I Love it Thank You so much
Hi, This is a great tutorial, thank you. If I were to use this method for a motorbike cake topper, what would be the best way to make the indentations for the center on both sides? or would it be better to do 2 thinner sides and stick together? or perhaps do the black tyre and do discs to go on either sides for the rim design
I wouldn’t use the same method for motorbike tyres. You have to make wheel center by rolling cuting and removing some parts with small cutters or craft knife. When these are dry then stick the black rubber part around of by rolling like sausage or big ball, push down flat and cut the center out the same size as the wheel center.
