Mela Mi thank you!!! ❤️
Very beautiful ❤️
Thank you! 🥰🥰🥰
Bravo magnifique ❤️
Thank you so much! ❤️
So beautiful , you're so very talented
Thank you so much! I'm hoping to get back into painting again soon ☺️. Though I have been saying that for the last year.... 😅. Still, I do love when I get the chance to do it!
Beautiful. You are really talented
Thank you so much! I hope to do more in the future 💖
It's amazing, i was just wondering how to paint on fondant and found your only video😍 you're so talented, also is it just like doing water colour? Paint a layer and let it dry and then do another layer!
Yes! It's just like you described! I think that's were I most messed up when I first started painting on fondant..... I just kept going and going instead of waiting for it to dry lol. Thank you so much! ❤️
I'm new to baking and I was told to use oil based. It was so hard to do and I was searching for another method. Thank you so much for your tutorial. I love to do cake painting eventhough I'm still learning , that's where I want to go.
Yay!!! Another cake painter! ❤️❤️❤️ There’s definitely a bunch of different ways to paint, but I’m glad you found this video, bc I find this one to be the most forgiving method. If you find my Snow White one you’ll see how I “erase” a whole chunk off her head 😂. I’m not perfect. I need that flexibility.
@@FiveTwoBaker I watched it too and the flowerpaste red rose tutorial too. I am going to try. Thank you so much!
Awesome! I hope I get to see your work! ❤️
. beautiful thank you very much
Thank you for stopping by! 🥰❤️
Love this technique!!
Thank you! Takes some practice, but I love it 🥰
@FiveTwoBaker I am an artist but never tried any like this. I am wanting to make fondant disc's like the galaxy to add to Cupcakes. Do you think this is possible with gels?
100%! Thats food gel colors is what I use here. @@shalomflores6199
@@FiveTwoBaker thank you!! I appreciate you answering so much!
This is amazing ❤️❤️
Jess thank you! I hope it helps! ❤️
FiveTwoBaker very helpful, very clear explanation ❤️❤️❤️
This is so helpful thank you!!! You are SUCH AN AMAZING ARTIST!! A few quick questions- did you have to transport the cake back to the fridge at any point? or did you just paint straight? Was the cake frozen? I'm trying to paint on a fondant cake tomorrow and want to make sure that the cake stays but also doesn't create any condensation (my biggest concern ha!) Thank you so much!!
Thank you so much! As far as your question goes- it all depends on your work environment. To give you context, my environment is warm- no AC, the weather outside dictates my weather inside. Because of that I use ganache to fill and stack my cakes that require me to work on them for long periods of time. Then I cover them in fondant, and when they’re in the fridge I make sure they’re boxed. This way when I take them out to work on them, condensation can form on the box while they come to room temperature, and then I can work on them without fear of them melting or sweating.
I wouldn’t freeze your cakes, because the sweat is caused by your super cold cake hitting a warmer environment.
Condensation is really tough to fight, but if you’re boxing your cake, and working in a cool environment, you should be safe.
Depending on how long you take painting you might have to fridge it for a while if you’re using buttercream, but it’s so hard to say because it depends on so many factors!
Maybe I could answer/advise better if you let me know your environment/cake situation? If not, I hope this helps!
Good luck! ❤️
You’re fantastic
You are toooo sweet! 🥰 Thank you! ❤️
I absolutely love this painting technique! Can you do some more tutorials on painting on cakes please? I’d love to see more about getting the perspectives right eg animals, landscapes etc. Well done! Oh- how long did it take you to paint please? xx
Thank you! I love painting on cake, so I’d love to do more! What do you think I should try first? Landscape first?
@@FiveTwoBaker is love to see some adorable woodland animals; badger, Fox, deer etc; maybe with some snow for seasonal christmasness?! Landscapes will be cool too! How long did this one take you to do? I’m also wondering how long I can expect it to take me; from beginning/learning timescale through to once I’ve mastered it! Thanks for relying honey! 🤗🤗 xxx
Oh! So sorry! This one took about 3 hrs for me to paint? As far as how long it would take you, I’m not sure. That part depends on your comfort level wit painting on fondant and if you have experience drawing. I’m not a trained artist, but I did spend years of my youth drawing faces and such, so I felt that helped. Maybe that gives you a reference? ❤️
@@FiveTwoBaker it definitely does give me a reference! I did A level art but that was.... Ahem... 23 years ago now! You’ve definitely inspired me to have a go! (I suspect my faces may turn out Picasso-esque though!) 🤣 xx
Lol stencil it up! Random faces aren’t as stressful bc you do whatever you want, but if you’re copying something like this princess.....stencils are SO helpful!
