Highlights
Highlights from the geometric wedding cake course.
1. Explaining the design
Natalie starts with the tiers all covered, but in this lesson she explains the tiers, design and colours that she will be using on this course.
NOTE: If you need guidance on stacking or covering double barrelled cakes, please watch Paul’s COVERING A DOUBLE BARRELLED CAKE course.
2. Making the rose
This design is centred around the beautiful roses. Watch how Natalie brings these amazing roses together using her trusted Rapid Rose cutters. They ensure a neat finish and in a fraction of the time that would be taken if making them by hand.
3. Making the leaves
Natalie hand carves the leaves then adds the wires before shaping. Of course, you can use a leaf cutter if you wish, but hand carving gives a more authentic look.
4. Making the buds
Using a simple, but effective, technique Natalie now creates the buds and secures them firmly to the 28g white wires. It’s just then a case of repeating the process to create around buds. Always better to have too many!
5. Dusting the flowers
Natalie now begins to dust her flowers.
6. Geometric design
After creating an amazing antique gold/copper colour Natalie then starts to cut even strips to make up the geometric pattern. Natalie then places the strips to create her own unique pattern. You can choose to follow Natalie’s pattern or feel free to create your own.
NOTE: The cakes are stacked at this stage. If you need some guidance please watch Paul’s STACKING CAKES course.
7. Arranging the roses
This is where the cake really comes to life and all the hard work pays off, when you start to put the roses, petals and buds together. Look at the detail and time Natalie takes to get the positions just right, which is worth the effort when you see the finished design.
