Method :
- Brush the cake with the apricot jam.
Roll out the marzipan and use to cover the cake. Leave to dry overnight.
- Color 500 g of the sugarpaste icing
peach, then roll it out. Brush the marzipan with water and cover the
cake with the icing. Place the cake on the board. Using a crimping tool
dipped in cornflour, crimp the top and base edges of the cake.
- Divide the remaining sugarpaste into
three. Leave one third white and tint one third yellow. Divide the last
third in two, tint one half peach and the other blue.
- Make flowers from the peach and blue
sugarpaste. Leave to dry. Reserve the blue trimmings. Make a yellow
teddy bear. Paint on its face with brown food coloring. Give it a blue
button. Leave to dry. Make a blue blanket. Frill the white edge with a
cocktail stick. Secure the frill to the blanket with water.
- Decorate the cake with the ribbon,
place the bear on top under its blanket, securing with royal icing.
Secure the flowers and the bear's bow-tie in the same way.
