  • Once your Almond Fondant is out of the oven, let it cool down for about 15min. Then, unmold onto your serving plate

ORANGE RUM FROSTING

  • When your Almond Fondant has completely cooled down, prepare the Orange Rum Frosting.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the Confectioners' sugar with the Orange Juice and Dark Rum using your Mini Whisk. Pour it right way on your cake with a Spatula or using a Pastry bag. Decorate to your liking and Enjoy! Bon Appétit!
