Little Wolf Cake Decorating and Baking Tutorial

Rose shows us how to make the internal structure without using any wood so no messy wood shaves in your kitchen! Always good news. Rose has already drilled the holes but fear not as all is explained.

In this lesson, Rose places and stacks the cake in and around the structure. As no one will be eating this cake Rose doesn’t layer or fill the cake but of course you can fill it with buttercream, ganache or whichever filling you would like.

So we see here that it’s all about little bits at a time. Not cutting huge sections off in one foul swoop just to be fast, but small considered cuts. Keep spinning the cake around and making sure it’s the same either side.

So this is a much simpler bit of carving as the head will be built up with sugarpaste.
