This cake came out absolutely incredible! Trust me Karolyn we don’t care about the perfect editing, we just like to see you do your magic! Have you ever considered doing live decorating videos?? That way you’re less stressed about voice overs and editing.

[@KarolynsKakes]

Thank you!! I haven't done anything like lives because I don't make one cake from start to finish. I'm always working on multiple cakes at a time, making the decorations that have to dry in advance first. I'm not sure if people were interested in just watching me work? It's kinda boring when it's not sped up and edited! I will try to figure out what I can do with that, though. So thank you for the suggestion!

[@juliesigmund3836]

That cake is so adorable! I only make cakes as a hobby for friends and family. Next weekend I have to make a cake for my grandson who is going to be 10. He wants to be a Marine Biologist and wants an ocean theme birthday cake.

[@KarolynsKakes]

Under the sea cakes are really fun to make, I bet he will love it!

[@DarlitaStephens]

Your cakes are beautiful. Covering cakes with fondant (I use MMF as well) is my Achille's Heel. Thank you for this video. Wonderful work!

[@KarolynsKakes]

You are so welcome!

Once again I must confess I purchased an airbrush machine many moons ago and til this day I haven’t even pulled it out the box😂… But after seeing this video I think I need to go and open that box,give this airbrush machine a try!!! Thanks for sharing😊.. The cake design is amazing I love space themed cakes, their super cute..

[@KarolynsKakes]

OMGGGG do yourself a favor and get yourself familiarized with it! You'll love it!!

[@Anayahkhan1377]

Hi karolyn. I just want to tell you that your tutorials are amazing and I have learned so so much from you. Your technique are very useful. I never miss any of your tutorials. 💕 💕

[@KarolynsKakes]

Thank you so much, I appreciate you! 💜🙏

[@traceykoontz2868]

Yes I get what you are talking about I have seen that on many a birthday cake in the summer party outside parties 👍.

[@dextuary]

Thanks Karolyn. I've picked up several tips from this

[@KarolynsKakes]

Glad it was helpful!

[@riahb5614]

Maybe I'm missing it but I would love to see how you did all the fondant pieces on this cake! So cute

[@KarolynsKakes]

I’m sorry but I didn’t film how I made the decorations on this one. Just the airbrushing. 😢

[@lesiamojica7675]

You are a good teacher, I made the icing and was hard, but using my ideas (after saw you) I added a litle more Cristo and water until smooth, and at the end finally, I decorated my cupcakes and were beautiful with the buttercream. Thank you so much. My regards from Los Angeles, Ca.

[@KarolynsKakes]

Yayyy!! You're welcome honey, I'm glad it worked out!

[@janfleetwood8146]

What a cute cake!! would love to see a video of how you made the astronaut. Thanks for sharing your tips and tricks and how many layers of cake you used for each tier.

[@KarolynsKakes]

You're welcome Jan! 😊

[@coraq6000]

Beautiful cake. Thanks for sharing your skills with us. Your videos have been sooo soooo helpful 😊

[@michellerocheleau3797]

Thank you for your videos. I've learned so much from you. My biggest problem is getting my buttercream smooth, without air bubbles.

[@KarolynsKakes]

It's super annoying! Here's what I do: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iH29ZWyogrqrh68

Love the cake as always and thank you for that tip on airbrushing on fondant is better than frosting ❤❤

[@KarolynsKakes]

Hey girl! You're welcome 😊💜

[@Sweetzandmore]

We don't care about the editing. I enjoy whatever you upload. 😊

[@KarolynsKakes]

Thanks boo! Trust me though, they have to be edited. A lot of those full decorating tutorials have 6-8 hours of footage that I whittle down to 20 minutes!

[@louiselemon9717]

Girrl not mad at you, for real! I love the cake!

[@KarolynsKakes]

Thanks boo! 🥰

[@sharonmaher6208]

Just to let you know karolyn I found a video where you showed how to get a deep red fondant thank you, I have a hard time trying to get pale skin colour and deep purple. .love all your info you do you busy girl.

[@KarolynsKakes]

Thanks Sharon! For a pale light skin color, I usually use a teeny bit of brown. That has a pink hue to it and looks most realistic to me! For a deep purple, I use some regal purple and add a little black. 🙌

[@sharonmaher6208]

@@KarolynsKakes Thanks Karolyn so much for replying, I certainly will try what you suggested with thd colours. Keep up your fantastic work from me your amateur cake baker..😊😊

[@sharonmaher6208]

Just fab 😊

[@Glamourgal85]

I was wondering if down the road you could make a video that shows different airbrush techniques? I received one for Christmas but have only used it a few times. I get intimidated by it lol.

[@maggieburris1081]

That’s a cute cake! Thank you for another awesome tutorial. You’re amazing 🎉

[@delilahs1099]

I find that if I airbrush it before it put it in the fridge it helps but definitely in the hotter months ir does become a nightmare! Love the hair btw.

