Baby Boy Cake Decorating and Baking Tutorial

Paul shows us a clever way to turn a circular cake into a completely different shape. Paul then layers and then carves the cake to shape adding a layer of ganache all round the outside.

Paul starts off by smoothing over the ganache with a brush and some warm water. Then it’s onto covering the cake in a large piece of white sugarpaste. Here we see an interesting way to cover and texture the board with the help of some edible dust.

In this lesson, Paul adds the jumper to the little baby boys body with the help of a lovely texture matt.

In this lesson, Paul uses modelling paste and then wraps it in sugarpaste to create the legs and then helps keep them in place with a bamboo stick until they set.

Here, Paul rolls out large sausages of sugarpaste to create the arms and then little balls of sugarpaste to create the hands. He brings the shape of the gloves out using PME modelling tools.
