June Tutorials

 

This May we explore the mythical and magical with a dragon figure modelling tutorial and we learn how to make geode cupcakes.

Before you begin

  • Get yourself a creation station ready, somewhere with room for you to spread out, make a mess and get creative.
  • Take a look at the ‘you will need’ lists for each tutorial and have everything ready at your finger tips.
  • Remember that fondant keeps for a very long time, so if you need a break half way or want to come back to the tutorial another day, just pop your work so far into a container to keep it safe.
  • And finally ENJOY! The tutorials are there for you to have fun with, feel free to get creative and add your own spin to the designs.

Don’t forget to share pictures for our Hall of Fame to cakeme@backgardenbakery.co.uk or on our top secret Facebook page The Back Garden Bakers Club.
