This is so pretty! what kind of brushes do you recommend? Do they have to be food grade, or food safe?

[@kayannmarisslina]

Is it only possible to do on a sugar paste? Thanks for the tutorial.

[@Cherrycakeco]

Hi! Sugar paste is all that I work in x

[@hedwig109]

Hi! I live in a tropical country.. Do i leave it to dry in room temp or in the fridge? I fear the buttercream might become too soft..

[@righb8]

Can we also paint the fondant or just the hardened buttercream?

[@Cherrycakeco]

Hi! this is painted on sugarpaste. I've never painted onto buttercream x

[@dijones2441]

Awesome 😘💐

[@siyanasayid]

Hi Tracey, thank you for all your amazing tutorials! I just wanted to ask you do you have a recipe for a deep sponge cake? I have attempted a few times and it's completely sunk in the middle. Thanks xxx

[@Cherrycakeco]

Thank you Mazeda! Sure, i just use the regular victoria sponge recipe - 8 eggs and 400g of everything else (butter/sugar/sr flour). I then distribute this batter between 2x 7" tins (they are 3" in height) If the middle is sinking, add a few more grams of plain flour (just in case your eggs were big!) or you are opening the oven door too soon and its sinking x Good luck!

[@siyanasayid]

Thank you so much I will give this a try xxx

[@soviwang]

Hi, how long you chill the buttercream until you can brush the cake?

[@Cherrycakeco]

Hi! This cake is sugarpaste xx

[@shareensandra87]

Hi do you mind giving tips on how the cake suppose to be like before we painted it?should it be really freezing cool,room temperature or frozen?& After the paints done,do you put it back in fridge to dried?

[@Cherrycakeco]

Thanks, just room temperature. I never refrigerate or freeze my cakes :D x

[@shareensandra87]

Thank you so much for the reply 😊♥️♥️♥️👍🙏

[@crishadevera]

What frosting did you use here?

[@mandybishop1955]

Wow thanks hun :) xx

[@Cherrycakeco]

Thanks Mandy!

[@alizahaslam3354]

Hello tracy Does the fondant cake need to be kept in the fridge before applying the water colour?? Or can we do this step right after we cover the cake with fondant??

[@Cherrycakeco]

Hi! No just room temp, and I like to let my sugarpaste firm up a little so it's not as easy to leave marks from finger prints etc :D x

[@alizahaslam3354]

@@Cherrycakeco how long do you leave the fondant to firm up before applying the paint? And also what type of brush do you use? I have a new blush brush which is new and unused .. can i use that for painting on fondant?

[@jobettt.clackay-harris7404]

Was this cake a fondant or icing cake?

[@Cherrycakeco]

Hi! this is sugarpaste xxx

[@shizukachan1541]

Which frostig is it

[@SOFIAnav]

[@Cherrycakeco]

Sorry, I already have a Peppa one on my channel already :D x

[@SundasM]

Is this buttercream or fondant?

[@mahabahgat4367]

Fondant

[@KittyCatCakes]

This is a really cute background for Peppa Pig ♥️

Thanks!

[@alisonscurr4395]

Thank you =)

[@debbiehargreaves3380]

Hi Tracey, totally off topic here, but I watch your tutorials avidly every week, and I’ve noticed you always start with the cake already baked. I’m looking for a basic cake recipe that is sturdy enough under fondant, but still tastes delish 😋 Could you share yours or is that a trade secret?

[@Cherrycakeco]

Hi Debbie! No it's no secret, I've shared it a few times, its just the bog standard regular victoria sponge recipe! 8 eggs and 400g of the butter/sugar/sr flour + splash of vanilla. Like to keep it fuss free and simple!

[@deborahsudan1920]

Thanks. 👍🏻I think i am gonna try this technic for my next cake. 😁😁

[@Warning203]

Last time I tried this watercolour effect, I nearly had a heart attack. Way too much water and the paste started melting. You made it look so easy.

[@harrietoneil3911]

I tried once with water too, and it never totally dried. Stayed tacky. But I worry about alcohol with kids eating the fondant.

[@Warning203]

@@harrietoneil3911 Alcohol is supposed to evaporate super quick if you use a high enough strength or buy from the cake shops. Personally can't use it because of religious reasons. Lustring is a pain in the rear.

[@Cherrycakeco]

I just let the cake firm up a little after covering so the sugarpaste wasn't too soft, and excess can be taken off with the paper towel :D Mine dried fully so not sure what happened there Harriet! Maybe the gel brand?

[@harrietoneil3911]

@@Cherrycakeco I painted right after the fondant was placed, so it was soft. Thanks for the tip.
