This makes me so happy! You can do it! Send a pic when you finish it, I'd love to see 💜
Gm Karolyn. I've yet to make a cake but I'm learning so much from you.
You'll kill it when you actually do it! 😊😊
You are an amazing cake decorator
Wow, thank you! I really appreciate that 💜
I love all your videos, thanks for sharing. I use tylose powder mixed with a little water but mostly when I’m adhering letters to fondant or gum paste.
Yes! The gum glue, I totally forgot about that! It works really well.
I usually use water or piping gel or royal icing for my cakes. However I have heard of people using karo syrup. Love your videos! Love to learn new tricks!
Thank you Sharalyn! Karo syrup is a great idea, I have to try that.
Hey Karolyn! That cake is epic!! Thankyou as always, for sharing your knowledge & skills! Another "glue" I use is Royal Icing. Its a very firm hold but not especially forgiving! xoxo
Yes!! I forgot about that one thanks for the reminder!
Thanks for sharing as always.. Love always from NJ 💜💜
I got you girl! 😊💜
@@KarolynsKakes I just purchased the shortening from Walmart yesterday. I really wish I could get the sweetex, but I definitely know that 50lbs is too much. I wish they offered smaller container sizes.. ugh! lol . I also wish you offered classes because I would definitely drive there from NJ!!😊💜 [Hint Hint 🤣]
Thank you for sharing
Iv noticed gold card stock on sides of cakes how do we attach those please?
This is very helpful. I made small fondant bows with a mold. I was looking for a quick tip to remove the cornstarch. I'm new at using fondant, so I'm starting with small shapes. Thanks.
You're welcome, glad it was helpful!
Hi I am a new subscriber from Perth Western Australia 🇦🇺 Karolyn, love your work! A new one for you to add to your list is tylosin and water two tablespoon and 1/4 teaspoon tylosin mix and after an hour it becomes like Thick syrup. I also use the other options you suggested thank you for sharing 🎉 I enjoy watching your video ❤
Yes! That's a great option as well, thank you for sharing!🙏
I like to use Karo Syrup (clear )sometimes
I love your cakes and your videos. Im always hoping I see a new video of yours whenever I go to UA-cam. Thought I’d mention that another glue I often use is a solution of Tylose and water.
Thank you Robyn! Right now I post on Wednesday and Sunday mornings, hopefully I can do it more frequently soon! 🙏
And I totally forgot about the gum glue. It works really well!
Great info, thanks a lot.
I like to use glucose to stick parts of decoration on cake board. And I like to make edible glue out of tylose powder, just mix up some water with tylose powder until you have glue consistency، I use it as a replacement of water to adhere parts of fondant together
Yes! I totally forgot about gum glue (the tylose). And I never used glucose, that's one I'll have to try too!
@@KarolynsKakes yes give it a try but be aware that glucose doesn't adhere fondant with another piece o fondant at all🤍
I’m learning so much in the cake community!
I make gum glue also. That is one of my most used methods.
Would you use the tylose glue in the same way as piping gel (i.e. could it hold heavier piece of fondant to another piece?
I had never thought of shortening for attaching decorations
It's really so good when you need the ability to adjust as you put them on 🙌
Hi... can u please explain how long u keep frozen buttericing coated cake outside before you cover with fondant cover..
And how you make your fondant toppers dry
Thank you so much. I laughed when you said that the school boy would not fit on the bus.😅 💗
😂😂😂 Luckily that isn't a big deal with cakes!
Hi when using card stock on cakes what’s the best way to add it to a cake without staining the paper. Or what’s the best paper or material to use when printing cake decor
How do I fry your marshellow fondant recipe for cake toppers. I just followed one of your videos. Made the fondant, and did name and number topper… I’m letting it air dry? I hope it doesn’t breaK! Anyways.. you are my fav and have helped me so much
I make the toppers a few days in advance and let them sit at room temp to dry. I always add tylose powder to the fondant to help stiffen it up! And I make them thick enough that they won't break!
I love all your tutorials! How do u adhere an edible image to the side of a cake frosted with Italian meringue buttercream? I’ve tried to place tiny chocolate donuts on a candy cake and ended up using toothpicks because they started sliding as the cake came to room temp. And can u keep the cake in the fridge with an image on it? 🙏🏻 thanks for your time
I never use Meringue Buttercreams, so I'm not sure what to recommend about that. I'm sorry!
What did you use when it didn't work?
Here is info on refrigerating cakes:
ua-cam.com/video/vBKi-O7v98w/v-deo.html
I love your videos, they are really helpful and thanks for sharing your knowledge with us... Can I kindly ask if I can use these methods on buttercream cakes? I don't cover my cakes in fondant because I always fail(rips, lumpy and overall messy) so I only use it for decorations and I have had them slide down the cake( I don't know if the temperature outside does add to this)
Yes! Most of my cakes are iced in buttercream so I do it all the time!
@@KarolynsKakes thank you 😊
🥰🥰🥰
hi. wonderful instruction. can you tell me if the cake is frosted in buttercream or fondant. thanks.
Thank you! The cake is iced in buttercream 😊
Hi. I love your work. In doing a wedding Cake with Buttercream, what do I need to use to apply Fondant Draping to the Buttercream, not covering the Cake with Fondant.
I would apply it with piping gel or buttercream icing.
Hey Karolyn! I’ve been watching your videos for almost a year now and they’ve been really helpful since I’ve started my baking business! I’m going to be working with fondant for the first time ever for a cake that I have to have done by Sunday. I have to apply fondant triangles to a buttercream cake for a Pebbles and Bam Bam cake this was very helpful. I’m just curious to know is it ok to let the cake chill in the fridge overnight before applying the fondant pieces?
Definitely! All of my cakes get iced and then refrigerated overnight before I start decorating them. I prefer to do it that way so the icing is solid and it won't get messed up when I'm decorating it. Good luck, you got this!
@@KarolynsKakes thank you! ❤️
Hi, love your work! Do you make your own piping gel? If so, would you mind sharing the recipe? Thank you!
Hi Brian, thank you! I personally always have purchased the piping gel. I use either Wilton or CK brand.

