No reels, no carousels, just a single photo of a gorgeous cake!

This simple and beautiful cake was for Francesca’s 16th birthday last year. And it’s one of my favourite colours Colourmill Studio dusk. Colourmill oil based food colours are my favourite when colouring buttercream as they mix so easily.

I need your help!!

I’m finally putting the finishing touches to my first tutorial and I’d really like a few volunteers to test it out. Basically I want to check that my instructions make sense!!

I’ll send you a kit with the instructions and some modelling paste and all I ask is that you send me some feedback and perhaps a few photos.

If you’d like to help me out, then email me [email protected] and I’ll be in touch.

Thanks!

If you’ve never used modelling paste, before you start creating you must do this…have a play!!
Give the icing a good knead, make balls, sausages, pears, worms. Then roll it all up and do it again until you feel confident with the feel of the paste.

Swipe for product details and a top tip!!

Dylan celebrated his birthday with a Geometry Dash Tidal Wave cake (it’s a computer game - I had to google it too 😂) I included tiny details like his headphones, mouse and even a tiny slice of his birthday cake!

Most of the time I use Renshaw’s flower and modelling paste or a supermarket brand - Sainsbury’s and Morrisons are good. They all cost about £3 for 250g pack and they’re great for simple models, small flowers and leaves and number toppers.

If I’m making a more intricate model then Saracino pasta model is perfect. It’s smoother, more elastic and takes longer to dry so you have more time to create the finer details. You can get it from Amazon and it’s about £5 for 250g.

Let me know if there’s a different brand that you love!
