Covering a Round Cake in Marzipan

Transform your round cake into a work of art with our step-by-step guide to covering it in marzipan. Our simple guide will take you through the process.

Knead the Marzipan to soften it. Then roll out on a board dusted with icing sugar. Rotate whilst rolling to create a circular shape, and continue to roll until your Marzipan is approximately 0.5cm thick.

Glaze the top and sides of your cake with honey.

Use your rolling pin to lift the marzipan and then unroll it directly onto your honey glazed cake.

Lift the pleats with one hand then press and smooth with the other hand.

Trim the excess marzipan with a sharp knife.

Your cake is ready to be iced!
