1. Stacking the cakes

In the first lesson of Part 2,  we see Paul finishing the stand by adding some clever pieces of metal that will hold the cakes in position so we don’t need to worry about the stand collapsing.

2. Making it all neat

In this lesson, Paul stacks the last of our handbag cakes onto the plate. He then begins to hide the plates by covering the bottom of the handbags with sugarpaste.

3. Making the decorations

This is when Paul starts to fall in love with the cake again and what a difference the handles make! Paul then combines some lovely moulds to make modern feeling flowers to decorate the cake.
