How to Sculpt with Rice Krispie Treats | RKT recipe | How To | Cake Decorating | Tutorial

[@bowlingmaniac1761]

Not sure if this was mentioned by anyone else, but a tip with the spatula is to either butter it or spray cooking spray on it and then there’s very minimal sticking to the Rice Krispies. I also use the greased spatula to mix everything together in the bowl to cut down on the sticky messiness.

[@keelydennis275]

That's what I do too! Great minds think alike! 😊❤

What a breath of fresh air. So many of these videos spend more time promoting themselves than their product to the point where I just have to switch off. Your relaxed and straight forward commentary was a joy to watch, no hype, brilliant! I'll definitely tune in to more.

Thank you! ☺️

This video has changed my life!! I watched it a year ago and this is the only way I do birthday cakes now. Just microwave marshmellows add rice crispies and off we go. I made the faraway tree, the gruffalo and today I watched it again as my daughter wants a 'worst witch' hat cake. Done! Kids love it and everyone says it is much nicer than cake as kids can just grap it in their hands while they run and play. No mess! Thank you so much, for the great exolaination. Big fan!

That’s great to hear, thank you! I used it on a cake this weekend too - super convenient! 🥰

great tutuorial! I have a few questions...how many days in advance can you prepare this before decorating with fondant? While resting overnight, should it be covered or open to air? I plan to make a standing T-Rex for my nephew's birthday, would I need to use wooden dowels in this case? How much more difficult would the standing aspect make the whole project?

Hey Rob, very informative, I watched the whole video the other day and now I have just skimmed through it again as I am about to make a hot air balloon cake topper for a Fortnite cake, so I apologise if you addressed this in the video and i missed it... My question is, can you re-heat and reshape RKT once they have cooled? Or do you need to mould all the RKT into the desired shape at the time you first make it? Thanks

[@MrBakersCakeSchool]

Hi Sam, thanks for watching. I’m afraid I’ve never tried remelting it, so I’m not entirely sure. Sorry I can’t be of more help, but if you give it a try, please do let me know how you get on. You’ve got me intrigued now... 🤔

[@MrBakersCakeSchool]

Like cake, RKT is best eaten within around 2-3 days, after which it will start to go a little stale. That being said, sometimes I will make RKT models further in advance and just tell people not to eat them. Particularly when it comes to things like cute dogs and bears, people are usually happy to have an excuse to keep them as a souvenir... 😉

So im making a king gidorah dragon cake and the dragon will be standing. I'm using a thick sturdy wire to help sculpt the ways the heads will be tilting and the tails.

[@maryjo9573]

Could you freeze the RKT for later use? And if so for how long?

I don’t see why not, but it would be almost impossible to remould it after freezing. You could carve it though… As a general rule, around 2mths is a good limit for freezing items without manufacturers’ instructions. x

[@yvettequinones7231]

I have to make the character Carnage (just his face) and I will be pushing that face into the cake…was wondering if 1..because his face has so many layers would I still need to cover the rkt in the ganache? And 2..should I use ganache or some heated marshmallows as an adhesive so that the face does not fall out of the space in the cake I’m going to carve it into?

[@MrBakersCakeSchool]

If you think there will be enough layers to hide any lumps and bumps from the cereal, then you can probably skip the ganache. However, bear in mind that the more sugar paste you use, the heavier the model/face will be. When it comes to attaching it to the cake, I would definitely use ganache over marshmallow - marshmallows are better for adhering to something solid, like a structure. ☺️

Your foolproof ganache recipe is not currently loaded at your blog...help. I had it written down and cannot find it and need it right away.

[@MrBakersCakeSchool]

Sorry, Cary… I’m in the process of transferring everything over to the new website. For my ganache recipe, you’ll need 600g of milk or dark chocolate (or 900g of white chocolate) and 300ml of double/whipping cream. Place a heat proof bowl (Pyrex or similar) over a pan of gently simmering water without allowing the bottom to touch the water. Break or slice your chocolate into small pieces and place these in the bowl. Stir regularly to distribute the heat evenly. Once the chocolate has almost melted, removed from the heat and continue stirring until completely melted. Meanwhile, place the cream into a microwave-safe jug and microwave for 2 minutes. Start whiskIng the chocolate with an electric hand whisk, and slowly pour the cream into the chocolate mixture. Continue whisking until smooth and then cover with cling film, allowing it to rest on the surface of the ganache mixture. Leave to cool to room temperature, at which point your ganache should have a peanut butter consistency. This means it’s ready to use. Hope that helps… ☺️
