The 5 dislikes are probably other bakers who can’t do what she can 😂🎂

[@AlittleBitThis]

There's always someone out there jealous and unthankful with life that will not like. Is ok we must send prayers on their way so God and Jesus can lead them on the path of love, empathy, thankfulness and appreciation.

[@via1968]

Or the ones that depend on mermaid tale fondant mold. She did it from a DIY template! I will do that for my grandkids christening and birthday with different sizes. CLEVER IDEA!

[@jendeker5838]

Do you remember how many scales you need?.Also do I need to use fondant or can I just keep the butter frosting then scale fondant?

[@xTabby93x]

Hi! Do you stack, crumb coat and cover in fondant on the same day? Do you ever get bulges/air bubbles in your cakes?

[@lottiearmstead3461]

Beautiful

[@victoriaburdette6685]

love it going do this for my daughter could you put in the description of what the food grade alcohol you used or where to buy it at

[@TheLovelyBaker]

I use vodka but you can also use any clear extracts like lemon etc :) Thank so much for watching!

[@victoriaburdette6685]

girl your a life saver since my daughter birthday is in October love your work could water do the same thing with the colors

[@victoriaburdette6685]

and also how many cakes did you use like 4 6in and 4 4in

[@victoriaburdette6685]

could you tell me where you got your luster dust at bc I can't find it

[@blacrose15]

What did you use to make the scale stick to the fondant?

[@veronicadelvalle7798]

Bello!!💖💞

[@melindabramwell-king2745]

Are they just normal drinking straws used to support the base cake?

[@raquelbrandt6145]

Sou brasileira e sou fã do seu trabalho

[@brendaferreira3526]

AMAZING!!!!!!

[@TheLovelyBaker]

Thank you 😊😊

[@lovesellon130]

hello, where did you purchased your gold lusterdust?

[@helengrant379]

Beautiful cake are those regler straw,s on the cake

[@SusansEasyRecipes]

Awesome love it, looks delicious ☀️

[@virginiasanchez4480]

CAN you tell me the brand of the gold you use please? Thank you

[@brianalbright9456]

Do you have to put the fondant on the cake or can you apply the scales directly to the crumb coat? Beautiful work! My daughter loves this!

[@TheLovelyBaker]

Thank you so much:) You can for sure just add the scales right to the buttercream, just be careful of the buttercream seeping through the scales.

[@jaylastakland7550]

mmm

[@DragonBolt-xh4dk]

Thank you for a great tutorial! I will be making my first mermaid cake soon, this is such a great help! May I ask what brand of gel colours you used for the teal on the top tier? Thank you again! 😊

Thank you for watching! I used Teal by Wilton brand:)

[@crimsonstar9445]

[@dpntest5763]

Thanks you a love cake

[@litadavis9997]

Your a perfect at this.

[@TheLovelyBaker]

Too kind 😊😊

[@The1morningstar]

Gorgeous cake and very skilled hands! I want to make my daughter's birthday cake in a month from now but I'm kind of worry (I've been practicing with the fondant but I notice after a few minutes starts losing its shape). How can I avoid this from happening. I don't want my daughter's birthday cake to start "melting" after an hour goes by. Thank you

[@TheLovelyBaker]

You can try adding a little bit of tylose powder to your fondant to help it firm up and hold its shape 😊❤️

[@The1morningstar]

@@TheLovelyBaker Thank you Love! I appreciate it 💖 I will let you know how it goes.. wish me luck 😅

[@tejshwareebeestobchurn1099]

Can i replace the buttercream with whipped cream?

[@NN-vg7nx]

Hi there, love watching all your cake videos! Your cakes are so pretty. I have a question though, can we put fondant covered cakes in fridge? I've always been hearing that it's not advisable to put fondant cakes in the fridge. What is your opinion?

[@TheLovelyBaker]

Thank you very much! I think a lot of factors go into whether or not you can put your fondant cakes in the fridge. Every fridge is calibrated a little differently, and I know that some are more humid then others. If I leave my cake in for a long time I will have a little bit of condensation form as it comes to room temp, but I also live in a very mild climate so it never really turns into an issue for me. If you live somewhere very hot and humid then it would probably cause far more problems then I've dealt with.The condensation just dries down and the cake is totally fine. I think the best thing to do is experiment with cakes that are not meant for orders and see what works best for you. You always want to avoid rapidly changing the temperature so try to move from chilled, to cool, to room temp. I think this is the best way to preserve your decorations etc. I know that probably is nothing you haven't heard already, apologies if that wasn't at all helpful!!

