Marilyn Monroe Bubble Gum Birthday Cake by Cupcake Savvy's Kitchen

[@Heidi19961]

Absolute genius technique using the covered cake board to the top to make it easier to get a clean edge!! Beautiful cake & well done tutorial.

[@CupcakeSavvysKitchen]

Heidi Tweedell thanks!

[@giannadchristofaro6715]

I am a big fan of Marilyn Monroe my bedroom and living room is all done up with her pictures . I absolutely love this cake . Great job !

[@CupcakeSavvysKitchen]

How fabulous! Thank you :-)

[@UniqueMe27032012]

Your tips are amazing for any unprofessional baker. I keep watching your videos to get inspiration for my daughter’s birthday. Can you please do unicorn cake ?

[@CupcakeSavvysKitchen]

Thank you! :-)

[@jorgenoriega2405]

Me encantó ese pastel. Saludos desde Ecuador

[@analiamachado6038]

Beautiful! question, where you get the image without bubble gum?

[@miluskaarellanopoblete7874]

Lovely! Can I do the same on a cake covered with fondant? How?

[@Oonagh72]

This is quite lovely. I’m curious, why did you not put dowels in the cake? Or was it not heavy enough?

[@CupcakeSavvysKitchen]

Oonagh72 if I’m travelling a distance with the cake I always dowel. This particular cake wasn’t going anywhere so no dowel needed! Phew!!! The first time I made this cake I used a dowel because delivery was 40 minutes away.

[@YourFavoriateJewelrylady]

I’ve always loved this cake and wondered who made it! It’s genius!

[@CupcakeSavvysKitchen]

Melinda Rivera I’m glad you like it! The bubble gum concept is not my original idea but I love it!

[@YourFavoriateJewelrylady]

Cupcake Savvy's Kitchen your welcome! Well you did it justice!

[@marisolreyes3427]

I'm from Puerto Rico..... Our cakes are really moist and I use sirup.

[@CupcakeSavvysKitchen]

Welcome Marisol! :-)

[@dianaf.a.b.7766]

Very pretty roses i love your technique .. it's easy .. and the overall design is wonderful .. thank you 🌸🌸🌸

[@CupcakeSavvysKitchen]

Diana Al Hussaini you’re welcome! Thank you for the lovely feedback :-)

[@daliarose8255]

So in love with this cake would love to make it for my daughter Monroe!

[@CupcakeSavvysKitchen]

That would be wonderful!

[@vfuifui]

You’re daughter name is Monroe?

[@blessymat]

Hi l love all your videos ur such a good teacher! I would like ur advice for a wedding cake. Im doing it for first time and kinda nervous about using a full Butter based buttercream. My fillings are goin to be different and I would like a crusting buttercream for the outside. Should I opt for a full shortening based buttercream for outer icing or half butter half shortening. Tanx a lot. Would also love a recipe for hazelnut filling for a vanilla cake. Tanx

[@angellotanna9060]

I love this tutorial especially for the sharp edge butter cream icing. 👍👍👍 well detailed

[@CupcakeSavvysKitchen]

How fabulous! :-)

[@sofiajimenez1759]

Can you put the cake back in the refrigerator after placing the sheet? when removed from the refrigerator and that it arrived at room temperature, does not spoil the image?

[@candicepearson92]

Hi I'm thinking of trying this cake out and I wanted to do it on a 9" cake...I probably would need 4 layers for height a well? Thank you.

[@CupcakeSavvysKitchen]

Yes, at est 4 layers to get the height.

[@dewittacaskey4164]

Love this tutorial. I can not find the image with the bubble already in the picture. I have tried to type. In everything I can think of, lol. Any tips, if you remember? Love the music by the way!

[@CupcakeSavvysKitchen]

All I can remember is that I had to Google my fingers off to find it! lol. If you can only find the one with the bubble it should be ok depending on how big it is because the chocolate ball will cover it.

[@dewittacaskey4164]

Thank you so much!!

[@olgieatbeach]

I am amazed! Beautiful cake!

[@CupcakeSavvysKitchen]

olgieatbeach thank you! I’m so pleased you like it :-)

[@evonnerosado]

Absolutely gorgeous cake

[@CupcakeSavvysKitchen]

Evonne Rosado thank you!

[@ariadnasantiago6317]

Que. Omito me puedes dar el link donde compras el papel comestible te lo boy agradecer 😉😉😉😉😉

[@samarofaeel4985]

Beautiful work like always 👌 can you please teach me how to make the chocolate really thin and easy to work with like yours please

[@CupcakeSavvysKitchen]

I am going to upload a video in the next few weeks showing how to thin the chocolate out to make it easier to work with and flow better. Stay tuned! :-)

[@samarofaeel4985]

Cupcake Savvy's Kitchen thank you so much

[@KarinaRodriguez-zg6we]

Good job luv how it came out...

