Highlights
Here we have carefully selected the key parts from the entire tutorial and condensed it into an 6 min long video. More than enough to get you started without taking too much time.
1. Preparing the cake
Paul explains the design, and gets straight into cutting and lightly carving the cake into shape.
2. Ganaching the cake
In this lesson, Paul starts ganaching the cake, using a nice thick layer of ganache with a good sized lip, to create nice sharp edges when it’s cut.
3. Preparing the base
Paul covers the bottom half in white modelling chocolate, and smooths it off with some more ganache to get rid of any lines or join marks when it’s eventually covered in sugarpaste.
4. Covering the bag pt 1
Paul creates a nice blue green hue of sugarpaste and rolls it out to size to cover the sides of the handbag.
5. Covering the bag pt 2
Paul covers the larger side of the bag and adds a leather texture to the cake. You can do this with either a texture mat or some tin foil.
6. Adding the sides
Paul opts to use pieces of sugarpaste instead of modelling chocolate for the sides of the bag which works out pretty well as you’ll see.
7. Adding the front panel
In this lesson, Paul adds a front panel to the handbag which really adds to the overall look and then gets busy with the stitching tool.
8. Adding the handle
Paul experiments a little to find the best way to create a handle that has a sense of movement. A cake box comes to the rescue.
9. Adding details
Paul adds some pieces of flower paste to the bottom of the strap to hide the spaghetti and then makes the side straps.
10. Adding bling
Paul finishes off the side straps and then uses some dusts mixed with alcohol to create some nice colours.
11. Finishing touches
Paul adds the final details to bring it all to life and of course… a little edible spray glaze.
