I have a question, unrelated to this video, but could I airbrush a whole buttercream cake with a dark color instead of covering it with fondant?

Love this design. Great cake to get a beginner fondant-er (my new word) to learn skills. BTW - I’ve been using your ABC recipe using a hi ratio shortening from my local bakery. HOWEVER, I used Sweetex for the first time the other day and OMG-what a difference. I will never use anything else. Thank you for all the tips, tricks and techniques you teach. I look forward to your videos every week!

Hi Karolyn, first of all your icing recipe is a game changer for this 12 year baker!! I would like to know if you can share how much tylose you use for each lb/oz of fondant, and depending if you’re going to cover a cake or make gumpaste? I eyeball and have no standard measurements, so your knowledge on this would be helpful.

@KarolynsKakes

Жыл бұрын

I eyeball it too! LOL If I'm covering a cake with fondant, I add less than if I have to use it for a decoration that needs to dry hard. To estimate, my recipe for marshmallow fondant makes approx. 2 pounds. I add approx. 1-2 teaspoons of tylose powder to that, which I can cover cakes with. But it won't dry super hard. So if I'm going to make a number topper that has to stand on its own, I will break a piece off (that already has some of the Tylose powder mixed in from before) and add a little more (maybe another 1-2 teaspoons) so it can dry hard. I hope that's not confusing!

Simple but beautiful, I love it! I have carpal tunnel in both wrists and in pain already. Can you suggest something else for the green string other then trying to roll them out so thin? Maybe a different tool? Thanks so mush for helping us all 🥰

@KarolynsKakes

Oh no! You can pipe thinned icing instead, you just need a steady hand and no caffeine in your system 🤣

This is perfect

That’s exactly what I use the old school parchment cones for! So much cheaper than an icing bag. But sometimes I’m lazy and use the bags 😆

The plastic ones are annoying. I can’t find the pre cut triangles anymore so I just cut them from a big roll.

Hi Karolyn. Fab tutorial. Can I ask where you got the veining board from that you used to imprint the veins on the holly leaves as it’s not listed in your guide for this video on tools etc used. Thanks 😊

@KarolynsKakes

Жыл бұрын

I tried to find it and couldn’t. It’s from Wilton but I got it years ago. I’ll have to search more to see if it’s out there! There are tons of leaf veiners though.

Hi Karolyn! Thank you for another great tutorial!! You really have helped me succeed in the endeavor. I have a quick question - I scanned the comments and didn’t see this question. Why did you choose to use icing to attach the bow “flaps” (🤣🤦🏻‍♀️ I didn’t know what to call them)? Usually you use piping gel - I’ve never seen you use icing.

@KarolynsKakes

Жыл бұрын

I feel like it really depends on the weather! Sometimes I feel like icing holds better because it really solidifies once I put it back in the fridge. And since it is cold here right now, I don't have to worry about the icing melting and the flaps sliding down. If it were hot out, I would want to use water and / or piping gel or melted chocolate for a more secure hold.

I love this cake, pls karolyn why didn’t you put a few decorations balls at the back ?

Beautiful Christmas cake Karolyn! I wish I could charge what you charged for this cake, but too many people in my area would say I am insane and would just go to Walmart for something. UGH!! Question? Where or what brand of edible printer do you have? I need to invest in one, but on a budget. Thank you always for sharing your talents, skills and Beautiful Cakes with us! 🎂🎉🎉🥰💞💞🎄🎄🎅🤶☃️❄️

I get all of my edible printing supplies from Icing Images. Here's my affiliate link: shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=1817175&u=2948238&m=113258&urllink=&afftrack= When you get to the site, hover over EDIBLE PRINTING and click AFFORDABLE EDIBLE PRINTERS. I have the Platinum Entry Level Edible Printer System. It comes with everything you need to get started! If that is out of your budget, I recommend getting a NEVER USED BEFORE Canon printer. (Must be brand new so toxic ink hasn't run through the system.) Canon printers have easy removal of the print head for cleaning. I do recommend that you get quality icing paper sheets. Icing Images has the best ones. If you get the cheaper ones, they tend to crack and break and aren't as sturdy.

Hi Karolyn! I love the way you make your bows. I find that I get the way you teach & now I know why you are so great at it. Your mother, she did a wonderful job! ❤
