Today we're talking about how to cover a fruit cake with fondant icing.
First we'll prepare the cake. The preparation is so important... remember the blemishes, holes and unevenness aren't going to magically disappear when you put the fondant on. We need to get the cake level and flat before we start.
Then we'll put on the almond or marzipan icing, and then go ahead and put on the fondant icing.
To finish it off I'll decorating it with a quick and easy Christmas themed design.
Enjoy!
