Gumpaste Peony - Cake Decorating Tutorial - YouTube !!! *** *** CAKE TREND ~ Giant Cascading Rose Cake Pt 1 - CAKE STYLE - YouTube !!!
welcome to my giant rise wedding cake tutorial
we're really excited to be sharing this design with you we created it back in


and in
we were lucky enough for it to be featured in a gorgeous wedding
magazine
since then it's been copied all over the world and shared
and in this case we want to show you a beautiful hombre effect
it's really a continuation and growth at this design into something that is so
much more
so we want to couple with you had a into lock those flower petals
and really had to create something that is absolutely stunning
and what we feel is the perfect rice cake
now the best thing I'm going to date to make agile rice cake
is to stop building rice we want to do this a few days before we
assembly anti cake I'm so I generally like to stop that at the same time as I
thought my baking
that way every time I do well I yeah on these rises I can leave them for at
least six to eight hours
or even tie the knot and now a big difference if you've been looking at how
simple rise to preach utah real
and that has a lot of banging in texture in the pedals
instead with this one way going for a nice soft finish
so the major difference is that we're not buying the petals
and we're also going to be fading out Alcala and the reason why didn't buying
is that when I designed his cake I wanted it today a flower
thats of Cascade into a beautiful wedding gown
and has that raffle and the softness and so because dresses don't have to buy
into them like flowers to a
the best way to combine nice to was really to just lay off the pills nice
and soft and PUA
so the first thing we do is decide on what color
you want to have euros Bay and if you are going to do
more than on bright fade out along with me
of gonna head intake and a soft pink
and it's just the sugar flavor kala pink
and I've made four different shades did not hugely different at this point
but they will become more noticeable when you're rolling them out
the pedals get quite in and so the color actually is not as pronounced
as it is when it's right here so we're gonna start with our heaviest
am I going to do alkyne for our rise in this color
Hafiz couple appliance and then we're going to continue along down the line
so I only make for callous in the end we can have more than that as weak transfer
onto the cake
as we do that it's going to be fondant in not sugarpaste
so this is the sugar paste all the gumpaste that we use
for this rise so
we can just take a little section of it first and I'm gonna make a rose kind
so I just make it nice and supple in your hands and then rolling into a pole
using the palms of the hands and then all I do is pick it up
pinch with my index finger and thumb to make a point
use my other time to rest it on so that it doesn't get squeezed
on that aunt and we just rotating around
and that's really the easiest way
some people make them by placing them on they hand
enrolling like this but I do find that it creates a little bit unevenness
so I prefer to just eat a peach method
I K and we can allow that to dry
I V not so I've got one that I've already prepared so that we can start
working on Alliance
we're gonna need to get out of Laurel Matt all about little
out flower tools now for the sizing
I've taken
Peto set
am cutter in the roses and I'm using a lot just
3 and and as the cascades down okay quick can actually go to the first size
in the extra Lodge
rise pedals so we're gonna take a smallest
that we have its gonna roll this
out and we can adapt five pit oats I'm doing a bit of a cheat
in that I'm using I laminating shape to protect
this will come in really handy later on and as we work on the largest section of
the cake
and it just means that you can roll out a whole pile pedals tuck them away and
lost a nice and moist
site you can get them I'm from lots of little shops and
art supply places of this place is things like that
I K so we're gonna use a little bit
shortening onto a table just rubbing it in
little bit onto the top
and just pressing down and rolling and we're gonna roll it out quite
seen so as a rolling
fluid movements with your whole hand
you don't want to be chicky at all otherwise you get
indentations and it will get teeth in places
such as lifting all the time
it wants to stick with the shortening some just wanna Kate lifting it out so
it doesn't get stuck
alright so it's getting quite
in now
ninety one more role in the center
and then I'm gonna take a little bit of corn flour or cornstarch
place it down tab that inflicted over just a little bit
just so that it's not to attack you when I got a touch it and you can buff much
to the delight
so you don't see any white now and separate the laminating shaped
and the first three that we cut we're gonna hide away
India we're going to be using it in a couple of minutes it's not very long
but you can generally take things under the laminating sheets
for good
minutes or so I site that's just a little tip that helps you
to have to keep constantly rolling out
k will teach a more to look at a place that onto al blue floral mapped
always wanna keep excess
tucked away nicely tries out superfast
Tai Chi so move face
we're gonna take a large have ample tool
and just halfway on and half white of capital
really gently gonna roll around I'm holding it like
I woulda penso staying around the edge so hard for people to should be on the
blue and hop should be on
your pet ok and it just helps to soften the edges
and it gets a little bit of movement for us
now taking a chicago il and a small paintbrush
we don't want too much glue on we're gonna paint one of them completely
and the other one about three quarters at the white up
okay so make sure that we've got now one that's tried I just place it directly
down
pick it up tuck the bottom edge
in and then taking one side ruffled
all the way into the center and for the other side
over the top he don't to be in to shop at the point
it's just meant to be nice and gentle and soft