[@CupcakeSavvysKitchen]

Thanks Karina!

[@billreilly1429]

Hello and thank you so much for the video , it has been a great help, can you tell me where you got the photo of Marlyn without the gum I cant see to find it anywhere. thank you

[@CupcakeSavvysKitchen]

It was a few months ago now so I'm not exactly sure but I just kept Googling. You can also use the one with the gum because the ball you insert will cover it.

[@thedropqueenshow]

Thank you so much but where can we find the image of Marilyn, I have searched the net. thank you

[@lynn7349]

That's just stunning, what a talent you have!

[@CupcakeSavvysKitchen]

Thank you for your kind words :-)

[@teresafalo8574]

Love it, will make it for my daughter soon.

[@CupcakeSavvysKitchen]

Fabulous!

[@aftabjaggi3628]

Hi

[@nwbnwb3905]

This is amazing this might be stupid question or not ok so Marilyn Monroe was that actually a picture that was printed out of paper orrrrrr is it made out of Fondant with that cricut cutter?

[@CupcakeSavvysKitchen]

The image has been printed on edible frosting sheets with edible ink. I got it done at my local cake decorating store.

[@nwbnwb3905]

ohhhh awesome! can cake stores actually do that for people?

[@NPPINEDA]

Absolutely beautiful!!! Where can I buy the tall bench scraper you used dear ?

[@CupcakeSavvysKitchen]

NPPINEDA I got it on eBay. If you search for tall cake scraper you should have some luck. You can also use a metal ruler. Good luck!

[@eslynnsoo2259]

Hi, for the part u let the cake sit at room temp before adding edible print, will it prevent the air bubble that forms underneath the prints?

[@CupcakeSavvysKitchen]

Unfortunately not :-( You may still get an air bubble or two. It is more likely in warm weather than cold. If you do get one, pop it the same way you would with fondant and lightly smooth it out.

[@ayeshakhanam4449]

You are simply amazing...thank you for all your tips and ideas😘😘😘

[@CupcakeSavvysKitchen]

You're welcome! I am so pleased you liked it and found it useful :-)

[@carathebaker]

Oh I've always used isomalt . . . using candy melt is the perfect solution!

[@CupcakeSavvysKitchen]

Fabulous! :-)

[@carathebaker]

No, YOU'RE fabulous!

[@safinanaz9311]

Hi nice work , I live in pakistan and over here no cake decorating store as such. How to take print of this image marlin manro pic Any link of this image ? Plz reply

[@CupcakeSavvysKitchen]

Safina Naz unfortunately I don’t have an image link. You can google it. To get it printed, you might need to order a custom print online. I’m sorry but I have no idea where you can do that for Pakistan!

[@safinanaz9311]

Cupcake Savvy's Kitchen thank U so much for reply really appreciate it , I tried on google but over there this same picture is there but with bubblegum. I need without bubble so can get print. Don’t know what to do 😂. Can u plz tell any solution So much wanna make this design. Loved it the way u did 😊. Will be looking forward for more unique design best of luck

[@5brandy8]

Omgosh! I love this! Beautiful tutorial. Thankyou so much.

[@CupcakeSavvysKitchen]

You're welcome! :-)

[@adelaidariverapena3989]

Hermoso! Por favor, me puedes decir en donde encuentro esta hermosa imagen de Marilyn? He buscado y no encuentro una igual... te agradezco

[@CupcakeSavvysKitchen]

Es difícil de encontrar. Ya no lo tengo. Puedes usar el de la burbuja porque tu bola lo cubrirá.

[@adelaidariverapena3989]

Cupcake Savvy's Kitchen Si, lo haré. Gracias por tu pronta respuesta. Saludos

[@adelaidariverapena3989]

Cupcake Savvy's Kitchen I'm happy. After so much searching I found the exact image. It is a photo taken by Bert Stern for Vogue magazine in 1962

[@marthaguzman152]

Amazing! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 God bless your hands! 🙏🏽

[@CupcakeSavvysKitchen]

Thank you Martha :-)

[@keirecekhouri3077]

Love this...what size image did you printed ?

[@CupcakeSavvysKitchen]

Keirece Khouri thank you! It was A4 then I trimmed to fit.

[@julieijomalloyd3061]

Wonderful job, could you pls tell the number &maker of the tips you used.Thank you.

[@CupcakeSavvysKitchen]

You can use any plain round tip around 1cm in width for the buttercream.

[@carlagreathouse2761]

That was a lot of fun to watch! Great job!👍🏼 Think that's what my niece is getting for her birthday.