[@NN-vg7nx]

I see. Ok noted. Thanks for all the tips! I'm planning to start practising using fondant just to get used to it. Let's hope it goes well. :D

[@rachm2236]

Can you make a strawberry theme cake please😁

[@sabrinaserafimbolosedocesa3108]

Lindo amei 😍 obrigada pela dica

[@faaneesaelemoodeen8256]

This is sooooo cute.. u explain everything and made it simple.. one question if u don't mind i askin, what do u do with your cakes..? I mean are they for family and friends or do u take orders..?

[@TheLovelyBaker]

Faaneesa Elemoodeen Thank you!! Some of them go to friends or I make them for an order, I rarely keep them since everyone in my house has had their fill of cake haha

[@keishleyvargas7179]

Can u send me the link of where you got the luster dust? Plzzz thank u

[@KR-vm6es]

Hi, did you use SMBC under fondant?

[@kemillyborges4975]

Oh may good , perfectoo

[@sorayadager5955]

Helo,very pretty congratulación.

[@sherandyrosario6840]

wow

[@pinaybaking2433]

What size are the cakes? I want to make for my baby girl so fab!

[@kaillyrenouf2546]

How many scales did you cut out for this cake x

[@virtualbibliophile]

Hi! I am planning to do something similar for my daighter’s cake Do you know how far in advance I can make the scales, along with how far in advance I can paint them with lust dust? Thank you! Just don’t think I could make all of this the morning before her party.

[@TheLovelyBaker]

You could make/luster them a few days before for sure , fondant lasts a really long time so if you did it 2 or 3 days before it would be just fine! I would suggest keeping them in an airtight container before they've really dried solid as it is a bit easier to add them to the cake when they have a little flexibility, but it's not totally necessary!

[@virtualbibliophile]

Thank you! I wasn’t able to find teal or light purple fondant, so I was going to try to paint the white fondant with a mixture of luster dust and lemon extract. We will see how it goes! Good to know about the airtight container. Thank you very much for your help!

[@TheLovelyBaker]

No problem!! Let me know how it goes, I'd love to see it when you're done:D

[@virtualbibliophile]

Sure! I’ll be happy to share. This will be my first attempt with fondant... so we will see! The party isn’t until Sept. 15 so it won’t br ready for a bit yet.

[@Mggrande998]

Your SMBC looks so nice and stiff. What temperature do you keep your house when making cakes?

[@TheLovelyBaker]

Rachel Goodrich I normally keep my house at around 21 degrees Celsius. Putting the cake in the fridge to firm up before adding the fondant really helps as well:)

[@MrSamsoum13]

what kind of alcohol do u use with the gel??

[@andresuraga6290]

Wow great job!!! God bless you.

[@nadinesaab7081]

how did the mermaid tail hold it;s shape ?

[@lindapimentel1998]

Can you put the link of the gold color you use for the shells

[@TheLovelyBaker]

I buy mine from a cake store near me but its called Rolkem Super Gold Luster Dust and I know you can find it many places online depending on where you are:)

[@giselalopez6528]

What amount in grams do you use of fondant?

[@LoverBucketz]

what kind of fondant do you use?

[@TheLovelyBaker]

Hey there, I make my own homemade marshmallow fondant. My Cupcake Addiction has a great recipe on her channel if you wanted to check it out:)

[@LoverBucketz]

thank you, store bought fondant often sweats when I use it hopefully this one doesnt

[@denizkz4021]

Hay Allah razı olsun be ablacım

[@staceaboo]

About how many circles did you cut out?

[@denice27040608]

Loved it. :) =)

[@wael86369]

very nice cake but how you make the filling (icing)

[@brittanysylve3520]

You is Good

[@melissadilbar732]

hi what is your fondant recipe

[@vihan.19]

Which cream use for spread

[@Maria-ko5me]

Where do you get food grade alcohol! Is it just regular drinking alcohol?

[@TheLovelyBaker]

I am able to buy it from a store where I live (its not a chain store but a quick search for places around where you live should help). Its not regular drinking alcohol, but really any clear alcohol will work, I use just regular ol' vodka in a pinch. You can also you clear flavor extracts like vanilla.

[@Maria-ko5me]

The Lovely Baker does vanilla extract work as well as the alcohol?

[@TheLovelyBaker]

I personally like to use the alcohol because it doesnt have a strong smell once it dries down, whereas the vanilla is very vanilla-y even after it dries. If you like the smell, no problemo, but I find it gives me headaches while im decorating so I avoid it.

[@akilaharmstrong3993]

Ashylah’s

[@888mos]

Ok

[@willdineen2047]

I would have started my fondant circles at the top and worked my way down
