Skill level: INTERMEDIATE

You will need:

  • A dummy or cake
  • Cake drum
  • Saracino Pasta Top (blue, tiffany, white) to cover dummy / cake and cake drum
  • Saracino Pasta Model (brown, orange, blue, green)
  • Airbrush
  • Airbrush colours (brown, black)
  • Rolling pin
  • Modelling tools
  • Smoother
  • Silicone mould shells
  • Scalpel
  • Long and short toothpicks
  • Saracino Wafer Paper 0.27
  • Water
  • Brush

Step 1

Combine the white, tiffany and blue Pasta Top and mix. Dont worry about mixing too well as we want a marble effect.

Step 2

Cover the cake board.

Step 3

To cover the dummy / cake use the coloured Pasta Top. If you need to dust the work surface with cornflour before rolling the fondant to prevent it sticking. Lightly moisten the dummy or cake using water or cake gel so that the fondant sticks.

Step 4

For the shells to the side of the cake roll small balls using three different colours. Use your ball tool to create an indent and hollow out to form the curved shape.

Step 5

Attach them randomly to the cake and board.

Step 6

For the seaweed roll long sausage shapes from two shades of green Pasta Model. Use your fingers to flatten.

Step 7

Twist them into a seaweed shape. Fix them to the cake as you wish.

Step 8

For the waves use the remaining coloured Pasta Top. Weigh out pieces of 18-30g and roll each of them to a long teardrop shape. Again this does not have to be perfect as we want to achieve a random sea look.

Step 9

From the narrow end roll into a snail shell shape.

Step 10

Bend and shape the waves randomly to give a flowing sea feel. Fix to the top and sides of the cake using a little water or edible glue.

Step 11

Using 500g brown Pasta Model model the shape of the boat. 

Step 12

Use your scalpel to cut out a rectangle shape for the hollowed out deck area.

Step 13

Roll thin strands of brown paste. Flatten gently and cut into strips to attach to the back of the deck area. We want to achieve a wooden plank effect.

Step 14

Use your Dresden tool to apply a wood look texture to the ship. 

Step 15

Roll out a 3cm wide strip of brown Pasta Model. Use a sharp knife to form a turret shape across the top.

Step 16

Using a little water fix to the bow and stern of the ship cutting the piece to the length you need. Using a ball tool make indentations in the front for the port holes.

Step 17

For the cannon shutters shape 8 small squares and fix them to the sides of the ship pressing with point shapers.

Step 18

Roll a 3cm long sausage shape and cut into two. Fix vertically on the back end of the ship. Roll a thinner sausage shape and fix over the two vertical pieces.

Step 19

For the mast pads roll 1.5cm long sausage shape and divide into three equal parts. Roll a thin strip and fix around the top of each mast base. Fix the mast bases to the front, middle and back as shown.

Step 20

For the two front handrails roll a 1cm diameter sausage shape 3cm long and cut in half fix to the deck as shown. Roll a thinner piece and divide into two and stick to the top of each post to form the handrail.

Step 21

For the steering wheel support roll a 3cm long sausage shape slightly narrower at the top end. Mark 3 grooves around it. Fix between the handrails.

Step 22

Using a thin line of rolled paste form a round steering wheel.

Step 23

Add 8 small lengths of thin brown paste to the wheel meeting in the centre. Use a sharp modelling tool to mark small holes at the joining points.

Step 24

Attach the wheel to the upright column.

Step 25

Work your brown paste until it is soft. Cover three wooden skewers with the paste. 

Step 26

Insert each mast into the three bases we fixed earlier.

Step 27

Now prepare the horizontal mast pieces. Cover lengths of wooden skewer and toothpick with the soft brown paste. For this ship I have used 7 mast pieces.

Step 28

Using a little water or edible glue fix each horizontal member to the vertical mast. Roll or extrude a thin line of brown paste. Twist around to give the rope look.

Step 29

Using an airbrush spray with a dark brown. We want to achieve a shipwrecked derelict look.

Step 30

For the sails we need to rip pieces of 0.27 wafer paper to give a torn rough look. Use your airbrush to spray both sides black.

