Patterned Pastes

Some of you may have seen the patterned paste letters I made for cakes for the Cheltenham and Gloucester Expo and Cake at the NEC.  I promised to do a set of tutorials showing the basic techniques and here they are:

Stripes

Checkerboard

Swirls

And in case you've not yet seen the finished product...


I hope you have a go and please, feel free to share your finished pieces and the links to the tutorials.

    Great tutorials - thanks! I can't believe what great results you can get from something so simple (when you know how!)

    Aah, but like everything else, without that insider knowledge, would you ever have given it a go?

    Loved how they came out. For the "Y" did you just roll small dots into yellow fondant, then cut? It seems like it would be that simple LOL! But thought I would ask.

    Hi Cinjam,

    With hindsight, I should have justrolled them onto the yellow. But I didn't. I cut small holes with a piping nozzle and filled them with the other coloured pastes. You live and learn :O) Please post your creations on my FB page https://www.facebook.com/pages/Kathryns-Cakes/106747242683985

    Thank you so much for posting these tutorials! I love learning new things in the caking world so when I see something as truly awesome as this, it makes me a very happy camper! I used the technique on a Hungry Caterpillar cake and linked you in my blog :) Thank you again!
