Welcome to the Cake Decorators Q&A

Hi fellow bakers,

Just a Q in the intestest of time saving, I’m making the teddy bear cake for a friends baby shower which is on a Saturday afternoon. I’m baking the cake during the week prior & keeping it in the refrigerator & was planning to stay up after work on Friday completing teddy. However was wondering if I could perhaps carve teddy and stack & ganache on a thursday night & refrigerate & then on Friday apply the hot water & ganache etc…? Or is it best to do it all on the Friday night?

Thanks so much

Hi Meeraben

That is what I usually do. I don’t have the fridge too cold because thick ganache can sometimes crack, particularly if it has a very high coco content. I use 70% and have the fridge setting on 4, that works for me, with the cake on the small board and boxed.

Thank you soo much once again madeitwithlove! Always so helpful! Xx

You’re welcome xx
