cover a Christmas cake (or any cake in fact) with Marzipan to achieve a great professional finish on your cakes at home. Enjoy!
Calling all enthusiastic and keen cakey people! After lots of interest we have put some dates in for small intimate classes at Fancy Nancy.
