Welcome to the Cake Decorators Q&A

Hi
I’ve been asked to make a 3d roaring lion cake or a Garfield the cat cake. I’m really stuck with regards carving the cake. Does anyone have any ideas as to where I might get some instructions.

thank you

Hi ninahashim

Not 3D but this is pretty impressive http://www.cakeflix.com/online-cake-decorating-courses/the-lions-face-cake. The dragon , dinosaur or Hamish the highland cow tutorials are good guides on how to make rice krispy heads and how to make features. If you google ‘how to make a 3D lion cake’ you will see some images there which would serve as guides too. The teddy bear, reindeer or horny devil tutorials could easily be adapted for Garfield. Just some ideas to play with, hope they help.
