Learn how to make a cake of a cute puppy dog sitting in a basket.
In this tutorial, Serdar will show you how to make a cute puppy dog sitting in a basket as a cake. This cake was made for Serdar’s granddaughter Ayla (Serkan’s daughter) on her 5th Birthday and she was absolutely delighted with it. Serdar demonstrates how to create long fur using fondant, which can be used for many other animal cakes. You will also learn how to make a Scottish tartan blanket as well as some interesting tricks to make a realistic basket.
thanks chef for tutorial for share..time so wonderful … clearly tutorial… God bless you and fam ….
Chef let me see whether I can explain this. Say if I dont have a proper reference matrial of this dog for example to do an enlargement. I want to do this drawing from scratch. No photoshop help just as a drawing how would I do this drawing? Say I have an eight inch cake for basket. I draw the cake top view and use circle cutters smaller to that like a 6 and 4 inch to determine the size of the dog’s body and head? Is my thinking correct here. I always enlarge pics want to learn how to draw it from scratch specially a 3D animal cake like this
Yes. You are correct. I suggest few things
1. Gather as much as possible related photos of the subject.
2. If there are 2 parts in subject matter like basket and dog and let us say you decide the cake size find the percentage ( ratio nr). Dog height is 1:3rd of basket diameter so your dog height is 1:3rd of the cake.
3. Always work with two views minimum side view fist and the top
4. Work with semi-transparent papers so you can trace the top view from side view
5. Don’t forget the plan you draw only the reference for proportions and sizes so you dont have to spend too much time . For details follow the photos.
I hope this is little help.
Thank u so much Chef. You truly take the time to explain everything very clearly.
I sm really having a blast watching these tutorials. Learning so much thanks to u
Chef did u use the same principal u used in ur 3d vintage car cake
to draw this dog and basket?
Hi Sharon , I did not understand your question. Could you please explain. Thanks
Hi chef how did u plan the drawing of this dog. The cake plan usING the photos u had. Did u get a pic online. Like to know how u drew it. Thanks
What I find amazing is the level of detail and planning that goes into bringing us these tutorials. I am still a little intimidated to try, I am also overwhelmed with the amount of choice I don’t know where to start first! One of the things I do miss chef, is the pricing information that is there with the older tutorials. I find it would be a good benchmark. I practiced the alternative methods of fondant coverage last week which are brilliant. This week I think I will try making pastilliage and pick a tutorial from there!
Wow, what a little princess she is. I bet she loved it.
Fantastic, how the puppy came alive as a little character. Everything is always so well-considered with your tutorials, even the backgrounds. I appreciate how you do the hard yards, sharing how you measure the sizes and make the calculations; and the tricky little approaches like the basket weave and tartan bands. Your presentations have a very logical progression making them easy to follow. God bless, and thank you for sharing.
Thanks again, Adele, for understanding my objectives. You make me feel that YenersWay on the right pathway.
Chef Serdar I always learn so much from your tutorials and this is no different! The tecniques you use makes everything so realistic, the basket, the blanket, the fur, amazing!
