MethodOn removal from the oven, invert the moulds to help create a flat base. Once totally cool, cut each one in half. Roll out the Odense 30/70 marzipan to 1cm thick and cut out disks to fit in the middle of the cakes. Spread boiled apricot jam onto the cuts and then sandwich together with a marzipan disk. Mix some Dawn Foods fondant sublime straight from the pail until it softens and place it into a piping bag. Pipe onto the top of the cakes and decorate with Dobla chocolate Christmas decorations of your choice. |
