Edible Relief Sculpture

This is a prerecorded class with lifetime video access.

Bas (Low) Relief Sculpture is an art form where the sculpture is done over a flat surface where it projects out. The sculpture details are made to look like it is partially embedded on the flat surface giving it a combination of 2D and 3D perspective.

This technique is the first step to venture into the art of sculpting, which gives the perspective of sculpting, making the learning easier yet giving a complete understanding of the 3D projections combined together with sculpting basics.

In this course, you will learn how to use an inspiration image, transfer the proportions of the image on the cake without losing the details. Follow the outline and build the layers of the sculpture using modelling chocolate. Build the layers further giving the details of 3D using specific sculpting tools that will bring the sculpture to life.

After sculpting is done, you will learn how to use cocoa butter and paint over the sculpture understanding the lighting and giving depth to the sculpture.

Additional details are important to make the cake look complete, painting the background to make the elephant sculpture pop out and adding leaves to the trees using a micro-sponge. Lots of tips and tricks are added in this course giving an in-depth knowledge of sculpting, painting and all of the additional details you see in this Elephant Relief Sculpture.
