Step 1

Prepare the paste: To the white Modelling Paste, add a small amount of the pink gel colour and a little brown colour (this way you will get Dusty pink). You will also need Skin tone, black and white paste.

For the head knead a ball and roll it with your hand.

For the eyes:

  • Using the tool with a small ball, form a half-circle for the eye sockets.
  • Using the cutter, cut out small circles from the skin tone and cut off the bottom with a knife to give a flat edge.
  • Place into the sockets of the eyes
  • Using your fingers roll two thin sausage shapes with one pointed end and fix them over the eyes, then shape and blend them with the Dresden tool to form the eye lids.

Step 2

To create the face:

  • Using skin tone paste roll a long flat sausage shape for the cheeks and mouth area.
  • Using a tool with a large ball, make a dent for the mouth
  • Fix to the face and shape / blend it
  • Shape the nose pieces and teeth, fix them to the mouth and make a line below the nose
  • Prepare the details for the eyes and eyelashes. Fix oval eyes where shown, make a line on them with the Dresden tool and fix the black line eyelashes into the line.

Step 3

To create the ears, arms, tail and body:

  • Use dusty pink to form the ears of the rabbit. For the arms roll the dusty pink colour into a long sausage shape. Cut diagonally into two equal parts. Roll a ball for the tail.
  • Using a medium ball tool, shape the ears. Fill them with white paste.
  • For the body form a large ball, roll it into a cone shape and flatten at the end. At the large bottom of the cone, make a dent in the centre with your finger and form the legs.
  • Using white paste cut out a circle for the tummy
  • Using the cocktail sticks as a tool, add texture to the tail.

Step 4

Connect the head to the body using a cocktail stick, fix the ears to the required position, fix the white part of the tummy and the tail.

Step 5

To create details:

  • Prepare the slippers and a hat using the shapes shown in the pictures.
  • Using Saracino Pasta Bouquet, cut a one shape (you can use a cutter for this) and decorate it. Your bow can be formed in a bow mould ti the required size.
  • Attach the bunny slippers and hat. Using a soft brush and powder colours add shade (I used brown and pink)
  • Fix the rabbit’s arms and fix the number one in them. Put on the cake!

Step 6

FOR THE SIDE BUNNY DECORATION:Ā Ā Prepare the paste: Add a small amount of Skin tone to the white Modelling Paste. You will also need Black paste and a small amount of pink for the nose

For the head:Ā 

  • Form a ball and shape it with your hands.
  • Using the Dresden Tool, make an incision in the centre of the lower part of the head for the mouth, then on the sides to shape the rabbit’s face.
  • Gently pull out the mouth and shape / blend the sides

Step 7

Eyes and nose:

  • Using a small metal ball tool, form oblong indentations for the eye sockets
  • Prepare black eyes and a pink nose from paste
  • Fix the eyes and nose to the bunny’s face

Step 8

For the body:

  • Form a cone shape and round it at the top, then smooth it with your hand.

  • Attach the head to the body and fix the tail

  • Prepare the rabbit’s ears, hands and feet as shown

  • Make a dent in the ears using a medium-sized ball tool

Step 9

Fix the hands and feet. Using a soft brush and powder colours, shade the rabbit (I used brown, skin tone and pink). Use edible glue to attach the rabbit to the cake.

Step 10

Sugar Flowers:Ā 

  • Using Pasta Bouquet roll out thinly.
  • Using Pasta Bouquet fix a small ball to the end of a flower wire. Using your Dresden tool make lines on the ball and set aside to dry.
  • Cut two strips 13cm long
  • Use a knife to cut out narrow triangles in each strip
  • Cut strips and fix around the flower centre.
  • Allow to dry completely, then wrap the wire with floral tape and place on the cake. If inserting into the cake you will need a flower pick.

Step 11

Balloons:

  • Flatten using your hand
  • For two balloons – Dusty pink and Skin tone, dust with Saracino Powder Colour (Pink and Brown)
  • Paint the final balloon gold with Saracino Light Gold Powder mixed with alcohol. Using edible glue, fix the balloons to the cake.

