Welcome to the Cake Decorators Q&A

I did like the tutorial but didn’t like the thought of pushing card into the cake for the wheel arches. Couldn’t the pieces be cut from gum paste, left to dry and then attach to the cake with supports underneath?

Hi JustJennys Cakes

I haven’t watched the tutorial properly yet however if Paul has used card in the cake, it will be food grade and safe to use and it will be much lighter than gumpaste. If you feel happier making them with gumpaste it would be better to make them well in advance so they dry really hard.

Thank you miwl. I think I would be more inclined to use gum paste and make them in well in advance to allow for drying time.
