Lost in Paradise Cake Decorating and Baking Tutorial

Tracey is all about creating great cakes using the minimum number of tools. In this lesson she shows how to create a simple, homemade, leaf stencil then using the stencil creates a lovely leaf design on the cake.

Tracey uses her ‘Toilet seat’ technique to cover the board then moves on to create the lovely waterfall effect. 

In this lesson Tracey uses google for some guidance to create the totem towers. However, the designs can be entirely as you want so plenty of poetic license with this one. She then paints the towers to great effect to give that ancient jungle look.

We start to see the mysterious scene develop as Tracey adds the Tiki torches. Again, simple techniques to great effect.

In Keeping with the scene that’s building up, Tracey creates the decorative plaque. She shows a really cool technique to get a neat and professional looking font.

Tracey refers to the font site: www.dafont.com

Now that the plaque and totem towers have dried, it’s time to add them to the cake. Tracey then makes leaves to decorate the cake, but also to hide the decoration supports.

Our Lost in Paradise theme is really coming together now as Tracey ads some colourful flowers to the cake. They are very simple, but effective additions.

What a lovely way to end this colourful lost in paradise cake with two beautiful birds of paradise. This cake can’t help bring a smile to your face!
