Welcome to Cake Basics: Cake Structures, our video all about making your very own cake structures using a variety of materials. Getting a cake structure right can be one of the most challenging tasks for a cake decorator starting out learning sculpted cakes, and in this tutorial, I break down all the pros and cons of 3 different types of cake structures, how to scale a reference picture to make a structure that supports any design, and why you would chose one structure over another.
I cover all the materials you will need for each structure and my thought process when problem-solving a structure to fit each unique project.
There’s a lot to cover in this tutorial, so let’s get our tools together and let’s get started!
