Goblin Village Cake Tutorial

In this tutorial we will be looking at cake competitions!!! We will be looking at the whole process from choosing your category, rules, sketching and planning out your entry. We will be focusing mainly on modelling and creating a piece that has the wow factor, highly detailed and competition ready.

A note from Kelly:

For this cake it took 7-10 days from start to finish. But for a real competition I always take at least  2-3 months minimum for an entry this large and detailed. For competitions a huge amount of work will need to go into your entry. Remember you are getting marked on things like, is this original, does it have the WOW factor, attention to detail, difficulty, techniques used, quality of the work. So really take your time and make sure the end result is made to the absolute best of your ability. 

In the following tutorial, you will learn how to…

  • Use modelling paste/modelling chocolate
  • Make realistic arms, legs and feet
  • Focus on hand painting, not an airbrush in sight!
  • Create awesomeness of the highest order!
  • and much, much more!

Don’t forget to share your interpretations of this wonderful cake with Paul and the rest of the CakeFlix community on our Facebook group.
