Welcome to the Cake Decorators Q&A

how much buttercream icing is needed for the teddy bear cake, would rather make it all at once rather than have to colour more

Hello winnie

You need 1.5k buttercream made from 500g butter and 1k of icing sugar. If you look here http://www.cakeflix.com/online-cake-decorating-courses/teddy-bear-cake#ingredients, you’ll see the amount in the ingredients tab. Paul also uses ganache, the recipe which you will find here http://www.cakeflix.com/online-cake-decorating-courses/chocolate-ganache. If you’re using ganache to fill and crumb coat teddy you might need half that amount again. Hope this helps.

Thanks MIWL, I never looked at the ingredients doh!! Ive ganached it as per Paul’s recipe so I can get on and do the buttercream, thanks again.
