Yay! All your tutorials are sooo full of incite and helpful! Thanks for being so generous with your talents! (And thank you too Mr. Husband--you two make one ingenious team!!)
I lve to bake cakes for kids and see how excited they get over a theme cake especially made by their auntie. You have taught me so much, Ill never get paid for cake making but that doesnt change my desire to get better. Art is like my meditation, I love it and getting into the zone is relaxing.
Thanks soo much to you and you wonderful husband for sharing so much with us, you are so kind and selfless. May God bless you always in all you do.Very grateful!!
Thank you so much Anancy! God bless you too! :)
Thank you so much for that! Glad you like them! :) Thank you for your kindness!
Thank you so much! I'm new to painting on cake. My granddaughters 9th birthday coming and I wanted to do something special. Thank you for your perfect advise! I watch a lot of baking and knew vodka is the best medium for this. You rock it's going to be a memorable birthday for her ♥️
You're VERY welcome! Thank you for watching and glad you enjoyed it. God bless you! :)
Love it.Thank you Laura and best regards from Madeira Island - Portugal!
You're very welcome! :) Glad you liked it!
Excellent tutorial ive learned something new and cant wait to try it thank you Laura
Hi Newby! That's awesome!!! So happy it worked for you! :)
I love your videos and your work! Thank you so much for letting us in on your techniques! It's hard for me to not get annoyed or bored with most people's videos, but yours are just the best.
Thank you Megan! I really appreciate that! :)
What a great tutorial! Thanks for posting and sharing!
I personally LOVE the painted look. Looks more artistic and organic. Anybody can airbrush, so it makes the cakes more "valuable" when they are hand-painted. :)
i love watching ur videos, i learn so much from u, thanks for taking ur time 2 show us ur techniques i appreciate it.
Thank you Evon! I appreciate it! :)
So delightful that you share your techniques. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much Jana! :)
Hi Jodie! Thank you for following my work and for your kind words! I really appreciate it. :) I've never heard of madeira mix? What is that? So curious! :)
i am excited to try this! seems so easy!
Obrigado Ana!!! Saudações a Portugal! :)
Very informative Laura! I have to try this on a cake soon!
Airbrushing is SUCH AN EASY technique. Anyone at all can do it. My background before caking has always been painting and drawing so going back to my roots, plus I personally feel hand-painted cakes are much more artistic and more valuable. You can definitely charge more for a hand-painted cake than just an airbrushed cake. :)
Thank you for this painting demo.
It’s my pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for watching! 😃💕
I just love this technique..great work as usual..
Thank you so much Rachael! :)
Thank you Frawla. I'm glad you like the technique. Like I mentioned in the video, you can use any high alcohol content extract like lemon. I like to use vodka because it doesn't leave a flavor behind. If you don't mind your cake tasting like lemon or any other flavor, then you can use any of those. :)
You're very welcome! Enjoy painting! :)
Super cool... thank you for the tutorial, very helpful!!
So glad you enjoyed it Griselle! You're VERY welcome! :)
I usually use vodka too but without the cake :)
Lol
😂😂😂😂
This is such an old video you will probably never see this comment but thank you so much! I'm making a cake for my son's birthday and this helped me so much more than other videos I saw today. Thank you!
Hi Sandy! We read all of our comments. We appreciate you watching this video. :) You're very welcome and so happy this tutorial was helpful to you. :)
@@krazykoolcakes that is amazing, I'm so glad you read my comment. I wanted you to know how helpful it was, I truly appreciate it. Keep rocking those Krazy Kool Cakes!!!!
You are VERY welcome! Glad you liked the leopard technique! :)
Thanks for the video! You helped me a lot with what I needed to do when I do my first fondant cake :-)
Katrina Tibon You're very welcome Katrina! :)
I appreciate that!!! THANK YOU! :)
I usually use alchohol/gluten free extracts or natural flavors with anything I make, they have been pretty good so far. I'm going to try both this and the lemon technique and just use whichever works best. I still use this method for cakes that I make for most other people, though. Thanks!
Thank you for responding so quickly!
thanks a lot it's so beautiful!! a question you paint on royal icing or sugar past?thanks!!!!!
Hi Laura, I did my Mom's birthday cake this way and it was awesome. I used clear rum because I didn't have vodka, but it work just the same;0) thank you for this awesome tutorial;0D
youre a great teacher!
