Learn how to make a gravity defying centrepiece of a Genie coming out of a lamp.
I regularly receive invitations to participate in cake collaborations and I only accept those that would be beneficial for you to witness and those that I can make tutorials for. I also try to choose ideas that contain a variety of methods that can be used for other cakes. Today’s subject is for The Arabian Nights Cake Collaboration and I decided to make a classic genie in a lamp. Although it’s a very common idea, I think it has a lot of learning points for you to witness.
What you’ll learn…
- Gravity defying construction
- Making the lamp
- Special filler
- Making the smoke
- Muscle work
- Face sculpting
- Metallic armor
- Isomalt jewels
- Floating long ponytale
- New paste (mixture of chocolate modelling paste & Gumpaste)
DISCLAIMER: There is no cake involved in this tutorial which is why this piece is considered a centrepiece.
Fantastic! Such talent!! Please consider coming back to teach us more in full-blown monthly lessons.
How could you do a similar structure for actual cake? For example, I would like to do a floating teapot cake using cake for the teapot.
I have learned so much from you over the years and you never cease to impress with your outstanding talent and eye for details. I am awed every time. Oh and your humour is fun too ‘blue santa claus’ ??.
I will try my hand at this one but need parts of it make with cake. I thought maybe the torso (with a thicker rod) and the lamp. Do you think this would be possible?
Thank you so much for teaching!
Oh wow! I love him. I can’t wait to have a go myself. Thank you for teaching in a way that is easy to follow
Hi there. Please can you tell me if the structure you teach in this class will be suitable for adapting this to actual cake? Many thanks Sylvia
You may use thicker rod and larger platforms to hold the cake. Thick chcocolate skin around the cake before fondant.
Hallo! If you want to make cake Which is the best place to put the cake , to the lamp or the body of the jinnie?Thank you!
Maybe the body with small platform support. I would do the cake as a square base and do the rest as it happened in the video.
Brilliant. I love your work and you are so generous in sharing it. Thanks. I wonder about copyright? If someone signs up to a class and then makes something similar, are you happy if they put it on their website (as long as they acknowledge you as the inspiration and tutor?) I have come across some classes where the tutor makes it clear they find that unacceptable. I am glad to say I have not fallen foul of this, but helpful to clarify. I am UK based.
If you are paying member of yenersway or purchased the particular tutorial . You do the cake and share the picture ( your cake) with acknowledgement I will be proud. Thanks
Wonderful
