Edible Fairy Wings for Cake Decorating

[@kriistyyanne]

The background music transported me to some rainy forrest and I can just imagine real fairy’s living there. Love the tutorial 💜

[@TheSugarScoop]

Awww thank you!!

[@FimbulvertElLobo16]

OMG, this is so freakin' stunning and such a badass way to decor cakes! Thank you so much for share with us your beautiful skills and knowledge.

[@TheNormExperience]

Ok, this is EXACTLY what I have been looking for to do large wings on my niece’s next birthday cake! I had been looking at isomalt butterfly wings but none of them were large because it’s so fragile, so the gelatin is SUCH a better idea! Can’t wait to try this and see how it turns out. Thank you for making this video!

[@TheSugarScoop]

No problem! The wires are very important for larger wings. Definitely experiment in advance temp/humidity makes a big difference. Good luck!

[@deepib6572]

Amazing 😍 can I replace gelatine with agar agar?

[@thecakeworld4045]

Hi, awesome work, what fill in the piping bag is light green for the outline?

[@beverlypeterson291]

Wow!!! These are stunning!!! I’m trying to think of a way to incorporate this idea into cookie decorating! Absolutely gorgeous!!!

[@lynseyflatford5323]

Thank you for the video and pdf. I just purchased. I need these to be 100% edible, so no wire. Will that be a problem? I am planning on doing wings for a 8 inch fairy, so they will be small.

[@FlourEggsYeast]

This is absolutely gorgeous!!!

[@mariakraft9051]

Hello...the green boarder, what is it made of? royal icing? Thank you!

[@breana213800]

In her amazon product description she mentions “Madame Loulou Smart Lace, Edible & Ready-to-Use Cake Lace “ I believe that’s what the green is along with green food coloring

[@Cunsi-wr4jx]

Beautiful work. Thanks for sharing

[@jeanettesaunders3786]

Thank you. These are beautiful went straight to your shop and got your PDF. Any chance you can design sets of Dragon wings for a PDF.. That would be awesome!

[@TheSugarScoop]

Awww thank you so much!

[@paulredinger5830]

Just go online and find printable ones. Copy what you like, and just adjust the copied size to what you want. Do that with pretty much anything.

[@MUTEKANGA]

U are awesome and a great inspiration I had to take a second look and realized you where on the Halloween wars show!

[@TheSugarScoop]

Aww thanks! Yeah I was. I’m on Food network’s wedding cake championship right now!

So stunning! I admire how you work with these pieces wearing long nails>_< I can't work with long nails I always mess things up.

[@bigmamat1960]

Beautiful.

[@melindamiller268]

Stunning, I do have to ask though, why not make it out of cellophane or buy something, it’s only edible if you can eat it, and with wires all through it I’m not sure I see the point?

[@sheikhanjuman4498]

What is the green thing you piped in? Is it Royal icing?

[@celeste_R_000]

Hello, love. Do you have a homemade recipe for the green edible smart lace? I can’t find the madame loulou in our place or even in other brands. ☹️

[@aje010203]

I'm curious too

[@AmericanBaker]

Gorgeous! Such a great idea. ❤

Magnific....no se habar ingles pero me gustarea saber con que esta hecho el contorno ,el de color verde. Que los colores están de gelatina pero el contorno verde ....no lo se

[@YukinoKary]

Amazing! Beautiful job 👏...thanks for sharing! ^^

[@suzannepaiva4850]

Hi with what do you pipe the outline

[@debidehm9129]

Is there a “recipe” use use to make the gelatin (water to gelatin ratio)?

[@annd.h.1336]

SO BEAUTIFUL!!!

[@TheSugarScoop]

Ann D.H. Thank you!

[@tamaraserrano9748]

Sooo beautiful!!! 😍

[@TheSugarScoop]

Thanks!

[@laughinlexi]

Could you make these without the wire? Is there anything edible you could use instead?

[@Anna-ko8in]

It looks great. I have a question about the gelatin. Can I use vegetarian gelatine ? And did you try to make it sweet? I just can't imagine eating plain gelatine.... what do you think?

[@hafedhahafedha1445]

Awesome !!!I really love it.can I use the same technique to make a butterfly?

[@t.s8113]

Thank you for your video. Can these wings be made with all edible materials? I wouldn't want to put something on a cake or edible sculpture that couldn't be eaten.

[@TheSugarScoop]

You could try royal icing or chocolate instead of the edible lace with wire. But it wouldn’t be bendable.

[@t.s8113]

Thank you! ❤

[@monicamartinezmencia4146]

beautiful!!!!

[@madisont6588]

measurements for fairy wing lining?

[@deborahanderson1905]

I bought the wings on your site do you have a video on how to do the little girl butterfly for this photo you have the wings attached to?

[@dhiyanarahman6041]

Instead of attaching wires, can I place them directly on to a buttercream frosted cake?

[@jennypetrakis8934]

Your one clever girl, that looks amazing 😀😀

Thanks!

Beautiful wings. Awesome tutorial.

[@BookofRevelation2211]

I just ‘got my wings today’!!!! Thank you for the nice selection of them. I can’t wait to try this beautiful addition to my cakes Lil’ Ms. Shelby! Also, you nails are pretty. You’ve inspired me that I CAN work with my nails ‘all done up’ (but keeping them sanitized of course) as I love to keep them fairly long. I like my nails lookin’ fly and it makes my hands look better. I will just forego my normal embellishments.😉 New subbie.

[@TheSugarScoop]

Yay! So glad. Good luck!

Can you use agar agar instead of gelatin?

[@lise7538]

How solid are they ?

[@jillhager3282]

Could you push the wire into the piping bag for the outside wires and coat them as you pipe them?

[@TheSugarScoop]

You can always try it, I feel like it would be messier. But you don’t know until you try!

