I must commend u on that excellent Motivational Speech you gave on: Not giving up, but keep trying. That’s how one succeeds. I also admire your patience in in delivering detailed demonstrations as u work on your cakes. Your jovial personality enhances learning. Thanks for imparting such needed knowledge to cake lovers . Excellent job!👍 Velrine Palmer

Velrine! This is so sweet, thank you so much honey! You made my day. 💜🙏

[@kimbolden9783]

OMG you just saved me. I’ve been trying to figure out how to make a font longer and I’ve spent an hour trying to figure it out. Then I was like… wonder if Karolyn has a video! I could hug you. I’ve made cakes for awhile but never with fondant and now getting a lot of request for theme type birthday cakes. That stuff drives me nuts but is getting easier with your help. Thank you!!

[@KarolynsKakes]

Yesss! I knew you would need this! 🤣🤣 I’m so glad it helped you! 🙌🏼

Sandra! Thank you! 🥰🥰

[@Khrungy]

Love your videos. If you don't want to take a picture of the font, you can copy the text and Paste > Paste Special > Select As a Picture. You can then select and manipulate. You can also do this with just 1 letter. If you use the Picture Format selection and use Wrap Text (In Front or Behind), you can manipulate the letters to touch. A lot of times, I will use PowerPoint to build graphics.

[@KarolynsKakes]

Thank you!! Some of the tech is challenging for me so I appreciate it!

[@debtink5756]

Karolyn! I have a cricut machine and I just found out I can cut fondant with it. I’m so excited because now I can do names like this with it! The PNG file is actually for cricut design space. Holy smokes! Thanks.

[@KarolynsKakes]

Thank you I had no idea what that was for! Please let me know how it turns out with the Cricut. I have one and tried it once and it dragged the fondant all over the place and I never tried it again LOL

[@Brandi_the_Baker]

@@KarolynsKakes oh no. I hope I can get it to work. It would be a game changer. But hey if you have a cricut, use that to make your print out because you can also download dafont fonts into design space and the. You can customize the width and height of all the letters and print it straight from design space to your printer on a sheet of paper. Yes, use design space to make your names and you won’t have to take pics and all that.

[@Brandi_the_Baker]

I think the trick might be to use a super fine point blade and also adjust the blade height. I will also have to find a way to stick it to a mat without it sticking completely. I bet using some crisco might help it stay in place.

Great video! If you have the "snipping tool" on your PC you can skip the step of taking a picture with your phone. Just outline the part you want and save it, (you can crop too) then attach to your word document, and stretch and pull just like you showed. Random question.... how often do you change your exacto blade? How do you know when you need to? Thanks!

[@KarolynsKakes]

I appreciate the tip, that is so much easier! I pretty much change it weekly because I use it so much. It just doesn't slide as smoothly through the fondant when it is dull.

[@JR-fe6dc]

Loved this, thanks Karolyn! Question, did you use tylose powder in the brown fondant as well?

[@KarolynsKakes]

Yup! It's in all of the fondant I use, especially when I'm cutting decorations.😊

[@kaedee13]

Hey Karolyn, rather than using your phone to take a photo of the name on the screen, if you tap the PrtScn (printscreen) key on the keyboard, it takes a snapshot of the screen and saves it to the computer's clipboard, which you can then paste into the document as a picture to be cropped, resize etc. If you tap and hold the Alt key, then tap the PrtScn key, it takes a snapshot of just the document and leaves out the surroundings. I have watched most of your videos and have enjoyed learning so much from you. I have a question about painting white chocolate. I used a soccer ball mould to make white chocolate soccer balls (obviously lol) and I wanted to paint the black sections of the ball, but my edible texta pen didn't work, neither did colouring gel. Any suggestions?

[@KarolynsKakes]

Thank you Kaedee! OMG why didn't I know that LOL And unfortunately I've never painted white chocolate like that so I'm not sure what to recommend. There must be videos on here to show you. I'm sorry I couldn't help with that!

[@kaedee13]

@@KarolynsKakes That's okay. I'll keep looking. It could be I need a better black texta. I guess you'd make the soccer balls out of fondant?

[@michelesilverman1861]

Wow! This is awesome! You never cease to amaze me. Thank you for this great video! Oh, question..when you were sizing the name on cake in fridg you had a blue/teal cake next to it with Diamond pattern. Can you share/video how you did that? Did you use a mat or by hand Bc it looked fabulous! Thanks again Karolyn always learning from you❤️

[@KarolynsKakes]

Thanks girl! Here's the video showing how I do that. The link for the mat is in the description of the video! kzbin.info/www/bejne/aWTQn5eGnqunmtk

[@christystafford1890]

Are the leaves a cutout or do you have a stamp/cutter for them? Would like to see a tutorial on the tree and those bigger leaves. If you ever get time.

[@KarolynsKakes]

I printed the leaves out the size I wanted (I googled "palm leaf clipart" and found ones I like) Then I traced them onto fondant and cut them out! Then airbrushed to get the detail. 😊

Karolyn - May I suggest getting a copy of My Memories Digital Scrapbooking software. Very inexpensive and easy to use. You can create all kinds of cake toppers/names/other decorations very easily. I think you’ll love it. K.

You always make this process look so easy! Question: why do you take a pic from your phone and not just do a print screen and capture it that way?

[@KarolynsKakes]

Thank you Angela! For some reason, the print screen function doesn't work on my computer. My mom has a Mac and can screen shot anything, that would be so much easier. But you can definitely print screen and do the process from there!

[@ginaperez-bargas4588]

Fondant words have been THE MOST frustrating thing for me. I add tylose and let the Marshmallow Fondant rest. Either I still get elephant skin or it drags. Can you make a video about trouble shooting Fondant issues when making things like this or the other flat Fondant images?

[@KarolynsKakes]

I'm actually posting a video on Sunday about covering a cake in fondant and it talks about getting your fondant to the correct consistency. If you add tylose and still find that it's too soft, then add some more! Are you adding enough powdered sugar to your fondant? You don't want your fondant to be too soft to start with. But if you add too much sugar, it will be too dry. So there's a fine line!

[@AB-dn8xn]

The ruler in word for the height is all the way on the left of your screen.

[@KarolynsKakes]

Correct! I believe I pointed that out, hopefully I didn't miss that important piece of info!

try to copy and paste but by this time as the picture, thereby you can do the same.

[@hellenzelaya3338]

I've tried this but for some reason y cant see the letters good enough to be able to cut them out😑

Oh no! You want to make sure the fondant is stiff enough so you can trace the name onto it.
