I hope you enjoyed this video as much as I enjoyed making it. The Grinch is one of my favourite Christmas Films, so I really wanted to recreate him in cake ....again :)
Here is what I used in this video (you don't need all of the below, but these are what I used) -

- Sponge cakes (6inch and 8 inch round) I bought ready baked from Sweet Success if you are a new customer there you can get discount using the code ZOE24 at check out. https://www.sweetsuccess.uk.com/cakes-and-cake-mixes
- Chocolate Ganache I also got from Sweet Success, but you can make your own.
- Buttercream filling (you can see how I make it at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJe6vy62CG4&t=243s )
- Palette knife - https://amzn.to/3CUumAi

- He is covered in sugar paste and the white one is Saracino brand and the red one I got sent as a free sample to try from a company called Kelmy.

* Small Rolling pin - https://bit.ly/6rollingpin
* I printed myself a template, which was a screen shot from the film.
* I mixed this with the dry powder colours to create an edible paint - https://bit.ly/RejuvSpirit
* I used small nail scissors for some of the hair texture (they should be clean and not used for anything else if using on food).
* For the royal icing on the cookie I used the Saracino one that you mix with water.
