Might have already been asked so I apologize if so, but, to get all of the shades of color correct, is it simply a game of little by little adding food coloring to the gum paste until you get the shade you want? Does it take to kneading the color in much like fondant does?
Yup. You got it! Add a little at a time until you are happy with it. Gum Paste is extremely similar to fondant, the only real difference is gum paste hardens when it dries.
@@CaketasticCakes awesome! I def think I’m going to go with gum paste over fondant for the paw patrol logo when I try it. Birthday on a Saturday and I hope to get some of the designing done earlier in the week. You recommend not letting them sit in the fridge before adding to the cake right?
@@Drew1734 that's right. the humidity from the fridge can sometimes cause trouble with decorations runny or getting kinda rheumy and gooey. also consider if you are going to put the logo on the top or side of the cake. if on top, it can stay flat and harden that way. if the side, you need to dry it slightly curved to fit the shape of the cake or leave it flat and it will stick out a bit on the sides. once dry, you can't reshape it without damaging it. I would tape my cake pans together (ex. two 6" pans) and then lay the decor on a papertowel over the pans to dry shaped to the proper curve. i hope this makes sense... :)
I use this method all the time for signs etc as otherwise like you said itd cost a fortune buying all the cutters and stuff. Havent made a paw patrol cake as yet but ive just been asked to make a hey duggee one for a friends lil girls 2nd birthday, thank you for all your brilliant tips xx
It adds up! I have a box of print-outs I've used once and held on to in case. If I had spent money on each one of those, it really would've added up! Thanks for watching!
I usually buy it. Here is a link to my website that I show all my tools and materials I use, plus where I buy them. www.caketasticcakes.com/p/tools.html?m=1
Thank you. This was a great help in making my youngest grandsons 2nd birthday cake. mine turned out a little rougher than yours but I am new to fondant. :) Wish there was a way to post pics of how we did. :)
Nikki Elaine oh geez! I don’t envy you! Maybe a cut out of the logo on a white background and then paint it with food coloring? Assuming you don’t have an airbrush... I wish you lots of luck, and share a pic if you don’t mind. I’d like to see it
This is so helpful, I'm making a birthday cake for my grandson's birthday and he wants everything Paw Paw Patrol. Thank you for sharing and I subscribe
Thank you for sharing the tutorial.. The pace is very good... Your voice is pleasant .. It’s easy to follow... I hope you do Dumbo. You deserve 2000 likes😊
Katrina Hardeland all you need to do is keep it flat, dry, and out of direct sunlight. I have a small china cabinet type thing that I keep mine in. I lay them on a flat paper towel and walk away. They really do store easily. Just watch out for humidity- it may make them a little soft or tacky to the touch. And NEVER EVER put these in the fridge! It will destroy them!
Bi Anca you can make these up to a week in advance if you are planning on someone eating it. Keep it covered with a loose paper towel but that’s it. No refrigeration! Beyond that you can still use it as a decoration but it’s not going to taste as good to eat. Very hard a a little stale. However, this hasn’t stopped my kids from sneaking bites out of my older decorations!
@@CaketasticCakes thank you, I have just finished the parts, but my fondant is not as good as your, so I'll wait bit longer to put them together as it needs hardening. What fondant do you use please?
The actual material I use is listed in the descriptions of my videos. You can buy right on Amazon. I use Gum Paste, not Fondant. They are very similar products, but Gum Paste hardens faster so it works better for building decorations. Fondant works better for covering cakes. I actually made a video showing the differences.

Hi, thanks for the tutorial, I would just like to ask the size of the logo you printed
I print these out no taller than 4”, so it will fit on the side of a typical cake tier. I think it was about 4” wide and 3” tall

Did you use gum paste of fondant for this?
Lisa Roberts all gum paste
Can you use Fondant instead of gum paste to make this
yes, you could. It's one of the few I am ok with using fondant on. I don't think it would be a problem since this one is a flat decoration. Thanks!
Do you make your own gum paste or do you buy it
I usually buy it. Here is a link to my website that I show all my tools and materials I use, plus where I buy them.

Great tutorial, thank you 👍
Jane Kilbride why, thank you! 😊
how do you store this? I plan to make the toppers days ahead before I make the cake. TIA!
