[@TheRobynsNest]

Thank you, I will🧡💛

[@singhsarah265]

This is phenomenal! My daughter and I love this!! We live and breathe everything Star Wars, my daughter especially loves the Mandalorian. You are so talented!

[@TheRobynsNest]

Thank you so much! My whole family enjoys it as well! I'm super surprised there aren't more helmet cakes, the show is so popular but I guess baby yoda wins the cuteness vote 😆😁🥰

[@tiffanysherman517]

Haha thank you for this! My almost 6 year old loved watching this with me, and we might give it a go this weekend!

[@TheRobynsNest]

That’s so great to hear! I love inspiring the littles!🥰 I wish you both the best of luck with it and have fun! Thanks for watching!💕

[@heathermorrison1681]

I am just now getting into the show (so I’m obviously obsessed!) I remembered you made this cake so I had to come back and watch again!

[@TheRobynsNest]

🤣😄🥰That’s so sweet of you to say! Wait till you see my next video! I’m super excited about it so stay tuned!

[@heathermorrison1681]

You made it look so real! Great job. I bet you like cakes that are challenging you a bit!

[@TheRobynsNest]

After almost 8 years I am still learning new stuff constantly, if I was to make this cake again I would do a few things differently for sure, it's all a learning process and absolutely yes, I love a challenge!!

[@Teresabailey-k9g]

Hi awesome cake can I ask how much fondant did you need to do the cake many thanks

[@clarkefrye7568]

Awesome job

[@TheRobynsNest]

Thanks🥰

[@juliegray1766]

Love this.❤️ Attempting it this weekend.. Wish me luck 🤞...

[@TheRobynsNest]

Best of luck! You got this! I’m here if you need any help along the way. I usually respond pretty quickly 😊

[@YardenBobovnik-c4n]

i want to make this cake for my sons birthday , where can i get the stencil that you printed for the decoration ? do you have a PDF of that pls ? thank you !

[@sweetforyou3673]

I love the idea of the stencil wow tanks for share and what kind of paper did you use for the stencil looks like plastic or just a simple one.?

[@TheRobynsNest]

Thank you so much! It’s literally just clean paper 😆 I’m a “use what ya got and make it work” kinda gal😊

[@sharonhatley2662]

Robyn, I have enjoyed watching your tutorials. This is a great cake! About the paint...I noticed the fondant looked a little wet when you started, probably from condensation. May want to let the condensation dry out before painting. Another suggestion is if you don't want to use liquid paint, lightly rub Crisco/Trex on the parts you want silver and dip your big fluffy brush with silver dust & apply to the cake. Regardless...fantastic job! Look forward to your next tutorial.

[@TheRobynsNest]

Yeah, I was a little pressed for time on this one. I didn't super chill my cake but I did chill it long enough to crust the frosting and apparently that was just long enough to create that dang condensation. It was super hot in my house if you notice my frizzy hair, that cake made a lot of trips to the fridge as a result, hence the heavy wetness before I painted. I typically prefer to use dust over paint, but I ran out, this stuff wasn't the best but I think it gave it a cool brushed steel effect. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching 🥰

[@audreyraetzloff9839]

What did you use for the final black paint? Diluted gel food coloring?

[@TheRobynsNest]

Yuppers, and I just use water to dilute

[@bethstophel8344]

Hi! Great Video, may I ask what you used to color the black in the front of the Helmet

[@TheRobynsNest]

Just a little bit of watered down black food color. I would suggest diluting it with spirits or an extract so it dries a bit quicker.

[@bethstophel8344]

@@TheRobynsNest thank you!

[@alondrasantos8572]

Great tutorial. Had one question, how did you get it to have the lean? Did you put the tops a little more towards the back?

[@TheRobynsNest]

Thank you! Nope, I just stacked it straight and carved a little off the front.

[@anthoinettop7263]

Hi Robyn, hope you have some templates for the stencils? Would be very helpful, thanks!

[@TheRobynsNest]

I’m sorry I don’t have the templates but I have some great reference pictures that could help you make yours. Shoot me a message to [e-mail] and I can send it to you.

[@carlyhodge4073]

hi there! I want to try to make this for my boyfriend for his birthday. Hes a huge Mando fan lol. How do I make the fondant??

[@carlyhodge4073]

and do you think you could send me the stencil you made?? LOL

[@charlierogers9275]

The template for the cake doesn't work.

[@katebeasley4585]

Awesome I’ve been looking for a Mandelorian tutorial. One thing, how did you make your stencils? Thx

[@TheRobynsNest]

Thanks for watching!🥰 That's a great question! I found a good image online that gave me multiple views from all angles. I then blew them up and traced them right off my computer screen. If I could give 1 tip it would be to double check your stencil after carving the cake and putting it together. I had to modify mine a bit to make the front portion work, I had a little bit of trouble with that part.

[@mom4corinne]

@@TheRobynsNest can you link your stencils here, like as a pdf?? I'm making this cake in March for my 11yo birthday. I want to get it right! ;)

[@TheRobynsNest]

@@mom4corinne I’m sorry, the stencil only existed in paper version and was a one shot deal, I don’t have it any longer.

[@nanaasabere8935]

This is awesome!8 just subscribed to your channel. Do you mind sharing the link to the stencil you used for the detailed parts?

[@TheRobynsNest]

Thank you so much and welcome to the channel! I hope you enjoy my videos! 🥰 As for a stencil, I’m so sorry but there isn’t one. The one I had a drew by hand and it was kind of a 1 shot deal, but if you google, “mandalorian helmet template” you will definitely find something to help you out!

[@peacemakers7.341]

Where can I find the template for the stencil?

[@TheRobynsNest]

The images I used to make the stencil are linked in the description. I hope they are helpful!

[@janettefolkens2042]

can you please send the link to stencil for the helmet?

[@TheRobynsNest]

Apologies but there is no link or printable stencil. I wish I could help but the ones I had, I made by hand and they were a one use type deal. They also required modifications as I progressed. The best advice I can give you is to find some good pictures of the helmet from all angles and trace the components straight from your computer screen. I do this often right on my laptop. Sry I couldn’t be of more help but I hope this gets you started in the right direction! Hoping to invest in a scanner soon so I can start attaching the files right in the description.😁

[@mferdin22]

This is awesome!!! Do you share your template?? 😊

[@TheRobynsNest]

I don’t have a template but I’m gonna find the image I used to make one and I’ll share in up in the description box as soon as I find it.

[@TheRobynsNest]

Should be there now😉

[@mferdin22]

You are amazing thank you!!!

[@juliehansen6151]

Love this cake! I’m going to attempt to make it but with buttercream, any tips on how to achieve the mandalorian look with buttercream?

[@TheRobynsNest]

Oh, I'm not entirely sure! That would be challenging for sure to say the least. I'd say flexi smoothers will be helpful and perhaps some clay carving tools. I would apply a few layers of thick buttercream and freeze it then carve it maybe🤔

[@TheRobynsNest]

Perhaps I should give this another go but in buttercream 🤔☺️
