It is official!! Henceforth it shall be called ice cream fluff. Which never happens to me either when I scoop but somewhere out there it exists. I love this channel! So grateful I found it. I too took Wilton courses at Michaels and I am getting back into cake decorating now and you're so inspiring Karolyn. And so freaking talented! Thank you so much for the time you take to share your gift and give hope to others like me. 🥰

For the ice cream scoops, you could use colored buttercream and use an ice cream scooper to scoop it out of the bowl and plop on top. Would give the right texture and look like ice cream. I wish people would order fun cakes like this. Does anyone else get bummed when they aren’t into the themes of the cake? Karolyn, do you still have a place where we can send in progress pictures? I would like for you to see my progress since you have been the one teaching me.😊

So I figured out why I can’t see when I’m doing your “trace cut and smooth” method…. Not only is my vision not the best but I’m left handed!!! 🤦🏾‍♀️ So there is always a shadow cast over what I’m trying to look at from my working hand😂 it took me the longest to figure out why this was so darn hard for me! There are a number of things that are harder from me due to being left handed 😢 like piping rosettes or flowers. And you can just forget about writing with icing😑 But I’m going to just keep practicing!! Thanks for sharing this was fun!

Good morning when you used the paper towel to smooth, had you had it in the refrigerator?

No, I use the paper towel immediately after using the bench scraper to smooth the icing. It's American Buttercream, which forms a crust. So the paper towel doesn't stick to it!

Nice! I have a few questions... 1) is gum tex powder and tylose powder one in the same OR are they diff powders but does the same thing to fondant ? 2) I see that you use crisco and pipe gel to adhere fondant. For newbies how would do know when to use which one? 3) after the final coats of buttercream did you deco with fondant all in 1 day?

@KarolynsKakes

Жыл бұрын

Hey Kay! 1. Tylose and Gum Tex are the same thing, just different brands. (Think Toyota and Lexus..they have the same engine.) 2. Here's a video I made explaining the difference! kzread.info/dash/bejne/mZqXksqelbC4nbw.html 3. I ice (frost) the cake one day and then decorate the next. Just because I need the icing to be really hard so I can handle them and stack them without messing them up.