and I take the entire thing pop it down on a second one
lifted up again tucking the bottom and I just gonna kill by so these are really
gently
no pressure on the top you don't join these petals at all
really nice and soft okay so that tough first row
and because it's I on the cheap pedals and they suck really closely together
we can go ahead and put an X liar on immediately
so it a cast
do the exact same thing as we did with FAA first
just halfway on and half way of
I can't now this is where it's a little different we're gonna take
a toothpick and when we've got an even number this we want to have them the not
all cold inside why
so I'm gonna kill the right side of two of them and both sides up want
so do I chief s we talk underneath
with a toothpick pick it up slightly and she's your index finger to roll it
around
and then release it you not try to squeeze it at this point at all it's
just a gentle could with
and then just 3G toothpick out again now this one
we're gonna do them the right side and then the left side
and that just makes it a little bit more cotton style:
we don't want anything to be two angular with this because as it cascades down
the cake
we needed to flow on so we're only going to do a subtle
don't pinch it or anything to accentuate now
out clue this time it's just going down the left hand side
from about half way up down into the middle
and the reason why when opening on bodice is that we want to look like it
on filling so we don't want to attach it
with glue over the whole thing or cinch in too much
okay say taking our rise I like to work of folding I have %ah
the and of my first row take one of the ones that you've coached
Co just once back place it on
touch the bottom make sure that going the same as we did before
but now we're just gonna press and the left side l
open they were gonna take double coat
Tackett in just by a couple of millimeters
again attach the bottom and the left side
and he can roll it enhance
last one Tuckett only by about a millimeter or so
touch the bottom and then
kill it around so you pressing on all of the left side it's
and then leaving the right sides nice and open
profit up make sure that they're not gonna fall all the way back
if so you just want to keep the little press on the very tallest pot a bit
too so that it stays in otherwise this is ready to set
I'm like I said about six to eight hours at least
I or I not so we'll be ready to do affects row five when this is done
anatomy lab now respond to dry way going to move on and we're gonna get the next
size cut inactive seeks
and that's how we're gonna make five petals going around brosser gonna fight
out the color a little bit
sigh with added a touch of white to Al pink
it's not a huge change
it's not even hardly noticeable yet but
rolled out
things get a little bit ly tops I O the other thing to remember is
we've got a few more shades did go down the line
and we don't want to end up with pure white petals at the base about hiking at
the top
we want to still have a slight hint and teenage Akala
so we don't want us to fight it out too quickly
so it is rolling really fluid clout
shortening and an eighth
couple more also we do need it to be fairly thin
K so add
a little bit of a cough hour
straight that through and buffet away
and that was just prevent it from sticking
there's nothing worse than cutting our beloved days and you cannot budge them
on countertops site the bitter conflict our
now arrange them into as
too and that's because at the Y that i'm gonna kill the edges
so we're going to just pull them first so I take a poll told
halfway on halfway off again really gently
and it just helps to give a little bit amazement
think I so without to rate we're just gonna take a toothpick under
just roll the right side on me holding it back on itself
but not squeezing the next to it gonna do a double Copac
but again like F this trial when not trying to get a really shop point in
fact that she got a big space
at the top with one of these so that they not touching
and really shop because we want everything to be super soft feeling
with all about petals so
like we did with acid have three we're just going to apply clue to the bottom
left hand side and we can go ahead and do it all of them
because it does take a little bit for that to set up so I pop that on
now picking up their rice you can stop any way that you like but I just like to
start with one that's code back once
resting and you'll notice that it sits up just a little bit high out
then after this trial pressing on the left side like we can't
but leaving the right side open grab on to BW's
and this time you going to I the lab by at about a thirty taking it in
underneath by that a third gently keep a hold of it
take your third one and and the main thing is to make sure that you're
getting the bottoms to touch
and also I that you're not rising up too high
on your petals k let it back down to said he can't read this through
and a final on
and it's really that easy was gonna kill them all up and around
cinch them a little bit make sure that none of the math
falling completely if they I you wanna grab just a touch
glue onto that right side but we want to keep them Philly opens a car looks
really floppy at the moment
but when we try it we're going to use a drying mat and we get a place it in
today at and then I've taken little bits of paper towel it up just cut out
just into little squares give them a little fault
and we going to use days to help keep the shape
call their rice so you want to look at unfailing we don't want to be really
tight
rice that we just want to make sure that they're all staying nice and upright
and also that there's a space between each of them
so taiwan ones like hiya
they wanna stay fairly close so not only do we want to put this out
but we also wanna allow bit a song tucking it behind
disperse petal I'm just so that it gives a spice
between them lifting this one up
threaded through
when we can elevate it a little bit more going around
and the nice thing about Italian is that it doesn't stick
