Bollywood dancer doll cake

everyone in this video we're going to have a go at making a Bollywood dance a cake made this one for Bollywood fall it's a charity event not long ago now for minor don't need a lot of kicks so I'm going to use a bit of polystyrene as well you can use old cake on yours if you like so started with my big baseboard and I've drilled a hole in there's the same thickness as my cake Dale I've got a six inch polystyrene dummy and also a six inch kick drum and I've drilled through both of those and I've got a slightly off-center because I want a skirt to be bigger at one side than the other and like I say you don't have to use polystyrene I just didn't need a huge amount of cake in this one I've added a slightly smaller cake drum just to the bottom again with the same hole drilled through and I want a skirt to have a bit of a slant at the back so can you see between the two drums I'm just going to slice a little bit polystyrene off now do be carefully to get pull styrene everywhere at the moment I've not got any edible bits out so that I'm not going to get a polystyrene on anything that's going to be eaten I've got a slightly bigger bass drum now I think this one was about 14 inches that I've used here I'm gonna place my other board on here okay so you don't have to have another large base board but I want mine to look a bit bigger so I'm adding a second tier of cake drums underneath I'm gonna ice the large one first so I'm not going to stick them together yet so I've covered this in a thin layer a fondant now I've just used my Renshaw's lilac form on here and I'm just going to deepen the color a little bit by adding a bit of an edible dust and I've got a luster dust here and we're going to go on with mixing some different shades have a play around see what you think looks nice I'm just trying to use a variety of Purple's blues and reds you won't see all the middle bit because my other cake drum is going to cover that so when I put that on there you'll see you only see the edges like that so it's mainly the purple that's showing so I've just marked a circle slightly smaller than my board just because I know that I don't really need any stenciling in this circle because it's something with the edge bits that's going to be seen so I'm going to use the middle bit as a practice area for my first bit of stenciling and I've got this stencil here which I got from evil cake genius now I'll put links to everything that I use in the description box below the video I'm gonna have a bit of a practice see what it's like if I put some rainbow just glitter on now this one isn't edible so I'm just going to make sure it only goes on the board and now I'm happy with what that looks like with the pink we're going to stencil it around that edge that we've marked out and I'm using royal icing here I've bought it ready-made but you can make your own I'm going to add something glitter I should have been a little bit more sparing with it then I have been and then I've also got a little bit of gold that just mix with a little bit of alcohol and I'm just going to paint just little touches of it over the board just to give it a bit more detail a bit more color now you can get different golds this one I'm using here is a non-toxic bit isn't edible that's okay because we're only putting it on the barge and nobody's going to eat the cake board when I use gold on the cake itself I'm going to change to an edible gold so that's just a small part of the first board I'm going to wait while that's dried and I'm going to continue doing that around the rest of the board while that's drying I'm going to move on to my next board up and I'm icing it in the same lila Crenshaw's fondant I've also cooked the little holes through using my dowel so that can see where that's going to go and again we're going to repeat the process where we just some different colors on there I'm going to go slightly further in when I'm stenciling this one but we're just going to do it in the same way as we did on the bottom one so on this one I'm just putting my royal icing all over and instead of using my glitter I'm going to try using a bit gold I'm gonna try putting it on first so I'm just having a bit of practice really when I'm doing this let's see why it comes out like I know quite a few of you asked how many times I do a video before film in it and as you can see by this not quite working out as planned I do usually do it as I'm filming it I don't usually do any more takes and sometimes it is just experimenting and I'm not going to worry about that bit in the middle where it's not too neat because actually the dress itself is going to cover that area so if you've got any little mistakes like I have don't panic too much you'll probably find that most of them won't be seen then using a bit more royal icing we're going to stick out the first board just give them a little bit of time to set before you stick these together otherwise you'll smudge your royal icing you see I've got pink glitter everywhere I'm going to push one board on to the other try and get as central as you can so I haven't done the stenciling you see that bit the back of the bar as I was planning on covering it at the end although you'll see that at the end I forget so just to add height and adding some boards and Apollo styrene bit that I showed you at the beginning so remember this is the bit where if you want it all to be edible you can just use all cake or you can replace it with rice krispie treats line up all the holes and all the boards and pull styrene so that cake dowel will run right through them all and for this one I'm going to glue gun all these together with a hot glue gun just check that dowel fits in there so you can see here I've added the glue with my glue gun and I've put a little bit of glue QC around the dowel there I don't have to come into contact with in a cake so