Satin Chocolate Rose Cake Decorating and Baking Tutorial

Paul takes us through the whole cake design process from beginning to end, complete with hand drawings and detailed explanations.

Paul has ganached the cakes and then adds a second layer of ganache to the bottom tier. He focuses on the sides to create a forest floor type of effect.

In this lesson, Paul gets the lovely edible dusts out and paints the cakes using different brushes to get various textures.

Paul stacks the cakes, which is a little easier than normal as dummies are lighter… but disaster strikes! Watch to find out.

In this lesson, Paul demonstrates how to make chocolate roses using modelling chocolate.

Paul now begins to add the roses to the cake using spaghetti to secure them, and then builds up by adding additional petals.

Paul adds the rest of the roses and builds them up with the extra petals to give nice big luscious flowers.

Paul mixes up some beautiful lustres to create gorgeous tones, which he paints on to the roses – giving them stunning textures.

In this lesson, Paul shows us how to create beautiful piped chocolate leaves and ferns.

Paul finishes it all off by painting the piped leaves, once they have firmed up a little.
