    STEP

    Grease the ex teriors of both halves of the

    moulds.

    STEP 2

    R oll out white pastillage to approx imately

    5 mm thick , large enough to cover one

    shell. L ay the sheet over the mould and

    gently press to fit. C ut around the edge

    with the pizza wheel. Set aside to dr y.

    STEP 3

    R oll out a piece of sugar paste large

    enough to cover the cake board. Paint glue

    over the board and press the paste on

    firmly. Emboss with a pebble mat or mark

    with tiny knife flicks to roughen the surface.

    L eave to dry. Paint in muted greens.

    STEP 4

    Tack the second half of the mould to a

    spare board with small dots of royal icing

    or use double sided tape dots, around

    the rim. This will make it easier to move

    about.)

    STEP 5

    R oll out white flower paste so that it is

    quite thin and cut long sweeping wavy

    curves from top to bottom. R epeat this

    in between to create long curved leaves.

    Photo 1) R emove and save the V shaped

    scraps for re-use. K eep under cover until

    required.This will be painted green later

    on.

    Alternatively you can make your paste

    green.

    STEP 6

    Press a row of leaves along the bottom

    edge of the mould using the greased

    surface to hold them in place and star ting

    at the rounded end so the leaves are

    growing away from there. Photo 1) They

    will cling if a little pressure is used.Work

    touch and m ak ing them look as natural

    as possible. R epeat along the other side.

    ST E P8

    The idea for this nex t stage is to close in

    the top a little, but leav e a fram e so that

    the inside of the pond is v isible. Curve the

    leav es and tip som e of the points outwards

    as though they are alive.When y ou are

    happy with the result, check carefully

    around the sides in case there are any gaps

    or weak spots. If there are, add another

    leaf or two. There is no right or wrong

    am ount. Set aside for a couple of day s to

    harden com pletely.

    ST E P 9

    U sing different shades of green dusts andalcohol, paint the leav es, not forgetting the

    edges, plus deep into the joins. I k eep wine

    bottle caps for paint pots for this job as I

    prefer not to m ake too m uch colour up at

    a tim e. Any rem aining can be stored for the

    nex t tim e and rev italised with a drop of

    alcohol. Leav e this to dry thoroughly.

    STEP 1

    Gently release the leaves from the mould

    by pushing upwards at the edge. Set it

    upside down into the inside of the mouldto suppor t them and paint the insides

    of everything. M aking the colour a little

    darker will create an illusion of depth.

    Set aside to complete the drying process.

    Photo 4 )

    STEP 1 1

    M ake one or two little fish. I used a button

    as a mould but a tiny oval with one end

    pinched out as a tail will work just as well.

    Photo 5 ) Paint them yellow or red to looklike carp.

    STEP 1 2

    If you had used green paste for the leaves

    then you are one stage ahead at this

    point. If not, colour a small piece of flower

    paste and roll out thinly tapered lengths

    to create plants. F old these in half two

    or three at a time, pinch together at the

    fold and press to widen at the base. This

    will help to stand the plants up. N ow paintglue on the reverse side of the fish and

    tuck them into the fronds. Allow to harden.

    Photo 6 )

    STEP 1 3

    N ow to paint the inside of the pond. Dilute

    green dust with plenty of alcohol and swirl

    this around the inside of the base eggshell.

    Add a little light brown to the brush and

    paint the lower part. While this is still

    damp, sprinkle the sides with edible glitterand the bottom with a little caster sugar.

    This will pick up the brown colour and

    look like sand. Turn the shell over and paint

    the outside with pale green, then add dark

    green brush strokes from the base towards

    the rim to look like pondweed. Dry upside

    down. Photo 7 )

    MAKING THE CAKE

    If you have a stand mixer you can make the

    whole 2kg worth of mix at one go. If not,

    make one kilogram at a time and split the

    ingredients.

    STEP 1

    Use an orange zester to remove the zest

    from two oranges. Place the zest, cake

    mix and eggs in a bowl. Mix until wellcombined.

    STEP 2

    You now need to add the liquid which for

    plain cake is water. For this version of the

    cake, orange juice is used with the water.

    Squeeze the juice of the two oranges into

    a measuring jug. Now add water to make

    the total liquid amount up to 800ml. You

    will now have a watered down orange juice

    mixture. Add this to the cake batter and

    mix until well combined.

    STEP 3

    Place the oil and white choc melts in a

    microwave safe jug or bowl and microwave

    for thirty seconds.Take out and stir and

    then repeat until the chocolate has fully

    melted.You should now have a white mix

    of oil and chocolate.

    STEP 4

    Add the chocolate and oil mix to the cake

    batter and mix until combined.

    Divide the mixture between two eight inch

    round, lined cake tins. For this project you

    need the cakes to be the full depth of the tin

    so it is best to line the tins with baking paper

    that is higher than the top edge of each tin

    and fill the tins fairly high.This cake mix rises

    well so the baking paper will prevent anyspills in the oven of overflowing cake.

    STEP 5

    Place in the oven and cook for approximately

    one and a half hours at 155-160 degrees.

    The baking time will vary depending on your

    oven. It does take a long time to cook and is

    best cooked at a fairly low temp for a long time.

    Note: If the cake star ts to look cooked

    and/or has a dark crust forming on top,

    you can cover loosely with alfoil.

    STEP 6

    When a skewer inserted into the cakes

    comes out clean, the cake is cooked. Allow

    to cool slightly and then remove from cake

    tin to cool completely. It is best to remove

    the cakes from the tins to cool so that they

    dont continue to cook and the outer crust

    doesnt go too dark.

    Naked Cake

    Do you prefer to bake from scratch or are you happy to give a pre-mix a go?

    The Bakels cake mixes come in a range of different flavours and can easily be

    adapted to create different flavours. This cake used the Bakels Crme Cake

    Muffin Mix but if you have your own butter cake or orange cake recipe you

    would prefer to use, it also works well for this cake.

    TO MAKE THE SY R U P

    Before juicing the oranges, use the zester

    to remove the rind so that it can be used

    in the buttercream filling.

    STEP 1

    Squeeze the juice from the oranges and

    strain into a small saucepan. The oranges

    used in this project produced of a cupof juice so of a cup of caster sugar was

    used with it.

    Adjust the amount of sugar you have

    to match the amount of juice you have.

    Photo 1)

    STEP 2

    Place the saucepan over medium-high heat

    and bring to the boil, stirring with a whisk.

    STEP 3

    Turn the heat down and leave to simmer

    until the mixture reduces and thickens

    slightly. Stir the mixture occasionally to

    remove any sticky or sugary edges on the

    pan.

    STEP 4

    R emove from the heat and place in a jugto allow to cool completely. As it cools, it

    will thicken up more.

    Place the bottom of one of the cakes on

    the buttercream on the plate .

    STEP 5

    Drizzle some of the orange syrup over

    the surface of the cake . It doesnt matter

    if some of it dr ips over the edges as this

    adds to the decadent and rustic look of the

    cake as a whole. You can spread the syrup

    over the surface of the cake if you wish.
