It may have been common sense, but the tip to not just drag the exacto knife and cut it all the way was so helpful. I always do that and mess up my fondant, so thank you for that. 💖💖 I mostly work with buttercream, but I do add fondant details so I still like to learn about working with it!!! This cake is Amazing!!!💚💚💚👏👏👏

[@BeeRavie]

Amazing!!! Quick question…. If you put a ribbon on the actual cake what can you use that won’t soak through??

[@KarolynsKakes]

I usually put some piping gel on the very back of the cake, stretch the ribbon around the cake, and then put some more piping gel on top of the end of the ribbon that's already on the cake to seal the other end. So there's only piping gel in the very back. I hope that makes sense!

I saw where you sprayed the countertop when using the airbrush. Is it an easy clean or does it take time? I just bought a Kopy Kake airbrush machine and can hardly wait to use it. I love watching your videos. For what you do, you need to charge lots of money!! See you on the next video!

[@KarolynsKakes]

The color stains if you don't clean it up quickly. Soap and water does the trick, also Windex is good as well! If it stains, I wait until I'm done cakes for the week, the I use soft scrub with bleach to get the stains out. You can always put paper towels underneath whatever you're spraying to help prevent it from staining. So excited for you to use your new machine, it really is the best!🙌

[@emmcd7921]

Amazing cake! Specially using buttercream, it looks nice. I always decorate my cakes with Whipping cream. Do you have a buttercream recipe that is not too sweet or buttery taste.

[@KarolynsKakes]

This is what I do when people ask for less sweet buttercream. It is still sweeter than a meringue buttercream, but not as sweet as regular American Buttercream! kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4Gbkop9e7lnd5o

This is so cute!!! Have you considered using the chocolate rocks you can get at Hobby Lobby for the stones? Also, has anyone asked you before about using a different medium besides fondant to do these shapes...such as modeling chocolate?

[@KarolynsKakes]

I don't have a Hobby Lobby near me, so I haven't seen these stones. But you absolutely can do something like that! And no one has asked me to use modeling chocolate. I used it once before (I can't remember what for). But I prefer fondant because it won't melt and I'm so used to working with it! Do you prefer modeling chocolate?

[@sarahgrullon3486]

Karolyn! This is awesome! Question though..how do you know how to achieve certain shades? For example, the green fondant had leaf green and also some yellow and black. How did you know to put those colors together to get this shade? I’m new to this and I have a color wheel for my gel food colors and it helps to show me what colors to use but I wouldn’t be able to match a picture by free styling it. Hope my question makes sense lol

[@KarolynsKakes]

Thanks girl! I guess maybe I'm good at looking at a color and breaking it down. Straight leaf green is too green for me. So I usually add a little yellow to warm it up. And a teeny bit of black will darken your colors. I have a few videos on me mixing colors. (Navy blue, hot pink, and there may be another one.) I'll try to make more! I'm sure there would be videos on here about mixing colors together. Probably a painting channel?

[@Flyingangelskevin]

Hi we’re do you get all the drawings from x

[@antoyaellis4063]

How far in advance would you recommend to make fondant decorations? For fondant decorations To be applied on cake? And for fondant decorations to be applied as topper?

[@KarolynsKakes]

I make them between 1-5 days in advance. If I need them to dry hard (like a topper that needs to stand on its own), I will make it 4-5 days in advance. I either store them flat at room temp if I want them to dry flat. Or I will store them on a cake dummy (at room temp) the size of the cake it's going on so it can dry with a curve to it. If I want it to stay pliable, I will store it in a ziplock bag. I hope that helps!
