IS IT CAKE?! Hyper-realistic EXOTIC FRUIT CAKES! Pineapple, Papaya and Mango!| How to Cake It|

Hey, cake crew! Get ready for a taste of the tropics as we whip up THREE exotic hyper-realistic fruit cakes together - mango, pineapple, and papaya 🥭🍍🥭 I've been feeling inspired ever since my recent trip to the Caribbean Baking Awards, so today, we're bringing those island vibes inside our kitchen. 🌴🍰
Speaking of "inside" , there's a very unique twist with these three cakes - we're not just making them look like fruits on the outside, we're making sure they're as realistic as possible on the inside too! 🎂 To pull it all off, we're using a mix of fondant, chocolate, piping gel, and gumpaste.
And here's a cool trick: I'm coloring our vanilla cake batter to match the vibrant colors of the fruits. Plus, I've got a real fruit model handy to make sure I nail every detail!
So grab your apron and let's dive into this fruity baking adventure together. Trust me, you won't want to miss out on these tropical treats! 🥭🍍🥭 #cake #baking #fruit #tropical #HowToCakeIt"

If you could only eat ONE fruit for the rest of your life, what would it be? No cheating... go 👇🏽

[@mazycklb2296]

Papaya. It takes the least time to produce fruit and has the most seeds so that I can grow more trees 😊

[@earthangelic278]

Pineapples

Those exotic fruit shaped cakes look so delectably delicious the real exotic fruits. 😋 I would pick to eat mango everyday for life.🥭 Have an amazing weekend, Yolanda and HTCI crew.😎❤

[@HowToCakeIt]

Thank you!! Have a wonderful weekend too!!

[@cakehouse.]

Looks absolutely delicious 😋

[@HowToCakeIt]

They were soooo delicious! You've gotta try them

[@HowToCakeIt]

Oh wow this is a first! I haven't heard anyone list cantaloupe or honeydew as their favorite but you surprised me and I like that!

[@ccfree8228]

Neither are my favorite, but I'm one of the few people that I know who enjoys both honeydew and canteloupe. Out of the three in this video though, I'd choose pineapple.

[@MaureenDrees]

I appreciate how carefully you examine the fruits and think about what techniques and materials you will use to replicate them so exactly. I also wanted to let you know what a pretty sweater you picked out for the interview and how well it suits you.

[@HowToCakeIt]

Thank you Maureen for your thoughtful comment! I appreciate you taking time to notice my attention to detail - and my sweater color. Had to play up the tropical theme!! 🤗

[@melissadelaney8117]

Mango! 🥭 ❤❤❤❤

[@NitzanB241]

Love those highlights❤ honestly if I could would live on fruits only it would be a dream but if I had to pick one it would be cantaloupe, honey dew is incredible - breakfast lunch and dinner🍽️🤩

Out of the three fruits you made if I want to choose one to eat for the rest of my life definitely it's mango 🥭 ❤

[@HowToCakeIt]

What about overall? Fave fruit

[@midnightorchid9731]

I love your realalistic cakes! Everything about them is realistic. Outside, inside, right down to the flavour. You take the time to do it all! The whole thing is realisit, not just the outside lol 🍍🍰💚💛🧡💗

[@HowToCakeIt]

Thank you for noticing this! Yes! I'm talking about this on IG today!

Mum and I talking about durian being the king of tropical fruit, and now I’d love to see you cake a durian!!

[@HowToCakeIt]

[@nicolebaker3738]

I love fruit, definitely can’t choose just one between 🥭 and 🍍. The cakes look awesome as always!

[@HowToCakeIt]

Papaya continues to be left out haha

[@AmbrishaRamsook]

Pineapple 🍍and🥭 are favourite. 🍍Is the best fruit. I don't like papaya but i prefer the cake version 😂😂😂😂. Tip for you Yolanda, you can wrap the half ripe papaya with newspapers so it can ripe faster and get juicy papaya. Jus keep checking the fruit so it doesn't get overripe ❤❤❤

[@HowToCakeIt]

I know about the oven trick for ripening but haven't heard of the newspaper one. Thanks for sharing I'll try that!

[@taramyers7857]

I make it a point to watch Yolanda and HTCI Team on my SmartTV. Yolanda you're such an incredible baker and cake designer looking on my phone doesn't do your talents justice. I have to catch every detail. Your Caribbean Roots were truly showcased in this episode.❤❤❤🍍🥭🇧🇿🇧🇿

[@HowToCakeIt]

This is the sweetest comment!!! Thank you so much!! I love that you watch on your smart TV!! 😂

[@taramyers7857]

[@HowToCakeIt]

You found a copy of layer up - yay!!! Where did you find it? I know it's sold out online. Please tag me on IG to show me what you make!

[@Maddycici]

[@shortey8422]

All three are beautiful and so realistic. I think I'd choose pineapple 🍍 first and then papaya. All three are delicious though. Grilled pineapple is really tasty. 🤤

[@HowToCakeIt]

Mmmm yes I agree! Grilled pineapple is sooo delicious!

[@stephanieparker2135]

I love your cake videos so much. If I had to pick a single fruit It would have to be a citrus of some kind because I feel like they are the most versatile.

[@HowToCakeIt]

Sooo happy you love our videos!! That makes me and the the team so happy!! Citrus - yes!

[@District4Studios]

You should cake more fruits! Maybe a Blueberry? A Pear even? There's so many fruits to cake!

[@HowToCakeIt]

Pear is one our list!!

My favorites fruits are : 🥭, 🍓,🍌, 🍍, 🍑 , 🥥... etc!

[@HowToCakeIt]

Mango seems to be a lot more popular than I thought. I mean I LOVE mango too but I'm shocked at how many others like you say it's their top fruit

[@salonirai5413]

All the fruits you have caked are awesome, who can forget Walter. Though I think that the mango was too flat towards the bottom, had it been more curved it would have been difficult differentiate from a real one. Being said, you are amazing.❤❤❤❤❤ The only fruit that is can eat for rest of the life, it would be MANGO.

[@HowToCakeIt]

Mango seems to be everyone's favorite. I love the inside of the mango and how it sliced. I need to still Cake a pear!!

Cakes nice but Zoeys Fancy Cakes and Cake Step By Step is the bomb. You need to do more challenging cake designs

[@HowToCakeIt]

Zoey is awesome and super talented. My style is a little different and the purpose of this channel is to teach people how to do these cakes themselves so I make sure to have cakes that are more accessible and easy to attempt.

Hello Yolanda, I use the enjoy your channel but now you are not the same person you are now all about money, please check your self

[@HowToCakeIt]

I'm curious as to why you have this impression? There is nothing in this video - or any of the videos in the last few months promoting or selling anything at all. Just free content thats meant to inspire people to bake and cake and spread joy and laughter. We also create videos of cakes that are more accessible and easy for people To make themselves Vs just watch. So Im sure why you have this impression and I'm genuinely curious as to why you think this? Money is an important tool to grow a business and continue to grow and help others, and as women I think it's important we are aware of this, but money has never been a primary motivator for me

[@MsPissOnMe]

Mango all the way!
