hi, im new to making fondant cakes. im fourteen and i just wanted to know if for covering your cakes, do you always use your MMF recipe? or something else, and can you do a how to on making the ghosts? i wanna make a similar cake for halloween this year. and what gum paste do you use? i really love your cakes and hope to be as talented as you one day!
Hi Mayen! I've been admiring your videos for quite some time and I want to thank you for your generosity and patience in explaining your techniques to us. Many of ussimply can not afford to purchase bakery cakes because of the expense. You make a lot of children, moms, dads and grandparents so happy. God Bless You and Yours!
Absolutely awesome Mayen. I simply love this cake. My problem is when the wife tries to duplicate a cake that you have made it's not quite right, but she's trying; she says if she can keep me out of the kitchen she can do it. We'll see how that goes, but once again awesome, simply awesome!!
I LOVE your cakes Mayen.. Thank you for taking the time to upload and share all these videos with wonderful helpful tips. I just started making cakes myself. I made a Thanksgiving(Canadian) and Halloween cake. I just watched your video as how to make the pumpkins and its the same as I made mine but I used a toothpick/cocktail stick. Keep the videos coming..They're so appreciated! :)
I love all your cakes! And they inspire me to try and practice. I am just barely beginning and make my father a 50th birthday cake. Anyways love your work
Girl keep doing your thing... and dont stop these wonderful videos... people are just hateing on you thats all.... any who getting to your lovely halloween cake... I love it!!! all the cute detales... I made some pukins like your last year with my daughter and they are lots of fun to make... love your work... keep strong girl friend... God bless...
I really like this cake. And the little pumpkins are so adorable. I love halloween. I'm totally diggin the cake board. And did I know you had a website? It's like I did and yet I didn't. The mummy seems time consuming. Sorry I haven't been commenting, missed you tons. Been sick alot. Hope you're doing well. And I agree with your end message. Not everyone can afford an expensive cake. It's not like everyone will decide to make their own cakes. They'll still have customers.
DIZZY! I dont think I have missed someone here on youtube as mich as I have missed u ! Hope all gets better.... how are you feeling now? email me when you just want to rant :)
Gosh Mayen. I don't know where to start You have an amazing eye for detail.
I love the characters. They are so awesome, they can strike like a hurricane. I also love the pumpkins--they look like those real mini pumpkins! So adorable.
I also love love love love the fence/gate. It was such a nice touch. I have no idea where you come up with these ideas, they are spectacular. Oh and I totally love your board! AWESOME!
Rylan... thanks so much for the wonderful words... I blush when i get them haha :) on the other hand, it is you who should teach us. your cakes are perfectly made!!!!!!!!!!!
Mayen I love your cakes! Your talent is awesome so you keep doing what you do and "let those haters be your motivators". If those folks were confidence in their own work there would be no need for those type of emails. Having an opinion is one thing but being outright nasty is another. Sharing your talents is very BIG on your part! Keep those videos coming! You should take those nasty emails as a compliment to your talent as you are apparently a threat to those so called professionals.
Love this cake mayen!!!! thank you for always sharing with us your wonderful talent, i'm sorry that you get such bad emails but don't worry your work is wonderful don't let them bring you down. :)
Another great cake Mayen! Thanks for sharing the details! Can I ask which Paache airbrush you use? I think I read that that is the brand you have? Are you happy with it? Also how do you decide how much to charge for a cake?
YOU inspired me! I will definitely do this kind in a smaller version --->my cupcakes. Your toppers are happy though its a halloween theme :) Thanks Mayen ^_+
Mayen take courage and be positive. People like you serioucakes, tonedna and all the other lovely ladies and gents that post here are obviously very talented.And it takes great humility to share your talents with others. Continue sharing and you shall recieve blessings seven fold.
very nice halloween cake ate mayen! i love every single cake u made!... i'm sorry bout the nasty emails you get, dont pay much attention to them cuz for a lot of us, you're such an inspiration and very amazing person! God bless you for sharing your talent and blessings with all of us. We love you! :) Keep up what you're doing because you're making a difference to a lot of peoples lives :)
"You go Mayen girl, don't pay attention to those nasty emails...obviously this people are afraid & feel threatened by your artistic & goodnature. If they do loose business is because they are obviously not good at their work!! I luv your work and am a beginner cake decorator...lol take care."