if you use add tissues or cotton buds or anything like that
the content it gets stuck onto the Chicago itself
and then you'll be left with little fuzzy be its side paper towel is really
good for not sticking
of K
that one doesn't need anything looks like it's holding really well
so we're just going to lay face as it is seeking a the pop them into the oven
I feet on you up in on a fairly light and and only for a couple of minutes
which it all
and a meeting place this entire thing in your often and
that means that you can go into another row in around three hours a psycho
otherwise you want to leave it for around I hours or even tie the knot
before
X like yeah
alright so let's have a look and say how a three-quarter roses going
so it got really nice open pay tolls because we light it
upright and just allowed it to fill all the Bach with hГґpital we've got a
really nice
open look it's very soft and you can see that even though we have
double coat some of them overall would not looking like a shop cotton rice
but looking much more softer and that's going to help us
so we gonna continue to to grow our audits
gonna do the exact same thing again I'm just remember
go down unique shade of color so we're looking at
a quite a pale pink now at this stage and we going
up a sizet to what is the largest in acid
price cut its
alright now gonna grab a roast putting up
once it's getting larger like this I liked tenet I thought to attach
some going to line it up in between to about existing petals
I laugh this what I thought I want to make sure it goes
almost to the center pressing down the left side like we always do
open it up thread
wanna be a double Kohls again making sure that's touching
has sent out and personally the left side event
but it and Phil to the next one
always making sure that you'll lining up with the two pedals
law
and making sure that you're reaching almost that middle as you go around
and Phil and just talking last one in
K and then we can kill it back seat can say
it's what's is is not usually a full rise but we are going to extend a little
past these
so you want this to try can't so there's a couple of ways that you can do it
you can see the place it directly into hiya and stuff
it straight away or if its seeming like it's really humid day in its title
really floppy
what you can do he's rested on to hear and then come back in about two hours
when it has just added to sit just need to get a little bit more of them
and then he contended I about and allow it to try
and that way these pills white full chief %uh back so just be mindful of
what the temperature is like and what he needed his like
anything made to because these pedals have been done all the way up here
it's actually not a high spot the hotspot he is still lower petals and if
they've tried nicely
they can absorb the pressure other resting he abdominal out is to die for a
couple that was
and then I'll show you how much fun it I thought that allow it to try for the
rest to the time
alright to now we're going to grab at Las color that with pre-made up
so if I did a little bit more white and gonna watch her again
and we're gonna roll the steps I'm why and this time I can use the first
in our oversized rice make shaken up but this could see gonna be crawling up
quite a bit this time
just moving it around
Wentzel I'm sure it doesn't want to roll out as much
just wants to move around and shortening so I just try and keep it steady and
then stop rolling out
now the set that I got I love the oversize rose petals
was actually fairly wide so what I went ahead and did
because I'm using them constantly for this particular design is I just wish
them
in itouch so that they are a little bit longer so if you have a set and they're
looking much wider
and I'll show one and not the same as a house it's just that I've given it a
quick squeeeeze
because in this design I like them to be a little elongated
so that's just a little tip but I'm done to give the right look
casserole around
now when we get into this final row we want to be really careful about a level
that we're killing back
because from now on we're not gonna be coming back anything

bring it directly onto the cake so what
gonna do now killing
to the the right but I'm not doing a really severe it's not going away into
it
it's just very slightest age
and again with at Davos release at all
we don't want to be obvious way with stopped
allied try this and why we've started on the cake okay
have got all of that only going to take now full rise because it is already
was classed as a full gratis but we're good now going to apply
out oversized so turning it over again same as always
lineup between to pay tolls and make sure that you going all the way
into the very sent us this time pressing on the left side
then just on fill the right take one about doubles
again aligning it up both with
the two underneath and going all the way into the scent of many can call them
back
on the pressing down the left side
without glue as always however
stepped in a little bit much mikhail putting down
one more to go
specially I'm feel that if it's in the white because they sickening saw a much
larger
all straight back over the top so if they've
joined all-white into the center now only on killing me can say they've very
very floppy
so what we gonna do is you can use that same technique
unless allowing it to dry on he out the only difference
is I'm gonna take some of these that I haven't folded
and just prop them up a little bit
so separating between H about pedals just so that they don't dry
attached to each other tank and we can't allow this to drive for only about an
hour or two
before we flip all about and allow to dry
you now follow drying pad we just want to keep this separation
on Kauai
site and leave it as it is up to today and then we'll be ready to crab cake
and stop cascading all those pedals
so now that I'm Rose is complete well can have a little bit of a look and see
what we were trying to achieve with this
so what we were looking for is really nice open and full pay tolls
