I'm about to make my very first stacked wedding cake for Sept 10 wedding. I'll be using 18, 16, 14, 10 pans sizes. Thanks for the inspiration. Love the personal story that went with this video. How inspiring and touching. :)
I love your cake, I also love making them. but your cake is gourgeous, can you tell me the steps to make this cake. I need to make one for my brother's aniversary can you help me by telling me how did you made yours. thank you. my email is yazminprietopascual@yahoo.com.
I don't think my original comment went through... First of all, this cake is very lovely! Can you please tell me approximately how many servings this would serve? Thank you.
it must have been really scary delivering the cake !! i would be so scared transporting it, its so beutiful i bet they didn't want to eat it just keep it and liook at it
Wow this is so great! I've been doing alot of thinking and want to try my hand at this. It looks like alot of work and practice. But just seeing how wonderful your cakes are I know that I have to try. GREAT Job Again!
How many hours did you make for this cake and how many hours did you make for the flowers? Can you eat the gum pace and what was the other thing did you put on the the flowers.
I'm going to have my first ever go at Fondant Cake designing tomorrow. And I was going through some of your vids (the flower tutorials!), they were really helpful and I can't wait till tomorrow and to get started on my own cakes! Inspiring!!
so beautiful!!!! great job. i was wonering the same thing what were the pan sizes?? your tiers are perfect. you can see it looks a little off center i thought, but when you spinned it it was dead on!!!
Thanks. The bottom tier looked off center bec of the positioning of the flowers on the left side... it did look like it was more on the left... but the cake was really on the center. i gotta be more careful next time.
Hi Mayen! Your cakes are beautiful!!!! Good job! How many days ahead do you bake your cakes? Do you have a time line that you follow? I'm asking because my sister is getting married and she asked me to make her wedding cake. I've never made a fondant covered wedding cake before. I've done it on cupcakes. So if you can give me some advice, that would be great! Thank you and have a nice day!
Thanks--- Once fondant is applied on the cake, it cannot be put back in the fridge again--until after the event for the leftovers. And the icing in room temp is ok for up to two days ( well the one i use is swiss meringue buttercream and that is good for two days ) but refrigerated , it's good for ten days. so for me , i make the cake two days ahead of the event, even three days is ok-- bec u need to crumb coat etc, but once fondant is on there...the time should not exceed two days
I LOVE your cakes, they are so creative and very beautiful - i have always wanted to learn how to do this, do you recommend a good book to start with for a complete novice??
thank you :) there will be two major tasks in making the cake-- one-the cake itself, two -- the decor in the outside. if you want to concentrate first in working with fondant, you can use box cakes for the mean time. i took that route... then later on, i started making cakes from scratch. for fondant tricks and stuff... wilton has a good book and all craft stores have that. if you want to try kid's cakes -- debbie brown's book is excellent ! (all of them actually)
Mayen that story is such a beautiful one. What lovely people. You seem like such a lovely person yourself and you deserve lovely friends like them. I'm sure they absolutely LOVED the cake. You're amazing. x
i cling wrap the cake first then put in in a box. if it's too big for the box , it is entirely wrapped with cling film/wrap and i put it in the base (floor) of my van when traveling. I have sworn NEVER to transport a cake alone , and someone should be near the cake to guide it during turns.
Oh my gosh that is amazing! I'm gonna make my first wedding cake with fondant soon and I'm super nervous! haha. My plan is to use a strawberry buttercream but I'm afraid that it might discolor the (white) fondant. I'm still looking for a really good cake recipe just the standard vanilla flavored type as well so if you have any suggestions it would be super appreciated. Congratulations on an exquisite job!
i havent tried using strawberry buttercream yet-- but i have used darker colored icing and then put on white fondant on top of it and no color bleeds out. for the recipes--seriouscakes has videos showing the recipes... you may want to check those out :)
thanks you for appreciating my story... i will always remember the people who take that extra step and push you further than you ever thought you could go. having someone believe in me is something that i will always hold dear and in my lowest points it's something that helps keep me afloat :)
i usually use store bought fondant and there are many brands you can choose from. it will all be a matter of preference really, some will like what you dont like and vice versa... what i can recall is that the most widely available store fondant--really does not taste good. so why not check other websites and try bakels or satin ice brand or choco pan.
very very very carefully !!! haha! I wrapped it in clingwrap and put it in a box but the box was not big enough..so in the car, it stayed in the box but when it was time to take it out, we just had to take the cake out with the clingwrap on it. it felt like it weighed a ton even though it was not that big. fondant really weighs the cake down.
