Icing a birthday cake

[Winniethewylde]

I've made a chocolate sponge cake for DDs birthday tomorrow. I've made the chocolate ganache and the decorations already. I've bought some ready to roll sugar paste to ice it with and I'm just wondering if I do it now will it go too hard or will it be ok til tomorrow?

Thanks in advance.

It'll be fine, I do mine up to a week in advance.

Happy decorating.

Great. Thanks. Do you cover it or put it in a box or something?

Mine normally go on cardboard cake boxes, but covering it will be fine. Don't put it in an airtight box or the fridge or the sugar paste will sweat.

Lovely, thank you. I'll put it on the cake stand and put it in a big cardboard box overnight

Don't forget to share a picture! Good luck!

Done!

That's fantastic! Well done. Hope you enjoy eating it.

Thanks! Hope it tastes ok. Managed to cover the major cracks with Sooty

Wow that is brilliant well done!

That looks fab! Can I ask what fondant icing you used to cover it as I'm currently making my little girls 1st birthday cake and asdas own and dr oetkers icing have just fallen apart on me :(! x
