To decorate the cake board, roll out white sugarpaste a little
larger in size than the board and about 5mm in thickness.
Brush the board in either cooled boiled water or edible glue, lift
the sugarpaste onto it and cut the excess off around the edges.
Position the ‘metal’ texture sheet on one side of the board and
press firmly down to emboss the pattern into the sugarpaste.
Repeat this process, moving the texture sheet all over the
sugarpaste until it is completely embossed.
Spray over with silver lustre spray to give the effect of metal.

Step 2
Cover an 8” round cake with black sugarpaste on a separate
cake board or surface then carefully lift it onto the decorated
board, a little buttercream placed on the board beforehand will
keep it from moving. While the icing is still soft, press the ‘tyre’
texture mat firmly around the side of the cake.
To create the design on the top of the cake, cut away a circle of
black sugarpaste from the centre. The easiest way to do this is
to cut around a thin circular cake board with a small sharp knife
or scalpel then lift away the sugarpaste.
Step 4
Now roll out some white sugarpaste and emboss over with the ‘cogs’ texture mat pressing it firmly into the icing. Cut out a circle using the
thin board as a template, spray with the silver lustre spray and carefully place into the centre of the cake, replacing the black sugarpaste.
The cake can now be finished to your own design adding a message, tools and other decorations to suit.
Step 6
Step 5
To cut out the 2 & 1 we used the Patchwork large number cutters
and modelling paste so that the icing sets hard enough to stand
up. Emboss the icing with the ‘cogs’ texture mat before cutting
the numbers out and leave them overnight to set before attaching
them to the side of the cake with a little royal icing. The ‘Happy
Birthday’ message was cut out using the block upper and lower
case Clikstix cutters.

The diggers, trucks and tractors
around this tyre cake were made using the new
Pavoni Heavy Vehicle plunger cutters and coloured sugarpaste.
Once cut out, leave the decorations to dry overnight before
attaching them to the cake. We added extra colour by adding
our Rainbow Chocolate Drops around the centre and finished
the cake with tools and flags.
