Where and how much were the materials?

[@withwondercakehouse]

I apologize, I realized I never put anything in the description box. I have linked everything for you, and it roughly cost me about $100. Hope that helps!

[@roset6551]

Thank you so much for this tutorial, I’m having my wedding out of town and it’s going to save so much money!

[@umaasghar833]

Beautiful!! Thank you for the tutorial

[@Nitra813]

Such a beautiful center focus for the venue setup. Great job.

[@PrairieMom]

So glad I found this video. Great ideas

[@withwondercakehouse]

Thanks for watching!! 💕

[@BeauteCakez]

Beautiful! Yes please make more tutorials.

[@dellatello6224]

Thank you for sharing ❤beautiful cake

[@myeshaatkinson9193]

What an awesome idea, I’m trying this technique this weekend

[@withwondercakehouse]

Good luck!! I hope it goes/went well for you!

[@TTPCakery]

Hello!!! Great job! I’m doing something similar later this Abe am so glad I ran across your video, I’m definitely getting spackling for my project!! Also, a little tip (if I can), use bamboo skewers to adhere the faux dummies together. That way you’ll be able to separate them easier later.

[@withwondercakehouse]

Good Luck!! and oooo thats a wonderful idea! Will definitely give it a try next time!! Thanks for watching! 💕

[@TTPCakery]

@@withwondercakehouse I did it!!! It came out better than I’d hoped! I ran out of time and had to change my initial design, but loved the finished product! Thanks again, and thank you for deciphering my typos 😂

[@sylviarodriguez2685]

I enjoyed!!!!!

[@MegaBosslady76]

It's so beautiful

[@CsSoooSweet]

Love this and thank you ! May I ask where and how much these styrofoams were. Thanks !

[@joaniepatyk1090]

Thanks! I didn’t know how to “frost” styrofoam! I tried and it was a frustrating fail but with your tips (gripper pad/heavy can on top) I will give it another try!

[@withwondercakehouse]

Yes, it can be frustrating since it's so lightweight 😩 but putting something heavy on top definitely helped! Good Luck!

[@molove3408]

Great job

[@withwondercakehouse]

Thank you so much!!

[@sylviarodriguez2685]

Can I use a cardboard box or from the Dollar Tree boxes where I can put my hand inside to spackle? New to all things arts and crafts.

[@catinar3148]

I'm about to pull out my cake decorating tool box and save $600

[@withwondercakehouse]

Do it sis! Save some coins!

[@daileequesada241]

hermoso ❤️

[@Cathybeez]

Thank you so much for this! 1)How long before can you prepare it? 2) Can you reuse the foam for practice multiple times on? 3) is it hard to stick real flowers in it?

[@withwondercakehouse]

Honestly, you can make this months advance with the faux buttercream [spackle]. It hardens and can last for a very long time. You can reuse the foam by scraping off real or faux buttercream. If you take care of it properly, the dummy cake can last you a little while. I didn't have a hard time putting florals in, I recommend using toothpicks or wire! Hope this helps! 💕

[@vidaceja5263]

I've also seen them wrap the styrofoam in seran wrap to ease removal and reuse foam.

[@marianaramallo]

BEAUTIFUL, IS IT WASHABLE ? I MEAN WITH TOWEL AND SOAPY WATER? FOR THE SPACKLE ONES?

[@mikhaileque7100]

Thanks for the video! This is so helpful 🥰 What icing did you use to match the spackling?

[@withwondercakehouse]

Hi! I used american buttercream!

[@bylka0073]

Hello, I would like to know how long does the buttercream last on a fake cake outside the refrigerator? please 😘

[@magymaxy]

Thank you for the tutorial, does the fake buttercream harden? Is it what I can scrape and reuse?

[@withwondercakehouse]

Yes, it will harden and crust almost like real buttercream. I haven't tried reusing it yet, but I feel like you can if you just scrape it off with hot water [just like I would do with real buttercream].

[@normacano5642]

Can you give your thoughts on remaking this and letting it dry and then storing it in a plastic bag for a wedding on January 20? Not with the real cake of course yet. But we an we premade all the dummies? 😊

[@withwondercakehouse]

I have definitely made a few faux cakes lately and never removed the spackle and its held up from months on end! I stored them fully decorated and "iced" on top of my fridge until I was ready to use them again lol So you can make your dummies far in advance.

[@fromjennwithlovellc]

Quick Question… I also make fake cakes with patch and paint.. I need to make a cut out for cake BUT I don’t want to use buttercream because I have to ship it… I’m not including cake also… just the cutout

[@withwondercakehouse]

Maybe you could cover the cutout with a thin layer of fondant or chocolate?

[@celiaperez1062]

What material i can use that will stay MONTHS???

[@MegaBosslady76]

How long does it take to dry

[@DannaPeterson-h8j]

Can this be painted? Maybe spray painted?

[@carriejcookielady1726]

🎉❤ awesome I still believe you should’ve charged for cake sometime we do things but yet now you’re gonna make it hard when you want to charge so it’s better to say yes supplies plus $250 something because your work is awesome blessing dear resize you gotta start preparing for college for that baby🎉

[@LifeBehindtheMusicandCameras]

what was the point of u adding a portion of real cake

[@nalikasudarshi6837]

Is this wall putty?

[@withwondercakehouse]

Essentially! Its a putty to fill holes on wall. It has a very similar texture to buttercream!

[@michellekemp3104]

Why would anyone want a styrofoam wedding cake genuine question was it just for decoration??

[@withwondercakehouse]

Most times, it's because the couple wants a certain look/size but don't actually need that much cake. They had sheet cakes already sliced and plated and then were served to the guests after they "cut the cake" and took the "cake cutting" photos!

[@mnandes2405]

If it was real cake will be transported in a dirty car too?

[@helloitsterrie8704]

Too much chit chat.
