Thank you so much for your cleat tutorials, I am usually scared of modelling, but you've really helped, with my Jungle theme cake.

[@CakesbyLynz]

Hi Vendora, I'm so glad the tutorials have been helpful for your jungle themed cake. I always find breaking the models down into smaller sections really helps as it can be hard knowing where to start. So starting with the head, then the body and going from there.

[@ayeshahaseeb5794]

@CakesbyLynz is it necessary to mix fondant with gumpaste or we can use only gumpaste to make figures? And please tell me is sugar florist paste is also a gum paste and can be usd to make cake figures? Thank you. I hope you ll reply to me.

Thank you very much!

[@gunnerscakes]

Your videos are amazing. I have learnt how to make Fonda animals through your detailed videos. Appreciate these especially when you dont have anyone who teaches in your local area how to do these

[@CakesbyLynz]

I'm so pleased the videos have been useful and you have been able to use them to create animal toppers for your own cakes.

[@hayleyrose8076]

Amazing 👏

[@gniko1193]

Could you please make a monkey cake topper next. I made all three of your cake toppers so far and they are by far the best ones out of all the cake toppers I have made in there past. You are great at what you do and I love how you put the weight and the measurements which really helps us all. ❤️

Super amazing nice idea. ty so much ma'am you give great idea and great Tips you are great teaching and learning and give idea amazing 👌 👌 👍 💟 🙏

[@christopherfederici1684]

Hi Lynn! I love your tutorials, they're so helpful. I find my modeling paste tends to dry quickly, so when making indents or bends it begins to crack. Am I working too slowly?

[@CakesbyLynz]

Hi Christopher, one thing you could do is add a little more fondant, this way it will remain softer for a little longer. Also if you are using a pre-made modelling pastes some do dry quicker than others, so it might also just be that brand. If you have any modelling paste you are not using make sure this is kept wrapped in cling film or placed in an airtight bag or container as this will help it not dry out as fast. I hope this helps.

[@christopherfederici1684]

@@CakesbyLynz thank you so much! I'll try adjusting my ratio while I'm still learning the basics. Your videos are so great and you've given me a lot of confidence (and joy!) while working with fondant.

You always seem to go the extra mile to put that extra little touch on to make it look so perfect I love watching your Channel do you think you could make a monkey that's what I call my grandson and my granddaughter cuz they're both swinging from the trees all the time LOL thank you for sharing and keep on caking

[@user-te8jq2nf5h]

Hey, if i dont have gum paste What can I use instead?

[@nazafred6018]

So adorable. How do you preserve the topper?

[@CakesbyLynz]

Once the toppers have been made I usually just leave them in a cool, dry place and they will be fine. You just don't want them to get too hot (I actually just have him on a shelf in my kitchen now)

As long as they are kept away from any heat they can last for a really long time, so its perfectly ok to make them in advance.

[@billiewilkinson5762]

The link for colours sends me to colour splash lemon?? Do you use lemon or sunflower?? Thanks

[@CakesbyLynz]

Hi Billie, im so sorry the link it wrong, it should be the Colour Splash Sunflower yellow 😁

[@billiewilkinson5762]

@@CakesbyLynz thank you for your reply! I purchased lemon yesterday do you think it will be a drastic difference or shall I find sunflower?? someone's asked for your giffrafe on there cake to be exactly the same

[@CakesbyLynz]

@@billiewilkinson5762 I don't actually think there will be that much difference as you want quite a light yellow for the giraffe whoch is what the lemon will give. The sunflower goes quite a deep yellow the more you add, so I think the lemon will just be lighter so similar to the smaller amount of the sunflower I added, so I think it should be absolutely fine and will be very similar.

[@CakesbyLynz]

I'm so sorry the link was wrong. I will get that changed x

[@tinksinpink]

How long does it all take to dry?

[@CakesbyLynz]

Hi, It can take a few house to start to harden but usually leave mine over night to completely harden
