Hi... Fantastic work... Are you the same guy from the i love cakes channel?

[@connyklawitter5143]

looks great! can you tell me what kind of dough and creme you took?

[@ArtCakes]

I used fondant. For crumbcoating and final shape before I covered it with fondant, I used buttercream.

[@MsAllfiredup]

Hi.this is class..What did you use for the windscreen. thanks

[@ArtCakes]

I used gray colored fondant. I just rolled it as thin as I could manage.

[@MsAllfiredup]

Hi, could you please tell me how it's staying up, and not falling down cause of the weight?

[@ArtCakes]

Its not really suspended. The wheels are not carrying the weight. I just trimmed off around a centimeter from the base to make it look suspended. If you watched how I carved it, that's just how it is, no extras.

[@faithbisach669]

Where can I get that picture for the car....you used as a guide

[@ArtCakes]

Just search "vw beetle template" images on google. Have a good day!

[@LilithLaturis-hn3io]

That is amazing. How long does it take to make one?

[@ArtCakes]

Starting from cutting and carving the cake, it probably took me about 4 hours.

[@LilithLaturis-hn3io]

@@ArtCakes thank you : ) cause i want to make 3 on one cake for my friend so now i know i have to plan a hole day for that

[@glorgrn]

Where can I get the template?

[@ArtCakes]

Just search for volkswagen beetle template on google.

How much kg is this cake

[@ArtCakes]

Honestly, I don't exactly know 'coz we don't weigh our cakes here.

[@americanpatriot6574]

What is the recipe for the butter pound cake? Will any recipe work for any pound cake?

[@ArtCakes]

Yes, any pound cake would do or any cake that is heavy and holds its form. A fluffy cake would be difficult to carve (imagine trying to carve a soft foam) and may not hold its form after you put the fondant. 'coz fondant is heavy.

[@americanpatriot6574]

@@ArtCakes I can’t find a pound cake recipe that is for a sheet pan except one that says it is fluffy and has whipped cream in it, and also doesn’t have butter in it. I found one that is for a tube pan that has butter in it, but I’m not sure how much to adjust the baking time so that it is cooked in the center and not burnt on the edges.

[@americanpatriot6574]

Most butter pound cakes are for tube pans. I don’t like shortening. I like natural ingredients.

[@ArtCakes]

Pls check out Taste of Home Sour Cream pound cake recipe.(You may lessen the sugar as 3 cups is too sweet for me) Instead of baking it in a bundt/tube pan, the recipe will fit in an 8"x12" sheet pan or even a 9"x13"one. Bake it for at least an 1 hour. Pound cakes are meant to be golden in color. Otherwise, it won't taste as good. Hope this helps 🙂

Che lunghezza ha la macchina?

[@ArtCakes]

The length is 10 inches.

Hi... Fantastic work... Are you the same guy from the i love cakes channel?

[@ArtCakes]

Thank you. I'm not the guy from the i love cakes channel. I actually just learned about him now since you asked. My daughter just told me he's also filipino but based in kuwait. Just watched his videos and we do have the same format including some of the tools he uses are same as mine. Thank you for asking. Am a bit flattered though considering he's got a big following. I wish I'd reach the same.
