Step 1.
Connect the Cake Frame structure. The 1 2
height is 12” from the 10” base plate
to the 6” top platform. Insert the small
platform 10” up from the base plate. This
will confirm which parts you need. Put
away any you don’t require. Separate the
top part of the structure.
Step 2.
Mark the centre of the cake with the ruler
by marking a vertical and horizontal line
across the widest part of the cake. Where 3 4
the lines meet in the middle is the centre.
Step 3.
Use the apple corer to make a hole in the
centre. You may need to do this a couple
of layers at a time as it will be too deep to
cut in one go.
Step 4.
Attach the first layer to the base plate
with ganache. Build the layers around the 5a 5b
structure.
Steps 5a-c.
Attach the next structural centre for
reference while the cake is coated in
ganache. Complete a full layer of ganache
on the top and sides and allow to set.
Then complete the second layer until the
top and sides are neat and smooth.
