I love your 2D fondant figures. You are inspiring me to try doing cookies. I'm a custom cookie and cupcake kinda girl

[@sabrinarobinson7822]

Beautiful work!!!!

[@mariahutter7081]

It’s simply beautiful, I love all of your cakes👍💕 Thank you so, so much for giving us the cake sizes and price...this is perfect for us that don’t have a clue on how much cakes go for. I know that per your tips it all depends on our level of decoration talent and area where we leave what will determine the price of our cakes, but definitely you gives us an awesome visual to compare talent & prices. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You are super sweet and amazingly talented👍💕

[@KarolynsKakes]

Maria! You're very welcome honey. Thank you for all the support you've given me since the beginning. I appreciate you!

[@jclosek8014]

I know you’ve been doing this for a long time, but you make it all look so easy. I so struggle with my fondant work. Never fails I always jab my nail or the exacto knife into it. So frustrating. BUT I have learned so, so much from your videos. Thank you so much for doing doing these.

[@KarolynsKakes]

I wasn't always this good with fondant! I have definitely improved over the years with a lot of practice 🙏

[@santaortiz4682]

I love it!

[@marianeleclerc1849]

Hi Karolyn! I’ve been watching your videos for almost a year now. I’m neither a cake decorator or a client because sadly, i’m from Canada, but WOW. I just love your videos and your work so so much! You’re so talented and I wanted to thank you for doing what you do. Keep up your amazing work and your good energy, it’s a pleasure to watch your videos every week!

[@KarolynsKakes]

Mariane! Thank you so much honey! What part of Canada? I went to Niagara Falls in July. It was my first time to Canada and I loved it!

[@marianeleclerc1849]

@@KarolynsKakes I’m from Quebec City! It’s about 9 hours from Niagara Falls. I’m glad to hear that you had a nice trip here!

[@sherripeterson5227]

Awesome! Very cute😍

[@Sweetzandmore]

Adorable 😊

[@mariangies]

You’re cake are so gorgeous! I’d love to make one just like this one for my first grandson’s first baby boy shower coming soon. I know it won’t look as good as yours though. Great job! 🥰

[@KarolynsKakes]

Thank you Maria, I'd love to see it when you're finished!

[@mariangies]

Hi Karolyn, sorry I took so long to respond but my daughter didn’t want me to make this cake although she loved it. I think she knew if I made it it wouldn’t look so beautiful as yours. If I make it just for practice, I will definitely send you a pic. Thanks.

[@denisemcneely6148]

Awesome as usual! I love it!!

[@KarolynsKakes]

Yay! Thank you!

[@kimgaddatmakeitsweetyeg5820]

Thank you for starting to put the prices on your cakes! Luv this video ❤️

[@christiedavis1613]

How much was this cake?

[@kimgaddatmakeitsweetyeg5820]

15:46 she says that it was for a friend, therefore she didn’t charge but would have charged approx $500

[@christiedavis1613]

Thanks Kim. I watched it on mute bc I was somewhere so it makes sense now. I want to be her friend. She’s so sweet ❤️

[@maggieburris1081]

I love this cake! I need one of those texture rollers. Well done girl!!!

[@KarolynsKakes]

I wish I could find the one I use! I got it so long ago, I'm not sure they make it anymore.

[@tatianab209]

You always do a PERFECT job!!!❤❤❤

[@OMGhorrid]

Oh my word, love how you use such simplicity to make your cakes stunning as always. Just absolutely gorgeous :)

[@KarolynsKakes]

Thanks so much 😊

[@Brandi_the_Baker]

You always do such an amazing job.

[@yvettequinones7231]

The minute you said it was for your friend my first thought was ” I wonder if she charges when it’s for friends… Lol“ I had to do a theme like this once and I did a 3D Elephant… Wish this video would have been out it’s way easier and so darn cute.

[@KarolynsKakes]

2D is so much easier for me! And it really does turn out so cute!

