Love the video! Super informative! I wanted to add a tip or "ingredient" to your already amazing list. Basic kitchen sponges (the ones without the scrubber side) are really great for cake slices. You can cut them into whatever shape and they work perfect for a regular triangle slice of cake. They sell cheap off brand ones at the dollar tree. They come in different bright colors, usually 4 in a pack, sometimes more. I think the ones I have are like pink, green, and orange. You can paint them to look like whatever flavor, but I like leaving them the bright colors and making like a rainbow layered cake slice.

[@amitas7047]

Sounds like a fun project...I have colored sponges

[@GETTINGPARKINSONs]

i've been fake baking for 2 years before I discovered I'm not the only one who does this!! I've created my own methods using foil and plaster cloth, so can't wait to experiment with caulk, spackling, joint compound and all your other ideas. I havve 2 questions 1.) Are any of these products toxic? Gap fill foam? 2. I can't make powdered sugar. I gloss seal everything and the gloss sprays make the powdered sugar [baby powder] imvisible. Thank you!!

[@CassieSmallwood]

Yes, some of the products are toxic. For powdered sugar I use joint compound powder, but you can't put sealer over it. You have to just let it be powdery like real powdered sugar would be. I used baby powder in the past but it doesn't stay on no matter what adhesive I use. Joint compound works better for me.

[@PreciousByLiJaLi]

Thank you, this video is soooo helpful 😊 the most problem I see, is to find all the materials here in Germany

[@CassieSmallwood]

A lot of it is at the home improvement stores. Or maybe you can get it on Amazon?

[@JeannieMitchellMyers]

Thanks so much! I am so thrilled you popped up on You Tube! I make fake deserts, pancakes, bread, etc...QUESTION: I was wondering if you can use Plaster of Paris ( I think that's how to spell it) in making my ice cream thicker? Thanks

[@CassieSmallwood]

I've never tried it but seems like it would work

[@angelagrima6911]

Good morning , I made fake fruit small tarts with polimer clay and fake fruit, what can I use to make them look shiny please? I love your videos thank you

[@CassieSmallwood]

What part are you trying to make shiny?

[@mummypage]

Hey Cassie, with the spackle how long does it take to fully dry and how should it feel once it is? Does it dry rock hard or squishy? Does it have some flex to it? How hard wearing is it? I couldn’t find this info in your other vids but might have missed it. Thankyou!

[@CassieSmallwood]

It will dry hard. The thinner edges will feel a little flexible but if there's any squishy feeling, it's not fully dry. It's hard to give a time because it will vary depending how thick it is and weather can affect drying time. For a mug topper, probably a few days to fully dry.

[@mummypage]

@@CassieSmallwood Thankyou Cassie that’s a big help. I’ve made a lot of test pieces to work out drying time etc. the spackle I’m using says it’s also for exterior use, do you know if that means it will have some weatherproofing? I’m in the UK so can’t get the DAP annoyingly.

[@kisstweetie1]

Hello i know this may sound like a dumb question but can u use lightweight compound for fake bakes instead of spackle

[@CassieSmallwood]

Not a dumb question at all. I don't think you'll get the same results with joint compound because it's not as fluffy as lightweight spackling, but you can give it a go and see. Don't be afraid to try. That's how I figure out some of my best things!

[@TheCrazyCrafter25]

Hi! How can I color silicone without the alcohol color?? Thanks!

[@CassieSmallwood]

You can use food coloring

[@skyelouisexo4770]

Hi what is the resin called please to buy in the uk?

[@CassieSmallwood]

I'm not sure what brands are sold in the UK but it's epoxy resin that is used for things like syrup and if you're making a drink in a large glass you'll want deep pour resin. You should be able to find both on Amazon.

[@yerpalval]

Would you use air clay or the foam clay to make a slice of cheesecake?

[@CassieSmallwood]

I think foam clay, but I'd have to try it to know 100% for sure. This has been on my to do list for ages. I'm going to make a video soon.

[@cheriwhitley8385]
