Lumberjack Bride and Groom Cake Decorating and Baking Tutorial

Paul demonstrates a quick and simple way to create a wood effect, by mixing two colours of sugarpaste. He also uses a Karen Davies mould to cover the side of the cake.

Paul shows a little trick to create a moss effect, using a star nozzle and a little green sugarpaste. If you don’t have this tool, fear not! Paul shows us another way we can get a similar effect.

Paul makes some cute mushroom frog stools, which really add character to the cake.

Paul uses dusts to bring the cake to life, with a mixture of Sugarflair and Sugarmill colours.

In this lesson, Paul starts on the lumberjack, making the legs and body.

Paul now gets some dusts out to paint the chequered shirt and add character to the rest of the body.

Paul shows us how to make a cute head, by using just one piece of flesh-coloured sugarpaste and a couple of modelling tools.

Paul adds the eyes and paints on facial hair with black dust.

Paul finishes off the lumberjack by adding cute little ears, and some more hair with little pieces of black sugarpaste.

Paul moves onto the bride, who’s wearing an ivory wedding dress – which makes things easier as there are less limbs to make!

Paul adds a stripe of colour to the dress to give the bride a lumberjack feel.

Paul makes the bride’s dress, which keeps things simple and acts as the body. Then all you have to make are the arms. You could always go a step further and make boots to match the groom.

Paul creates a head from one piece of sugarpaste, using the same techniques as used for the groom’s head, but with a more feminine touch.

Paul paints on the bride’s eyes using the same technique and colours as used for the grooms eyes. He then adds the head and makes some lovely little flowers for the bride’s bouquet.

Paul finishes off the bride by adding her hair, and then attaches her head to the body.
