Highlights
Hand picked highlights from this tutorial!
1. ganaching
Paul begins by levelling the cake then applies the first coat of ganache.
2. white chocolate ganache
In this lesson Paul adds the second layer of ganache to the sides and top of the cake then gets rid of any blemishes and imperfections with hot water and a pallet knife in preparation for covering it with sugarpaste.
3. covering the cake
Paul now covers the cake using sugarpaste then smooths it off to give it a nice, clean finish.
4. making the head pt 1
Now that the cake is ready we’re moving on to the sculpting of Phil’s head!
5. making the head pt 2
Time to get technical as Paul sculpts the more intricate facial features.
6. sculpting the face
Now that the facial structure had been made, Paul covers the face with modelling paste then uses his PME tools to bring out the facial features underneath.
7. eyes and teeth
So now that the head is finished we move on to the more intricate facial details starting with the eyes. Paul uses white sugarpaste for the eyes then paints the colour of the eyes on with a very fine paintbrush. After the eyes are complete he then uses more sugarpaste for the teeth then indents the shape with the PME tools.
8. ears and eyebrows
Paul uses a great technique for creating simple and effective ears for the model. He then bring out the paintbrush this time to paint on the eyebrows, take your time and slowly build on the eyebrows to get the best result.
9. making the hair
Paul shows you a quick and easy way of making hair without having to cut out individual strands. Scissors are then used to texture the hair even more.

Omg do you have the recipe for the cake
Click on the Ingredients tab (above) and you’ll get a printable version of what you need there.
I have checked the ingredients tab for this recipe of chocolate cake and the tab just doubles up with a list of tools and equipment – I cannot see a chocolate cake ingredients and recipe.
Sorry about the mix up, that’s the Ingredients added to the list…

In the video paul says his chocolate cake is an oil based cake no butter used, have you got the recipe for it please? Only the chocolate cake recipe David has given a link to has got butter in it! Thank you in advance ?
When we had the cake shops we used an oil based pre-mix from Puratos. It was their Chocolate Satin Creme that we used, which was delicious, moist and lasted about 10 days (so long as it was kept in a cool dry environment). https://www.puratos.co.uk/en/products/satin_creme_cakemixchocolate
Thank you David
Thank you for the tutorial ☺️ I have a question: Do you not need to use dowels to support the upper tiers of cake.? Surely the weight of the cakes on top of the bottom tier would swish it.? ?X
You will need to stack the cake using dowels and cards. Here’s a lesson on stacking…. https://www.cakeflix.com/online-cake-decorating-courses/paul-covering-a-cake
