[@TheRobynsNest]

My pleasure! Hope it was helpful for you! Most times I just whip my butter and shortening until it lightens in color but sometimes I also add white food color.

VERY GOOD

[@TheRobynsNest]

Thank you!🥰

[@coolkings5]

Could you please share your chocolate & plain buttercream frosting recipe?

[@TheRobynsNest]

Sure thing! For my vanilla buttercream I use; 1/2 cup unsalted butter whipped with 1/4 tsp salt and 1 tbsp vanilla(clear vanilla if I need a white icing) whip till light and fluffy and nearly white in color. Add 1/2 cup shortening and whip again until no lumps remain. Next add 4 cups of sifted powdered sugar ( I like to add mine all at once and mix on low until no dry streaks remain. Next add 2-3 tbsp of your liquid of choice( I use water but u can use water, milk, cream or even condensed milk) add mix until just combined so as not to add too much air which will create bubbles. Slow and steady wind the race😆 And be sure to use a paddle attachment, not a whisk attachment.

Hi, do you have a tutorial on the sun lounger ?

[@TheRobynsNest]

I'm sorry, I do not but there is some interest so I'll have to put it on my list of things to do☺️

[@annmariefountain5448]

@@TheRobynsNest thanks but I need it this week

[@TheRobynsNest]

@@annmariefountain5448 oh, I'm very sorry there is no detailed tutorial to help you, but if you look closely it was really quite simple. I made two pieces for the bottom runners out of fondant that were exactly the same and about 10 or so small rectangle pieces and I then let them dry till hard. I also added tylos powder to my fondant so it would dry faster. Once it was ready I used a little bit of water on the edges for glue and stick it all together then let dry. I use a food dehydrator to spped dry my flat piece so it worked great for this.

[@crystalbiltz3071]

@@TheRobynsNest It IS a very beautiful cake, and I want to try to do it. I do wish you would do a template for the base of the lounger; I have no artistic skills, and I am really struggling to come up with it!

[@crystalbiltz3071]

This is such an amazing cake! I wish it could be done in slow motion - I really need to see more clearly how to do some of the procedures, like the making of the waves. Also, the sun chair of mine turned out terrible! It never was shown on the video really, even though it was said that it would be. Things that are simple for some people are not for others, unfortunately. I think I need "Cake Decorating for Dummies", i.e., more detail. thank you!

[@kafiluddin411]

Thank you☺️

[@kamunaziannydelicia9401]

Does those toppers edible??

[@karenrussell2431]

What’s the additive to fondant?

[@TheRobynsNest]

That would be tylose powder

[@pamelamaetomboc9092]

how to keep the sand dry?

[@TheRobynsNest]

It’s graham cracker crumbs mixed with a little bit of melted butter, they compact and stay in place and still look dry.

[@Bugg...0_o]

I seem to have missed the part where she did the the waves? Idk, I'm pretty sleep deprived, lol.

Instead of cats and dogs on the beach I would have made chocolate molded sea shells and other ocean creatures with some coral

[@TheRobynsNest]

Thanks, but this was a bespoke cake, it kind of told a story. The cats and dog were made to look just like the birthday girls pets. The crow represents the wild crows she feeds and cares for and the beach was reminiscent of a trip she had made. It was very personal so a little out of the ordinary.
