Making a Log Cake

This is how I made a simple bark effect in sugarpaste/fondant to create a tree log cake.
I used:-
* Sugarpaste/fondant
* Sharpe craft knife
* Knife modelling tool
* Edible powder (brown)
* Clear alcohol

아이디어. 굿 나무모양 케익이라니.

[@jonseyybratt4885]

what did you use for the bottom part. was it just basic food coloring in brown?

[@CakesForShow]

I used brown paste food colouring mixed with a little clear alcohol

[@topcakeknowledge]

Super cake

[@3timesluxemama801]

This is great! Did you have white fondant underneath? Can you just put the brown fondant over an iced cake and not over white fondant?

[@CakesForShow]

Hi, yes you can make it however you like.

[@ashleighbaker711]

Hi can you tell me what you painted over the “wood” at the end please?

[@CakesForShow]

Hi, I used brown edible powder by sugarflair, mixed with clear alcohol.

[@CakesForShow]

What sugar paste do you use and how do you keep it from drying out? I’m having a time perfecting fondant 😢

[@CakesForShow]

I like this one from Renshaw www.renshawbaking.com/gb/products/premium-white-cover-paste/ I have also used supermarket brand sugar paste with good results. I slice pieces off and keep it wrapped in its packaging, wrapped in clingfilm, in an air tight container. I place it under an upturned glass/cup or silicone mat to stop it drying out while working with it. All the best 😀

[@eileenmurray62]

Hi, how does the icing/fondent stick to the marzipan .

[@CakesForShow]

Hi, I apply cooled boiled water to the marzipan surface with a pasty brush - so it is slightly damp, but not wet.

[@cindyethugueslavallee5784]

Is it possible to know what is the powder you used to color the 1st piece?

[@CakesForShow]

It is Sugarflair Colour Blossom Tint Powder in the colour Chocolate.

[@snoozysuzyasmr8462]

Would you say this is achievable for a beginner?

[@goodmorning713]

I'm a beginner. Looks easy enough.

[@nimatbello4751]

Well done but what are you using to pint it

[@CakesForShow]

I used edible powder/dust by sugarflair, mixed with clear alcohol.

[@bourhaiahiba2354]

Wich color did u use please ? Gel or powder

[@CakesForShow]

To colour my fondant, I used ivory paste food colouring for the top and brown paste food colouring for the sides. Then I used brown edible powder, dry on the top and then mixed it with a little clear alcohol for painting the sides.

[@arvidlundberg513]

Will cacao work as brown powder?

[@CakesForShow]

I don't see why not, I have never tried it, it may work well.

[@arvidlundberg513]

@@CakesForShow Not so much as power :) But it worked ok for colouring the marzipan
