1. Shaping the cake

Paul discusses the design then explains that the bed shape isn’t a cake size that most people would bake so Paul talks through how he uses the cake he has to get the shape. He then carves to shape.

4. Carving the rocket nose

Paul considers a number of options before going for a carved polystyrene cylinder. It’s a messy job and of course non-edible so you can always go for rice krispie treats.