Would love to see more of these!! Id like to learn more. You do an excellent job with details. My only question is how you blended the face in. You didn’t explain that very well after her face was blotchy after you contoured.
Thank you so much! I've been meaning to get more painting in.... 😩 It's just been so tough to find time. But the next project I work on will definitely be here.
As for the face, depending on how different the colors I'm trying to blend are... I'll either use a dry brush (soft) and sort of "dab, dab, dab" it. Or I might take a clean wet brush (but not soaking, just barely wet with the alcohol) and do the "dab, dab" that way. I'm basically treating it like if I'm doing someones blending of their foundation with a makeup sponge.... but its a cake and I'm using a brush.
I hope that made sense! 💖
Love love your tutorials I’m new in baking but definitely gonna try this. Can we replace alcohol with something else due to religious issue. Thanks waiting for your reply
100% yes! There are a ton of things out there to replace alcohol (but they contain alcohol), so I'd stick to water. It might take a bit longer to dry, but it's totally doable. 💕
Hi ma’am beatiful, just want to ask what kind of brushes use thanks for sharing🥰
Thank you! The brushes are linked in the description ❤️
Hey sister , l like it🥰 love from Sri Lanka ♥️🇱🇰
I'm so glad! 🥰 Love right back to ya from Cali! ❤️
You are very good! I would like to try sometime. But I would like to be sure of one thing! Is the cover made only of white chocolate and cream? And if so, how long should it stay in the fridge before painting? Thanks
Thank you! Im painting on marshmallow fondant. It sets pretty quick, so I’ve been painting on them maybe a half hour after I cover my cake, but that really depends on the environment. It’s cooler and dry right now, for me, so that helps. In the summer, it’s terrible bc I don’t really run my AC. Does that help?
@@FiveTwoBaker Yes! I understand! Thank you so much!
amazing work nice video, looking forward to try it soon.. what is replacement for food grade alcohol?
Thank you! Lemon extract is a substitute that I see recommended. I’ve used it once before and it works just fine, but extracts also contain alcohol! 🤷🏻♀️ so if you’re looking to stay away from alcohol all together I don’t have a great substitute. Just in case- I’m using alcohol bc it evaporates quickly and the amount left behind is super minimal (from what I understand). You can always use water, but it won’t evaporate as quickly. It’ll take longer to finish your piece. I hope his helps!
@@FiveTwoBaker tqsomuch its help a lot 👍👍
This is amazing but what can I use instead of alcohol please?
Thank you! I get this question a lot. Here are my recommendations on what to look for & thoughts, because I'm not exactly sure what you're needs are:
Clear Lemon extract- like the type you would use in frosting or cakes, but it's 80% alcohol.
Evaporex- 100% food grade alcohol.
Baker's Spirits - Also 100% food grade alcohol.
Finally, Water - Downside is because it will take longer to dry, you risk your fondant absorbing it, thus getting sticky, shiny fondant. It works! But you have to be more cautious with your painting.
Basically everything is some type of alcohol, but different places sell it under different names. I hope this helps and you can work with one of these! ❤️
If you absolutely cannot work with any kind of alcohol, then I recommend trying painting with cocoa butters. I'm not very good at it, but I do have demo videos on them, and they're not hard at all to use.
😳 I mean I can’t this is I have no words literally
Teisha Seales i hope it’s a good no words! ❤️😅
Beautiful! I always want to paint on cakes but it sweats all the time especially in the summer. How to stop cakes from sweating? Thanks in advance!
Yes! Great point! So the cake sweating is condensation. If you have it in the fridge and then pull it out into a warm environment, it will definitely always sweat! A pain, but really not much we can do about that. You might be able to calibrate your fridge specifically for cakes, but I haven't look into it too much. I suggest either: working in a cool environment to avoid the condensation; if you think your buttercream gets too soft out, try covering the cake in ganache instead before using the fondant so you don't have to keep putting it in the fridge- a small amount goes a long way; and definitely painting before you need to deliver the cake- because painting on cakes with food coloring and vodka isn't friendly to a fridge, you can't make this way ahead of time.
I know, this was a super long response, but I hope it helps! ❤️
Thank you so much for the reply! So do you mean after painting the cake I shouldn’t put it back in the fridge? If it sweats after painting it’ll affect the painting right? Thanks again!