Step 31

Using a little water or edible gluse fix the sails to the masts randomly. We want to achieve a ripped, ghostly, random look. 

Step 32

Place the ship on the cake so that it sits against the waves. If the ship is not sitting well use a little spare paste underneath were it is not seen.

Step 33

To give added dimension and character to the cake add shells. Mix orange and brown pasta model to give a marble effect. 

Step 34

Use a shell mould to make as many pieces as you want for the look of your cake.

Step 35

Add to the look by fixing a few random white ‘bubbles’.

Step 36

AHOY!! We are ready to set sail.

Saracino powder colour: orange, white, yellow, light skin tone, green, pink, red, brown and black  

Step 1

Prepare your ingredients.

Step 2

Whisk the eggs until fluffy then add the sugar and vanilla food flavouring. Mix the dry ingredients seperately. Add them to the wet ingredients and mix briefly. Spread the mixture in a flat baking tray lined with baking paper (my tray is 43cm x 35cm). Place in an oven preheated to 180°C. Bake for 15-17 minutes.

Step 3

Whisk the mascarpone cream, the cream and the sugar together then add the hazelnut food flavouring.

Step 4

For the ganache add the chocolate drops to hot cream and mix well.

Step 5

Cut four 16cm diameter circles from the cake when cooled.

Step 6

Stack the cake layered with the mascarpone cream. From the left over sponge you can add roots on one side and cut a few pieces to add on top of the cake to form a hole. Coat the outside with the ganache (it does not need to be perfect as it will look more natural if it is not).

Step 7

Roll enough Saracino brown Pasta Top to cover the cake. Add some more paste randomly to a few places and use your modelling tool to add texture so it looks like bark. Cover the cake. 

Step 8

For the bark of the log tear wafer paper into thin long strips. Mix brown powder colour with clear alcohol and paint the strips brown.

Step 9

Use the same process to add black to the bark to give a two tone effect. This stage can be messy so you can use gloves.

Step 10

Add the wafer paper strips to the cake when they are still wet as they will easily stick.

Step 11

Use a soft large brush and geeen powder colour to add moss shades. 

Step 12

The final result of the bark texture should look as shown.

Step 13

Draw a few free hand leaves onto wafer paper.

Step 14

Cut out the leaves. Mix orange, yellow, red and brown powder colour with clear alcohol and paint the leaves starting with the lighter colours.

Step 15

Use your Dresden tool to add lines to the leaves.

Step 16

Use your ball tool to curve the leaves on a foam mat.

Step 17

Mix together equal parts of Pasta Scultura and white Pasta Top for the mushrooms and squirrel modelling.

Step 18

Model mushroom stems and caps and use a new clean rough dishwashing sponge to add texture.

Step 19

Insert a toothpick in one of the mushrooms so we can fix it in front of the squirrel.

Step 20

Use a soft brush and light skin tone, orange and brown powder colours to dust the mushrooms.

Step 21

Using the paste mixture model the shape of the squirrel with your hands. The squirrel needs to be to the right proportions to the hole in the top of our cake. 

Step 22

Use your Dresden tool to mark the nose and the mouth.

Step 23

Use the Dresden tool to form ete sockets. Push up to form the eye brow area.

Step 24

Make sure the eyesockets are at the same position on both sides of the head.

Step 25

Roll two equal size balls for the eyes and fix them in the sockets. Define the line over the eyes with your Dresden tool.

Step 26

Use the sharp end of the Dresden tool to add a fur texture. 

Step 27

Make two triangles for the ears and blend them to the head with your Dresden tool.

Step 28

Use scissors and Dresden tool to cut and add the fur texture to the ears.

Step 29

For the arms roll a sausage shape and cut it in half.

Step 30

Fix the arms to the body and use scissors to cut the fingers.

Step 31

Add the squirrel to the cake to check it is the correct size and use tweezers to shape the fingers.

Step 32

Your squirrel should look like this.

Step 33

Remove the squirrel and place on a work board. Dust the squirrel with light skin tone powder colour (always start with the lighter colours and add little by little).

Step 34

Dust the squirrel with orange powder colour.

Step 35

Dust with brown powder colour.

Step 36

Dust with red powder colour and use pink for the nose.

