Highlights
Here, we’ve carefully selected the key parts from the entire tutorial and condensed it into an 10 min long video. More than enough to get you started without taking too much time.
1. Making the rabbit
Paul starts off by shaping a cute little rabbit using modelling chocolate. Once you’ve put it all together, make sure the chocolate is completely set before moving on to covering it.
2. Covering the rabbit’s body pt 1
Paul uses ivory sugarpaste rolled out to around 2mm and covers the body. He adds a second layer to form a coat for the rabbit.
3. Covering the rabbit’s body pt 2
Paul covers the arms and adds some cute little details to the coat.
4. Covering the rabbit’s body pt 3
In this lesson Paul covers the ears and adds a little more detail to the coat.
5. Texturing the rabbit pt 1
Paul adds texture to the rabbit using a dresden tool to get a nice fur effect.
6. Texturing the rabbit pt 2
Paul finishes texturing the rabbit and finishing off the ears. Then he adds the fence and bits of long grass.

8. Painting the cake pt 1
Paul starts off with a lovely light blue shade and dabs the brush around to get a wonderful light texture.
9. Painting the cake pt 2
Here Paul finishes off painting the fence by adding nice grey tones to add character. He also adds a touch of colour to the flowers.
