How to make a 3D World Cake . I bake my cake on the shape of a ball. Ganache it to join to sides together and to correct imperfection this also will give more strength to your ball.

196 days ago by hellsbells | 0 comments »

Hi We are chuffed with the response from our customers with the Cakes-Away postable box. Had some lovely images posted on FB and twitter of results.

So I took a few hours to figure them out and I documented the process. Let’s start with an image of the technique, almost completed: Pretty, huh?