Step 37

Dust the bottom of the body, the ends of the paws and the tips of the ears with the black powder colour. 

Step 38

Mix black powder colour with clear alcohol and paint the eyes using a fine brush. 

Step 39

Add all the elements to the cake – put the biscuits crumbs on the base around the log, fix the squirrel in the hole on the log, fix two mushrooms on the base and the one with the toothpick in front of the squirrel and leaves on the base.

  • Paintbrushes

  • 6mm threaded rod 9inch long, 2 nuts and washers

Step 1

Start by making the head. Take some Saracino skin tone modelling paste and roll it into an egg shape. You can use a small piece of paste to support the head while you work. Using a ball tool, make 2 eye sockets. Soften the edges with a Dresden tool.

Step 2

Make an indent with the Dresden tool for the top of the nose.  With your fingers squeeze paste together to shape the nose.

Step 3

Using your Dresden tool form the nostrils and shape the details for the nose.

Step 4

With your fingers push up to form the cheeks and blend them in using the Dresden tool.

Step 5

Cut a line to create the mouth with a craft knife.

Step 6

With the Dresden tool shape the bottom lip.

Step 7

Shape the top lip. Add a little more paste if needed. Add extra details to the face around the cheeks and mouth to your desired effect.

Step 8

Use your fingers to pinch and shape to bring out the chin.

Step 9

Make 2 small balls of skin tone modelling paste and place in the eye sockets.

Step 10

Blend the eye into the socket. Use a Dresden tool to shape the eyebrow area.

Step 11

Using the craft knife, cut to form the eyelid.

Step 12

Blend in the bottom lid, then repeat for the second eye.

Step 13

With the Dresden tool shape in high eyebrows.

Step 14

Cut a wooden skewer down to around 10 inches in length. From the top measure down roughly 2 1/2 inches. Wrap a length of armature wire around as tight as you can. Add a good amount of hot glue to keep it in place.

Step 15

Add edible glue to the skewer and wrap skin tone modelling paste around, blending in joints with your fingers.

Step 16

Mould the neck, shoulders and breasts into shape with your fingers and the Dresden tool, adding all the details as shown. You can add and blend more paste if needed. Don’t worry about the size of the waist at this time.

Step 17

Shape skin tone modelling paste into a baseball bat shape. At the thin end flatten into a spoon shape. Using small scissors or a knife cut to form fingers.

Step 18

With your fingers gently roll each of the fingers into shape, then use the Dresden tool to add details.

Step 19

Cut the arm wires to roughly 3 inches in length and bend the wires back from the shoulders. Cover the wires in glue and feed the arms up over the wire. Blend at the shoulders. The arms will be covered so don’t worry about any imperfections.

Step 20

With the drum board, drill a 6mm hole off center. Put the threaded rod in and fix with nuts and washers, tighten with a spanner.

Step 21

Cover the threaded rod with modelling chocolate or alternatively cover with a straw.

Step 22

Stack cake using your filling of choice, carve the cake into a round shell shape.

Step 23

With the crumbs from the carving mixed with ganache make a cake pop mixture. I like to call this ‘cake putty’. Form the swirl on the side of the shell. The back of the shell can be any of design you wish.

Step 24

Cover the carved cake in ganache and leave to set or chill in the fridge.

Step 25

Using a marshmallow and rice krispie mix, make the shape of a duck body with a hump on its back. Add a skewer while it’s cooling. Alternatively this piece can be made of cake if you wish.

When cooled, stick to the cake with ganache and cover with ganache. Leave to set.

Step 26

Blend together equal amounts of modelling chocolate and white pasta top.

If too hard, place in the microwave for a few seconds to soften it then knead into a soft pliable paste.

Step 27

Roll out and cover the cake, you can cover it in two pieces if this makes it easier. Smooth into the swirl of the shell, gently manipulate the paste into all the crevices with your fingers. 

Don’t worry about the finish on the duck shaped body as it will be covered.

Step 28

Using a Dresden tool gently shape in the swirl. 

Step 29

Then make the details on the shell body with lines and dents. Have fun with this bit.

