Tropical Pineapple Cake Decorations
Ingredients
To decorate
- white flower paste, or you could use white sugarpaste
- edible liquid colours: yellow, brown, green
- edible glue
Equipment
- oval shape cutter
- mini palette knife
- rolling pin
- airbrush
- foam pad
Instructions
-
Roll out a small piece of white flower paste, or use some white sugarpaste instead. Using an oval shaped cutter, cut out a piece of sugarpaste.
Mark the fruit
-
With your mini palette knife, design some diagonal lines.
-
Repeat the same process, but in the opposite direction. Set aside your pineapple on a foam pad to dry a little.
Make the leaves
-
Shape a small piece of your white sugarpaste into a sausage roll. Flatten it with your rolling pin, leaving it a bit thick.
Mark the leaves
-
Using the mini palette knife, make an indent in the centre of each leaf, then model the leaf with your hands until you get the right shape.
Arrange the leaves
-
Repeat the process in order to create 6 leaves.
Apply colour
-
Add a few drops of yellow colour to the airbrush, then colour the pineapple by pressing gently. Increase the pressure to colour the borders. Add a few drops of brown colour, then colour the borders and give the pineapple a bit of life and shadows.
-
Repeat the same process to colour the leaves, using a few drops of green and brown liquid colour.
Finishing touches
-
Attach the pineapple to your cake with some edible glue. Repeat the process with the leaves, adding them one by one.
