In this tutorial, Serdar shows you how to make an elegant two tier cake decorated with bamboo and phalaenopsis orchids.
Serdar’s main objectives with this tutorial is to show you how to make realistic sugar bamboo sticks and use them as a combining element between a branch of white phalaenopsis orchids on a two tier square cake. There are a number of special techniques involved in this tutorial, one of which being a special way to create your own stamps which Serdar uses to create the Chinese porcelain patterns on the side of the cakes.
I LOVE this cake!! It’s my favorite one. I love the bamboo sticks and the pumpkin stamps. I always begin of one of your tutorials thinking that I could never make such a beautiful thing. I always end the video thinking, “I’m pretty sure I can do that!” You break such complicated designs down into very doable pieces and find simple ways to do everything.
Hi Mr. Yener,
I did this wonderful project and hope if you please check it out on my gallery and tell me you openion.
Thank you so much master chef for everything
By the way I didn’t add the cross long bamboo sticks because of the weather here the humidity was unbelievable
As I explained in the tutorial for the diagonal sticks you can wrap thinly rolled pastilage around the long wooden skewer. Thanks
Thank you so much, I won’t forget that next time
Adorable cake as usual
May God bless your mom and bless you too MASTER chef
Thank you
Hi Serdar, first, thank you very much for a great tutorial and all the tips along the way, I totally enjoyed watching. Hopefully I can practice creating one similar to this if not exactly or using the bamboos and orchids too as decorations.
May I just ask, what sort of mixture do you use for combining colors, like for example the one you did to color the bamboo. I understand you said to mix several colors together to achieve the desired tone or color. Do you just mix the gel colors together and is adding up something? Because I noticed your coloring is liquidy. Did you use vodka? If so, how much vodka? Thanks and more power to you 🙂
Hi, Guevarram, mixing colors and getting the tones you looking for is not that essential process. The first thing I would like to recommend you, get over your fear to make the mistake. I use any color closest to me and mix with just water. Powder, gel or liquid it doesn’t matter. As you have seen, bamboo sticks are pastillage which allows wet sponge cleaning nicely . Yellow, green, bit of brown and orange will you start to trial and error to do the bamboos.
Hi Chef, what are the recipe for pastillage can I use modeling chocolate instead?
Recipe available free at yenersway.com No you can not use modelling chocolate instead Pastillage. Thanks
