    love your channel! i'm a classically trained chef but not baker and i've learned so much and so many cool tricks and tips from watching your videos. unlike most chefs, i love to bake because i love to eat what i bake! i have a huge sweet tooth and can't wait to make your bailey's cake. i died when you said, "this is when you get a massive back cramp" because that has definitely happened to me when i decorate my cakes!

    Thank you!!! So helpful. In case anyone was wondering though, the cake sweating or not doesn't have to do with the water activity (or liquid content) of the ganache-- it has to do with the water in the AIR or the relative humidity where you are. When the air, which naturally has some water vapor in it (amount varies depending on climate) contacts the cake, the cake is cold so it cools the AIR around it, causing the vapor in the air that's right by the surface of the cake to condense, and the newly condensed droplets stick to the cake since only the air closest to the cake gets cold enough that the vapor comes out of it. #thermodynamics!

    Hi Liz. Thanks for the video. I live in the Caribbean/South-America where it's almost always hot. I do use American buttercream and it crusts well once I let it set at room temp for 8 hours (providing that the sun it out). I just damp it and apply the fondant. However, I cannot work vigorously to get the sharp edges.

    • @SugarGeekShow
      @SugarGeekShow  5 лет назад

      Try using white chocolate ganache instead, it stays firmer for much longer so you can get those sharp edges with the fondant

    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.

    I tried the firm ganache, let it sit room temp over night, it firmed up to a softer peanut butter consistency. I don't know why it didn't get hard enough.
    I live in the Caribbean, temp ranges 87°F to 92°F. I was hoping it would get rock hard. Don't know what i did wrong😭

    • @stephaniedeklerk5754
      @stephaniedeklerk5754 3 года назад +1

      You can try putting it in the fridge to harden up or you might need to add a bit less cream to your chocolate (the more cream you add the looser the Ganache will be) peanut butter consistency is actually the perfect consistency to decorate your cake with because if it gets firmer you will end up pulling cake off while trying to ice. Once you have finished coating your cake with ganache pop it in the freezer to firm it up. If it doesn't firm up and its still super soft then definitely add less cream! I live in South Africa so it gets very hot here as well so trust me I know the Hassels the heat can cause! Hope this helps
