No template, I made each piece individually and let them dry for a few days. I started by squashing a large piece of modelling paste into a 1cm flat square block and then going from a photo just cut it to shape. The black, red and silver details on the main structure are all added on after. For the wheels I started with the spokes by getting a flat circle of white flower paste and cutting triangles out all the way round to leave a spoke effect shape and the reinforced it with small strips of flower paste on each spoke just on one side, i painted it with edible silver paint straight away and let it dry, but only painted one side at a time. I waited until the next day to paint the other side on everything as the paint would just stick to the plate, so I left if to dry then turned it over. When the spokes were painted both sides and totally hard I got some black flower paste and stuck that around the edge using edible glue. I modelled the seat straight into the bike so it would mould to the shape of the bike, the dirt guard on the front I made separate and stuck on when dry and hard. The bronze bars again made separatly left over night to go hard. Stuck bit by bit on each day, and used kitchen roll to help things prop up in place until was dry. Handle bars went on last when the bike was in cake. With each hard dry part that I stuck on I used some fresh flower paste and edible glue to stick it on. The kick stands are ****tail sticks and a wooden squewer in the middle to keep it up, and just painted it silver. NOTE when painting flower paste with silver or bronze it rehydrates it and makes it go floppy so I painted everything first and let it go hard before sticking anything on. Hope this helps, sorry for being a bit long haha. Anything else you need to know just message me. Happy making.
