Highlights
Highlights from the country wedding cake course.
1. Airbrushing the hill effect
Tracey starts off by showing this really cool airbrushing technique to achieve the rolling hills effect. Using just some paper and an airbrush it’s amazing how such a simple technique, achieves such great results.
If you need help with stacking and covering tall cakes see the link below:
2. Covering the board - Toilet seat method!
The name says it all! Watch how Tracey neatly covers the board to great effect with minimum waste.
3. Adding the church
Using google clipart for inspiration, Tracey finds a church design to fit the theme of the cake. She then explains how to create the shape out of sugarpaste then adds to the cake.
4. Village detail
No country wedding cake can be complete without blue sky, hills and trees! Tracey now starts to build up the scene by adding some additional scene setting decorations.
5. Bunting, grass and flowers
Our village scene starts to take shape as Tracey adds the bunting, grass and flowers. You can add as many or few as you like, but strategically placed, they have a great effect.
6. Making the models heads
This lesson is full of useful hints and tips to ensure you get smoothly covered heads that will retain their shape. Tracey then explains how to decorate differing faces to achieve a set of models heads all ready to go.
7. Making the groom
Tracey uses quick, simple techniques to create the groom. Don’t worry, he won’t be left bald as the hair will be added later.
8. Making the Bride
Again, some fairly simple, but very effective techniques to create our cartoon bride.
9. Flower girl
No wedding is complete without a flower girl, but Tracey goes one better and makes two. This really gives the cake a very weddingful theme.
10. Adding the hair
This is where the bride and groom get their hair doos! You have poetic license, but Tracey gives a couple of examples to make our bride and groom complete.
