Top Tips

Top Tips:

  • Be patient before you start decorating – there’s nothing worse than spending all that time on the icing to just watch it melt straight off.
  • You’ll be able to tell if your cakes are fully cooked if they spring back when you gently press their tops. However, if you’re not fully confident with this method, simply use the knife/toothpick trick. If your knife comes out clean after being inserted into the centre of the cake, it’s done.
  • We think raspberries and chocolate go perfectly together, so don’t hesitate to whack some on top once finished… or even in the middle.