Pattern:

  • Add drops of pink and brown colours to the Saracino Sweet Lace Pearl. Mix.Ā 
  • Place in the mould. You can use any Cake Lace mould (I used Marvelous mould)
  • Let it dry completely. Due to the deep pattern my lace took 36 hours to dry completely.
  • When the lace is dry, paint some parts gold and leave the rest in the Dusty pink colour
  • Using edible glue, fix the lace on the cake

CUTE RACCOONS BABY SHOWER CAKE

CUTE RACCOONS BABY SHOWER CAKE

Jul 6, 2021 | Cakes, Lace Products, Modelling

Author: MAGDALENA KOSZYK

INSTAGRAM:Ā MADZIOWKA

Skill level: BEGINNERS

Inspiered by Tanyi Bonya

You will need:

  • Saracino Pasta Model: white, black, light blue, pink, yellow, violet, light green, brown
  • Saracino white Pasta Top
  • Saracino baby blue Pasta Top
  • Saracino powder colour: light gold, black, sky blue, pink, light skin tone
  • Saracino shiny effect confectioners glaze
  • Polystyrene balls: 1 x 6cm in diameter, 4 x 4cm in diameter, 7 x 2cm in diameter
  • Dummy cake or cake
  • Clear alcohol
  • Dresden tool
  • Ball tool
  • Rolling pin
  • Brushes
  • Fondant smoother
  • Cake drum
  • Toothpicks
  • Circle cutters

Step 1

Prepare all the necessary products and tools.

Step 2

Start by working the pastes to make them soft. You can start working right away with the pre-coloured pastes. For a soft and “dusty” sky blue, mix light blue Pasta Model with white and a little brown. Don’t be afraid to experiment until you get the colour you like.

Step 3

For the body roll and form the paste into a cylinder shape. Use the Dresden tool to shape into overalls.

Step 4

Place on a dummy and allow to dry slightly.

Step 5

Using white Pasta Model add the upper part of the torso inside the overalls. Using a ball tool add stitching to the edge of the dungarees and creases below the armpit areas.

Step 6

Using light blue paste roll two strips and round at each end for the straps. Cut out a small circle and cut out a semi circle – this will be a pocket.

Step 7

Fix the straps and pocket. Use the grey icing to model two legs as shown. Roll two strips of blue icing for the trouser legs. Roll two oval shapes from the white paste and attach to the soles of the feet.

Step 8

Fix the legs to the shorts and then wrap the trousers around the top of each leg. Use the Dresden tool to add creases to the trousers. Insert a short toothpick into the torso at the neck.

Step 9

For the head roll the shape shown. Use your index fingers or a ball tool to make two recesses for the eyes leaving a gap between them.

Step 10

Using white paste cut out terdrop shapes simialr size to the eye sockets. Use a knife or scalpel to cut off the small triangles at the top – they will look like fur. Glue both into the previously prepared recesses.

Step 11

Using a dark grey paste prepare elongated teardrop shapes, thinner on one side. Fix to the head and use the ball tool to make sockets for the eyes.

Step 12

Place your head onto the torso by sticking it onto the toothpick. Add a flattened oval shape as a snout. Mark the nose and add a smile.

Step 13

Using the dark grey paste cut out a shape as shown for the dark fur on the raccoon’s head. Prepare two white balls for the eyes, two blue balls for the irises, and two smaller black balls for the pupils.

Step 14

Roll out some brown paste and using a scalpel cut out the shape as shown to form the pilot cap. Prepare a strip of beige color and two circles with holes in the center. Gently flatten the circles into an egg shape. These elements will make the goggles.

Step 15

Add the eyes. Use tiny white beads to add a “sparkle” to each eye. Add the grey ‘fur’ piece. Add a black nose with a white ‘sparkle’. Fix the brown paste ‘helmet’ to the raccoon’s head. Add the elements to form the goggles. Add two sleeves using white paste.

Step 16

Prepare two paws from the dark grey paste as shown. Model small elements that will create the toy airplane. Let them set slightly and then glue together.

Step 17

Fix both paws to the arms. Add the toy airplane to the right paw.

Step 18

Form the shape of the ears from the black paste, stick the white centers to them (the same shape, only smaller).

Step 19

Place the ears on the raccoon’s head, gently bend them with your fingers to give character and form.

Step 20

For the cloud prepare polystyrene balls connected together with toothpicks.