This is awesome! I work at a Ben and Jerry's and piping more intricate designs on ice cream cakes is such a hassle, in and out of the freezer every 15 minutes so the ice cream doesn't melt, I'm going to try painting.
Thanks, I'll have to try it for my next project. :3
Wow, thank you for responding so quickly. I have a grill cake to do today and I am donating to my Mother in law's office. I am using this opportunity to practice hand painting so if it isnt good with the rum, i will know without upsetting a customer, I will let you know how it works out;0)
HI Maggie, Thank you. :) We buy our fondant. Fortunately, we don't have the time to make it. :) I've never hand-painted buttercream so wouldn't really know. :)
You're very welcome. :) I've never tried painting buttercream.
hi laura i love the way you use in coloring the cakes i have one question can i use other liquid than the vodka and again you are really the best
What do you mean you used wilton butter flavoring? For what did you use it?
That's awesome! :)
Hola me encantan tus videos una pregunta se puede usar esta tecnica con el color negro. Gracias y de verdad me han servido mucho tus videos.
This makes slot things easier!!
Thank u for the fast response:-) !! I have MS but was ask to do a very large cake for my step mom so I'm not wanting to wait until the last minute and do it all, do I put it in the refrig right out of the oven,or let it cool,and do I put it in bags or seran wrap,if wrap how many times would u suggest wrapping it....
Awesome! Thank you! :)
Great technique, you cannot find many hand painted cakes. Your awesome. Btw how one the fondant does not melt when you apply the wet paint? I was just wondering about that. One day I want to bake cakes.
haha!! definitely going to try this, can't wait to paint some epic pictures on cakes so thank you!! Is it best to use gel food colour or do the standard more liquid ones work as well?
can you paint in butter crean too ? thanks very helpful
Do you cover your fondant covered cakes when you refrigerate them? Just thinking about the condensation after painting them.
I love it but can I do that in a icing cake? Thank you!
Haha! I LOVE that! :)
Thank you! :)
I just wanted to know what brand fondant do u use??
Thank you for this tutorial Laura! Wondering how far ahead I could do this (want to make and paint my own wedding cake but not the day before)? Can you layer colours like a regular painting? For example, once you painted this blue and let it dry, could you go over with a different colour without the blue showing through?
Hi Mimi! I would do it no more than 2 days prior as you really wouldn't want your cake to be more than 3 days old by the time you wedding comes. You can layer the colors, just be sure to let each layer dry before applying more color on top. :)
You're very welcome! :)
Hi. I've never tried painting on buttercream so wouldn't be able to answer that question. The only extract I've ever tried is lemon. You can try it but I can't guarantee it will work.
Try using Americolor super black. It's a truer black. Wilton tends to come off purple at times.
Thank you so much!
I forget to ask you an another question....you let dry the cake outside the fridge or in the fridge and how many time please? thanks!!!!
Hey laura:'3 Thank you!
Buut what kind of brushes do you use? I mean, I haven't even started with my 'cake-buissness' yet, so I have no idea, but you don't use normal paintbrushes?
I am new to baking and would like to know where to buy the cake board that you display the finished cake on? also do you hold cake decorating classes?
Hi Emilee! I wish you the absolute best! I've created several tutorials to help wonderful people like you and your Mom. I hope you enjoy them! :)
Thank you so much 😘
You're very welcome! :)
que tipo de pintura es? es de la de gel? con la que se pinta el betun? ^^ perdon por tanta pregunta Gracias¡¡¡
at the end of the video you say that you put your cakes in the fridge and decorate in the morning...I once tried to stack tiers the next day and the fondant cracked...do you happen to know why that might have happened or maybe tips so that doesnt happpen?...thank you so much!
Hi Ynka, If you mean if you can paint on buttercream icing, I've been TOLD you can. I've never done it so not 100% sure. :)
I tried black wilton and lemon extract. The color stayed blue (even when I added more color) and lumpy? What can I do?
can u store the cake back. in the frig after its been painted
I've never tried it but it might work. :) Let me know how it works. :)
Thanks! :)
You are correct. :)
What kind of fondant do you guys buy? I'm very comfortable using buttercream but I need to start experimenting with fondant. I just don't know which one to pick, the options are just so overwhelming.
