I'm going to make this handsome cake for my soon to be 10 year old son's birthday party. My question is what color fondant do I use for the 50/50 fondant and modeling chocolate mix? Thank you! ❤️

You're very talented!!

[@DaltonCupcakes16]

Lauren Jones Thank you very much!

[@faymayer7332]

This is really amazing, thanks so much for sharing. You are very talented. Could you possibly provide a list of utensils that you use and the ingredients needed so that I can have a go? Thank you

[@DaltonCupcakes16]

Fay Mayer Thank you! For ingredients, I usually use a standard mud cake (any dense cake is great for covering in fondant, because they hold shape really well). I didn't keep track of the utensils I used, but I might start doing it in the future, thank you!

[@faymayer7332]

Dalton Cupcakes OK thanks! I was watching it thinking what is THAT? You have so many gadgets I have never seen before...!

[@faymayer7332]

Dalton Cupcakes What was that plastic sheet you used to make the brickwork? Thank you!!!

[@DaltonCupcakes16]

It was a fondant impression/imprint sheet that I got from my local cake decorating supply shop. You can usually find them in packs or even single sheets. I think it's called a cobblestone impression mat.

Would this be a stone keep or a motte and bailey castle?

[@douhaalsaleh4883]

Wow amazing cake

[@DaltonCupcakes16]

Douha Alsaleh Thank you!

[@arundhutib]

Great tutorial

[@chesschess100]

Great cake! What sizes are the top and bottom layers? I'm not very good at dimensions. Is the bottom about 8"x8" and the top 4"x4"? Or 10x10 and 6x6? I'm going to try it tomorrow for my little guy's bday party and I'd love to have it look close to yours. Well done!

[@DaltonCupcakes16]

+Tim Zado Thank you! I can't remember exactly, but I think the bottom tier was 9" x 9" and the top tier was 6" x 6". (I don't actually have square cake tins, so cut them from a large rectangular cake pan that I have). And good luck making the cake for your little man's birthday! Feel free to tag us on Facebook or Instagram with any pictures you take of the cake. Love to see what other people create!

[@chesschess100]

+Dalton Cupcakes thank you! Baking the cakes tonight and decorating tomorrow night. Fingers crossed!

May I know what color did

[@DrBear21]

What is the advantage to using 50/50 modeling choc and fondant versus just fondant? What about gum paste?

[@DaltonCupcakes16]

Personal preference and modelling chocolate usually firms up generally quickly.

[@andreaitacatalina]

This is dope

[@vanessagarcia4970]

how many days before would you start prepping the cake and fondant for the party???

[@DaltonCupcakes16]

The turrets can be prepped up to a month in advance, but would recommend at least making them a few days in advance to allow them to dry. The cake can be baked a few days before as well (depending on the type of cake) and frozen, if you are short on time.

[@vanessagarcia4970]

will freezing the cake make it dry?

[@DaltonCupcakes16]

It will depend on the type of cake. I primarily use Mud Cake (a very popular, dense and moist cake in Australia), which is improved with freezing. If the cake is wrapped properly, it shouldn't be an issue, but if the cake does become dry, it can be moistened with some simple syrup.

[@vanessagarcia4970]

Thank you so much for your advice. I am trying to make this for my nephews birthday!

[@DaltonCupcakes16]

No worries. Good luck with it! Feel free to share photos of the finished cake with us on social media.
