Welcome to the Cake Decorators Q&A

Hi just made Paul’s cake which smells gorgeous !! is it better to let it cool in the tin or take it out ? Only just signed up to courses and been inspired to try paul’s designer handbag cake for a friends birthday. Love all the tutorials and Paul’s very down to earth approach, its nice to know even the professionals make mistakes !
and being able to see how to fix them.

Hi bakingqueen54

Welcome to the site! Paul, as you’ve discovered is a great tutor. He’s never afraid to learn with us too, which, in my humble opinion makes him such a stand out person.
Paul’s gorgeous moist chocolate cake is best left in the tin before unmoulding. It’s quite delicate while warm but cools down to a sturdy little number! Carve it from frozen of partially frozen to reduce crumbs.
Good luck with your handbag project and don’t forget to share pics on Paul’s facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/PaulBradfordSugarcraftSchool/
