Aston Martin Golf Cart Cake Decorating and Baking Tutorial

Golf carts are similar to cars when it comes to creating a cake from the design. Paul first gets a load of images from google to get the various angles and dimensions, then sets about a rough sketch. It takes a few attempts, but then he’s ready to start carving.

Paul introduces a new amazing ganache using Gold Quintin chocolate from Carma. As Paul’s going to the party he wants to give this cake his best ingredients so also applies a generous coating of Baileys Irish Cream. He then applies a thin layer of dark chocolate ganache on the outside to keep everything in place.

It’s important to spend a little time at this stage smoothing the ganache in preparation for the sugarpaste. Watch how Paul diligently goes around smoothing and filling the holes as he gets ready for the sugarpaste to be added.

Time to add the trim wheel arch using a very simple, effective technique.

NOTE: Paul later discovers that when creating the wheel arch, in hindsight he should have cut the wheel arch where it meets the trim.

Covering the cake is always a challenge with an awkward shape, but watch how Paul carefully covers then massages the sugarpaste to show those key features covered below.

Using the image from google as a guide Paul creates a bespoke template to cut out the sugarpaste for the grill and headlights. With some extra shaping and some unique tips along the way the front of the cart really starts to take shape now.

Detail is always important when it comes to cars or carts. In this lesson, Paul adds the lights and finishes the grill with some very fine intricate work.

Paul creates the sporty cart wheels using simple techniques to great effect.

This is where Aston Martin meets golf cart! Paul shapes and styles the seats to give them that luxurious look, befitting an Aston Martin.

I’ll bet you wondered how Paul would make the roof? All is revealed in this lesson and it’s that classic case of once you know, it’s so easy.

Paul now creates the roof supports and covers in sugarpaste to keep the consistent sporty colour scheme going on.

Paul now creates a simple dashboard and steering wheel then adds the roof before finishing the lesson by painting the grass.

Time to add those little details that make all the difference a the ribbon, number plate, lights. Paul then uses some poetic license by adding exhausts to an electric cart!
