WHAT'S NOT INCLUDED:  This course is for the process of making a standing cake shape. It does not include the cake baking process or icing recipes.

RECOMMENDATION: You can use ganache or buttercream to make your shape, however it is highly recommended to use ganache. The benefit of ganache is that it is more structurally stable. Which means once it sets, it stays set.  If you are keen and want to become a ganache pro, you can take our Ganache Making masterclass.