South Jersey girl here, we say ‘wader’ too!
Because that’s the right way to say it! 🤣🤣
Quick question! I have a tall cake next week with American buttercream completely covered with sprinkles. Should I ice the cake, refrigerate, take out of refrigerator and paint it with one of these methods and then put sprinkles on or should I put sprinkles on as soon as I put the icing on. Do you have a video on sprinkles? Lol. I love your videos!!!
I personally like to refrigerate it first and then decorate it so I don't mess up the icing.
Here's a video!

Ong! Thank you so very much!! You saved me, lol! You are the best!!
Beautiful cake!
How many servings or what are the cake sizes on that cake?
That's 4 / 6 / 8 tiers, feeds 40-45 😊
Hi Karolyn can ask I want to attach a plaque it’s long and it is dry can I still use piping gel to attach it to the side of my buttercream cake?
Thank you in advance
I do that all the time, so yes! If it is heavy, you'll want to anchor it to the cake with toothpicks so it won't slide down.
Do you tylose powder on the fondant borders?
Yup! I add tylose to all the fondant I use. It just makes life easier LOL
I laugh every time you say " if it's warm out" I'm in the UK , I only have to worry about melting for 2 weeks in a year 😂
I saw on TT that you guys don't have central air because it never gets really warm for too long! Cakes must love the weather over there 💜
Have you ever thought about doing a one on one class via zoom or hold a class? If so I would totally join
I'm looking to put a course together some time soon. If you took a class, what would you want to learn?
@@KarolynsKakes I definitely wanna do tier cakes like how do your party cakes for kids/teens cause your aesthetic is different and I want that lol.
@@KarolynsKakes and a fondant covering class
I have told you this before! I would totally take a cake business tip (dealing with customers) class from you.
How did you stick that fondant1 ony he top of cake
Here's how I make that number topper. There is a skewer in the bottom and I stick that into the cake.

What other methods do you use to stick decorations to your cakes?
Wafer paper glue (made out of shredded pieces and water. I learned from You Tube channel: Astashkina cakes
@@louiselemon9717 Interesting!! Never heard of that, I'll have to try it! What does she recommend using it for?
It’s used as glue for wafer paper flowers
I have used a little bit of corn syrup. But usually I only use water and piping gel.
Hi have you ever tried gum glue?
Yes! And I totally forgot about that too!
I use corn syrup
DUHHHH!!! Why didn't I think of that?! Totally gonna start doing that too 🙌
I also use corn suryp.
I use Royal Icing as “glue” for certain decorations. I notice that you don’t use much Royal Icing. I usually have some on hand because I also make a lot of decorated cookies. That may be why you don’t prefer it…since your business is mostly cakes. Totally get that.
Exactly! I rarely make it, so I usually don't have it on hand. But it does work well as glue!
Are all those decorations edible images on fondant?
The characters are edible images on fondant. The letters for the name are just fondant. 😊
Approximately how tall are your 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 12 inch two layer cakes when baked and decorated
Usually 4.5 - 5 inches tall.