Step 31

Mix Saracino modelling paste with red and blue gel colours. Alternatively add colouring to pre-coloured paste. Keep adding until you reach your desired colour, keep in mind the blue has to be dark.

Step 32

Cover the board with green Pasta Top. Use a hard stiff brush to give texture.

Step 33

Start painting the shell with white, brown, blue and skin tone Saracino dust colours mixed with a little water or alcohol. Start from the center with a little brown and gradually paint around the swirl using different colours.

Step 34

With the brown dust and a fine brush paint in the lines.

Step 35

To achieve the blue swirl airbrush with blue colour.

Step 36

Using the mother of pearl airbrush colour, airbrush the shell completely to give it a lovely sheen.

Step 37

Take some of the blue modelling paste and roll it out thinly, cut out circles with a frill cutter. You will need to make lots of these.  Alternatively you can use a cookie cutter.

Step 38

Using a bulbous tool, roll back and forth creating a frill.

Step 39

Starting from the tail work your way along the body fixing with water or edible glue.

Step 40

Adding each frill on top of another until you reach the front, stagger the layers up as shown. Some will be covered.

Step 41

With some of the light blue Saracino modelling paste roll out and cut out a large circle, pinch at one end and make some folds. Cover the hump up into the shell.

Step 42

Take your modelled torso and with a little edible glue fix it on the cake. If needed trim the waist to fit and add a little paste to fill and blend the joint.

Step 43

Roll out the light blue modelling paste (not too thinly) into a large circle, cut an off centre hole and add a few creases.

Step 44

Glue to the model. Position the joint on top of the hump, blend in enhancing the pleats with a Dresden tool.

Step 45

For the back of the dress make a long frill from light blue modelling paste and roll it up.

Step 46

Roll out red modelling paste thinly and cut four fine strips for ribbons. Fold two in half and make four separate loops with the other two.

Step 47

Roll a light blue frill and fix around the bottom of the dress. Carefully fix ribbons in place with a little glue. 

Step 48

Add red and blue frills to the wrists.

Step 49

Roll out the light blue modelling paste into two fan shapes a little larger than the length of the arms. Glue to the arms adding creases and trimming off the excess. Add red ribbon strips at the wrists and upper arms.

Step 50

Roll out the dark blue modelling paste and make apron shapes for the bodice front and back.

Step 51

Stick to the body with edible glue. Trim and shape to the body blending in the joints with your fingers and Dresden tool.

Step 52

Bend at the neck and cut off more excess diagonally to get the top of the neck.

Step 3

Your body and neck shape should look like this from the side.

Step 4

Cut a piece of greaseproof paper to the same diameter as your dummy.

Step 5

Place the body on the base and add a little glue or water in the back crease of the neck.

Step 6

Moisten the bamboo skewer with water. Insert it through the center of the neck and into the polystyrene base. Cut the skewer using snips so you have approximately 4cm projecting for the head.

Step 7

Step 8

Take 110g of white Pasta Model and roll a ball to create the head.

Step 9

Position the head on the skewer without adding glue.

Step 10

Use your finger to press a dent across the face in the eye location.

Step 11

Remove the head and create the wool effect on the back with our cocktail stick tool. Using a little glue or water fix the head to the neck.

Step 12

Using a 7mm diameter piping nozzle mark the eyes.

Step 13

For the mouth and nose area mix a little light skin and pink colour Pasta Model. Roll into a ball and flatten the back face. Use a 1.8cm diameter piping nozzle to cut out the mouth and nose area. Fix to the face and add the nostrils  using a silicone pointed tool.

Use a little glue to fix the hair into place and add the wool texture. Using white Pasta Model cut two circles with the 1mm diameter piping nozzle and stick them on the black eye circles.

 

Step 23

For the ears roll a little pink and white Pasta Model. the white needs to be thicker than the pink. Use the oval plunger cutter to cut out two oval shapes from each colour.

Step 24

Fold the pink pieces at the end and cut off the excess. 

Step 25

Fix the pink to the white as shown. 

Step 26

Fix both ears using a little glue (if required you can add a small piece of cocktail stick into each ear to help secure). Using pink Pasta Model cut two circles and fix to the cheeks. 

