Although we have a number of car cake tutorials on the site until now there hadn't been anything for the mechanics who keep them on the road. So, here it is! A tutorial that tackles 2 major skills...making a 3D tyre and making a sitting sugar model. What more could you ask for?
This design is perfect for a birthday or perhaps something for your local garage or mechanic after a job well done. The techniques learned there are endless potential designs. A fun cake that will be sure to bring a smile to anyone's face and have the guests asking...'how did they do that?'
Follow this tutorial to pick up some new skills and techniques, which include creating a stand to support a standing circular cake, working with ganache, creating a realistic tyre, modelling work, edible dust work and lot's more. Perfect for an intermediate cake designer or for a beginner looking for a challenge.
We'd love to see your take on the Tyre 'n' Mechanic - so make sure you share your photos with us on our Facebook page.
