I know I'm commenting on a very old post but you might like to know this.<br /><br />It isn't necessary to slice of the top of the cake to get a smooth top. Just turn the cake upside down. The bottom is always flat. The marzipan will hide the uneven edge at the bottom of the cake.<br /><br />When putting on the marzipan it's useful to have an empty jamjar. Roll it round the side of the cake when you've put the marzipan on and it will smooth out the surface and get rid of you finger marks.<br /><br />Finally, I've only just discovered yr blog and like it a lot. I've added it to my blogroll. My cooking blog: http://scallionrap.wordpress.com/Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11717309322729778838noreply@blogger.com