Step 27

For the eyebrows mix white and brown Pasta Model and roll small teardrop shapes. Fix to the head. Using your 1mm diameter piping nozzle create two small white circles and fix to the pink cheeks. 

Step 28

For the flower and leaves mix a small amount of violet and light green Pasta Model with white to achieve pastel colours. Cut out the flower and small leaves. 

Step 29

Use a little glue to fix to the head. Add a small ball of yellow to the centre. 

Step 30

To form the legs roll white Pasta Model to a sausage shape as shown in the photo. Each leg will weigh approximately 13g. Bend approximately in the middle to give the shape of the leg. 

Step 31

Repeat this step for all the legs (the front legs should be slightly smaller). Create the wool texture effect on all of them. Do not add texture to the hoof area as we will paint this later.

Step 32

For the tail roll a teardrop shape of white Pasta Model. Fix to the Llama and add the wool effect. 

Step 33

For the necklace collar prepare pastel colors using Pasta Model: light blue, yellow, green, orange, pink, lilac (adding a little white paste to each colour) and fuchsia which does not need white adding. Roll the light blue paste until it forms a long thin sausage.

Step 34

Fix the light blue around the Llama’s neck. Using a ball tool create the holes where the pompoms will go.

Step 35

Take a small equal part of each colour. Roll the balls using your index finger on the palm of the hand. Glue the balls into place.

Step 36

Repeat the steps to create another neckless.

Step 37

Using the letter plunger cutters cut out the letters you would like using your required colours. Leave aside. 

Step 38

For the blanket use a large ovel cutter to cut out a thinly rolled piece of white Pasta Model. Use the same cutter to cut a thin piece of light blue paste. Use a smaller cutter to cut out the centre of the blue. Use the same smaller cutter to cut out a thin piece of pink paste and add to the centre of the blue. Cut out a circle from the centre of the pink. Use the same circle cutter to cut out a thin piece of fuchsia paste. Add the fuchsia circle to the centre of the pink.

Step 39

Fix the blanket to the Llama’s back.

Step 40

Use a silicone bow mould to make a small yellow bow. Add a little corn flour to the mould to prevent the paste from sticking. Use a flower plunger cutter to make a small flower. Cut out circles and triangles using colours of your choice. 

Step 41

Add the decorations as shown using a little glue if required. 

Step 42

Attach the flower to the centre of the blanket and the bow to the back of the neck. 

Step 43

For the tassels roll light purple coloured paste thinly and cut a long 1cm wide strip. Use a scalpel to cut small strands. 

Step 44

Cut in equal lengths and roll up as shown.

Step 45

Make as many as you require. Cut off the escess paste from the end.

Step 46

Using a little glue or water fix the tassles around the edge of the blanket.

Step 47

Dilute black colour with clear alcohol. Use a small brush to paint the hoof on each leg.

Step 48

For the school bag – Roll lilac coloured Pasta Model to approximately 2cm thickness. Cut out the bag shape using a large ovel cutter.

Step 49

Using various shaped cutters and coloured Pasta Model decorate the front of the bag. Use the same colour as the bag add a rectangle shape for the front pocket. 

Step 50

For the bag zip roll purple Pasta Model thinly and cut into strips. Fix to the bag. Repeat using a thinner strip for the zip to the front pocket. For the fastener cut out two triangle shapes. Use a thin piping nozzle to add the centre circle. We will need strips cut ready for the straps to the bag.


Step 51

Use a stitching tool to add a zipper effect as shown. Fix the triangle fasteners. Add two small light blue circles to the top of the fasteners. Use a little glue to add the straps and the bag handle. 


Step 52

For the zipper and side pockets of the briefcase cut purple pasye and glue


Step 53

Using edible pens paint the eyes and lips.


Step 54

The straps should be fixed as shown. 


Step 55

To create our notebook cut a rectangle 7cm x 5cm using fuchsia Pasta Model and mark a line down the centre. Cut all the pieces and decoration needed for the book.



Step 56

Glue each of the pieces and decoration. Using the edible pens draw the lines of the page and add the text.


Step 57

For the pencil roll a small 4cm long cylinder using yellow Pasta Model and model the other parts using grey, beige, pink and fuchsia.
