Learn a unique method to create amazing portraits with chocolate that can be used to decorate a cake!
This tutorial will make anyone look like a master artist as Chef Yener shows you a very easy way to create portraits made with chocolate. This technique can also be used to create logos and other images, not just portraits. All you need is a printed image, chocolate in a piping bag and some fondant. Then add colour either with an airbrush or paintbrush.
While not everything on this list is absolutely required, these are the things used in this tutorial video. Of course you are welcome to find alternative ways of doing things and we would love to hear if you’ve discovered an easier method or better tool to achieve good results.
Excellent technique with chocolate! Thanks, Chef!

Amazing class indeed Yener. I had my eyes on this class the very first day it was out. I kept staring at it since I was super excited to learn this technique. I had never seen something amazing such as this. Your instructions were clear and precise. I enjoyed every minute of this class and I learnt a lot. I highly recommend this class. I love portraits and never knew that u can use simple techniques with chocolate to create incredible paintings like this. Super cool!!! Chef Yener answers all your questions and is so supportive. All the best to you Chef from Sharon's Creative Explosion Cakes... Cheers !!!!
Serdar is an amazing artist and instructor. He is able to show how to, and how not to, do something. I look forward to learning much more and recommend this site to anyone interested in making amazing cakes.
What an amazing technique. I\'m completly stunned by what we can do with this technique which I think is much better than an just printing a picture!! I\'m so happy to have discoverd your work Serdar. Can\'t wait to try it. What a great instructor.

Before watching this tutorial I thought this is going to be very difficult to achieve, I was wrong. You took it step by step and I was amazed how easy this was to do. Adding this technique to my arsenal of tricks! So happy I joined this site.
I have seen other ways out there to do portraits on cakes without printing device, but no one is giving the means and confidence to copy-paste so easily from a picture. I am sure it works great for any kind of drawing and even black&white sujets will work great. I can't wait to see what you put in the road map next!
Thank you Serdar,

Amazing, My to do list grows and grows. I am used to pencil drawings. Even switching to painting was hard (I kept holding the brush like a pencil LOL)… This one will be challenging, fun and delicious for sure. Thank you for this amazing tutorial.
I have been afraid to try this..Thank you for making this possible. Tell your son…I love the backgrounds…
I also love to be always digitally somewhere else all the time.
is it possible to do this in buttercream covered cake? any thoughts or suggestions?
You are amazing chef! Thank you for imparting your knowledge with us. 🙂 More power!

Aww thanks Yerner yes will definitely try to use Candy melts for this technique and show u a pic.By the way I have a fb website called Sharon’s Creative Explosion Cakes. I have done some edible marker images and 3d cakes. It will be an honor if u could take a minute to visit my page and write a comment about what u think of the cakes Yerner. Thanks in advance
Hi Yerner… Loved the class. Can we use Wilton Candy melts for this? Is it the same method when using modeling chocolate? Last question if I am not a airbrush fan can I use petal dust to shade in?
Just watched, BRILLIANT!! I will try to do this, practice will hopefully make perfect. Thank you Chef.
You are welcome
What kind of airbrush are you using? single or double action?
I can’t wait to see this one. I know is going to be amazing like always.
Love it
amazing

I am sure it is going to be amazing just like all your tutorials are. Can’t wait, I am sure I will have to have this tutorial also.
Can’t wait ! Awesome idea !!!
