Step 2:

Step 3:

Drill a 6mm hole through
both Cake Drums, slightly
off centre.

Underneath one cake
drum, drill a recess half
way through using a
12mm drill bit. This will
hide the metal nut and
washer and keep the
support sturdy. This will
be the base.

Step 5:

Step 6:

Step 7:

Underneath the second
cake board, secure
another two washers
using a metal nut. Make
sure everything is tightly
secured.

Drill a 6mm hole on the
edge of your plastic cup.
This is where the “spout”
of your cream jug will sit.
– This photo shows the
completed structure for
the cake.

Roll out a long wide piece of white fondant about 1”
taller than the cup. Use a bit of water on the cup and
wrap the fondant around it. Make sure the seam is on
the opposite side to the hole for the spout. Next, use
your little finger to create the spout, pushing down and
forward.

Step 1:

Step 4:

Bend the metal studding
using a small vice and
hammer.

Before pushing the metal
studding through the
cake drums, add the top
nut and washer. Nut first,
then small washer, then
the largest washer.
