Here’s the time involved in making a decoration cake:

 

  • It takes 4-10 days for the fondant covered cake board to air dry - so please try to order early!

 

  • Cake design: Not sure, from 30 minutes to up to days! But this is the most fun part! In fact given longer "stewing" time, the cake usually turns out with a better design!

 

  • In general it takes 30-60 minutes to bake one cake, i.e. preparing cake batter, excluding the time the cake stays in the oven; and 10-20 minutes of cleaning up afterwards. Not everything is machine washable!

 

  • It takes 30-40 minutes to slice up and frost a cake. Small cakes aren’t necessarily easier to frost – most of the time the opposite is true.

 

  • It takes 30-60 minutes to whip up the frosting, tint into different colors, fill various piping bags and prepare to decorate

 

  • Actual decorating time with frosting and piping tips? It depends! Very basic borders and writing takes 10-20 minutes.

 

  • It takes 20-30 minutes to roll out the fondant and covering up the basic cake board, smooth out the wrinkles, and cut to size.

 

  • It takes 30-60 minutes to roll out the fondant and covering up a whole cake, smooth out the wrinkles, and cut to size.

 

  • It takes up to 60 minutes to make 2-3 fondant roses (please bear with me, I am not a pro, you know)