I've just got another hole in a thinner board it's going to go over the top of that and it's just going to stuff it coming into contact with my cake so I'm adding buttercream on here and I've got some sponges here ready to pond and I've gone for a toffee on this one my first cakes are six inches the same size as the cake board below and then the next one is a five inch one so we're getting slightly smaller as we're coming up and just thread those carefully onto cake dowel so then the next one gotten smaller again I've started going onto my four inch ones and don't forget to put cream in between each layer and I've also added a little bit of sugar syrup on to stop the cake drying out you can see the odd bit dripping down the side now I have had these in the freezer for about 15 minutes so you'll see some of them have hardened just a little bit I don't want them to crumble too much when I cut and we're going to start shaping it a little bit I'm just going to add some cling from the run board so the cake crumbs don't stick to my decorated board and now I'm going to start cutting in a bit of a shape to start with it looks a little bit like a bell a bell kind of shape I've left it slightly bigger at the back then at the front and then what I'm going to do is add some white chocolate ganache all the way around you can use buttercream if you like but it's much sturdier if we use ganache on this one smooth it out as much as you can and I've got another dowel that I'm just pushing in the centre of that plastic one so the plastic ones Hollow and I've pushed a big wooden one all the way through make sure there's plenty stuck out above the top and I'm just filling in the gap with extra fondant and now I've got some black fondant I'm just placing around the bottom just in case any of this shows under the skirt which is gonna put a layer of that round there now I've got this ready dyed and then I've also died some fuchsia pink with a little bit of orange add it to it now we're just concentrating on the polystyrene bit first we don't want to mix this on to the actual kick off kind of concertina in it a little bit as we go along and there will be another layer going over the top of this now you can add a little bit tylose powder if you want to firm it up so you can stick the creases up or you can add a little bit of the lip head modeling paste into it it should keep it in shape a little bit and now I've got another piece of my pink and I'm just gonna put it on in sections layer it on so it just drops over that one that you've added and then when start putting some crease lines in so that the skirt looks like it's got a little bit of a movement so I'm going to go from the front I'm going to bring them slightly round curved again just spend a bit of time playing with your pleats at the bottom if they don't wanna stay in place just push a cocktail stick underneath push it in place and then once it's hardened over a few hours we can remove those again if needs be can leave them overnight so we're going to keep going now with more pieces of fondant we'll start the other side I'm just going to neaten off that edge just trimming it down a little bit trimming around the top again concentrate on your pleats at the bottom just fold them up with your fingers and then I've got one more piece that's going to go in the center there again trim it at the top without too much we don't want too much extra around there just trimming off the edges to neaten the edges again a little bit took any of the scruffy bits behind again play around put new pleats in the bottom I pulled that bottom bit over to one side again so it looks like it's moving in the same direction as those creases that we've pushed in earlier and then once you've done this we're going to pipe on a little bit of pattern in so again I've got some royal icing I'm just using the same stuff I was using earlier and I bought it ready-made and I've just put a small round nozzle on so I'm literally just creating some really simple shapes because royal icing isn't a strong point of mine I'm going to do teardrop shapes on first layer all the way around the bottom then some darks and more teardrop shapes and more dots but make up the pattern however you want it to go and then once it's had a couple of hours to dry I'm going to paint over with one of these rainbow dusts gold but this is an edible one that I'm using with it now being on the actual cake itself once you've gone all the way around with gold we're going to add a little bit of shading into the creases now on our dress I've got a claret colored one here just use a dry brush got too much on your brush just a little bit at a time and rub that into the creases just to deepen them I'll give them a little bit of a deeper color now for the body itself I'm going to use this lip ed it's going to set up quite quick and I'm not going to have to wait for it to dry I would normally use modeling paste I'm working to quite a tight timeframe with this one so I don't have time from a modeling paste to dry unfortunately so I've died a flesh colour this one has got quite a lot of chestnut in the color and then we start by shaping our body we're going to put in a neck working on those shoulders tummy and chest kind of shape pull it in nice and tight at the waist and she's going to be a little bit wider as it comes out to where her hips are going to go I'm going to push in a bust with the paintbrush just rounding and smoothing everything off there with your fingers I'm going to add a little color line color burn either side just again using the pin brush handle for this and gently rubbing through the fingers to soften the lines a little bit now to put her on the cake dowel I'm having to slice her up in the back and just prise it apart a little bit now it will be shaped a little bit but when we stick our back on in place we'll cover that back up and I've