had they look like that I'm filling and that will help us to line up
and next lie is that going on to the cake
we're also looking for them to be fairly soft to have a little bit of movement
but not a lot of folding back because from now on we're not going to be using
that
has a technique at all so we can keep this hiya
we've got out 3t cake that we have already cut field cannot
and covet with the cunt gone for a PIL PIL white
and we've also print onto an iced cake board
now if any of that and needs a quick recap for you always wanna go over it
and that's what I wedding cake foundations course is all about
he's just getting that flawless blank canvas to work on my dad designs
I'm so check that if the name to you otherwise a next step
is to take some about sugarpaste gumpaste
that we've got in Hampi Inc and makes it in
with some white fondant now when we doing
the cascading pay tolls we doing it slightly differently
and we're going to be working with my sleeve fondant and the reason for that
his side that it reminds a little bit and
them %uh throughout this process it doesn't take this long to dry
so that the shapes that we put it in it was static out we don't want to be a
soft
as what we had without gum paste even though it is technically firma
it takes a longer time period to them up so this is
class color that we are working with was quite a pale pink
we're going to need to go another four shots
so I'll you can say without darkest that this is where we began
and we basically need to have that much variation again
I the formal callous we don't need to make a huge amount
we've got the athlete is for how many you can aid
in each of these four all documented for you in the course materials
that basically for gonna start dividing up how white
to love the colors
made significantly more what fondant
than the other yes so we're going into
a little bit more in iris Tai Chi
and then we'll at some can't and so we can take some about think that we hadn't
and just start combining it with our white
and just needing that in the main thing
with this is just to make sure that we don't end up at peel what
still have a slight teenage at the end
so up a list calories not gonna be shine on the top of the cake
at all it's just going to be in the lower section
that we still want to make sure that every time some color
now what we doing this you'll notice that
every time we did a new layer on the rise we dropped the color damn
where is this time we're only going to be doing four different colors
throughout the entire cake and that's just so that we can have it
so don't bleed out at the Rose fairly quickly
and we still want that center to be the prominent feature
and the other ones to look like this love just cascading
so we want the color loss have to happen
a little bit more slowly as we work our way down
thing you notice that this combined
had gum paste and find it feels a little bit sticky a
then just the regular complex that we've been using an app pink
there's no reason why can't combine these two
it's really no different adding a touch a ty los into
I found which we do a lot of the time without the grains and
and things like that so I it's fine for the two of them to go to get %uh
mankind so we've got our
third kala might just pinch a little bit of this
so that after final set of color is not appeal want
that's basically all we going for that's really important that you stole days
away when you're not using them
and because I will dry out even faster than the gumpaste
effing working with because they've got the fondant so I can see now we've got a
strength of color slowly fading it's not a big difference
but just fades it apt going towards the and
so we can put this away now gumpaste
and then we're going to be working with a skull is so we'll just keep them
okay this one out and a little trick that I do is just have spiraled them
around the container
so that I know I the order but what we're working inside I don't forget what
I've got more to get up
so just find a way that works for you with a clockwise or counterclockwise
and we'll start with the first one
what pop down a little bit of corn flour cornstarch
when not using the Crisco because we actually wanted to try out a little bit
fast top
so that it will maintain the shape that we like
we are going to be protecting them in our emanating shapes so he's got some
size it's a great idea
otherwise it just means that you have to study the lightest color
get by Scott get those prone to the cake
and just makes the process a little bit longer
and your little bit more on search in
about how it's going with this you can always add an extra one
have different tack callous where the maid
think I so is still going for relatively themed
he should be reaching a point out where it's a little bit difficult to stop
looking at op you feel like it might start to take a a
like I just make sure it may have been completely
tennis around to a concise sneezy
and then wheezing exact same size which is the first one in a series an
extra-large
famous what we did on a final hot layer about raw is
and that's important because we want did today
something in common with the end to this and the start of the rest
otherwise it's a bit of a severe change
so just pressing down same as what we did before except the release
a touch easy a because they don't have the shortening
now we've worked at all of the amounts that you going to need in terms of pay
tolls
that is based on these being a
hot cake by the time that they dont if you're working with the toll it headache
or even a shorter cake
I'm you just need to adjust it a little bit if you're unsure
just make an extra half a dozen avait shite that it's better to have a little
bit too many
than not enough think I now before we went move on to the next step
which is softening love the pedals and attaching an his wanna make sure the
cleanup
Olivia work surface because we're gonna be bringing eyebrow cake
going to be working with everything all at once I'm so don't look
equip around and %uh then we would be ready to stop placing them on to the
cake *** ***
