Getting to Grips with Simple Cake Structures | Structuring a Gravity-Defying Character Cake | Minion

Hey Cake Chums and welcome back to another video.
It's a bit of a random one this week, as I promised the attendees at my recent Norbert the Nordic Gnome (or Gonk) Zoom Demonstration that I would film an extra video to show them how I built the structure for Norbert. Surprising simple, it's the perfect base on which to structure all sorts of gravity-defying character cakes, such as gonks, minions or even elephants balancing on ornate plinths (it will all make sense when you watch the video).
I'm also announcing the winner of this year's CHRISTMAS GIVEAWAY, so be sure to watch all the way to the end!

Thank you so much for sharing! You are so talented & your videos are so easy to follow. If you haven't already made one, I would love to see you make a Minion or a character from the Trolls movies using this structure.

[@Minnies_world]

Great videos and I love the fact that you make all of us ‘new’ bakers feel like it’s something we can achieve and don’t need a doctorate in sugar craft to even have ago 😍

[@bonnymuir]

Fab video, been desperately trying to figure out how to make a structure! Quick question, instead of the mdf board, can you use a cake drum instead or does it need to be mdf…🤔😊

[@1madcelt518]

Hi, would you do a video for how to make a support for a free standing Tornado (on an angle). I have to make one for the end of June 2024. Thanks so much!!

[@GirlArmy21]

Great little video! Hi from Nova Scotia Canada 🇨🇦

[@MrBakersCakeSchool]

Thank you! 😊

[@kaylagoodson6406]

I want to make more characters just for looks, to keep and practice. What do you use inside instead of cake?

[@janesamuel9163]

Thank you for the video would really like to see you make any of the pjmask character with this structure

[@MrBakersCakeSchool]

I’ll add it to the list! 😁

[@deaniesmith9527]

Brilliant that was really helpful thank you ..... yes I would love to see you make a cake for this cake support please 😍

[@eqilife4497]

Where do you get your threaded rod equipment from? I'm really keen to try making larger cakes and wpuld love to start competing 😊

[@MrBakersCakeSchool]

I buy all my ‘hardware’ from a local independent store near me. I prefer them to the big chain places because they can usually answer any questions, listen to whatever elaborate plans I have and point me in the direction of what I need.

[@lauramansfield999]

how can I pay for your course on gonk

[@MrBakersCakeSchool]

Well done for tracking it down! ☺️

[@ew443]

Please make a video tutorial from the start to finish. Thank you

[@MrBakersCakeSchool]

I’m planning on doing the gonk as a class or demonstration later in the year. x

[@akalizzcakeengineerarthur1829]

Please use your structure for a simple cake 🙏🏾
