You did that!!! Awesome job

Thanks. I also did Lebron's shoe kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmatppeeabuUi7s And Kobe's shoe but wasn't able to make a video of it.

[@madhuryphull83]

Hi great video Could you share the cake recipe you use... as it looks firm and easy to sculpt. The sponge recipe I use is too soft and crumbles. Thanks for sharing you video 👍

[@ArtCakes]

Hello! Thanks ❤️ For carved and sculpted cakes, you need to use a good pound cake or, at least, a butter cake. Sponge cakes don't work well. I use the sour cream pound cake recipe by Paula Deen. 🙂 Hope this helps.

Do you use tylose powder in your fondant?

[@ArtCakes]

@@ninibren Hi. Yes, we add a little tylose to the fondant, especially if the ready-to-roll fondant is soft.

[@mariacarrington4096]

Now that’s a Jordan ! but you go too fast for me to keep up! I know it’s the camera I wish you had a regular slow version of doing this cake. My 2nd oldest Grandson is turning 9 I would love to be able to make this shoe cake that’s what he basically wear. His Dad is a sneaker Dad plus he use to play football in college and over seas I was just a Addis fan, I’ve brought my Grandson 2 pair of Jordan and my self Im branching out lol. He would love this cake in the mean time I’m going to try and study it over and over!!! 🦋🙏🏽💜👟

[@ArtCakes]

Thanks! You can adjust the video playback to make it slower. It is usually found in the video Settings. Your grandson is sure lucky to have you for a grandma 🥰

I just love this cake, my son is turning 30 next month and all he wears are these shoes… I would love to make this, how would you get Jordan sign on the side of the cake?

[@ArtCakes]

I just copied it using an edible ink pen.

[@alainahenry3252]

This is perfection! How long did it take u to make in real time? Minus the bake time?

[@ArtCakes]

I don't exactly remember but give or take, I would say around 3 hours.

[@cynthiawashington4068]

This is extraordinary I wish you had a shop nearby here in New Hampshire. Wow!

[@ArtCakes]

I wish too.

[@darlenehutson3178]

I have a request for this as a topper. Im in Arkansas, USA. What do you think is a fair price? I would normally charge $40 for the 10" two layer cake it will be on.

[@ArtCakes]

Hi! I'd say you should charge higher for this since this 3D Shoe will take a lot more time and effort in creating. 😊

[@shadiseylani420]

Hi can you please shear your cake recipe?

[@allenshante1]

HELLO. IM LOOKING INTO ADDING THIS TYPE OF CAKE TO MY MENU AND HAD A QUESTION ABOUT PRICING ON A CAKE SUCH AS THIS AWESOME ONE THAT YOU MADE. I LIVE IN PHILADELPHIA

[@ArtCakes]

Hi. I don't know how much it would be in your area but here in the Philippines I charge around 3,500 - 4,000 pesos (around $70 - $80) for this one. Now (if my knowledge serves me right), in the US, I believe $250-$300 for this kind of cake is already cheap especially considering the labor involved in making it. But don't just take my word for it though. I suggest the best thing for you to do is ask around or in the nearby cities, where it's available, how much they would charge for a custom cake like this. Hope this helps. Have a nice day.

[@allenshante1]

@@ArtCakes WOOW THATS AMAZING. I WILL DEFINITELY DO THAT. THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH FOR TAKING THE TIME TO ANSWER MY QUESTION. IT MEANT A LOT TO ME. YOUR WORK IS GREAT KEEP GOING. IM ROOTING FOR YOU KING ❤️❤️❤️💯🎂👩🏽‍🍳

[@user-jj6zw9cu1e]

How do you keep the fondant so clean from the powder especially the black fondant?

[@ArtCakes]

I brush them off but some stubborn ones I could not remove by brush, I airbrush it with gin or vodka.

[@prachibh]

How can we keep the cake in fridge?

[@ArtCakes]

We normally don't refrigerate our fondant-covered cakes. Living in a tropical country, condensation will happen once you remove the cake from the fridge. And it can make your fondant "bleed" or melt. If you must, put your cake in a cake box, covered, before putting it in the fridge. If you still need to work on it, wait until it no longer looks and feels wet. Let it come to room temp and air-dry it. Only then can you resume working on it. Hope this helps. 😊

[@faithmorton3437]

do you have the ingredient list

[@brandiroy6692]

Would $200 USD be a fair price for a similar cake ?

[@ArtCakes]

Depends on where you are. $200 is more than fair here in the Philippines. If I'm not mistaken, it could go well over $300 in LA or New York 'coz a niece in California once told me it cost her $315 for a simple spiderman cake.

[@playz_t]

Wait 10 inch? I wear size 10.5

[@dasonneverdiezs]

Can I use modeling chocolate

[@ArtCakes]

Yes, you can.

[@dasonneverdiezs]

@@ArtCakes k nice would I do the same steps

[@ArtCakes]

@@dasonneverdiezs pretty much the same steps. Although we don't use molding chocolate here 'coz of the warm weather. The good thing with molding chocolate is you can patch up mistakes like nothing happened. I just dont know how to make the white part really white.

