Tomorrow I begin my 5 day cake decorating course at Paul Bradford’s Sugarcraft School. I am so excited to learn more about creating special celebration cakes.
I tackled my first celebration cake at Christmas just past, and since then I am pleased with what I have achieved, though am keen to improve my technique, and learn how to create a truly professional finish.
I have not done much modelling up to this point, so for Father’s Day I decided to bake a celebration cake with a little teddy bear topper.
I used Paul Bradford’s Teddy Bear Tutorial to guide me through my first attempt.
This was really quick and easy to create, and definitely one I know I will use time and time again.
I used a little strip of florist paste wrapped around 2 cocktail sticks to create a little banner and used an edible ink pen to write the message.
This post is dedicated to two wonderful Fathers; Alan, my Father, and to Alastair, my Father-In-Law.
Ali, the cake tasted as good as it looked! Many thanks. Alastair
