The grand reveal of my trainer cake! As my husband Mark is running the London Marathon for @mndassoc I wanted to do my bit for a fundraising event… and had a bit of a marathon cake-making session inspired by one of his trainers! 👟 I watched a lot of YouTube videos in preparation, having never done this before – but to be honest I’m not sure I’d recommend undertaking it unless you have a spare 12 hours or so 🤣 but here is my method just in case! Not quite ‘Is it Cake’ level but at least it tasted good!! I put this on my stories as I was creating it – a big thanks for all the support, it got me through it!! • the inspiration • an awful lot of cake mix • 4 cakes and the templates – ended up needing 6 cakes! • Sooo much buttercream…. • Bit of a pit-stop along the way 🤣 • taking shape but it looks more like a clog at this stage! • Sticking it all together with jam and buttercream, not the prettiest but it does the job • Resorting to raiding Ella-Rose’s play-doh box for some modelling tools – a bit of a wash and they worked a treat! 😂 • an awful lot of fondant needed • starting the process of sticking it on • the professionals have what’s called a ‘texture mat’ – I have a cheese grater… • templating the tricky sections • shaping it into the finished article – don’t forget to thread those laces!! Good luck if you try it 😂 #cake #isitcake #cakemodelling #cakecraft #mnd #mndassociation #fundraising #londonmarathon
