Christmas Cake Toppers Cake Decorating and Baking Tutorial

Paul makes Santa’s legs using a very contemporary and quick technique and then makes his lovely shiny boots!

Here, Paul makes Santa’s torso by making a cone of sugarpaste. He then adds little details with white sugarpaste with the help of PME modelling tools.

Paul starts but adding a belt to his body and then shows us how to make arms to sit by Santa’s side. You could easily have them in a more upright position by placing something under them as they dry. Alternatively, you can insert wires but Paul opts for a cuter look.

In this lesson, Paul makes Santa’s head by adding cheeks to a ball of sugarpaste and then covers it with a thinner piece. He then uses modelling tools to bring them out and create the facial features.

Paul finishes off his Santa by adding a little bit of colour to Santa’s face as well as adding his famous facial hair. To finish it all off, he adds a red Santa hat and some holly.

Paul has already started the legs using the same technique as before and so we now learn how to add the stripes. He then shows us how to make the elf’s cute little clog-like shoes complete with bobbles….how cute!

In this lesson, Paul shows us how to make the elf’s torso using a cone of green sugarpaste. He then shows us how to create shapes using everyday household items to finish it off.

Paul starts by making the arms using the same technique as before and then adds the little extras to his outfit.

In this lesson, Paul makes the elf’s head using an even simpler technique than before! (since he doesn’t have big rosey Santa cheeks to make this time)

In this lesson, Paul gives our little elf a little hairdo and a cute little hat.

Paul makes rudolph’s legs which have been the quickest yet and then makes his torso complete with a cute snowflake jumper.

Here, we see a brilliant and simple way to make a cute Rudolph’s head with his big red shiny nose.

In this lesson, Paul makes Rudolph’s antlers using sugarpaste but ideally thinks it would be better to use modelling chocolate. He then adds some ears and a scarf to keep him warm.