[@dasonneverdiezs]

@@ArtCakes k thx so much!

[@jbeat04]

Amazing ❤️

[@anuradhabhandari7677]

Minimum how much of the shoe cake we can make and is there any ration or any rough idea of wasted and used amount of sponge to make this cake?

[@ArtCakes]

I suppose a 9 inch shoe can be made out from a 8 x 8 inch cake. The smaller you make it, the more difficult the details to make. As you can see in the video I used approximately 95% of the 9x9 inch cake to make a 10 inch shoe cake.

[@gaetanagraziano5774]

We’re do I get pan

[@ArtCakes]

What do you mean? 'Coz you can use a regular and common square or rectangular baking pan.

[@aileenrocero8877]

This is amazing! How much would a cake like this go for? I’m a beginner at baking and someone is requesting a cake similar to this and I don’t know how to price it. They want it to feed 15 people.

[@ArtCakes]

It really depends on where you are located and in my experience, it's more pricy in Manila area than any other place here in the Philippines. Ironically, the cost of ingredients is cheaper in Manila. I guess the cost of living in an area is a big factor. Anyway, here in Cebu it's around 3K, that is, for those who appreciate the art. It would also depend on how much you value your time ('coz this takes time) and your effort. I hope this helps. Don't hesitate to ask if you have any more questions. I'm glad to be of help and thank you for the appreciation.

[@ArtCakes]

Oh, by the way, I used a 9 x 9 inch cake on this one. I don't think it's enough for 15 persons. It's good for 7 or 8 only. You could do a pair though of this size. I think that would be enough for 15.

[@laneejackson7234]

I would like to know what tools are you using for the detail of the shoe if you don't mind sharing them.

[@ArtCakes]

I used the tools from Wilton 10 pcs Gum Paste and Fondant Tool Set. I don't know the name of each tool. It also has the same tool in the set as that yellowish one I used here.

[@ArtCakes]

Just found out. The blue-green colored tool is called "Frilling stick". My wife said the yellowish tool is a blade or knife tool for fondant/gumpaste.

[@ArtCakes]

The one I used for making the sewing seams mark is a wheel tool which is in the Wilton 10 pcs tool set.

[@zerena12]

Do you freeze cake before carving?

[@ArtCakes]

No, I don't. But I do chill it for about 20 minutes before I cover it with fondant.

[@tiffanyboone9604]

Also, where would I get this template from?

[@ArtCakes]

I posted a link to the template I made in the video's description. You can just print it to your desired size.

[@jaynestorer9330]

Where do you get the stencils please?

[@ArtCakes]

Check out the link at the description box for the stencils.

[@melissahammond394]

This is not a complete guide Nice Wk. But it might make sense to say how to get a template to create each piece cause a person just watching will not do the trick

[@ArtCakes]

I posted a link to the template at the description section of the video. You can just print it to the size you need.

[@melissahammond394]

@@ArtCakes ok thanks

[@deeb3127]

What kind of buttercream are you using?

[@ArtCakes]

We use the American buttercream, adjusted to our taste and weather. 🙂

[@mpnavarro1982]

do you have templates for the details of this shoes?

[@ArtCakes]

I dont have templates for the details. I think it has to be free hand, to be able to adjust to however the whole body of the cake comes out.

[@deannacleman3111]

How do I get a template to print

[@ArtCakes]

You can checkout the link to the template I posted at the description section/box of the video.

[@anitakaywitz2729]

how much is it

[@ArtCakes]

Depends on where. Here in Cebu Philippines around 3k pesos. It's pricier in Manila Philippines but cheaper in the provinces coz only a few would be interested. In the US, I think its way more expensive coz of the labor involved.

[@sharonharrison3150]

Do you sell your template

[@ArtCakes]

Just send me your email address thru our facebook page. I'll try to send you the template I made for this cake. You can just print, cut and then trace it on a cardboard. facebook.com/YourCakeFixCebu

[@clairressagoad2789]

I would like a copy of your template for this shows as well…and thank you for offering the video and the template…

[@clairressagoad2789]

This is great work. You did so much of it free hand. Can I ask how many hours it took you from start to finish, not including creating the templates??

[@ArtCakes]

@@clairressagoad2789 I just added the links to the templates I used at the description box of the video. Let me know if were able to access it. I'm basically new to these "link" things. I had to ask my daughter to teach me.

[@ArtCakes]

@@clairressagoad2789 I did not actually time it but my guess is around 3-4 hours from the time I started carving it to the time of completion. That includes preparing the fondant (I use ready to roll fondant) and the breaks needed to check video camera and the like, coz I do it myself as well. The first time I made one like this though, probably took me 7 hours coz I was too careful carving it and getting it to the right shape with buttercream took a while.

[@thedelightfairy8782]

How much kg

[@ArtCakes]

I think around 2 to 3 kg. We don't really weigh our cakes.

[@mariacarrington4096]

You were going to fast!!!!
