Welcome to the Cake Decorators Q&A

Hi,

I was hoping to make the lion face cake in the next week or so. I was wondering if the ingredients and tool lists will be added to the video any time soon as I’m not sure how much chocolate sugar paste i require and how much butter cream and icing for the face I would.

Any help would be much appreciated,

Thanks
Samera

Hi Samera

I can help you with approximate quantities, you will need:

10″ sponge cake of your choice
1.5 k chocolate fondant
500 g teddy bear brown fondant
40 g black fondant
40 g white fondant
small amount red fondant for the tongue
Glaze spray (optional)
pasta for support

Lustre colours
Claret wine
duskey lilac
sherry
gold
rose dust for blush

Tools

Small knife
bone tool
ball tool
dresden tool
veining tool
selection fluted oval cutters
selection round cutters
number 6 brush

You will also need ribbon enough for the 14″ board.

Hope this helps.

I forgot the butter cream. I should think 2 quantities butter cream of your choice or follow Paul’s tutorial in the free sections. Sorry ’bout that!

Thank you so much for getting back to me so quickly! its very much appreciated.

I’ll give the cake a try and see how I get on,

Samera

Thanks Madeitwithlove.

Paul’s taking the 5 Day Wedding course this week, but will make sure that the tools and ingredients are published by the weekend (9th December).

Kind regards