just got a little bit more fondant I'm just adding to the top of there because I want a little bit more height before it goes onto my skirt and I'm pushing that cut around the wooden dowel that we've gone there and then I'm just going to try and push it together give it a good rub with my fingers now a lot of this is going to be covered again when we add her clothes but give it a smooth down still anyway I'm just going to go up with deeper down center of a back give her a bit more shape and I'm just going to Pat out from a hips to a skirt so that doesn't go in and then back out and then I've got smaller the pink that I used for the skirt I'm going to wrap this around her waist and it's just going to cover up that white bit so just give it a little bit of a rubdown in place now I haven't stuck it on with anything it's just kind of stuck itself and then we're going to trim that at the bottom overlap at the other side and again we'll give it a bit of a trim just keep trimming that - you're happy with the shape a little crease the backs or try and fold that back out you can see through slightly to some of the lumps and bumps just underneath when we've put more creases in and we've added our decoration you shouldn't be able to see that too much and then we want to just gently press in a belly button now the Petrin of dried it should stay quite soft for a while so we should still be able to manipulate the body if we need to I'm just going to do a little bit of piping around the edges of this piece we've just added again you can spend a bit more time on it I would have liked to have spent quite a while doing this nice and neatly I could say I was under quite tight timeframes for this one finishing it off just before I needed to go to the event and I've just got a deeper Ruby color I've found and I'm just going to roll into an oval and put in the middle and again we're just piping around that then I'm gonna put some teardrop shapes coming from the bottom upwards absolutely look like they're just hanging off the bottom of that piece of skirt now onto the head we've got some more of the flesh color that we used for the body start with a ball I'm going to create a teardrop shape we're going to push into my sockets with our fingers or thumbs I'm just going to roll a little teardrop shape there for the nose just nice and small just give it a rub in place with the back end of the modeling tool just popped up a little bit at the end keep smoothing her out - you're happy with the shape I've just use the button end of my modelling tool again The Dresden tool to push in a mouth and then I'm just going to turn it round use the pointy end to open that mouth up a little bit I'm going to fill the mouth now with a piece of white for teeth give it a bit of a push down make sure it stays nicely in place copy or pink for the lips so I've just rolled a small piece with a point at either end and we're going to put that around the bottom of our mouth I'm going to create the same shape for the top push it across the top of the mouth and then we're just going to push a little bit in the top for the Cupid's bow and now I've got an oval of the flesh color we're just going to cut down and these are going to become our eyelids so just check them for size first before we stick them in then when you're happy with those push them down and because I've used little ped for this rather than my normal wrenches modeling paste it means I can't paint onto it with my wet food colors so we're going to use dusts so I've just got brown on here I'm just going to pull it all on her eyelids so she looks like she's wearing a little bit of eye shadow I'm going to use it a slightly different color maybe a bit greeny in the middle for the eyebrows I've just got my black modeling paste now so this is just a normal modeling paste we want some long sort of sluggish shapes and we're just going to push those down in place because they've got a bit of a curve I'm going to just deepen the eyeshadow a little bit just on the outside corners eyelashes we want smaller the black roll outs get nice point at one end the points going to go in the center towards the nose I'm going to put it along the bottom of the eyelid eyelid so I'm just trimming the far side of that with the knife now at the moment our next quite long so I'm going to trim some of this off and pull that off the stick just make sure that the skewer isn't taller than the top of her head if it is put it down and I'm going to try and push that gap onto the stick so I've cut out a chunk of the lipid from the back of a head now it's quite cold in here so it's time to firm up quite quickly just react to the heat when it's warm when it's been in my hands a while it goes quite soft a bit like modeling chocolate does or rest die in place just make sure it doesn't look like it's going to fall off so I'm going to put some on the back to keep it in place I've got some black here the black lip edge looks a little bit navy blue but oh it does when you get out of the pack when you get it on in place you can't tell too much I'm just going to put plenty of that on the back make sure she stays in place I'm just going to check in my piping work from earlier as dried and then I'm going to paint over in gold just like we did with the bottom of the dress again just make sure it's the edible stuff and now for top I just wrapped around a thin piece of my fondant that was using on the skirt and I'm just going to trim it off at the back I'm going to push it together and then what I'm going to do is once thorn I'm going to trim around all the edges for the line so go from the bottom first of all a straight edge all the way around just try and neat knot that back bit a little bit and her hair is going to cover the back on here as well when a marking roughly first with the bottom and a Dresden tool we're on the neckline to go then once I'm happy