[@SweetDesirecakeshopp]

Beautiful cake! Did you cut and color you hair. Love it 🥰

[@KarolynsKakes]

Thank you! And yes, I just got home from the salon when I filmed the intro / outro 😊

[@dangermouse6687]

Fantastic as always Karolyn. Love it. Thank you for all your tips.

This is beautiful and yeah I am the first to comment

[@TheUkrainianStar]

This cake is sooo beautiful and I love the colors, and I love your videos ❤️

[@sarahboyd9096]

When you roll out fondant this thick ,how long do you let it sit before you start tracing and cutting out your piece

[@KarolynsKakes]

Usually around 20 minutes or so to make sure it stiffens up!

[@sarahboyd9096]

What is the tool you were using to deepen around the elephants ears it was black with kinda flat end

[@KarolynsKakes]

They are ball tools, I linked them in the description 😊

[@sarahboyd9096]

Can you paint your pieces with gel colors or do you use dusting powders only

[@KarolynsKakes]

I'm sure you could, but the gel will take a while to dry and could smear. The dusts are easy and look more natural (at least to me!)

[@Zelda-s8c]

I do love your work! Hope I can get as skilled as you 😊. Do you make your own cake boards or do you buy?

[@christiedavis1613]

She makes them and wraps with foil. She has a video for that! She has a video for everything ❤

[@KarolynsKakes]

I do have the video like Christie said. And also, I get black and gold drums from Amazon, I like these: amzn.to/3gDnAU8

[@sarahboyd9096]

How thick is the fondant elephant

[@KarolynsKakes]

About 1/2 - 3/4 inches thick. Thick enough to screw a skewer into the bottom without it showing!

[@tjackson2882]

How do you get your buttercream so white? Mine always comes out off- white 😒

[@odiecutex3]

If you add a tiny drop of purple it should cancel out the yellowish tint in the buttercream~

Absolutely love your videos. You have helped so very much. How much was this cake?

[@KarolynsKakes]

I didn't charge for this one because it was for my good friend. But it would have been around $500.

[@dawnhanley9600]

Love, love your videos! Couple of questions. How thick do you roll the fondant for names and for pictures? I see they are 2 different sizes. Also how much tylose powder do you use in the fondant to hold their shape?

[@KarolynsKakes]

Thank you Dawn! It depends on what I want the name to look like. In this video, I made it thicker so it could stand on its own. Other times I roll the fondant really thin and cut the letters that way. I have a few different videos showing names! And the amount of Tylose all depends on how soft the fondant is. I start with 1/2 - 1 teaspoon and see how it sets. If it's still too soft, I will add another 1/2 - 1 tsp until I get it to the right consistency.

Do u print on regular paper or

[@KarolynsKakes]

It's regular paper.

[@bish_puddin]

Great tutorial❤. I just got my ribbon cutting thing from Amazon today😁 Not cake related but do you teach pole dancing too? I would love to get into that cuz I heard it’s great exercise and it looks really cool.

[@KarolynsKakes]

I used to teach pole fitness! I loved it so much, but I dealt with persistent injuries and had to stop. I really miss it, it is one of the best workouts I've ever done and it is so much fun! I just teach yoga now. Much less stress on your body LOL If you try it, just remember to go at your own pace and listen to your body!

[@louiselemon9717]

Absolutely beautiful! How far in advance did you make the elephant, letters as they are thick? Do they need to be solid before applying to the cake? I did attempt your graduation cap but it didn't really harden and I'm guessing I didn't have enough Tylose. (I had it out for 3 days) I either don't have enough or too much Tylose.🤷‍♀

[@KarolynsKakes]

I made the letters and elephant 24 hours in advance. And, yes, it sounds like you needed more tylose. Especially for the grad cap. Since that has to stand on its own, I usually add a lot of the powder so it will dry really hard!

[@WillDisclose-di8nn]

Gotta try this method! Its so cool! Did you come up with it Karolyn?
