Oh... But there's more....Hats Off to SCOLA Learners

On the novelty cake course I taught learners how to make baseball caps, where they were taught how to carve and sculpt.  The caps were made out Madeira cake and crumb coated with buttercream.  Some of the students were very imaginative.

Here is their offering

Model Students at SCOLA (Sutton College of Learner Adults).

 Learners at SCOLA are on the Novelty cakes course where they are taught how to make lifesize handbags, shoes, baseball caps as well as undertake a little bit of modelling.  The task set was to make a standing model figure out of 50/50 which is harder than making a "person" sitting down on a cake.  See how they got on...I think they rose to the challenge brilliantly.

If you can't buy the real thing then bake it!!!! A lovely effort by Steve, a student at CALAT, this was his personal project and apart from diamonds, I would settle as this being a girl's best friend.

Skateboard Cake

A rather impressive skateboard cake as created by Irene. Irene kindly tells us how she made it and says;

Making the cake.
I used an oblong and round cake. Cut the round cake in half and placed it at the ends of the oblong. I then cut a small piece from each side of the oblong to give the indented look. The cake is sponge so I first covered it with buttercream then fondant. My nephew wanted it to be a replica of his own skateboard so I used a template of the design on his skateboard to cut the monsters out  the wheels are also fondant and I used a wooden stick covered in foil for the wheel bar. 

Fantastic effort and well done - it's so much like the picture on the right hand side.
