Learn how to make an ocean themed cake with a yacht, dolphins and seagulls.
This is the first tutorial from what will be called our ‘fondant scenery’ series. A double barrel cake decorated with an ocean scene with foreground, middleground and distant waves topped with a sugar yacht. You will learn how to make a yacht, dolphins, seagulls and waves.
I love this cake. Thank you for your beautiful tutorial. I want to make this cake, but i need for 30 people. Please, could you help me with advice. What size of the cake i have to use for 30 and should i change size of the accessories?
Hi Jenny, the cake in that tutorial is 20cm H 20cm diameter. If you calculate 3x2x1 inch cuts it serves 48 portion but if you want to serve little more generous it will be just right.
thank you.
I enjoyed making this cake. The instructions were very good. Could you please tell me how to colour the pastillage? I would like to make a coloured spinnaker the next time. Thank you ?
I always mix my Pastillage white and mixed with either gel colours or powder colours ( mixed few drops of water and mixed with a pallet knife on the marble top beforehand ) if I need to prepare deep colours.
I’m not able to get the brand of fondant you use here in the US. Do you know any tricks to keep lesser brands of fondant soft and stretchy enough to accomplish the waves? Elephant skin wouldn’t be very beachy. ๐ I want to make a display cake like this but I think I’ll cover my board in matching fondant and perhaps use our sugar beach sand around the very edges.
Hi Yener ๐
I don’t have the air brush just yet, its possible to mixing blue and light blue and white fondant to get the colour like water in the ocean then use icing to make the waves at the end?
Or just use sponge scrape blue colour like another technique that you make the farm with animal? Thank you ๐
Mixing the two blue colors is better than using sponge . Thanks
Thank you ๐
