POPCORN BUCKET CAKE WITH FONDANT POPCORN!

[@KarolynsKakes]

Do you have a different technique to make popcorn? I'd love to know what you do!

[@casadulce6340]

I’ve used mini marshmallows and made random cuts in them with mini scissors, then I painted the centers lightly with brown and yellow! 😉

[@KarolynsKakes]

@@casadulce6340 OMG yes!! I totally forgot about that, I have done that before! And I actually used real popcorn a few times LOL

[@jsecakes]

@@casadulce6340 That's my technique too.😊

[@debireyes3076]

I use popcorn covered in white candy melts. Then use the airbrush to give them more definition.

[@odiecutex3]

I have been watching your videos since 6pm and it's now midnight 😅 your attention to detail is amazing! If you don't mind me asking typically how long does it take you to complete an order from baking the cakes to decorating?

[@KarolynsKakes]

Thank you! I would say it's between 4-20 hours per cake depending on the size and detail. And try to get some sleep! LOL

[@adrienneklinko-uj4mv]

[@punkynoodle9370]

Unbelievable!! I’m wondering how long it took you to put it all together from beginning to end? Amazing!!

[@KarolynsKakes]

I'm starting to share total time of creation in my videos...that cake was really detailed and probably took 10-12 hours just to decorate! Then add another 3 hours or so to bake, fill, ice.

[@ritag.3718]

Bellísimo

[@ChristinesBackyardGarden]

Karolyn, you are an amazing teacher and your cakes are beautiful. I dread working with fondant, but yours look smooth and velvety. Can you share what brand of fondant you use?

[@KarolynsKakes]

Hi Chris! I make marshmallow fondant. Here is how I get it to a good consistency! kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4u3hGSBpKeojs0

[@rhondabrasier7004]

I love watching your videos your cakes as well as your tips are wonderful. Thank you for sharing. I have a tip for you, did you ever consider doing the popcorn with marshmallows? I was did a carnival themed party and used marshmallows. I sniped one end with scissors and painted them a buttery yellow. Saves alot of time

[@KarolynsKakes]

I have done that before, it's super easy! The customer wanted the fondant look though. When I first started making popcorn cakes, I would use actual popcorn LOL

[@esijaeger7667]

Wonderful work done 🎉thanks for sharing. Please how much will one pay for this kind of cake?

[@sonjawinkler32]

American cakes are so much different than austrian cakes.Our layers are much thinner and we use so many different fillings. We don't like so much dough🙃Anyway ,the cake looks cool!

[@KarolynsKakes]

Thank you! Yes, it's interesting how much they differ depending on location!

You’re welcome 😊

[@hanginwithwilliam]

Can you use parchment paper to smooth if you don't have Viva paper towels?

[@luvnlife135]

Love it! One question: Since popcorn is edible, could you use real popcorn? Possibly like a caramel corn, so it is more durable. I'm just curious since it would be a hugh time saver. Thanks.

[@KarolynsKakes]

You definitely can, I used to do that before I learned how to make it out of fondant. (I just prefer the look of fondant popcorn, that's why I do it this way now.)

[@BeeRavie]

i feel like im bombarding all your videos lol. quick question; crisco vs piping gel to adhere fondant..... i feel like ive seen you use both. under which circumstances would you use one vs the other? thanks

[@KarolynsKakes]

No worries! I use crisco when I need the ability to adjust the pieces into the right place. So if I am doing something like stripes, most of the time I will use crisco because once I put them on the cake, I can adjust them into place. It's not as strong of a hold as piping gel as the pieces could easily be moved out of place. (So if a kid gets a hold of the cake, they could easily peel pieces off.) I use piping gel or water when I want it to stick really well. I hope that makes sense!

[@lyndaedwards4628]

Hi Karolyn are you using the same buttercream to cover the cake as you use to fill the cake, as you mention crusting buttercream.... Also im trying to make white buttercream, ive changed my butter to a lighter colour also ive added a tiny bit of purple colourent but its turned light purple guess ive added too much 💜 thankyou Karolyn

[@KarolynsKakes]

Hey Lynda! Yes, I use the same Buttercream to fill the cake. And you did add too much purple, you only need a TEEEENY bit!

