    I'm Fran, I’m an Italian Cake Designer and I love to share my work online so that I can help people all over the world who has my same passion for cakes and cake toppers making.
    First, I started playing around thanks to a book that I bought for a friend of mine during Christmas time, then I went to a college in Eastbourne (UK).
    After coming back to Italy, I still try to attend as many workshops online and off-line, as I know that there is always room for improvement 💪🏻
    I have an Italian CZcams Channel as well: "Francesca Sugar Art" bit.ly/2d0ASHu but because many asked me to translate in English as well, here I am with this English channel too.
    P.S.: I never given the book back to my friend as I loved it too much, but I bought her another one

      Hi been having problems with fondant recently. Its easy to tear even though i knead it already. When i cover the cake especially when its color blue. The fondant cracks easily if not it tears down easily. Im not sure whats the problems. Coz its not hard coz i already knead it. I tried to put shortening, i also tried cornstarch and tylose but none of them solve my problem. Can you please help me

      Thank you for the tip on removing fondant accents. But when I do that, the colour bleeds and ruins my cake . Can you suggest something to fix it?

      You can try to add more butter to keep it a bit solfter, however it will be harder to model. But just a little bit can make a big difference

    • @DeliciousSparklyCakes
      @DeliciousSparklyCakes  Před 3 lety +1

      Sure, the modelling paste is just the normal fondant plus CMC, Tylose powder or Gum Adragant in it, which helps to get the fondant to0 get more elastic and harder, that's why is perfect for decorations and cake toppers.
      The Gumpaste instead is even more elastic and it gets harder more quickly too, so it is perfect not only for making petals' flowers but also for things that need to be harder and are really thin too.

    • @DeliciousSparklyCakes
      @DeliciousSparklyCakes  Před 2 lety

      Hi Patti, fondant always tent to dry out and become harder plus it's really fragile. Saing that, it could be the type of fondant that you're using too...
      Are you using fondant for modelling?
      Try to change brand and see if it's better for you.

    HELP PLEASE my fondant bleeds on to the buttercream. How do I avoid this

    • @DeliciousSparklyCakes
      @DeliciousSparklyCakes  Před 2 lety

      That's a really hard one.
      There are things that can help but really there is not a straightforward answer.
      First of all, it depends on the weather (too humid or too hot?)
      The more humid or hot it is, the more the fondant and buttercream tent to melt. So you have to try to keep the cake at the right temperature.
      Try adding a bit of CMC on your fondant. This will help a little bit, but I can't guarantee that it won't' happen anymore.
      Also, it depends on the brand of the ingredients that you're using. Some are better than others.

    • @DeliciousSparklyCakes
      @DeliciousSparklyCakes  Před 2 lety

      Hi Sanaa, normally the fondant gets a bit hard anyway, but it will be still is easy to cut it.
      However if it gets too hard maybe you have used the wrong type of fondant. Are you sure you have used the correct type of fondant? The one for covering cakes?

    • @DeliciousSparklyCakes
      @DeliciousSparklyCakes  Před rokem

      First of all if it tears probably your fondant is too soft. You might need to add a tiny bit of cmc.
      But if its already torn you can try this: czcams.com/video/f6KjXSndUWg/video.html
