1. Sketching and carving

Golf carts are similar to cars when it comes to creating a cake from the design. Paul first gets a load of images from google to get the various angles and dimensions, then sets about a rough sketch. It takes a few attempts, but then he’s ready to start carving.

2. Ganaching

Paul introduces a new amazing ganache using Gold Quintin chocolate from Carma. As Paul’s going to the party he wants to give this cake his best ingredients so also applies a generous coating of Baileys Irish Cream. He then applies a thin layer of dark chocolate ganache on the outside to keep everything in place.

3. Smoothing the ganache

It’s important to spend a little time at this stage smoothing the ganache in preparation for the sugarpaste. Watch how Paul diligently goes around smoothing and filling the holes as he gets ready for the sugarpaste to be added.

4. Covering the trim and wheel arch

Time to add the trim wheel arch using a very simple, effective technique.

 

NOTE: Paul later discovers that when creating the wheel arch, in hindsight he should have cut the wheel arch where it meets the trim.
