Can I make a sculpted vase/jug cake from scratch in less than 2 hours? Yes.... yes I can!!
Obviously it's not quite client standard but it wouldn't have taken a whole lot longer to get it to that point!
Why I hear you ask??
A couple of months ago my lovely friends Dawn Butler ~ Dinkydoodle |NOVELTY CAKE CONFIDENCE COACH Suzanne Esper | Wafer Paper & Sugar Flower Tutor and Laura Lane and I put together a comprehensive class on how to make 'the most fabulous vase' from baking awesome cakes with Laura, sculpting the shape from scratch using one of her cake kits with Dawn, painting a pretty floral design with me and making some beautiful sugar flowers with Suzy!
As part of the class Suzy, Laura and me decided to do a 'vase off' to prove that by watching the tutorial anyone could easily carve a vase cake (even those of us who only make tiered wedding cakes!!)
I used brilliant kit to create the stable foot at the bottom of my jug and sculpted the rest out of cake and ganache!
The flowers are some of my edible prints as sadly I didn't have time to get my paintbrushes out!!
Its not too late to sign up for the course - you can find a link in my stories!
