12. Pro lesson

In this lesson, Paul shares some insider information about the cost to make this cake, as well as pricing, portions and other vital information for any professional cake designer.

Paul introduces us to his drop dead gorgeous Satin Chocolate Rose cake – a tasty design that’s almost too good to eat, complete with edible roses.
This cake boasts pure wow factor, and is the perfect show-stopping celebration cake for a wedding or special occasion. To complement the design you could use a tree trunk as the stand and add some real flowers to the base.
One of the best things about this design, is its flexibility. You could switch up the colours by colouring the ganache or changing the type of flower or adding fruit.
In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to work and texture with ganache, make edible roses with modelling chocolate, work with lustres and so much more! This cake is perfect for an intermediate cake designer or a beginner looking for a new challenge, and it’s a fabulous design to add to your collection.
