Welcome to the Cake Decorators Q&A

Hi all, I need advice in how to cover a number 2 cake in sugarpaste? I’ve looked online and there’s not much help… I’m worried it’s going to be a nightmare and crack all over the place.. If anyone has any tips I’d be very greatful xx

Hello Gemgem1981

There’s a guide here http://veenaartofcakes.blogspot.co.uk/2012/01/number-cakes-one-two-or-twelve-12-or-12.html Keep scrolling down until you get to the covering bit and read the instructions as you go along. Hope it helps. If I find anything better I’ll post.

Hiya, if you watch the guitar tutorial the lesson where Paul covers the body of the guitar with sugarpaste will give you a good idea of how to do it. In particular, watch how he feeds the sugarpaste into the internal corners as that’s where it’s most likely to tear!
