3D Buttercream Minion Cake - How To With The Icing Artist

[@CaitlinClarke]

The minions are gorgeous! I love how you made them all from buttercream too, something different to fondant and would taste better :)

[@TheIcingArtist]

Caitlin Clarke Thanks! I love the taste of buttercream so these little Minions were delicious!

[@rebbeccapais8449]

DUDE MINIONS ARE LITERALLY ONE OF MY MOST FAV THINGS EVERRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@nancylinhares7493]

Love the detail your videos have in using buttercream instead of fondant!!

[@cakesbysharon]

These are adorable Laurie, I love Bob!!!

[@TheIcingArtist]

Creative Cakes by Sharon Me too!!! I really wanted to make a little bear to go in his arms, but I didn't have enough time.

[@jackiecopeland5894]

What a cool idea. Looks like real Fondant. Got to try this. My Son in Law hates fondant. Says it taste gritty. But everyone else here says it doesn't. So this is perfect. U r really good. Love your work.

[@TheIcingArtist]

Jackie Copeland Thank you so much Jackie! I love the look of fondant, but adore the taste of buttercream. So this cake is a little bit of both :)

[@stephaniedavis7227]

[@mrsmerilyn13]

I love this cake! Can I get the cake recipe that you used for this one

[@TheIcingArtist]

+mrsmerilyn13 Thank you so much! Here it is www.theicingartist.com/#!Vanilla-Pound-Cake/co1i/5504a0460cf2458597c3a0d4

[@sandranyc]

Beautiful cake, what kind of frosting you use? Can I have the recipe frosting ?

[@TheIcingArtist]

+sandranyc Thank you! I use a buttercream icing here is the recipe kzbin.info/www/bejne/emnHmoeXlpafnKc :D

[@swathig7146]

What colors did you add to the buttercream to achieve the royal blue??

[@TheIcingArtist]

+Swathi G I just added royal blue food colouring :) But you can make a similar blue using sky blue with a drop of black. It will be more of a navy, but it would still work

[@swathig7146]

+The Icing Artist Thank you :)

[@addih929]

YOUR THE BEST!!! Can you please do a mal from descendents cake?

[@breannatuiasosopo9714]

would stabalized whipped cream frosting be able to do this??

[@TheIcingArtist]

You might be able to pipe with it like I did, but you wont be able to smooth it with paper towel.

[@carriesherreard3011]

Do you find that a single batch of buttercream (7 cups or so) is enough to fill and frost this cake when all is said and done?

[@TheIcingArtist]

I would say you need a batch and a half to be safe. :)

[@Serena41408]

You are awesome !!!

[@TheIcingArtist]

Serena41408 So are you!

[@Blastyii]

This is so cute!!! Can I have the buttercream recipe that u used here???

[@TheIcingArtist]

+Anita Ling here it is! kzbin.info/www/bejne/emnHmoeXlpafnKc :D

[@mommy2kaci]

Is there a specific brand of paper towel you are using ? I've heard some people say they only use a certain kind to smooth out buttercream. This cake is awesome !!! Love that you didn't use any fondant !!

[@TheIcingArtist]

***** I use kirkland brand paper towel. I find it does the best job at smoothing out my cakes. I love working with fondant, but some times it is nice to switch it up with buttercream!

[@Jelly11shaina]

Hello as I can make the black in the frosting ?

[@TheIcingArtist]

+Jelibeth yes you can dye icing black just use a lot of food colouring.

[@Jelly11shaina]

If I add much bad taste does not give the frosting ?

[@TheIcingArtist]

+Jelibeth Yes black icing can taste bitter. I try not to use to much while decorating.

[@softysoon6870]

Which cream used?

[@realityfamilie3318]

wow this a beautiful minion my English is not so good but I have a few questions I hope you wil answers them! :-) 1with tip (spuitmondje I dont now the English name) did you use for evertything 2 how long did you wait for you use the paper 3 with icing us you again beautiful cake!

[@TheIcingArtist]

+reality familie Hi there! The English name for spuitmondje is "nozzel" or "tip" :) I used a Wilton 2A tip to ice the cake. I used Wilton 12 tip for everything else. Wait 15-30 seconds to paper towel the cake, so the icing doesn't come off on the paper towel. Here is the recipe for my icing: kzbin.info/www/bejne/emnHmoeXlpafnKc Thank you so much for watching! Have fun! :) -Laurie

[@mimigreenbarg9349]

what does crusting mean, regarding the frosting?

[@TheIcingArtist]

Hi Mimi! When the icing "crusts" it just means it hardens slightly on the outside of the icing so you are able to pat it down smooth

[@mimigreenbarg9349]

What are the dimensions of the cake? Can I cut up a 13 x 9 sheet cake and stack that? Thanks

[@TheIcingArtist]

They were 4" round cakes that I stacked up but you could definitely cut up a 13 x 9. You would just have to carve it to make it round :)

[@zainabpanvelwala8679]

Mimi Greenbarg it means that u need to chill ur cake for it to firm up

[@debbiewesley8846]

Laurie, 1. do you have a tutorial on making bob? 2. did you double your buttercream recipe for the Stewert ? and is it easier to use store bought chocolate and add black color so its easier to tent ? sorry so many ??? You are wonderful i'm hopeing to follow your tutorial this weekend for my daughter and grand daughters birthdays !!! Sooooo Nervous You make it look so easy but i know its not !!!! thanks

[@TheIcingArtist]

+debbie wesley It is easy! Okay I don't have a tutorial on bob but you will follow the same steps in making him. It is always good to start with a chocolate base with black icing, but you can make chocolate buttercream at home. and two recipes of buttercream should be enough for bob : ) GOOD LUCK! I would love to see a photo when you are all done [e-mail]

[@cavarseajenkins4083]

omg you made this look so easy! great job!! is there a specific buttercream for that consistency

[@TheIcingArtist]

+Cavarsea Jenkins they are super easy give them a shot! here is my recipe kzbin.info/www/bejne/emnHmoeXlpafnKc you can adjust the water content if you would like a stiffer consistency

[@cavarseajenkins4083]

+The Icing Artist thank you!