[@CupcakeSavvysKitchen]

How fabulous! :-)

[@Eunice-il3rz]

hi, for the buttercream will it stand for a hot climate? hoping for a response. thank u

[@CupcakeSavvysKitchen]

It will go soft because of the butter. You may be better off using a white chocolate ganache.

[@sophiadali5749]

Wow je viens juste de découvrir une de t'es création quel artiste magnifique bravo❤❤

[@cutflower36]

Nice job! Where do u get the images

[@CupcakeSavvysKitchen]

They are edible images and I get them printed at either my local cake decorating store ort party supply store.

[@ingridwarnerin3289]

Is it the pictures wafer paper based ? Or fondant?

[@Muneca_xoxo]

I need to try and make this cake for myself!

[@CupcakeSavvysKitchen]

Yes!!!

[@marisolreyes3427]

Can I put card board between each cake?

[@CupcakeSavvysKitchen]

You can if you like but there is no need. Depending on how tall you make the cake, you might want to put one half way up.

[@mekethepumpkin873]

will you please tell me which type of cream you use for decorating this cake.....

[@mekethepumpkin873]

and also tell me about edible icing image....

[@CupcakeSavvysKitchen]

All details are in the video and below the video.

[@ChachiHad]

Amazing work. But I can't find that image of Marilyn. Can You send me the link? Thanks from Argentina

[@CupcakeSavvysKitchen]

I must admit it took forever to find! It was a while ago unfortunately and I don't have a link. If you can only find the pic with the pink bubble gum, the ball you insert will cover it.

[@adelaidariverapena3989]

chachi Had Hola! Estuve buscando la imagen exacta durante muchos días, hasta que la encontré. Es una foto tomada por Bert Stern para la revista Vogue de 1962. Espero te sirva el dato. Me cuentas si la encontraste

[@CupcakeSavvysKitchen]

¡Qué maravilloso! ¡Muchas gracias por compartir!

[@sebastiendujet1451]

Beautiful!!! congrats!!! wonderful!

[@CupcakeSavvysKitchen]

Sébastien Dujet thank you!

[@umairahdiyanah4221]

Don't we need to put something like bubble tea straw to stabilize the tiers of the cake?

[@CupcakeSavvysKitchen]

Not for his height cake. It was only around 20 cm or so. Having said that, you certainly can if you prefer.

[@umairahdiyanah4221]

Thx 😘😊✌️

[@chete3086]

Pure talent

[@CupcakeSavvysKitchen]

You’re too kind. Thank you :-)

[@BZakiyyah]

Hello! Beautiful cake! I wanted to create something similar with a different image but I had a couple questions! How tall did the cake end up being and what size image did you get printed?

[@CupcakeSavvysKitchen]

The image was printed on an A4 page and the cake ended up around 22cm high.

[@tort_irinka_]

Hello! What cream align cake? Just perfect! Can be recipe

[@napoleonreyes9544]

Hi I love you cakes , I try to find the imagen of marylin wit how the bubbles, can you sent me the link please

[@lighthouse6748]

Gorgeous cake!🎂

[@CupcakeSavvysKitchen]

Thank you :-)

[@angelazeppetelli-ali5278]

[@CupcakeSavvysKitchen]

Thank you!

[@maimunamanzur4247]

Too goooodd 👏👏👏...one of the best cake decorating videos !

[@lesleyofori2146]

Can I ask where you got the image? I’ve had a request for this cake but can’t find this image. The only ones I’ve found already have the bubble gum in the picture. I’d really appreciate your help! Thanks!

[@CupcakeSavvysKitchen]

It was extremely hard to find. I Googled my fingers to the bone! It was a while ago so I can't remember...it was quite obscure. I have used the image with the bubble before because that was the only one I could find also and it worked well because the bubble I inserted covered it anyway.

[@lesleyofori2146]

Cupcake Savvy's Kitchen Thanks for getting back to me. I actually found it if you can believe it or not! And without the bubble gum!

[@CupcakeSavvysKitchen]

How fabulous!!!

[@kaylakershaw6528]

Lesley Ofori hey can you tell me the exact link you found the photo at? Please!?

[@DonGoomy]

Nice coating

[@CupcakeSavvysKitchen]

Fatemh K.A thanks!

[@dawnwells9916]

I really love this. Do you have a link to the image you used for the edible print please?

[@CupcakeSavvysKitchen]

Unfortunately I don't :-( If you Google it you may have some luck. If you can only find the one with the bubble in the picture, it will be covered by the styro ball anyway. Good luck.

[@markeetaroane3]

Isn't it annoying when people post cakes but don't wanna give you a list of the suppliers 🤔🙄. I fail to like or subscribe when people do it

[@Elbenja8890]

I don't print them myself because I don't use them often enough. I got this one done at my local Party Supply Store, the local Cake Decorating Store does them as well. I am not sure what printer or ink they use.
