Genie in a Lamp Centrepiece

Yeners Way — Wed, 22 May 2019 03:45:54 +0000

I regularly receive invitations to participate in cake collaborations and I only accept those that would be beneficial for you to witness and those that I can make tutorials for. I also try to choose ideas that contain a variety of methods that can be used for other cakes. Today’s subject is for The Arabian Nights Cake Collaboration and I decided to make a classic genie in a lamp. Although it’s a very common idea, I think it has a lot of learning points for you to witness.

What you’ll learn…

Gravity defying construction
Making the lamp
Special filler
Making the smoke
Muscle work
Face sculpting
Metallic armor
Isomalt jewels
Floating long ponytale
New paste (mixture of chocolate modelling paste & Gumpaste)

DISCLAIMER: There is no cake involved in this tutorial which is why this piece is considered a centrepiece.
