Suzie’s Vintage Teddy Bear Cake Decorating and Baking Tutorial

In the first lesson, Suzie demonstrates how to layer ganache and carve the teddy bears body. Once the body has been covered in ganache and put in the fridge, Suzie carves and ganaches the teddy bears basket.

The head is made up of rice krispie squares which have been pre moulded in 2 6” round bowls beforehand. Suzie uses ganache to bring the two halves together on a bamboo dowel.

In this lesson Suzie rolls out the sugarpaste and uses a houndstooth check texture mat to achieve a vintage look before covering the body. Once the body and board is covered, Suzie transfers the cake onto the new board.

In this lesson, Suzie shows you how to cover the rounded head with a smooth finish.

Suzie uses a Karen Davies basket weave mould to create the pattern effect for the basket. For the best result roll the sugarpaste thick and apply a fair bit of pressure to make sure that the whole pattern is visible when done.