Step 21

Roll out the white paste and put it over the balls. To help the paste stick you can moisten the polystyrene with a little water and a brush.

Step 22

Gently press down and pull the paste to cover the ball structure.

Step 23

Combine light pink paste with white paste, add a little brown for a soft colour. You can of course use the pre-coloured pastes if you wish. Model the shape of the tummy with the legs. Attach it to the cloud with a toothpick. If the raised leg is not set enough and drops you can insert a toothpick into it to keep it straight.

Step 24

Prepare a slightly darker shade of paste. Make a thin strap, a pocket shape and a mini heart. Using the lighter colour paste make a pocket shape. Fix the elements on the character’s tummy with a little glue if required.

Step 25

As with the previous racoon use grey paste to form the shape of the head. Use your finger or a ball tool to form recesses. Fill the recesses with lighter pieces of paste cut into a tear drop shape.

Step 26

Using a dark grey paste prepare an elongated teardrop shape flattened on one side. Fix to the face. Use a ball tool to make eye sockets.

Step 27

For the dark fur on the racoons head roll out a mid grey and cut out to the pattern shown. Roll two balls of white paste for the eyes. Using white paste shape the mouth area.

Step 28

Fix the dark fur on the head and cut to length by the nose. Add the mouth, nose, irises and ears as before. Use a Dresden tool to form the mouth and snout.

Step 29

Attach the head to theĀ torso using a cocktail stick if required. Add two sausage shapes for the arms. Using the darker pink roll two small balls and press to a cuff shape. Fix to the end of the arms. Use a ball tool to form a recess in each cuff ready to fix the hands. Apply two small dots of white paste to each eye.

Step 30

Prepare balls of dark grey and cream paste. 3 different sized pieces of each colour. Arrange from the smallest to the largest alternately.Ā Carefully press them together to form a roll shape.

Step 31

Roll the tail to give a point at each end.

Step 32

Fix the tail with a little glue. Model the hands and fix to each cuff.

Step 33

Apply a little water to the 6cm polystyrene ball.

Step 34

Roll out the dusty pink paste. Carefully cover the ball and smooth.

Step 35

Stick a toothpick into the ball.

Step 36

When the figurine is set and firm stick the toothpick into the top of the raccoon’s head. Take your time with this step as if the figurine is not firm enough the ball maybe too heavy.

Step 37

For the end piece of the balloon model a small cone shape. Prepare thin strips of the dusty pink paste. Two longer ones for the ribbons and two shorter ones for the bow. Fold in half and join them together as shown. Wrap a fifth piece around the end piece of the balloon.

Step 38

Fix to the balloon. Add a thin white strand of paste and place it in the raccoon’s hands. To obtain the effect of ribbons blowing in the wind use a construction of skewers and toothpicks as I have shown. Support the ribbons off the structure until they are set. Carefully remove the sticks checking that the ribbons are holding their shape.

Step 39

Finish off the characters by painting the eyes and noses with the Liquid Shiny confectioners glaze. Using a soft brush and the powder colours lightly dust the figures. Black for fur, blue for dungarees and the combination of pink and skin tone for the balloon and girl’s jumpsuit. To make the figures even cuter add a slight blush to the faces. Remember to control the amount of powder on the brush, apply the dust each time and then wipe the excess off the brush onto a paper towel.

Step 40

Prepare and work the purple, sky blue, green, yellow, powder pink and very light brown colour pastes. Add white paste to the pre-coloured paste to make the softer shades. Roll a long sausage shape of each colour and shape them into a rainbow. Trim the ends with a knife. Leave to set.

Step 41

Using Light Gold powder pearl colour mixed with clear alcohol carefully paint the light brown colour. Painting the gold over the brown makes coverage easier.

Step 42

Using baby blue Pasta Top cover the dummy or the finished cake.

Step 43

Glue the rainbow to the side of the cake and to the top. Optionally add white dots on the pink rainbow strip.

Step 44

Place the boy raccoon on the cake board and the girl raccoon on top of the cake. You may want to add additional decoration to the cake such as sprinkles or hand-cut confetti. On the side of the cake you can add paste covered polystyrene balls (these can also be cake pops or chocolate balls depending on your skills).
