Learn how to make a sugar cake topper of a human figurine in a Karate kicking pose.

Today we are going to make a cake with a sugar figurine on it. There is a huge difference between a figurine and a particular person’s figurine. We have to give a great deal of attention so the figurine reflects that particular person. It needs to be recognizable and most importantly it has to be liked by that particular person. For this tutorial, that person that I’m referring to is one of the 4 most important children around me… Ayla, my granddaughter. She is turning 7 and I will make a 2 tier cake with her sugar figurine on it. She’s currently learning karate so I will incorporate that theme with this cake. This tutorial’s main focus will be on how to make a person figurine on the cake, doing a special motion.

    So lovely to see you back. Please would you consider putting written text, running alongside your pictorial (as you have done on some previous tutorials) to assist us with hearing problems? Many thanks.

      I wrote to you yesterday, regarding my lessons. I found one that I can get into, however I am sure that I paid for this one as well. I explained that my husband had been contacting you at the time because I had been having trouble with your web site, so the lesson might have been bought on his email address. I was hoping you would have sorted this or at least acknowledged my email. I need to use this program. I also paid for some other lessons which I cannot remember, I cannot remember which ones they were. Kindly sort this out asap as I need to make the girl and turn her into a boy. This was bought before the pandemic. Thank you. If it helps I think I bought it when it was on half price. The lessons periodically would be half price. Kindly let me know.

        Hi Stella, I will forward your message to my son, he can help you much quicker than I. Thanks for your patience.

        Hi Stella, I believe I responded to you via email. Basically, you purchased some tutorials at YenersWay.tv and some here. I have synced both sites so you should have access to all purchased tutorials on both sites (YenersWay.com and YenersWay.tv). If you need more assistance, please email help@yenersway.com. Thanks
