Wilton luster dust isn't very vibrant. What brand luster dust did you use and did you color the horn fondant yellow before you painted it?

Happy B-day to your friend

[@ATTHESPEEDOFLIFE]

Thank you! 🤗

[@pew9277]

[@larm9728]

Jana what brand are your cake pans you used??? They look like good quality. The last cake pans I bought get stuck and burn bottom.

[@ATTHESPEEDOFLIFE]

I love my cake pans. I use Fat Daddios. I linked the pans in the description if you want to check them out. Thanks for watching! 🤗

[@jessyahmed3114]

Wow jana. So pretty unicorn cake I liked. .as usual everything looks quick and easy but I'm sure it's take a lot of work. You are amazing bakers. Thanks for sharing this with us and happy birthday to her.. With all love from me to u Jasmine :-)

[@ATTHESPEEDOFLIFE]

Thank you so much Jasmine! 🤗

[@paradisecarr6160]

Lol the Technique you use to smooth your buttercream ! Do you semi wet the paper towel??

[@stephaniehunt1716]

This looks adorable ! Did you chill your cake before smoothing it with the Viva ?

[@ATTHESPEEDOFLIFE]

Yes! It only works after the frosting has crusted. Thanks for watching! 🤗

[@charliealmm]

While you used cling film for your icing how did you get the noble in

[@24Klaw]

Beautiful job.

[@ATTHESPEEDOFLIFE]

Thank you so much! 🤗

[@awinner4life]

Nice. Wish you had shown how you made the fondant pieces.

[@gracecabral7015]

Great cake , luv your videos !! What are those ribbons u wrap around the cake pan ???

[@ATTHESPEEDOFLIFE]

Thank you so much! Those are called baking strips, you soak them in cold water so it keeps the top of the pan cool while baking so the cake will rise evenly. I linked them in the description if you want to see what they are. Thanks for watching! 🤗

[@gracecabral7015]

AT THE SPEED OF LIFE thank you !!

[@nargis1055]

May I ask what brand of icing you used? I want to get a smooth finish so I'm debating on the icings.

[@ATTHESPEEDOFLIFE]

I used Wilton decorators icing. The trick is to ice and smooth the best you can then refrigerate until it crusts then gently use a paper towel to smooth even more. 🤗

[@ashleyharley8821]

What brand of icing are you using? I’m attempting one of these for my daughters birthday but I want to make sure I’m buying the right type of icing for decorating.

[@ATTHESPEEDOFLIFE]

I used Wilton’s decorating icing in the big tub. I get it at Walmart or Michaels. Have fun and happy birthday to your daughter! 🤗

[@sairaanwar786]

U r an amazing lady...u love your house and u care for your family....u r a true representative of a true feminine feeling for her family... your family is lucky to have such a loyal mom with them...God bless you...❤❤❤❤

[@stephaniesuarez6287]

Do you remember what exact cake you bought and what flavor ? Also does it make a difference with greasing the cake pan and then lining it with flour? I see a lot of people do that.

[@ATTHESPEEDOFLIFE]

I think it was a Duncan Hines. I believe they chose vanilla. I used to use grease and flour. I think it works either way. Thanks for watching! 🤗

[@cherylgibson7366]

Absolutely beautiful.

[@ATTHESPEEDOFLIFE]

Thank you Cheryl! 🤗

[@denise.n583]

Hi !!!!! Pretty. What pipping tool number was that & what did you use to mix with the vodka to make it Gold ? 😊

[@ATTHESPEEDOFLIFE]

The tip was 1M and I got gold food powder. Everything is linked in the description if you would like 🤗

[@krystalbeltran6357]

Did you make the icing yourself or buy it from somewhere? Last time I tried to make buttercream frosting, it didn't turn out so well...

[@ATTHESPEEDOFLIFE]

I just bought it. It's Wilton decorators icing. I get it at Walmart or Michael's 🤗

[@teresa3705]

wow! great job! fantastica!👏👏👏😍😘🎉🎊🎉

[@ATTHESPEEDOFLIFE]

Thank you so much! 🤗

[@brbrvctrb]

[@ATTHESPEEDOFLIFE]

Thank you for watching in Brazil! 🤗

[@lloving21]

I'm making a unicorn cake for my granddaughter this weekend. I'm wondering how much buttercream you used and how tall it was? I'm making a 7 layer rainbow cake.

[@ATTHESPEEDOFLIFE]

How wonderful! Happy birthday to your granddaughter. It was maybe 3-4 pounds of icing it ended up being around 12” high after all the icing layers. 🤗

[@caitlinmalin7574]

[@yasaminbanki7386]

You are so talented.What were those bands you put them round the cake pans?

