This is EXACTLY what I was looking for!!! I have to do a square cake with yellow on top, 2 sides yellow and 2 sides blue. I had no idea how I was going to do it, now I do! Thanks!!! 👍🏽
Seem everyone e does their box cakes just a bit different,either way the end result is wonderful,thank you for sharing your Expertise and precious time, truly appreciated!
Awesome video thank you so much!! I have to make a rectangular cake for a client that is probably double the height (I was going to try the double barrel technique). I'm just worried that since my cake will be a lot taller and the fondant will weigh more, will it fall apart? I'm super paranoid!
Hi Sara! Kaysie says that your fondant should hold up just fine using the paneling method even on an extra-high cake. :) Let us know if you have any more questions- we're always happy to advise. And good luck with your cake!
Thank you so much for getting back to me! :) Are there any tips or tricks I might not know about to make it stick better? Such as certain types of buttercream that might have a stronger hold on the heavy fondant?
Hi Sara! Kaysie says you can wet the buttercream with a little simple syrup to get the fondant to stick better, or you could try using a non-crusting buttercream. I hope that helps! :)
Hi Jovan, Kaysie doesn't recall what brand of mat she was using, but says that any self healing mat will do. And no, she does not have glass on top of it. Thanks for watching!
Innovative Sugarworks what you mean by self healing mat never heard of such and how could she cut on it without damaging it that why someone ask if it has glass on it
Hi Kitty! CMC and tylose firm up a bit more than fondant, so it becomes very difficult to cut through cleanly when you try to slice your cake. We'd recommend sticking with fondant for the panels. Thanks for watching!
Hi Kemi, Kaysie generally uses a fondant called Carma, but there are many really good fondants on the market and we encourage cakers to experiment and find the one that best suits their work and environment. :)
Super video. What boards do you put your cakes on? I've been looking for those type not sure what they're called or where to find them. Thanks in advance!
Hi Jill! Kaysie cuts her own cake boards out of foam core. When she does, she leaves an extra 3/16" to account for the buttercream. (so, for example, a 7x7" cake would get a 7 3/16 x 7 3/16" foam core board.) I hope that helps! :)
I must be seeing something else decorators are using under their cake. Im trying to get away from cardboard rounds. thanks for the reply, much appreciated!

I love this technique of cover the cake
Thank u for sharing love the info. so when paneling the cake is Best to let the fondant sheets dry for a while
Thanks for sharing thats great I also was wondering too how to colour different sides. Thank you so much
Love your videos
Thank you!
Did you freeze your cut out fondants before panelling?
Great if you want to panel with different colours, one colour though I just cover the whole thing & use fondant smoothers for sharp edges.
Awesome idea and much easier instead of covering the whole thing👍
NOICE tips! Thank you miss Kaysie
Can I ask what type of buttercream you used? I just made a square cake & used American buttercream but found it a little too soft. Thank you
looks great! I'll be reaching out to you next week to see if your available to make my wedding cake for Nov.12th in Maple Valley. Talk soon. Jonathan

What type of buttercream are you currently using?
I normally use a vanilla American buttercream

awesome video. quicky.... what brand mat is that you use and do you have glass on top of it?

Will the fondant panels stick to the cold buttercream ? Without adding any sort of glue
Yes, apply your fondant directly to the buttercream. No glue of any kind is needed. Thanks for asking!
Would using CMC or tylose work to set up the panels or do you not suggest it?
Hi Kitty! CMC and tylose firm up a bit more than fondant, so it becomes very difficult to cut through cleanly when you try to slice your cake. We'd recommend sticking with fondant for the panels. Thanks for watching!
When drying the fondant do you keep it covered with plastic or open to air?
Let it dry open to the air. And thanks for watching! :)
Thanks!
what fondant do you use?