We usually use Fondx or Fondarrific. You should try them. I'm sure you'll enjoy working with them. :)
Can you use water as a substitute for vodka?
Hi :) , I've seen this technique in quite a few videos and they all say the same as you can use any extract but the vodka is best because of no lingering flavor and I totally agree. However noone ever states the proof of vodka they use,what proof of vodka are you using. cheaper vodka has a lower proof so lower alcohol content but will the cheaper vodka still work?
May I use clear rum?
I thought I could never refrigerate the tiers after they are covered in fondant because when the cakes come out of the fridge and sit on the countertop for final decorations, it will condensate (sweat) underneath the fondant and cause bubbles and bulges. Please let me know your advice. I am always waiting to bake within 24 hrs of delivery and I usually get no sleep the night before becuase I'm still decorating.
how do u keep the cake from being dry if u put it in the refrigerator
This would be a great video to take a shot every time you mention Vodka!
Not at all. LOL. Definitely not good to drink vodka at any time. Thanks for watching! :)
Hi where can I get coloring to paint on cakes could I just use food coloring?? Plz respond thanks:)
I cover my cakes with fondant after they've been refrigerated for a very long time. :)
What should I do if my fondant become crumbly when I go to roll it out:)
Do you make your own fondant or buy it? I would love to see you make it, mine always comes out too sticky. I was also wondering could you paint the icing itself rather than fondant? I know some people prefer the icing over fondant and I wasn't sure about painting icing?
P.S. Love your videos!
hi so with reading other comments if I was to use the hard icing and get it really smooth I could paint on it correct? I was asked to do a full fondant cake but hate it as most people don't like so much sweet on cake...I'm doing a strawberry shortcake themed caked and had some ideas for painting one of the tiers...plus I do use the soft icing and I get great reviews on its taste...TIA
Hi Jinny! Yes you can paint on buttercream icing. It won't be as smooth as fondant but still doable. :)
Could you paint a very hard icing? I can do it on iced cookies but that icing probably isnt suitable for cakes. I love to paint but am intimidated by fondant modeling chocolate & gum paste at this time as its beyond my currant skill level plus Im not crazy about the taste either. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
How do you avoid the brush bristles sticking to the "water color"
Most definitely. :)
You said the vodka dissipates, but would it be safe to use even if I can't have alcohol for medical reasons?
Hi there madam,just wanted to ask if what kind of coloring did you use?ist a food coloring?thank you!
Hi! Yes it is a gel food coloring. You're very welcome! :)
Can marshmallow fondant be painted?
Hi can I put on a second coat just to make the colour look richer?
Hi! Yes, definitely. Just make sure the first coat is completely dry before doing so. Thank you for watching! :)
Hi. Definitely don't want to use regular food coloring. I suggest GEL food coloring. You can find them at any cake supply, craft store, or even WalMart sells them. You're very welcome. :)
Hi Laura, Do you have any tips on marking the squares on the cake.
Hi! Yes I do actually! I would like to invite you to view my tutorial on how to create a quilt pattern on a cake. I would measure and mark the lines the exact same way using my pie chart paper, but for the squares, just make the lines straight down and across. I hope it helps!
Good evening, pls how long can it take to dry completely,, and pls can I also use Edible spirit to hand paint.
Hi and thank your watching! The amount of time it takes to dry completely depends on how many layers of color you add and more importantly, the environment in which you have your cake. I live in the desert and the air is very dry so my painted cakes dry in just a few minutes. If you live in a humid/hot area, then it may take longer. In our rainy season I use a refrigerated air unit in my studio to avoid condensation which delays hand-painted cakes to dry. I hope that helps. :)
Never heard of that working but no reason to doubt you. :) I guess it's OKAY if you don't mind your entire cake having an extremely strong taste of lemon. LOL.
Will this work on the marshmallow fondant? How
Can I make it ahead without problems?
I've made homemade MMF before and painted it and worked fine. I can't guarantee you won't have problems as I am not familiar with your fondant technique, baking, icing, etc.. :)
Wondering why you have decided to hand paint lately vs airbrush?
can you use water or something elles
What do you use for the white colour in the waves? Thanks for the video!
You're very welcome! I use white gel food coloring. Thank you for watching! :)
thank you!:)
Thank you! :)