[@ATTHESPEEDOFLIFE]

Those are baking strips, you soak them in cold water and wrap the top of the pan so the cake rises evenly. I linked them in the description if you want to check them out. 🤗

[@yasaminbanki7386]

AT THE SPEED OF LIFE ohhhhh,thank you very much.🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@latoyabest8835]

Thank you so much for watching in Colombia 🤗

[@akersley88]

This looks fantastic!!! I am making a unicorn this weekend for my boyfriends daughters 5th birthday...they are a big thing in her world right now! I have to ask though, did you dampen the paper towel before you patted the icing or was it still dry? I think that must give such a great smooth finish!

[@ATTHESPEEDOFLIFE]

I am so sorry I didn't see your comment sooner. I got sick then left on vacation. Anyway, the paper towel was dry. I hope your cake came out amazing! 🤗

[@trifabakr266]

Happy birthday and the cake is very nice you are the beste KZbinr

[@ATTHESPEEDOFLIFE]

Thank you so much! 🤗

[@lynxsjerez7122]

[@bethbebinger3365]

GREAT JOB, Mama!!!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 XOXOXO 💖 💖 💖

[@ATTHESPEEDOFLIFE]

Thank you Beth! 🤗

[@sandrab2422]

How often did you refrigerate while crumb coating? I noticed you had your piping bag on the counter, didn’t that get too soft to make the flowers? How about the warmth of your hands? It’s beautiful!,,, my fridge is small I have no idea (other than having an empty ref. for this project in order to keep the frosting cool. Oh, and do you buy frosting? That’s ingenious! I live in Germany and make my own, that takes a lot work.

[@ATTHESPEEDOFLIFE]

I refrigerate after crumb, then again for a long while before smoothing. The bought icing is great when you’re in a pinch for time. Of course homemade is always tastier, but sometimes I got to do what I got to do. 🤗

[@kendrab.4433]

So cool, like I said when I first subscribed to your channel, you're my SHERO!!!!!

[@ATTHESPEEDOFLIFE]

I love it Kendra! I told my husband too and he agrees, shero! 🤗

[@millybaez8888]

Oh wow love it ,really nice,👍👍👍

[@ATTHESPEEDOFLIFE]

Thank you so much Milagros! 🤗

[@rajeshridevchand6714]

Amazing

[@ATTHESPEEDOFLIFE]

Thank you 🤗

[@janjaf844]

What were those 3 things you put into all 3 layers before covering with icing? I'm imagining it's something to hold all 3 layers together? I looked in description and didn't see, sorry if it's been asked

[@ATTHESPEEDOFLIFE]

They are for stability of the cake. Thanks for watching 🤗

[@jaquelinearaujo2564]

Ficou mágico 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@ATTHESPEEDOFLIFE]

Thank you so much Jaqueline! 🤗

[@saanvigupta4098]

Please tell witch nozell you yoused

[@sandraareias2871]

Wow! What are those ribbons you put around the cake pan? I’ve never seen it!

[@ATTHESPEEDOFLIFE]

Those are baking strips. Just soak them in cold water and wrap the top of your pan so the cake will bake evenly. They work great! There is a link in the description if you want to check them out. Thanks for watching! 🤗

[@sandraareias2871]

AT THE SPEED OF LIFE will do. Thank you!

[@mahtabyousefi7635]

Hey what is the name of the brand that you used for the icing out from the bucket? Do you recommend that icing?

[@ATTHESPEEDOFLIFE]

I used Wilton decorators icing. It's pretty good when you don't have the time to make your own. 🤗

[@anapaulaborelominosso2456]

Como sempre vc arrasando amiga nota 1000000,jana me tira uma duvida vcs nao colocam recheio no bolo?aqui no Brasil a gente sempre coloca recheio na massa do bolo bjsss

[@ATTHESPEEDOFLIFE]

What do you put in the cakes? I just put frosting in the layers. Thanks for watching! 🤗

[@anapaulaborelominosso2456]

AT THE SPEED OF LIFE oiii jana amo assistir vc ,Deus abencoe sempre ,olha nos assamos os bolos normal e recheamos com brigadeiro ou creme de confeiteiro e depois fazemos as decoracoes de cobertura assim como vc ....bjs amiga ❤❤❤

[@BetullaGdR]

Ana, se hace difícil traducir si usas abreviaturas en las palabras.... Jana, en Argentina también rellenamos de otra manera. Yo, por ejemplo, relleno cada capa de distinto sabor. Pueden ser los siguientes: crema con durazno, dulce de leche, mousse de chocolate, crema con pedacitos de chocolate, crema mantecol, dulce de leche y merengues, étc...

[@BetullaGdR]

Ahh!! Y las capas más finas. Es decir, cortamos la torta en dos o tres capas y rellenamos...

[@megankranis4696]

Beautiful

[@ATTHESPEEDOFLIFE]

Thank you Megan! 🤗

[@lcolsen22]

What are those things you wrap around the cake pans?

[@ATTHESPEEDOFLIFE]

They are called baking strips. You wet them and wrap the pan so the center of the cake doesn’t over rise too much. There is a link in the description to see what it is. Thanks for watching! 🤗

[@edaa7134]

😍😍çok güzel oldu 👍🏻
