Easter Chick – Live Cake Decorating and Baking Tutorial

Before we get started Paul goes over the design for the cake, showing the internal structure and how to put it together.

Paul uses tin foil to make the cake food safe then adds the cake to the structure in preparation for the chicks body.

Next up Paul shows how to carve and ganache a simple cake shape.

In this lesson, Paul covers the cake and uses a mat to give the chick some texture.

In this short lesson, Paul moulds the head and adds it to the body before putting on the chicks beak.

Now our Easter Chick is beginning to take shape as we move on to the wings.

In this lesson, Paul first textures the icing then shows you how to cover the board around the internal structure.

Paul now brings the Chick to life by adding colour using the airbrush.

Time to move to the more technical aspect of the Chick as we make the dungarees using sugar paste.

Time to get the airbrush out again as we give a little colour to the dungarees.

On to the final lesson, Paul finishes the chick by adding eyes and painting our chick!

Paul shares with you some other ideas that could be achieved using the techniques and skills learned in this tutorial.
