Easy to Make Models Cake Decorating and Baking Tutorial

Paul starts by explaining the cake size he uses for this demo. However, I’m sure that you are all using these models for your own designs, but if not, it’s a 6” square cake.

These models are billed as easy and they really are. Watch how Paul quickly rolls out the legs and adds simple slippers and a skirt.

In quick time Paul creates the body, cardigan and arms, before joining the body to the legs on the bench.

Using different techniques, Paul creates the legs, body and arms for Grandpa. He didn’t take kindly to David’s joke about Grandpa’s tank-top liking like an old man’s Spider-man outfit!

Getting the size right is very important so watch how Paul goes back and forward until he gets the size just right. He then adds the eyes and nose with just enough detail to give Grandpa some character.

Paul now adds the ears, hair and moustache to finish off and gives a great little technique in adding the beard.

In this lesson Paul creates all of Grandma’s head in one go. Lots of little, simple steps, but still an overall good finish.

With standing models there’s a bit more to think about, but Paul always has a solution. Watch how he creates the standing legs, Spanish style skirt and the cute little shoes.

Moving on Paul begins to work on the Dad’s legs and shows you how to make some simple and effective trainers.

Mum gets a shaped torso before adding the arms, which are placed gently on Grandpa.

Time to finish mum by adding the head, hair and facial features.

Paul repeats many of the same processes for making Dad as shown in the previous lessons, just giving them a masculine twist.

Paul opts for a colourful, frilly yellow dress and top to bring the little girl to life. It’s then a case of copying the head from the previous models before Paul comes back to finish by adding the hair.

This is the easiest model of all where Paul used very basic techniques. However, he was still able to get a good result in a very short period of time.
