Love your Mustang Cake. I’m going to try to make one for my (soon to be) 16 yr old grandson. What size is the cake that you made? Length and width? And what kind of cake beat to use. Thank you.

[@cinthiahamzeh1511]

I love this! Where can I get a template for a 2020 mustang?

[@lisahalliday208]

Great job! Msg I have a link to the headlights please, thanks

[@princesswhite8993]

I am going to make a cake but in a muscle car. Can you tell me where to get the lights and how to make the wheels. Thanks great video by the way.

[@rinaanvekar3822]

Hi, love the cake, going to try make it for the first time tomorrow, have no experience at all, do you need edible glue to get the smaller pieces of fondant. Does the fondant dry out and would you recommend cutting the pieces first out first, then put the ganache and add the fondant layers. Appreciate any advice

[@cakeyho]

Hi Rina, you can start with the fondant tires/ wheels since it'll need time to dry & harden up. Make the ganache, bake the cake, filling, modeling chocolate. I don't recommend cutting pieces in advance since it will dry out & become stiff so you should take it one step at a time. Carve the cake, cover in ganache shaping the body (this step is important since it's essentially the base & will determine the shape of the car). You don't need edible glue & can use water to instead. I recommend playing with some fondant/ modeling chocolate first so you get a feel of the consistency & how much kneading is needed & how quickly it dries or hardens. There's usually a short window to work with the materials & it'll be helpful to understand prior to working on the car. Lmk if you run into any issues, I'm happy to help! Good luck & I'd love to see your creation!

[@rinaanvekar3822]

CakeyHo thank you so much, tried it for the first time - requires patience , was fun!

[@rinaanvekar3822]

wanted to post a photo but didnt know how to add it, so looking forward to making it again but better !

[@luciacervantes5590]

Amazing!!!! Can you please share the recipe for your butter cream and chocolate ganache? Also, how big is the cake? Thank you!

[@cakeyho]

Hi Lucia! Here are tutorials for my buttercream & ganache recipes. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bam7gqqvrMtliZY kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2jZfoZnpJ6NnqM The Mustang cake is roughly 11 inches x 5 inches. Hope this helps & lmk if you have any other questions

[@luciacervantes5590]

CakeyHo Awesome! Thank you ! can’t wait to try it out:)

[@justineprokupek3963]

what kind of board do you use for under the car and what do you put under it to make it raised?

[@cakeyho]

Hi Justine! I always place cakes on top of a cake board. Here's a link. You can cut the board to fit your cake. amzn.to/2EhDoJa I stack cardboard to elevate the cake. Check out this video below, you can skip to 2 mins. Lmk if you have any other questions, Happy baking ! kzbin.info/www/bejne/maOqn5qXgsuIgNU

[@gailsmith9282]

Where can I find the lights you used for headlights. You had some great tips. I was actually looking for a camaro cake. But this helps

[@cakeyho]

Hi Gail, I found the lights on Amazon & purchased a pack. I have extras & can send you a couple. Shoot me an email at [e-mail] and I can mail them to you. Happy Baking !

[@gailsmith9282]

Thankyou so much for answering my question. That is so nice to offer to send me the lights. How amazing. I did find them so they are already on their way. I am trying to make my husband his cake for the 18th of thus month. Wish me luck. I have never done this before

[@cakeyho]

Good Luck Gail !! Reach out if you need any help during the process. I'm happy to help however I can!

[@princesswhite8993]

How did you make the wheels?

[@MegaBosslady76]

Where did you get the led lights from

[@vickibaker2891]

Hi, I love this cake, where can I find the template please?

[@cakeyho]

Hi Vicki, Here's a link to the blueprint. I typically use a screenshot & when printing scale it to the size I'd like. Hope this helps!

[@myerslauri]

What size cake pan did you use for this project? Have you ever done one in all buttercream?

[@cakeyho]

Hi Lauri ! I typically bake the cake on a 12x16 sheet pan and divide it into 3 layers. That's enough to feed roughly 15 ppl. I haven't made a cake in all buttercream since it's difficult to get the details of the car. I'm sure it's possible though! Would love to see your cake if you decide to make one, Cheers!

[@myerslauri]

@@cakeyho thank you so much for your help!!

[@SandraTN]

What do you prefer modeling chocolate or Fondant to cover the cars?

[@cakeyho]

I personally prefer modeling chocolate for covering cars. It's difficult to get intricate details and lines to show on fondant. Would love to see your creation if you decide to make a car cake Sandra !

[@meiyee4096]

What is the difference between the two medium?

[@CainsMusicClass]

Did you resize the template for your cake or use it as the original size?

[@cakeyho]

Hi, depending on how many ppl I'm feeding I do scale the image typically to make it larger. Just make sure the proportions don't change while you resize. Hope this helps!

[@justineprokupek3963]

how do you figure the size of your template and what size paper do you print it on?

[@cakeyho]

The size will vary depending on how many people you're feeding. I typically print it on standard 8.5x11 and tape the sheets together if the car spans multiple pages. A car that's roughly 10 x4x3 should roughly feed 10-12 people. So it just depends on your needs.

[@meiyee4096]

can you give me a link to the LED light for the car

[@cakeyho]

Hi Mei, of course here's a link to the lights: amzn.to/3spsww8

[@xlTreeFiddylx]

Who gets to eat all the cake trimmings? 🤔

[@cakeyho]

Ruchi of course ! :)

[@nancyduffy4566]

How did you do the pony

[@cakeyho]

I printed out the pony logo and used that as a template :)

[@irenemason3830]

How did you make the wheels?
