Cartoon Cake Trend! Slice Of Cake

In this cake decorating video, I am going to show you how to make this "slice of cake" cake and decorate it like a cartoon cake! This comic cake trend is really big right now and it's pretty simple to make. We will frost the cake in buttercream and I will show you how to cut a slice and stack it on top of your cake. You'll also learn how to cover the cake in sections with fondant and how to get the cartoon outline effect on your cake using a fondant clay gun!

If you enjoy my tutorials, I'd love if you'd Buy Me A Coffee! www.buymeacoffee.com/KarolynsKakes

[@butterflies8089]

You fo4g9t the trim around the top slice

[@antonishalewis163]

Hello there . How would you do this cake with fresh strawberries for the filling . HELP. I’m conflicted as the cake has to be cut into a slice 😅

[@yvettequinones7231]

It’s all about that black outline and I Loveeeee ❤️❤️❤️

[@KarolynsKakes]

It makes a big difference!

[@marlettaengland1513]

It’s amazing how the thin black fondant really turned this cake into a ‘cartoon cake.’ I’m amazed at how you came up with this idea and it’s just super darned cute. I’ve watched every video you’ve made and ALWAYS learn something new.

[@KarolynsKakes]

Awwww love you girl! Thank you!

[@maggieburris1081]

I hate clay extruders! I watched this video and thought to myself the entire time “you’re never doing this” lol But your cake looked amazing! Bravo

[@KarolynsKakes]

Sometimes I cry when I have to use it a lot 😂😂 But, seriously, if the fondant is soft, it's easy to use!

[@janeallen571]

Thank you for helping me to understand how to use you clay gun without screaming!

[@KarolynsKakes]

It's the best tool....when you know how to use it! 🙌

[@sarahholdcroft5053]

you and another person have convinced me that cartoon cake is what i'm doing for my daughter this year. It's hard to choose for her because she's a gamer. I've done the zelda, mario, minecraft blah blah things. So this is the one :) it looks amazing

[@KarolynsKakes]

Yayyyy!! These really are so cool and fun to make!🙌

[@dorisbutler6640]

I've been wanting to make one of those cakes, but now I see how much more work they are!! Great job as always Karolyn!!!

[@MultiGemgirl]

[@paulakelsey3786]

This is the best cartoon cake I've seen by a mile! The thin black fondant is genius and looks SO good! The amount of work gone into this cake is insane; for anyone who ever thinks bakers charge too much 🙄 they should try and make one of these cakes and see how long it takes!

[@KarolynsKakes]

Thank you Paula! Most people don't realize what goes into it until they try it for themselves 😂

[@cookienibz2578]

Oh Lastly I Just Want You To Know, Hunny Your Buttercream Recipe Is THE TRUTH!!! I Made Two Batches And Giiiirl I Couldn’t Stop Eating It!! You Have Changed My Mind Completely About Salted Butter In Buttercream, Thank You So Much For Sharing Your Knowledge With Us Especially Those Who Are Into The Cake Business…

Yessss!! I have been using this recipe forever. I love it, my customers love it. And it's so easy to make! I love the salted butter because it cuts down on the sweetness! I'm so glad you like it 💜🙏

[@kimgaddatmakeitsweetyeg5820]

Gorgeous cake! Certainly levelled up all expectations and my own skills by watching this. I learned from this video to properly support even small cakes on the de one tier.

[@KarolynsKakes]

Yes! I get nervous even stacking lightweight cakes on top, they still need some support. Especially if they have to travel on a bumpy road and / or if it's hot outside!

[@iselahinojosa6725]

Very beautiful cake and by the way just to let you know I made your buttercream for Christmas it was amazing delicious not to sweet just what i wanted thank you so much for your tutorial

Yay!! It's been my go-to recipe for almost 20 years. I'm so glad you like it!

[@kkh6035]

I have not made this cake but my grandson just turned "1" and my son and daughter in law did a nightmare before Christmas and asked me to make the smash cake. I have been decorating for years but have NEVER used fondant. I made a Jack Skellington cake and used all the tips I watch you use INCLUDING your fondant recipe and it turned out great ... thank you for being so kind and sharing your knowledge and gift for us all to learn...so generous. I hope you had a Merry Christmas and the New Year is great to you ... thank you again :) and this cartoon cake looks great amazing as always!

You'll get there with practice! I couldn't do it like this as a beginner so I get it 🙏

As always Adorable. Love this trend. Still a bit scared to try it lol. Fixing to try and find the Fondant Press to make tiny lines lol. I might try it then

It really isn't that bad! Just make sure the fondant is soft or you'll want to throw that thing out the window 😂

[@littlelady3895]

@@KarolynsKakes 😂😆🤣😄 good tip to have before hand lol. I have seen so many different versions of this, to which some is in Buttercream frosting, instead of fondant. But I think piping the black line would be just as straining as squeezing that fondant clay gun lol

Karolyn you read my mind❗ i wanted to ask you to make a tutorial of a comic or pop art cake. I had my nails polished in this fashion a few months ago. Your cake is absolutely charming! You are so talented. Cake decorating has become my new hobby. I have learned so much from you. I love your videos. When are you going to offer memberships? I will certainly join. You could possibly offer special videos to members only. There is so much you can do. But anyways thank you so much for the comic cake video!

[@carolinescelestialasmr]

you think this would work for an ice cream cake?? gotta come up with more designs at work

[@nicoleo822]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@sabrinasturrup1654]

That’s gorgeous I have a question might sound crazy but I’m new to this. How do you store your edible images when you have extra

[@KarolynsKakes]

There is a silver mylar envelope that the icing sheets come in. I save those envelopes (I never throw them away LOL) and store extra images in there. If you don't have those envelopes, I would double bag them in ziplock bags. They do dry out faster in the regular ziplock bags though.

[@carmensammut9972]

What did you put on each cherry pls?

[@cherylthompson9438]

One of the things I have struggled with the most since I started baking is trying to figure out what brands are good and what brands are not really. There are SO many choices because of the Internet. If you watch just a few different people's videos, they all seem to use something different. I think my main area of frustration is about coloring, i.e., powder dusts, gel colors, edible markers, air gun, shimmer colors vs. spray shimmer, etc. The second area is definitely what brand of emulsions and extracts to use. Will you please address these two areas in an upcoming video, Karolyn? Thanks!

[@KarolynsKakes]

Making a note of it, I got you!

[@natashatufail3923]

Hi, as always great tutorial! Just wondering why didn’t you use black buttercream instead of fondant for all outlines. Feel like it will be faster

[@KarolynsKakes]

You definitely can use buttercream if you'd like. It would be faster. However, I personally have very shaky hands when it comes to writing on cakes. So it won't be clean and neat because the lines won't be as straight. It's difficult to keep even pressure when squeezing it out of the bag, so it may be bigger in some areas. And, sometimes the buttercream line breaks or has air bubbles in it and it messes up. Using fondant is much easier (for me) because you have the line and all you have to do it adhere it to the cake!

[@arpymikayelyan4853]

The cake is wonderful, I like it very much. please would you tell us the cream recipe, I'd like to try it for my daughter birthday.
