Thank you soooooooooo much! What a lovely comment! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! 😊😊❤️

[@JamieJones093]

You deserve it! Two questions though if you don't mind answering for me. 1. With the mold cupcakes do they fit in cupcake paper cups? 2. Do you use a particular glaze/matt varnish on the finish to preserve them? Thanks again, Jamie.

[@theitalianmakesit]

@@JamieJones093 Thank you again!❤️ and no problems at all about the questions. 1. I don't think the mold shapes I used would fit inside the paper cases...what I think it could be done is put the paper cases in a muffin tin and then pour thick plaster inside each paper case, the plaster should stick to the paper nicely. 2.I didn't varnish or use anything to protect them, but I'm sure you couls use the standard acrylic spray varnush, or coat them with pva glue, but the glue will turn yellow with time! I hope it helps!❤️

[@JamieJones093]

This certainly answers my questions. Thank you so much again. Keep the faux food coming they are so much fun!

[@teresamantanera9851]

Che prodotto usi è stucco per pareti?

[@theitalianmakesit]

Si e’ stucco per pareti ma quello leggero, altrimenti il peso li schiaccia quando crei l’effetto della panna ☺️

[@lindaelia2616]

I have two questions…Does the filler stick well to the plaster of Paris? When you make the syrup…is it just the caulk and color of paint you chose? So cute! Thanks!

[@theitalianmakesit]

The plaster does stick well, my cupcakes from this video are all still intact!😊😊!I don't think zi added anything to the caulk....maybe a bit of water, but I would suggest trying to add some pva glue and colour, that should give it more body and add shineyness! Caulk mixed with water dries flat! 😊😊😊❤️

[@lericettediloredanameoli486]

Scusami ma io le dosi non capito grazie ❤

[@theitalianmakesit]

Per la base delle cupcake ho usato 4 parti di gesso e 1 parte e mezzo di acqua, poi dipende da quante ne vuoi fare e che tipo di formina usi, io ti consiglierei di preparare il gesso un po’ alla volta, per la panna ho usato un barattolo da 1 litro di stucco leggero bianco per i muri, e mi è bastato per fare 15 cupcakes, comunque anche qui dipende da cosa usi per decorare le cupcakes! Spero ti sia d’aiuto! ☺️☺️❤️

[@lericettediloredanameoli486]

Sei gentilissima è bravissima si mi è chiaro se puoi anche la cremina colorata tipo cioccolato ecc grazie mille per la tua gentilezza e disponibilità

[@theitalianmakesit]

@lericettediloredanameoli486 😊😊 grazie grazie!😊e non c'è problema, ia cremina al cioccolato è la stessa cosa, solo che qui si trova il mastice da decoratore anche marrone, in Italia sinceramente non saprei, i confettini dono veri🤣🤣 però si sciolgono, ma ho scoperto che si possono usare gli eladtici colorati tangliandoli a piccoli pezzetti!!😊😊😊❤

[@helenarovirosa2493]
