Hi Bernadette! Thank you so much for watching! :)

[@marlenaf1562]

Love your cake... You make it looks so easy. Can you tell me what is the fondant you use?

[@angelamcdaniel793]

Luv this, such a cute cake idea!

[@nievesmoreno7383]

Hi Laura, thank you so much for posting videos! I've learn so much with them and they have helped me to be better at cakes.... I made your bow and the tapit letters tip was great! So I was just wondering when you do this doesn't the fondant crack up on you? Any tip if that happens? Kind regadrs from Panama!

[@krazykoolcakes]

Hi Nieves! You are very welcome! So glad you like our videos and you feel they have helped you. That's awesome! I would highly recommend not using fondant. Rather, use gumpaste instead to avoid your cracking. :)

[@MonicaLopez-ot2lp]

Hi Laura, & Arie, Awesome tutorial! Thanks so much for sharing. I have a question. What kind of mat are are you using to roll out the fondant?

You're very welcome Monica! We use an Ateco silicone mat. :)

Hello Laura and Arnie thank you so much for showing us how to make these beautiful cakes. I wanted to ask you what brand of fondant do you use?

[@krazykoolcakes]

Hi Carolina! We like the following brands in order: Fondx, Fondarrific, and Satin Ice. :)

[@krazykoolcakes]

It's our pleasure making these videos for you! Thank you for watching! :)

Hi Laura and Arnie - first off, you guys rock. Secondly, how thick are you rolling out the fondant to make the skirt? And do you have any tips on preventing elephant skin due to high humidity? I live in Houston and it’s usually 70% humidity and it’s not even raining!!

[@krazykoolcakes]

Hi Marjory! Thank you so much! I roll it out to 1/8th of an inch. Elephant skin is usually due to dryness and not humidity. Usually elephant skin happens when people make the mistake of using shortening on their hands when working with fondant. If you're not using shortening, then if your fondant is TOO soft, make sure to sprinkle a tiny bit of cornstarch into it and knead to dry it out a bit. I hope that helps! :)

[@MarjoryLoebe]

[@krazykoolcakes]

[@ms.nolovelost3053]

Whst kind of fondant do you use on your cakes

[@Cakescake252]

Such a sweet cake

[@krazykoolcakes]

Thank you Carla! :)

[@TheMlleBinette]

How do you prevent the fondant from drying while you measure it?

[@damikacrenshaw2651]

Too cute!!!

[@laceyb89]

Do you guys have your frosting recipe/tutorial somewhere? Thanks!

[@krazykoolcakes]

No, sorry. :)

[@rominabronstein9147]

Como prevenir que el fondant sufra rajaduras por el peso que se le impone al quedar suspendido? Le agragan CMC?... A veces cuando hago tortas y esoy forrando el fondant se quiebra justo en el borde entonces trato de eliminar excedentes en forma casi inmediata para que no sea muy pesada la capa lateral hasta que la termino de aplanar. Se entiende mi pregunta Laura? Será porque es muy húmedo Buenos Aires???? Te agradezco la respuesta y amo tus tutoriales!! Besos Genia!!!!!

[@krazykoolcakes]

El fondant no sufre de eso para nada. No se le agrega nada en absoluto. Quiza si sea por la humedad. Gracias! :)

[@rominabronstein9147]

Gracias Laura, confirmo que es la humedad entonces... en mi ciudad a veces es simplemente demasiado humedo el clima y cuando hace calor sólo podes conservar las tortas decoradas en un ambiente con aire acondicionado... Creo que voy a esperar el invierno para realizar esta tecnica. Mil gracias... Besos y muchas felicitaciones por lo que estan logrando!!!!!

[@mryoukostya]

Great at usual)))

[@krazykoolcakes]

Thank you! :)

[@R.G.LovesBooks]

Do you refrigerate all your cakes

[@krazykoolcakes]

Yes, All of them. :)

[@margaritaruiz5718]

I love it!!! You said that the cake was straight from the fridge... My questions is when I try to fondant my cake from the fridge it bubbles on the sides. Why is that? Oh I forgot to mention that I'm learning how to work with fondant and I have to thank you....I live your work! Please help me!

[@krazykoolcakes]

Thank you Daisey! Yes, straight out of the fridge. I believe that any little bubbles you get between your fondant and icing right after covering in fondant, might be due to just trapped air while you were covering in fondant. Try smearing a tiny bit of shortening all around your iced cake before you cover in fondant to make sure all the fondant is stuck and that way you don't trap air. :) Hope that helps! :)

[@kimberlythompson6970]

Seems like your cutting and measuring process is long and tedious. Would you think that a pin/skewer with a thread tied to it and something to score the fondant would be a faster way to get your circle? Then there is no measuring all the way around and you already have your center marked. Great tutorials though. I have learned so many little tricks from you two.

[@marivargas6005]

Kimberly French i agree...

[@nelle541]