[@KarolynsKakes]

Thanks boo! It sucks that when it's freezing cold and cakes don't melt, no one orders. It's only when it's hot and humid that everyone wants to celebrate! 😂

[@virginiaarceo45]

I love it,thanks for sharing! I have 2 ab machines and when they push air out it seems fine,but once i put the color in they don't paint!! I have cleaned them very well😢

[@KarolynsKakes]

It sounds like you have a clog. I would take the gun apart and soak the entire thing in airbrush cleaner (for cake airbrushes) to see if that clears the clog.

[@lynnann3078]

Hello Karolyn I know your busy this time of the year but I was just wondering if you could please do a video on the perfect fondant cake decorating for beginners 😊

[@KarolynsKakes]

Can you elaborate? Do you mean covering you cakes with fondant? If so, here's a video on that! kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4rEf4uKebSeoJY

[@lynnann3078]

@@KarolynsKakes covering and what kind of different decorations that a beginner can do on top of a cake that’s their first cake of fondant

[@annamace9962]

Thank you so much for your videos 😚 I’ve learned more from you than any other bakers I follow and I just appreciate you so much. I just wanted to ask if you always use piping gel when applying fondant to cold buttercream. Do you find that it is better than just wetting the buttercream slightly?

[@KarolynsKakes]

You're welcome honey! I use many different mediums to stick decorations to cakes. It depends on how heavy the decoration is and what I'm sticking it to. And if it has to hang on its own or is supported by something underneath it. Some have a better hold than others. I explain in this video! kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZfGYZubmrKFo7s

Thank you ❤😊

[@helenphillips2320]

Hi, nice cake! I have a question- I wonder if you're able to answer. This is the first time I've seen someone deconstruct a buttercream cake, and I'm really intrigued as to how you managed to take the top layer off without ripping a huge hole in the bottom tier. Every single time I've deconstructed a buttercream cake, it literally rips both the buttercream and sponge (the entire cake board area). I use dowels etc. So I have no idea how to prevent this. Any tips? Thanks :)

[@KarolynsKakes]

Hi Helen! Are you using American Buttercream? That's what I use. I've never made meringue buttercream, so that could be the culprit if you're making that.

[@helenphillips2320]

@@KarolynsKakes thanks for your response. I only use American buttercream, so it's strange. Not sure why it doesn't happen to anyone else- or maybe it does and that's why noone has videos of buttercream cakes being deconstructed haha!

[@eileenmurphy2019]

So cute! Take a deep breath and have a great cake season!

[@KarolynsKakes]

Thank you! 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@Brandi_the_Baker]

I agree having a controlled environment is key but here in Louisiana where I am, there isn’t enough air conditioning in the world during the summer to not have your cake condensate if you take it from the fridge to inside. I have to mitigate the heat and humidity by having a window unit directly in front of where I am doing my cake and even then I run into some issues. I find it better if I do it in the late evening to nighttime. Summer is crazy here. The humidity is insane.

[@KarolynsKakes]

Yes! I used to have a window A/C unit in my kitchen to help keep everything cool when it was really hot / humid. Luckily now my A/C system is brand new and works wonderfully to keep the humidity down in the house. Humidity is definitely a challenge with cakes!

[@amandasmoker8341]

Wow

[@wooderdsaunders4640]

Is the ink edible?

[@KarolynsKakes]

Yep! It's edible airbrush coloring.

[@debbieallen9646]

How do you not get over spray in your house?

[@KarolynsKakes]

There was some on the countertop afterwards, but I cleaned up the area right away.

[@debbieallen9646]

@@KarolynsKakes I found it on top of everything and used it like you did. Ugh

[@lukerichards6280]

Well I never refrigerate my cake before icing nor after

[@KarolynsKakes]

A lot of people don't refrigerate their cakes so you wouldn't really deal with condensation issues 😊

[@louiselemon9717]

I will have my family wearing long sleeve shirts because I cut on the Air😆

[@KarolynsKakes]

I’m more cold in the Summer than the Winter! 🤣🤣

[@barbielovechannel]

I tried using airbrush on my buttercream cake and its failed😢

[@KarolynsKakes]

I feel ya girl, I think it shows up so much better on fondant!

[@victoriasmith2965]

So could they look alot different because you only did one coat for the buttercream?? I think the only way we could see an accurate comparison is if you did the same amount of coats.

[@KarolynsKakes]

You could see all the imperfections in the Buttercream through the airbrushing. I didn’t want to keep spraying it since I was going to cover it. I’m sorry!

[@melijr1]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😍😍😍

[@victoriasmith2965]

Do you ever get nervous when your about to airbrush the cake ?? I've never airbrushed a cake before but I need to now. And I'm scared I'm going to mess it up ! Lol. I've airbrushed. Just not a cake

[@KarolynsKakes]

Sometimes! I just start light and build the color gradually. And I can cover up the mistakes like I did in this video! 😂
