How to Make Faux Cake Slices from Sponges by Candace Jedrowicz

[@Cool2Craft]

Thank you! I first saw this on FaceBook! Then I searched it Pinteresst and followed the link to the original post. I credit the artist in my post. ~ Candace

I'm such a ninny. I always read descriptions and did read about the caulking (never heard of it before...i'm dutch) but neglected to read the rest because i was in a rush. Still, you're very creative and i am amazed at the creative skill of people here in YT land. If anything, i learned to think outside of the box. Thank you again.

fabulous idea, I made these after I watched your video, it turned out so well, thank you! I used real sprinkle cake decorations, the slices look so authentic! I am using them as props for a Marie Antoinette Halloween costume - "let them eat cake" as she is alleged to have said!

[@Cool2Craft]

Yay! Yay! Yay! That's awesome news Tomasz! This is one of our favorite faux dessert ideas!

[@momacraftscarfts9152]

OK Candace. I have to admit I was skeptical when I heard about this project... but your mojo won me over. This looks like a lot of fun :)

[@Cool2Craft]

Yay! Yay! Yay! So delighted to hear that we have inspired your creativity! Have a super fun Halloween! [Tiffany]

If you put magnets on the back it would be great for a fridge magnet would sell great at craft fairs!

[@sweetremission2658]

Awesome idea!! Thanks!

[@callieford2228]

[@wolfsangeleyes]

Great tutorial and idea. How do you come up with this stuff, wow.

[@theresaannrossano6528]

I loved this! Do we have to put the, cardboard?

[@Cool2Craft]

Painter's caulk is what I used in the middle and on top for the frosting. ~ Candace

[@ThePantomimeDame]

Fantastic, Thank you for sharing this.

[@GypsieT17]

I would have liked the to see the chocolate one finished, It looked good enough th actually eat 😋💕

[@sherylldupuis4330]

Did you use silicone or calk. They are different. Your cake is beautiful. Was going to try this a few years ago and didnt get to it. Thank you for sharing. Awesome. Ontario,canada. ❤️

[@Cool2Craft]

Candace uses pre-colored caulking on her cake slices.

[@raysacerati]

Thanks for sharing ❤

[@Cool2Craft]

You are so welcome

[@Cool2Craft]

Ooh! Cool idea!

[@alposchannel4647]

I learned about this somewhere else (Tumblr?) and have successfully sent cake through the mail. Your version is a little different, and helpful. The 'sprinkles' are a clever twist. I'm curious who came up with the idea. Are you the originator?

[@revmudbug]

I'm not the originator. I just added the sprinkles. Thank you!

[@joellenjohnson8186]

Love that idea thank you for sharing

[@Cool2Craft]

Thanks Jo Ellen!

[@SugarRayCrafts]

[@sweetremission2658]

[@Cool2Craft]

[@Cool2Craft]

The faux icing is caulking. You can click on the on-line project tutorial link in the video description above. [Tiffany]

[@revmudbug]

[@connie1166]

Candace Jedrowicz how do you cut the sponge to look like a slice of cake

[@cosmicfrillsradio]

how would you make whipped cream?

[@Cool2Craft]

Thank you! ~ Candace

[@Cool2Craft]

Thank you!

[@misha2197]

[@jennifermata6144]

If we don’t have a saw, is there another way to cut the sponge 🧽?

[@girllovesmakeup111]

[@lifestylewithsafa5880]

Very nice mam:-)

[@Cool2Craft]

Thanks!

[@chimayogem6937]

You are so much fun!

[@vanessalabrie1807]

I got 2 questions. First one, what kind of paint do you use to paint those sponge? And secondly, I want to make a fake cake a little bit like these, but I want it to ''stand up'', not laying on the plate like these. Without the post card, Do you think the cake should be okay? ( I want to make the base larger too, it might help...) Thank you :)

[@revmudbug]

I used acrylic paint applied with a big brush, but you can use a spray paint, as well. You control the size of the cake slice. A wider backside will make it stand nicely. Have fun! ~Candace

[@vanessalabrie1807]

Thanks a lot :)

[@18Jed]

can i use poster paint instead? I don't have acrylic paint. thanks

[@Cool2Craft]

We really recommend a quality acrylic paint for this project :)

[@kaylanicol333]

Why do you need the postcard?

[@goodiesandbountiesasual3035]

[@kristenperry1]

This is genious would make a great thing to send

[@candyalyssa]

Nice!

[@RH-rz9tp]

Instead of using a saw to cut the sponge, try an electric knife like the one you carve a turkey with. Works wonders, cheap to buy & is easy to handle.

[@dollspetscraftsohmy]

If you leave the paper of they are homade squishies

[@Cool2Craft]

There are definitely lots of different uses for the sponges Lauren Paisley :)

If you wet your finger you can wipe it and it wont stick when Im at work we spit on our finger. You only get one or two wipes then wet your finger again ;-)
