From a free sugar gazebo to castles, swans, dragons and a spiralling staircase centrepiece.
Log in to track your progress through this journey.
This pathway builds your fairytale skills piece by piece, starting with the free sugar gazebo topper so you can get a feel for rolling, drying and assembling pastillage parts that stand strong yet look delicate. From there you’ll model a dreamy rearing unicorn on a tree scene, then construct a sugar fairytale castle topper and the horses and carriage centrepiece that partners with it beautifully.
Next comes scene building on a larger scale. You’ll shape and light a 3D toadstool cake complete with fairy, vines and pond, make a gazebo and doves wedding cake with its own piping and ribbon work, and craft four swans pulling a pearly seashell carriage. A spooky chocolate castle then introduces internal construction, rocks, sea and jetty, before you plan and assemble a spiralling staircase winding around a central pillar — the tutorial that brings your castle and carriage together into one storybook wedding cake.
The final projects are your showpieces: an oriental dragon and phoenix in modelling chocolate with a Double Happiness topper, a medieval castle cake with a gravity-defying dragon breathing flames, and a three-day pumpkin horse and carriage with modelled horses, wheels and curtains. It suits decorators who are already comfortable coating a cake and now want to sculpt, plan and stage a whole fantasy world. By the end you’ll be able to design and deliver a wedding or birthday centrepiece straight out of a storybook.
