Gathering Your Supplies

Before diving into the baking process, it's important to gather all the necessary supplies. Here's what you'll need:

  • Rolling pin
  • Various shaped cookie cutters

Baking the Cake

Follow your chosen cake recipe to bake your cake layers. Allow them to cool completely before moving on to the next step. While waiting, you can start preparing your buttercream icing and sugar paste.

Covering the Cake with Sugar Paste

1. Lightly dust your work surface and rolling pin with cornstarch or powdered sugar to prevent sticking.

2. Knead the sugar paste until soft and pliable.

3. Roll out the sugar paste to a thickness of about 1/4 inch.

4. Carefully lift the rolled sugar paste using your rolling pin and gently drape it over the cake.

5. Smooth the sugar paste over the cake using a fondant smoother, starting from the top and working your way down the sides.

Adding Decorations

Now comes the fun part - decorating your sugar paste cake!

1. Roll out some additional sugar paste in different colors.

2. Use various shaped cookie cutters to cut out shapes from the colored sugar paste.

3. Apply a small amount of edible glue to the back of the sugar paste shape and attach it to your cake.

4. Repeat step 3 with different shapes and colors until you achieve your desired design.

5. If desired, add some extra flair with edible glitter or other embellishments.

Final Touches
