You are absolutely brilliant! This is really such a beautiful cake xx Thank you for sharing

[@TheAlicemorgan]

Simply a beautiful cake. I did a fault line cake for my sisters 70th after watching one of your videos and made my butter cream thinner and the steel scraper did a fabulous job on finally smoothing my cakes. I watch one of your videos every day and have become less tense in doing my cakes. I love this design and I had always used gum paste in my fondant to make my figures hard, but now I’ll try tylose powder. Thanks for teaching us other media to work with. Alice

[@sophisticakesbymary]

You are very sweet and I am so pleased that what I am doing is helping you;)

[@maggieburris1081]

I love this cake. This is so creative and I just love the simple elegance that all of your cakes seem to have. Your clear directions are wonderful for newbies, lol

[@Brandi_the_Baker]

Beautiful as usual. I love that you take the mystery out of the creating such gorgeous cakes.

[@mariahutter7081]

[@donaharrisburg5469]

fantastic!

[@itsjustme1211]

This method is similar to acrylic art - it's so cool 😍

[@sophisticakesbymary]

I love to do acrylic art also;)

[@mariviccarranceja3300]

Wow! I love all your creations ❤😍😍😍 Thanks for sharing your strategy and ideas all are impressive. . I hope one day I could also make such a beautiful cake like you do.. I'm a Newbie here..😊

[@bakerscove]

I appreciate this tutorial. I can’t tell you how many cake artist have said… “You shouldn’t air brush buttercream. It won’t look right.😒 Thanks for showing that it can absolutely be done.😉👌🏾 The cake is beautiful. 💕

[@sophisticakesbymary]

Yes it can for sure be done;) it just may not be as Shiney with the metalics.

[@arushagangoo8370]

Thanks a million for this gorgeous tutorial. Did you make those flowers? 😊

[@aniakosakowska7746]

♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@marieb1751]

I LOVE this cake and love how you made the decorations. My question is I noticed that some of the geodes have pick in them when did you put them in?

[@sophisticakesbymary]

I put them in maybe an hour after they are cut out. Long enough that they don't lose their shape when you insert them, but not so long that they crack.

[@giselemotarelli9750]

Maravilhoso!!

[@karlykd4961]

Gorgeous! Could you show us in a future video how you add the tylose to the fondant?

[@sophisticakesbymary]

I will add that to my to do's;)

[@dminniswhite68]

I LOVE this technique! If I don't have an airbrush what can I use? I hesitate to use a straw, since it would blow germs onto the gumpaste.

[@sophisticakesbymary]

Right. And in the tutorial where I did this on a cake, I did blow it because I didn't have my airbrush with me. I did say not to do that for an actual cake, but I felt bad even doing it for a demo;( isn't there something that can be squeezed with your hand and it blows air out? Oh gosh, I don't know what it would be called!

[@yolandajohnson8778]

I love it where can I get the alcohol from

[@faouziafeddal8627]

Great job, congratulations, a question about how alcohol can be replaced

[@sophisticakesbymary]

You can use lemon extract or rejuvenating spirits.

[@Angie-iq1xq]

Hi, the cake is gorgeous. Can I ask at what point did you attach the sticks to the toppers?

[@sophisticakesbymary]

Sorry I did not explain that! I add them maybe 30 minutes after cutting them out. You want it to be firm enough not to lose the shape but not so firm that it cracks.

[@Angie-iq1xq]

Thank you for answering my question. It's such a great beautiful idea, I'll be sure to tag you in on Instagram when I try it.

[@debtink5756]

Thank you I would love to try this but as a beginner I don’t have a air brush is there another way I could do this I love the look. Thanks in advance

[@sophisticakesbymary]

You could try a hairdryer if you have the nossle attachment. I haven't tried it but I do use that on a canvas with paint. You just can't control it as much on a small scale I would imagine.;(

[@arushagangoo8370]

How about trying the little hand pump for balloons 😊

[@susandoyle5632]

Beautiful as always what did you attach the sticks with please

[@sophisticakesbymary]

Just watet;)

[@sophisticakesbymary]

Sophisticakes By Mary water

[@donaharrisburg5469]

I’m still watching but will quickly like. I was stunned how you mixed colorants and were able to spray paint. I’ve tried that but the tool always clogged Question: is it ever clear the answer ? I used vodka when trying this technique

[@sophisticakesbymary]

Vodka works well too;) I have clogging sometimes too and I find that it helps to really thin it down. And then just take a minute to run some water thru the gun here and there to clear it out .

[@donaharrisburg5469]

@@sophisticakesbymary hi ty for the response. Too gracious of you. Making this brief, not using your time. I tried this with airbrush colorants that have sparkles in it. Clogged big time. Thought just can’t be used. I’m setting up and trying again. Btw. I tried on Ri, candy clay too. Anyway I will cite you.

[@nooras865]

This is absolutely gorgeous 😍 are you sure you have the right link to the other artist? I don't see anything like this on that channel and all her videos are from two years ago 🤔

[@sophisticakesbymary]

I saw it on her Instagram;) There is no legal issue with adding a link to another channel, in fact it is appreciated by most creators instead of not getting credit for their work as well.

[@nooras865]

@@sophisticakesbymary I'm sorry if my message was unclear, I didn't mean there was a legal issue or anything like that. I was just curious as to what kind of decoration this other person had made and couldn't find it on the channel you linked 😅 I didn't mean anything bad by it.

[@sophisticakesbymary]

Omg I am so sorry! I looked back at your first comment and I read it wrong before:( I thought you asked if I had the right TO link the other artist!!! Wow it must have been late:( You would be surprised how many comments you get as content creator that are just mean spirited. That was definitely not what you intended. I have an eye exam in 2 weeks and it must be needed! I haven't seen her actual KZbin account but it was on Instagram. She must not be using KZbin now.

[@nooras865]

@@sophisticakesbymary That's okay and understandable, you must have a lot of comments to go through 😁 although I can't imagine how anyone in their right mind could find anything negative to comment on your content, you are absolutely fantastic, creative and I just love your videos ❤️

[@sophisticakesbymary]

@@nooras865 oh it happens more then you would think. You have to be pretty thick skinned, and I unfortunately, am not:( But thank you for your kind words!

[@changeusername56]

is there anything we can use instead of alcohol to mix colours. thank you

[@sophisticakesbymary]

Yes, you can use lemon extract too. You may need more then one coat;)

[@gracearnot7854]

What did you mix in with the fondant to make it harden?

[@sophisticakesbymary]

Tylose powder;)

[@momiji7789]

What are the flowers called? Are they wafer paper?

[@sophisticakesbymary]

They are artificial cherry blossoms;)

[@donaharrisburg5469]

I see Apparently I need to make thinner

[@ОксанаЗагорулько-г2ь]

Надо было добавить розовые леденцы, было бы интереснее

[@TheFancyCakery]

You think a blow dryer would work? I don't have an airbrush.

[@sophisticakesbymary]

Hmmm maybe if you have the nossle attachment? It needs to be pinpointed on what you are trying to manipulate. When I do these types of peices on canvas, I do use a hairdryer this way, but it is a bigger surface.

[@TheFancyCakery]

@@sophisticakesbymary Hmm. I'll have to get creative with that hairdryer!