Saoirse Selkie correct. I’ve put cakes I’ve painted in the fridge and then taken them out into a hot environment (I don’t do AC in my house), and oh man did it sweat! Didn’t totally ruin it, but it did affect it. I have also heard that people will wrap their dry cakes and box them before putting them in the fridge, then when they take them out, they let it thaw in the wrap and box so the condensation doesn’t affect the cake itself, it only affects the wrap. I haven’t tried that, but some ppl swear by it! I hope this helps! I’ll try the wrap myself too soon! ❤️
Thank you so much for the tips! I’ll try that next time :)
Saoirse Selkie so i wrapped my cake, stored it in the fridge overnight, then brought it out the next day and it was fine! Just letting you know my own testing in case you were wondering. 💕
Ιf you put it in the fridge will the design dissolve? Or it's will be ok?
It should be fine. The only time it will dissolve is because of condensation. So as long as you have it covered properly and let it come to room temperature (still while covered), slowly, it should be fine. It's shock that causes it to sweat.
where did u get the tenplate? thank you
Of course! It was just a Google find. I just went ahead and screenshot the image I liked then printed it.
How to store this painted cake on fridge? Thank you
Hi. The biggest problem with cake decor in a fridge is condensation. That happens due to a big temperature change. Given that, my suggestion is to keep the cake stored in a box in the fridge. When you take it out, try to make the temperature change minimal- maybe try having the AC on in the house so its a gradual change, and keep it in the box the entire time so that the condensation form on the box as much as possible. Once its come to your rooms temperature then your cake shouldn't "sweat", or at least not a lot. This will help make sure your decor isn't affected. I hope this helps!
What kind of alchol use
For this one I used vodka. But as long as it’s clear and dissolves quickly, you’re all set. Companies even sell alcohols specifically for cake work, so they dry quickly ❤️. Hope that helps!
Cover cake with butter cream or fondant?
Fondant! Underneath I prefer to use ganache Bc I don’t use AC in my house, so it doesn’t melt immediately. With buttercream I’d stick to simpler or more abstract paintings. I have a few videos on my channel if you’re interested in seeing different painting techniques on diff cake surfaces. Hope that helped! ❤️
Are you painting on sugar paste or butter cream or maybe ganache?
Sugar paste! Homemade fondant to be exact! ❤️
Can I also paint a cake covered with buttercream?
You definitely can, but you're outcome will be very different. I have 3 different painting videos I just uploaded- playlist: Cake Decorating Basics. I think these will help you figure out what would work best for you on buttercream. Each video has a different painting method, and all have a section for buttercream. I really hope that helps! 💕
Please share some tips for making those sharp edges fondant cover 🥺
Jess so I use the paneling method. I have no idea how ppl achieve sharp edges with the draping method. Also, I prefer to have ganache on the outside of my cake. I find buttercream gets soft very quickly, thus losing the sharp edge, and since I work with no AC, it’s just too much hassle for me. I’ll see if I can put a quick something together in the next few weeks ❤️, but for now I hope this helps! ❤️
FiveTwoBaker thank you 🥺
Can i use liquid colourings
You sure can!
What brand of food color are you using?
It’s a mix. They’re all gel food colors, but some are from Wilton, others americolor, and some chef master.
@@FiveTwoBaker thank you 😊
Amazing . Can i paint on buttercream?!
So ya know.... yesssss, butttttt.... not like this. I wouldn’t use this method for buttercream. It would take better with edibleart paints. Also, the painting process would be a bit trickier bc you have to work with a very chilled cake to avoid the buttercream smearing off as you paint. I hope this helps!
Beauty and the beast is my favorite!! As a baker, are you allowed to sell cakes with characters? Is it a copyright issue? I've seen so many character cakes that bakeries sell but was told by another that it's illegal. Thanks.
That's a great question. As far as I know, it's illegal to sell anything with a licensed character on it, unless you have permission to do so (in which case you pay something to the company, or they take a certain % of sales.... something like that is what I remember reading.)
HOWEVER.... people do it all the time 😂.
I don't sell cakes because my county has way too many rules, but if I did sell cakes, I wouldn't sell them with characters because I'm just too much of a worrier.
I'm so glad you like her! I hope this helps! ❤️
@FiveTwoBaker thank you! That's what I thought too. I love Disney but would never do characters myself. I wish I had your artistic skills. I can bake but you are an amazing artist 🙌
@@meganwilliams144 Thank you so much! If only we could team up! I love making the outside, but drag my feet on the actual baking part lol and I have little imagination for flavors.