[@rearichardson5780]

May i ask what you would charge for all that beautiful work on the popcorn cake??

[@yummycakes4422]

Hello thank you for sharing your ideas Can you make video to show how to put tall cake in regular cake box and save cake lids , as You said you save ,but wondering how you cover ??😊 I saw you are using crisco shorting under fondant ,dose this technique work will all kind of fondant or only marshmallow fondant?

[@KarolynsKakes]

In this video I show you how I prepare and wrap the cake in the box: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4u3hGSBpKeojs0 The crisco under the fondant can work for any kind of fondant!

[@tkeyahduke4927]

Super dope! I love your page and content!! what size dowel do you typically use?

[@KarolynsKakes]

Thank you! I use 5/16" dowels. I usually get them at the hardware store, but I also linked them in the description below so you can see the size. :)

[@michaelacolorsandcreates4030]

Where do you get your sights? Like the pop corn logo

[@KarolynsKakes]

Look in the description, I have a link to the popcorn logo! You can also Google "Popcorn word" and search images and see what pops up!

[@michaelacolorsandcreates4030]

@@KarolynsKakes awesome thank you

[@mariarugolo2487]

Do you have a link for the dowell you used to put thru both cakes?

[@KarolynsKakes]

I just put it in the description for you!

[@ODY0319]

For carving this popcorn shape bucket can you freeze it then carve it

[@KarolynsKakes]

You can, I would just recommend letting it come to room temperature after you carve it. You should ice a cake when it's at room temperature.

[@sheilasturgeon]

When I made popcorn, I used rice krispie treats and covered them in white chocolate. People said it looked pretty real.

[@KarolynsKakes]

Ooh that's a great idea! Did you roll the rice krispies into a ball?

[@brittany2532]

When you use the paper towel, is the icing frozen or cold?

[@brittany2532]

Also, when your doing the “popcorn” fondant. How do you make it not drag or snag the fondant?

[@KarolynsKakes]

I use a crusting buttercream, so the icing is room temperature and has a crust on it. I linked my video on how I ice buttercream cakes in the description, where I go into more detail!

[@KarolynsKakes]

@@brittany2532 I'm not sure what you're asking, can you clarify?

[@shirvongibbon9680]

Hi, how do you make your buttercream?

[@KarolynsKakes]

Here ya go! kzbin.info/www/bejne/f5K0fYGHib2ia6c

[@shirvongibbon9680]

Thank you so much, I really admire the love and passion you put into your work, you make everything look so very easy. I'm from Grenada in the Caribbean and when I do mix my buttercream I don't add as much liquid as you do because it's so humid here most of the time, but one day I'm hoping to be as professional as you are. Keep up the good work 👏 and thank you for sharing 🙏

[@Cakegirl485]

How much buttercream fills the kitchen aid bowl to the top. I have a 5.5 bowl and my recipe only fills it half way.

[@KarolynsKakes]

I actually make 3 batches of it and then add it all to the one bowl and whip it together to get rid of the air bubbles!

[@rtfarmboy]

I put did the paper towel and paper and the buttercream sticks on them 😩 Can you please tell me why, what am I doing wrong

[@KarolynsKakes]

Are you using American Buttercream? You must use a crusting buttercream for this method. If you ice the cake with a meringue buttercream, it doesn't crust and you'll have to use a different method. If you are using ABC, sometimes you have to let it sit for like 5 minutes before you use the towel so the icing can crust over.

How to put on lollies so they won’t tear the cake?

[@KarolynsKakes]

I just make sure I have sticks that are long enough and I push them far down into the cake so they are secure.

[@andrealynn5506]

How much did you charge for this cake...if you give out that information 🙂

[@KarolynsKakes]

I don't remember exactly, it was over $500.

[@lindakoch8406]

It came out cute. I do not have the patience to make it myself. And also did not like that she put one of the cake rounds in the edge of a dirty sink. Sorry...

[@KarolynsKakes]

It is a lengthy process! And I am diligent about cleaning my work space daily. I understand what you're saying though and can do that on a cutting board instead.

[@lanedaw811]

Just curious, do you create cake that you do t use fondant, besides the bundant cakes.

[@KarolynsKakes]

I have made a few all-buttercream cakes. Only if it's requested and I can do the designs!