I have a great friend who has taken a bunch of classes at the Wilton Academy. She has answered any question I have ever had. She in turn has a neighbor who has been very instrumental in getting her cake business running. There is enough cakes to go around. Not everyone wants to make their own cakes. Enough people are willing to shell out for a big, expensive cake. If those people aren't getting enough business, they need to look at their product and not blame you. Keep up the amazing, Mayen.
I'm disapointed to here that you have recieved continouse hate mail. Shame of you people. Not all in this world can afford to buy a fancy cake. With these tutorials and other it helps ordinary and less well off people an opportunity to be able to create wonderful cakes for their loved ones. Due to these tutorials on youtube i have been inspired and started a cake decoartion course back in september and in july i'll be creating my first ever wedding cake for my sister.
BOO to those selfish negative folks! I totally appreciate your work in creating your cakes and these videos! If it weren't for you, i wouldn't have discovered my love of cake decorating.
Mayen, I am so sorry to hear that there are a few nasty and may i say - insecure - people out there who are taking time out of their day, to send such nasty emails to you. All I can say to you is we love your work, we are glad that you love ours, and I'll leave you with this one word... Karma.
Mayen, how much would you typically charge for a cake like this, if you don't mind? I am curious to know how many hours you spent on it as well. I LOVE your videos, please don't stop posting!
Mayen, Awesome cake again.You are my inspiration and you have taught me a lot!Don't worry about all the negative energy..Can't wait to see more of your tutorials :)
Sorry to hear you're getting terrible mails JUST BLOCK THEM! But eventhough it's terrible to read those mails you should be very proud because they consider you their competition!!!!
Awesome!!!! I can't wait until I get my airbrush!!! It's coming Thursday, YAY!!! I would love to watch you airbrush a cake Mayen! Sorry to hear you are getting negative feedback :( We all love you so keep posting!!! :)
oh wow! That is one amazing cakes! as always you've out done yourself! You are one of the people who inspired me to go on cake decorating! Thanks a lot!
I can't believe ppl are writing nasty emails to you. I appreciate you and your work and I'm a Culinary student and I make cakes as well. You made a great point about "people preventing others from learning"<-not verbatim :/ Anyways, its wonderful work that u do and you're very talented. Others are intimidated because you have something that's natural. Keep on inspiring the rest of us. :) -Courtney
Thank you for addressing the hater Mayen. Your videos and cakes are truly a gift to people who need something fun during these times that are tough for everyone. Thank you again for taking time to share your tips and talent. There are those that appreciate it.
What a beautiful and fun cake! I love all of your videos and you really inspire me to want to try harder with cakes. I'm sorry you get negative feedback, but as an educator, I am right with you when you say that everyone should be entitled to learn and discover their talents. Keep up the amazing work.
I LOVE it! It's so neat and well done.Thanks for sharing your tips and tricks...and treats :) I was going to ask if you are still using mm fondant, and you are! Thanks Mayen!!
Thank you soo much for showing us all and sharing with us your talent! You're encouraging us all and thats what we all should do encourage each of us to find our creativity!! KEEP SHARING! FORGET ALL OF THOSE "NEGATIVE NEDS" (they are just jealous!)
Girl keep doing what you do! Dont worry about the haters they obviously lack confidence in their own work if they are worried about amatuers learning how to do this and take their business away...You inspired me to start making cakes and I love to do this as a hobby! Its soooo much fun!!! THANK YOU!!!! Ur cakes are top notch!!!!
