That’s a GREAT tutorial! Going to be working on my first car cake and this helped me tremendously! Thank You!!❤

Bonjour la crème c quoi pour que ça tienne la pâte a sucre merci

[@ArtCakes]

Hello. We use American buttercream to crumb-coat the cake, which helps the sugar paste to stick to the cake. To stick the sugar paste to each other, we use a little water. Hope this helps.🙂 Merci 🧡

[@AusFastLife]

Such amazing deft movements! How cool are those circular cutters for the tail lights!! And how you do the detail on the weels! You are amazing. Can I ask, what did you paint the windshield with?

[@ArtCakes]

Just water. Just not too much otherwise it will slide. Not wet, Just enough to make it tacky. If you have placed too much, just dab it with a piece of paper towel or tissue and you're good to go. You are welcome to ask any question you'd like. Glad to help and thanks for watching.

Loved your beautiful fondant cake. Please tell me how to use fondant in hot and humid weather,it becomes sticky and difficult to work on it. Please help

[@ArtCakes]

It is a bit difficult to work on fondant in hot and humid weather. Ironically, in our experience it's also a bit difficult to work on fondant when it is raining. Best thing to do is work on fondant in an air conditioned room, but if this is not possible, you would need to use a lot of constarch an be able to work on it fast.

Hi love your work. Plz let me what did you use to adhere the Foundant

[@ArtCakes]

As to covering the whole cake with fondant, I did not have to put any coz the fondant would stick to the buttercream crumbcoating. On the other hand, I brush a thin layer of water to stick fondant to fondant.

[@ghaneijuliet8939]

This is amazing 😍! Job well done 👍! I never thought I could attempt such cake but with the help of this your video, I think I can 🙏🏻

[@ArtCakes]

Thank you. I'm sure you can. You can also choose the car model you want. Just search for the car model's template on Google and print it according to the size you are making.

[@nourmerei3727]

Hi, your work is awesome but did you lift the car a little from the bottom?

[@ArtCakes]

Thank you. No, I did not lift the car a little. I just made a slanted trim of the edge inwards(around 8 mm from the board) creating a little space from the outer edge and the board. It becomes more emphasized after covering it with fondant 'coz then you cut the fondant a few millimeters above the board making it look like its above ground.

[@ishakabra439]

You covered the cake with whipped cream or white chocolate ganache?

[@ArtCakes]

I used buttercream for its final shape and then covered it with fondant.

[@reni5200]

Can we keep this cake in refrigerator?

[@ArtCakes]

Yes, you may refrigerate it. But take note that in humid times, condensation happens. Fondant will be moist once removed from the ref.

[@dawnhickman5604]

I know you've said you free handedly drew the original template, but can you tell me roughly, what make of car this is please? You are an absolutely brilliant cake artist.

[@ArtCakes]

[@mosarratjahan6788]

How much time did it take you to make this masterpiece

[@ArtCakes]

By my estimate, probably around 3 to 4 hours. That is, from carving the cake to until its completely done. The detailing is what actually takes more of the time. I think when I made one for the first time, it took me the whole day. About 8 hours or probably more. Back then I had to carve it free hand without stencils so it took quite long.

What did you use for the silver details? and the tail lights? but more the silver details, did you use edible glitter or airbrush food coloring? or ????

Hi. For the tail lights, I used red fondant. Normally, for the silver details, I'd use silver airbrush food coloring or silver non toxic luster dust (or highlighter) mixed with gin(or vodka). Since I ran out of both, for this car cake, I actually, used pearl sheen airbrush food coloring mixed with a tiny bit of black airbrush food color. Just enough to make it silver. So either of these 3 options would do. I hope this helps.

I did not chill this one before carving it but you may. It's actually easier to carve if it's chilled 'coz there is resistance. The knife wouldn't have to deal with the soft or cushion property of the cake when slicing.

[@shazninaroos1292]

May I know How many gms of cake was used for this? N was it colouring u used to Paint glass or was it royal icing?

[@ArtCakes]

I used a 10 x 10 inch baking pan for this cake. I'm not sure how many grams but the volume is approximately one and a half of the usual recipe volume. For the black that I painted the windshields, I used food coloring for airbrush.

[@jia2014.]

The fondant that you covered the cake with, was it done one day prior. I mean all the fondant work can we do one day prior and keep?

[@ArtCakes]

The fondant we currently use, including the one we used for this car cake, are ready to roll fondant commercially available. Although, at the time when we still make our own fondant, we do make them a day before we're going to use them to allow it time to firm up to our liking. Plus, the weather plays a big role. It's usually a disaster if it rains. Ready to roll fondant made it easier for us.

And yes, other fondant work, like the wheels and the spoiler can be done a day or two ahead of time.

I'm not sure about the liquid red though. I don't have liquid red at the moment.

If you mean mixing red food color on white fondant, you can. But in my experience it's quite difficult to get it really red.