with it I'm going to cut through with the knife just neaten it off a little bit if you can and then for the arms I've got some more of the flesh color I've just I've rolled out to do sticks of it I don't want to keep it my hands for too long because it will start going soft rolled thin around where the wrist is going to go flattened out the hand and then we're going to cut a triangle out leaving some and fingers let's put a little bit ever didn't in make sure this thumb and at the bottom of where the fingers would be I'm just going to cut into that now and then we'll trim the fingers they're all different lengths just look at your own hand for what length each finger should be then I'm going to play around with the position of the finger so it looks like it's in a bit of a bollywood dance move I'm going to go in a little bit thinner at the elbow and I'm going to bend it a little bit there and I'm going to just push that on to there like so if it doesn't stick you can use a little bit of piping gel to hold it in place also if you find it is drooping you can always run a piece of spaghetti or a cocktail stick through the arm onto the body just to give it a bit of extra strength keep an eye on it to make sure they're not moving too much so this one didn't want to stay in place too well so we're going to add a little bit of a cocktail stick just to help secure it on there and I'll slot that on to there so once you got both the arms on we can add the sleeves if you'll do those in the same color as the top in pink pop that around there we're just going to cut it underneath just give a good to smooth out trying to get rid of any lines with your finger or your modeling tool do the same on both arms again just rain about that seemed the best you can and we're going to put a bit more pipe in details on so we're going to put some little dots on looks like she's got some Chin's and jewelry hanging from a top down onto our belly a pipe a second layer down another one just timing below that and then we do something similar now for a necklace and we'll just use a series of dots around a neck I think my hands get in the way a little bit me soon just add more layers of dots to thicken up the necklace some even bigger ones around the bottom and the Lighting's changed a bit just trying to add some swirls leaf shapes flower ships go with whatever you find easiest for the patterning on it really and doesn't look like anything in particular just a series of squiggles and things now for the hair we want some more of the black and I'm gonna roll a few individual pieces still reasonably thick our first piece just got a little swirl on the end a little spiral on the end of it the majority of it is just straight and we start by sticking it on the base of the neck so I don't want too much weight on the head at first it's going to go on the neck I'm gonna add a second piece just overlapping the first one sitting on top of that and then we're going to start adding more of a hair around the back so at first again just pushing it onto the back of the neck rather than the head itself I'm adding more of these around the back filling in all that gap at the back of a head then once I've done that I'll start sticking them a little bit higher up on a head so it can be saved in a second layer that's just come a little bit higher and then I just put a circle quite a flat circle I most likely cap at the back of a head because I want a hair to look like it's half a path down and then some long teardrop shapes really quite long a thin quite rounded at the top end it's going on ahead with a point at the back end I'll push that around to the back of the head we'll add a second one so it's got point on both ends just push it just underneath that last one all our third doing the same thing and you're just going to repeat the same at the other side of our head then we can add some lines now I'm just using the pointy bit of The Dresden tall it's like the back of the point and I'm just dragging up from the front of a head round to the back so that looks a bit more hairlike and then we have a bit of jewelry coming down on top forehead again we're just going to pipe some shapes on many dots and teardrop shapes and then we're going to give us a little bangle so you want lots of thin sausage shapes and we're just going to pop them around each arm now just be really careful that you're not pressing on too hard on the arms we don't want to snap the arms off I'll pull them off just put as many of those on as you want don't do them too thick so we don't want too much weight pulling down on the arm and then once you've done that you can add a little bit of gold so this is the gold they actually used on the board so this particular one isn't an edible gold but as it's not on the cake itself and it's on the top a part of the body it can be removed rather than having to be and if you want to eat the body just use the edible gold instead I've added more bangles to the other arm as well and then we can give us some earrings again just massive teardrop shapes I've added in here all that can be painted up so all my royal icing now I'm adding a bit of the gold too so the necklace around her neck a little bit of beading around her tummy a little forehead piece of jewelry I'm afraid I don't know it's called and also the royal icing that's on our outfit as well and then we're going to go back onto a skirt and anyway that we've not added shading with the claret coloured edible dust we'll go back over and add some mater and mine feels like it's dried up a little bit now so I'm going to remove all this cocktail sticks that I had under the skirt earlier and they're staying in place so there she is all completed I hope you've enjoyed watching the video and people do tend to ask how long this is taken in total because obviously we cut the video down a little bit so this one took me two full