[@umerbilal7156]

How much water and gelatin do you use?

[@rimentemandine4084]

Wiuaaaou magnifique 😍😍😍

Hello, i love ur ide so much , but if i want use the base glucose n mixed it with gelatin, is it works for the base line? Hope u read this, thankyou so much 💞

[@TheSugarScoop]

Like a gummy? Might work, idk if it will be strong enough, try it out and let me know!

[@laureyes6757]

Same question...what was the green outine? Thanks!

do you make these to purchase? Not just the template? I don't have a printer!

[@sherryannvinluan8802]

Stunning.. What can we use as other alternative to that green outline.. Limited stocks availble herevin Philippines..

[@TheSugarScoop]

There are recipes online on how to make your own edible lace. I haven’t tried it, but in theory it should work.

[@olgav6820]

Is it possible to add sugar to the gelatin to make it actually taste good? Or will it not work the same and the gelatin will be brittle?

[@TheSugarScoop]

You can definitely add flavoring. You would have to experiment with different sugars, I haven’t tried yet.

[@_mformahnoor]

Can i use royal icing instead of this lace mixture ?

[@TheSugarScoop]

You can definitely try it. Royal icing will be brittle so you won't be able to bend the wings and you need to be careful no to break it.

[@binteyousaf691]

What did u use for óutline ? Of green çolor ?

[@TheSugarScoop]

Smart lace

[@shaymaahanoun4290]

Wonderful Can i ask you what the thing you use when you draw the outline of the fairy Wings, the green thing in the bag. I did not understand what you say about it on the vedio

[@TheSugarScoop]

It’s an edible lace product. The one I’m using is called Smart Lace, but there are lots of brands and you can make your own too.

[@shaymaahanoun4290]

@@TheSugarScoop Thank you very much for answering me, I hope that I did not bother you, but what is it made of? Here the materials are difficult to access, especially in conditions of COVID-19، so I must try to make them myself or find something close to them.

Amazing work thanks for sharing ❤️❤️

[@TheSugarScoop]

Thank you!

[@wendynormington6455]

How do you store these please and how long do they last?

[@TheSugarScoop]

Airtight container. I still have some! And they are a few month old. Just kept them out of the humidity. They do get more brittle with age.

[@wendynormington6455]

Thank you I made these and they were great but after two days they began to shrink from the wires I will know for next time

Your welcome!

[@rumanasarmin456]

I just found ur channel and saw this...outstanding job..I have a question..can I use melted chocolate to make the border..please answer

[@TheSugarScoop]

You can but it won’t be flexible and will be more breakable. But definitely possible! Make sure your gelatin isn’t too hot.

[@LuzDeLuna_999]

Thank you so much for sharing your baking knowledges here!! May I ask you what are you using in your green piping bag to create those wing's veins? Is it royal icing maybe? I didn't understand pretty well :(

[@TheSugarScoop]

It’s an edible lace called “smart lace” by Madame LouLou.

[@meganmaurer7722]

Beautiful! How far in advance could this be done? I’m making a large cake and plan to make a butterfly for the top using this method. Could I make it a week or two in advance? Thanks!

[@TheSugarScoop]

It really depends on how thick you do the gelatin, how you store it and where you live. I actually still have the wings I made in the video and they are in decent shape, I’m in a humid climate so they didn’t get very brittle and I wrapped them in cling wrap. You could do a test and see how it holds up.

[@TheSugarScoop]

Valaesha Miller lol sorry!

Do need to add sugar to gelatine

[@TheSugarScoop]

You can to make it taste better. But I wouldn’t want to eat these anyway.

[@susanrichmond6883]

These are beautiful. How did you attach them? It looks like you cut the wires off.

[@TheSugarScoop]

hmmm if I remember correctly... I believe I attached them with chocolate.

[@lilmonstaa1416]

Hi Shelby .. we dont get smart lace here .. what else can i use instead ? will Royal icing work ?

[@TheSugarScoop]

You could try chocolate. I think RI would be too brittle, but it might work. There are recipes online how to make your own edible lace.

@@TheSugarScoop thank you for responding Shelby

[@tik3255]

Is there a substitute for the lace? I cant find that in my city

[@TheSugarScoop]

You can try making your own. There are tutorial and recipes online. You could also try chocolate, but they wouldn’t be flexible. And your gelatin can’t be too hot.

[@pearl593]

This is beautiful but edible? Do these taste good?

[@TheSugarScoop]

Well! Lol, they are technically edible. You can add vanilla to the gelatin, I wouldn’t serve them to someone as a dessert on it’s own, but if the ate some with the cake they probably wouldn’t notice. Technically though, anything with wires isn’t edible anymore and should just be a topper that’s taken off before serving. Hope that helps!

[@babssmall266]

That's gorgeous 😍😍😍 can I use royal icing for the base wings instead of lace?

[@TheSugarScoop]

Babs Taklamu it will be more fragile and brittle but technically you can. I wouldn’t use wires either.

[@babssmall266]

Aaw thank you 🤗

[@elenikatsarelis5996]

By far, the most beautiful wings I've ever seen. What would be the best way to attach them to a figure?

[@TheSugarScoop]

You can use a few things, chocolate (not too hot) gelatin, tooth picks.. you can also extend (or place more) wires so they stick into the cake.

[@maritadvalishvili1672]

What else can we use instead of smart lace?

[@TheSugarScoop]

Edible lace, I haven’t tried another brand but I’m theory it should work fine. There are recipes out there to make your own as well.

Absolutely wow!!!!

[@misstricksmix]

[@debidehm9129]

Can these go into the fridge?

[@TheSugarScoop]

I would make a test and check. Every refrigerator is different, some are a lot dryer than others. Using a cardboard box to put your cake in, I done the fridge will help with humidity.
