Great tutorial, exactly what I needed for my "Ford fanatic" cousin's 40th birthday.
I only make 4 to 5 cakes a year (for family), and I never have much time, so having a tutorial like this to work from takes out all the mistakes I would have made.
I also learned many new techniques and it made me think in new ways, ie: making my own tools and moulds.
This tutorial really made it easy for an amateur like me to make a professional looking cake. Thank you Serdar.

David.

        10-12 hours spread to two days after the plans are ready

      Hi Chef,
      I have a question, does Chef always use only ganache for 3D cakes?
      Is it possible to make a 3D cake with cream filling or something else?

      1. Serdar Yener says:
        November 3, 2018 at 12:16 am

        Other than ganache, you can use buttercream.

          Thank you very much for your answer Chef.
          I love Chef’s tutorials. I think that Chef creates miracles and I would like to achieve perfection at least halfway through.
          Best wishes!

          Can you use buttercream on the exterior too? what if your client doesn’t want any chocolate? Does buttercream hold the indentations well enough?

      Chef, as always, amazing tutorial with loads of information. I have a couple of questions please
      1- Will the plastic film wrap technique work with buttercream, Italian or Swiss specifically? If so, does it need to be cold to add indentations?
      2- The 1st layer of fondant used, how come not only cover areas where you will have the cuts from 2nd later visible or will that create unwanted edges in final gondant layer?

      Thank you.

      1. Serdar Yener says:
        April 29, 2017 at 10:14 am

        A1. Yes, the buttercream will work with plastic film. You have to chill the cake time to time when the indentations do not hold.
        A2. a) It is not worth to worry about where to cut later. b) Yes, the unwanted edges will occur.

      How come my ganash doesn’t get firm in the freezer?