@FiveTwoBaker I can't decorate well 😅 We're each other's other halves. My favorite to bake is cheesecakes, but I can't sell them unless I work out of a commercial kitchen. It'll take some time before I can do that. Enjoy all of the decorating. It's truly amazing work!
AMAZING💙 COULD I USE JUST WATER FOR PAINTING?
Thank you! You most definitely can. You just have to be more careful and patient because it will no dry as quickly. 💖
@@FiveTwoBaker thank you so much 💕
Hi! How to avoid food coloring from bleeding? Thanks! I have subscribed to your channel.
Artsy Chef ❤️ I haven’t had a problem with bleeding. I also wait for areas to dry fully before going in with another color on or near it. Using alcohol helps the drying. Could you let me know what you’re painting on and what type of colors you use?
@@FiveTwoBaker I would like to try on buttercream and fondant... And which is better to use, gel or liquid food coloring? Thank you so much!
Artsy Chef so at the risk of sounding like a snob..... I don’t paint on buttercream bc I like IMBC and I just don’t see how I could get a good paint job on it. I know ppl paint on crusting buttercream, but I don’t like the taste. For buttercream I’d go the route of painting with buttercream (palette knife painting). I love painting on fondant! It’s super forgiving and it’s homemade, so I think thin layers of it are tasty and if people don’t like it, it’s easy enough to push aside. I use gel food colors diluted in vodka for painting on fondant. Much more color with a very little amount and it dries very quickly! 💕 Also, i haven’t mentioned it in my videos yet, but now that you’re asking, good watercolor brushes are super important for a good paint job! They don’t have to be super expensive, but a smooth, soft brush helps so much! I hope this helps! ❤️
@@FiveTwoBaker Thank you so much for the reply! More power to your channel. ❤
Is it stay long....because sometimes it bleedd
I have not had any issues with bleeding- fondant is pretty absorbent. But definitely make sure your fondant is dry (I speak from experience 😅). Also, you want to take all precautions to keep your cake from sweating. So making sure your layers aren't frozen, and making sure your cake is boxed when in the fridge and stays in the box until it comes to room temp..... those things. Let me know if this isn't clear. 💖
Thank you very much for your prompt and detailed reply
👄👄👄👄😍😍😍😍
Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️
Hey beautiful artist 👩🎨 whr r u from?
Hi! I'm from the midwest. Thanks for stopping by!
Esta precioso lastima que no habló inglés 😔 para poder entender deberías de poner subtítulos en español
No tengo ni idea de como hacer eso! 😫 se que lo puedo escribir directamente en UA-cam, pero creo que sería más fácil traducirlo en voz. Este será uno de los primeros! ❤️
Hola! Acabo de ver que si estas viendo este video en computadora o laptop si puedes cambiar los subtítulos a español. En el teléfono no eh podido (y no se porque), pero ojalá que esto te ayude mientras que yo traduzca los videos. 💖
@@FiveTwoBaker muchas Gracias ya me suscribí a tu canal
Are you drawing on buttercream or what?
Great question. I explain within the first 30 seconds. Enjoy!
PLS IM UNDER AGE IS THERE SUBSTITUTE FOR VODKA
So is the request because you can’t buy it? Or because you think it’ll be consumed? I ask bc I use alcohol bc it dries so quickly. You can use clear extract......but that has alcohol too 😳. You can always use a bit of water, you don’t need much, but the dry time will be much longer. Let me know! ❤️ I also have a few more painting videos coming out where I’ll show alternatives to gel food color painting. Maybe those will be an option?
@@FiveTwoBaker I’m Muslim that why I don’t drink alcohol
@@isatakallon9647 ahhh. Understood. Then I’m not sure if extracts are an option? Hopefully they’re ok. A clear extract will dry quickly. If not I have another cake painting video using color dusts and cocoa butters. Maybe you’ll like how they paint?
Hi there! I simply love what you're doing! Congratulations from all my heart!🫶❤️❤️❤️ cand you please tell me how I can painting a large piece of sugar paste for a very tall cake . Thank you so much!❤️❤️
Hi! Thank you! There are so many ways. You can use gel colors, dry colors, a combination of both. As far as sugar paste, you'll need something stiffer than fondant- so either a gumpaste or fondant with tylose powder. Gumpaste will set up quickly, a fondant with tylose should give you more time in case you need to shape the sugar paste. If you're curious about anything in particular, feel free to ask. 💕 Good luck!
Wooww, thank you so much for your response! You are very nice!🫶❤️❤️❤️❤️
