Paul comes up with another simple and brilliant way to create lovely textures using wafer paper and edible paints. Say no more. Watch to find out!

Once again Paul is using royal icing to texture the cake but this time is using stiff peak royal icing. Just a small palette knife and some stiff peak royal icing in a bowl and we’re all set.

Here Paul shows us how to make lovely simple flowers using wafer paper and discs of flower paste. A very simple technique that is a fairly quick process once you get going and no doubt will be a technique you use more often in the future.

Things are moving along quickly and now it’s time to stack the cake. Just a little ganache or royal icing to stick the cakes down and then allow to set for a little bit.

Here Paul adds some further texture to the cake by painting it with lovely metallic colours and then goes on to add the lovely wafer paper flowers. Paul attaches them with little balls of sugarpaste with toothpicks pierced through them. Later Paul will show us how to hide the toothpicks or at least make them look pretty.

In this final lesson Paul shows us a nice way to finish the little flowers using up the rest of the coloured squares so nothing goes to waste. He then goes on to show us a nice way to finish it all off with a little spray and some lovely white ribbon.
