Summertime Sweet Stack Cake Decorating and Baking Tutorial

Raewyn starts off by showing us how to create the structure that will hold it all together and it requires very little DIY skills you will be pleased to know. She then goes on to prepare the cake which will sit at the bottom of the design.

In this lesson, Raewyn works on getting nice sharp corners with the ganache and focuses mainly on where the slice has been cut so that when covered it looks as realistic as possible.

Raewyn finishes off the ganaching of the cake using hot water and a palette knife as well as a brush to get a nice smooth finish before covering it sugarpaste.

Raewyn covers the cake making sure to get sharp edges where the wedge of cake is cut, so there’s good use made of acetate smoothers.

Raewyn now carves to create the cupcake which will sit further up the stacked design. She creates it in two parts and will then cover it and put it together on the rod.

In this lesson, Raewyn covers the carved cakes in ganache and then gets them nice and smooth using acetate smoothers.

Raewyn now covers both parts of the cupcake making sure it has a nice smooth finish again using acetate smoothers.

Raewyn now shows us a quick and easy way to cover the polystyrene sphere while it is placed over the rod.

In this lesson Raewyn shows us how to make an ice cream cone using rice krispie treats covered in dark chocolate ganache.

Raewyn starts to paint the various pieces of fruit using edible paints mixed with lemon extract.

Raewyn moves on to turning the large cake into a cherry pie using lovely yellows, browns and reds.

Raewyn finishes off the pie by adding a pie crust and then painting it in a lovely work yellow tone. She then covers the ice cream cone using an impression mat, which helps give the texture of an ice cream cone.

In this lesson, Raewyn assembles the cake and adds some of the final pieces of fruit to complete the design.
