Hi and welcome back to my kitchen. In this weeks cake decorating video tutorial I have created a video dedicated to the technique I use to cover my cake boards.
So if you're a beginner to cake decorating or just looking to start covering your cake boards this video has lots of hints and tips, from using coloured fondant / sugarpaste, to making your boards look like wood and stone.
If you want to jump straight to the wood and stone effects I have listed the time stamps below:
04:00 Wood Grain Cake Board
06:50 Stone Effect Cake Board
In the UK our boards tend to have a metallic silver finish, so by covering the boards they really become part of the finished cake.
I really hope you enjoy the tutorial and might find some of the techniques useful. Thank you so much for watching and don't forget to subscribe for more cake decorating tutorials!
