Teddy bear

Hi I’m new to this site, I havn’ttried one off Paul’s cakes yet. I want to try teddy cake but little girl who wants it – hard to believe but doesn’t like chocolate. Could I coat in buttercream and also do fur in butter cream.

Hello patzyann

It could be made with buttercream. I would suggest using a firm buttercream for the crumbcoating and let it set really hard. It also helps to drive a dowel through the head to hold the structure together. I know members have used BC so it isn’t impossible. When lifting the teddy, be mindful of the ‘broken’ leg which Paul talks of in the tutorial video.