What a beautifully crafted cake !! I am also starting in cake decorating, and I tell my husband that if I can only get to be be as good as you... U seem so sweet :D Gosh after seeing all ur cakes I would love to see the reaction of the people that they're for!! You should tape them LOL AWESOME JOB GIRL!
you are so sweet :) there is absolutely no reason why you cant be better than me ...you just have to want it enough . i dont consider myself good at what i do.. i always want to be in the 'progressing' stage... so that every new work should be a challenge for me. and i know you can do it -- just give it a shot. i honestly believe that the will to learn this is more than half the battle. :) keep me posted ok !
this is beautifull!!! i have never made fondant cake and i want to try it my wedding is this saturday do you think i can do it?? i wanna try a small one!!
Really nice. I love the flowers. I haven't used a lot of gum paste. It does dry quicker than fondant but they are really, really hard. I haven't had the opportunity to do a wedding cake yet. It is such an important cake I hope someone will trust me to do theirs one day! I know they loved it.
im just starting know and i wish one of my friends would show up at my door with a kitchen aid mixer, i want one so so bad but they are really pricey, a good cake for good friends KEEP BAKING AND KEEP POSTING BECAUSE KNOW U INSPIRE ME!!!
hi. i learned through watching others here on youtube :) thanks for appreciating my work. it's a tricky process for me at first but i was detrmined to learn it , and that is always half the battle .
wow ur soo good !! keep it up! its ur wedding cake and its wonderful ! u did an exelent job , if I would be the bride i dont kno wut to thank u bak its like so beauteful that its so hard to pay u bak
hi. i'd say 90% --- all from here on youtube...10% on books i bought from ebay. for demos, i watch the youtube videos over and over again! and then for the recipes i go online and find one that suits my taste... i also look for good recipes and designs in books.
I hope this question isn't too prying, but how much did it cost you to make it? I know that it must have taken you hours, and days to make this beautiful cake! But I must ask how much did the material cost and fondant and color and everything cost? Thank you for all your videos!! Beautiful cakes as always!
WOW!! Your first cake!! You did a great job and your gumpaste flowers are wonderful!!! I love using Satin Ice as well. Taste better than some other brands :) I bet your friends were blown away by what you made for them with their gift to you!! How wonderful!!!!
Mayen, Your cakes are incerdible! I recently have started a cake decprating fetish. Started by my mom who made the most amazing buttercream cakes when I was a child. I was wondering if you would provide the shop names you purchase your supplies? I live in New Zealand so the online stores would be great. Thanks and again great job!
Really nice for your first wedding cake! I'm very interested in making fondant cakes myself and your cakes inspire me. I've made one cake using marshmallow fondant so far and it only makes me want to make more. Do you have a dowel going through the whole cake to support it? How do you transport such a huge cake?
thank u. there are lots of dowels in this cake. if you can find the video from epicuriousdotcom on how to assemble a wedding cake, that is pretty much how i did it. and to transport a cake like this--- i do it VERY CAREFULLY. haha... someone must be at the cake's side at all times. i did not have a box big enough so i clingwrapped it all over.
This cake along with the story about the couple you made the cake for is very inspiring. I cannot belive you are new to making wedding cakes, this look like an expert cake. I have just starting using fondant and gumpaste, what is the secret to getting such nice flowers and pretty colors. Could you explain in details how you put all the decorations on the cake. I would really appreciate your help. What is the name of the fondant you use and do you use a machine to get it thin? Thanks
Hello sorry it took a while to respond. the flowers are gumpaste and should be rolled as thin as you can and the colors are enhanced by petal or luster dust. for this type , you can either roll the fondant or use a craft /pasta machine to roll it out thin. the fondant i use is satin ice.
Wow! I am impressed! I almost thougt that the flowers were real. And, like you sade, '' It is my first fondant weddingcake'', it's very beutiful!! Congrats to the grum and the bride! (: Bye, Mayen!
mayen.....i was wondering....i really love the flowers you made for this wedding cake....is that any cutter or mold that you use for that and what kind...i love them so badly.....it looks so professional and looks so perfect
hi! I just want to ask what kind of fondant you use for covering the cakes and for makiing the decorations? and if you make them yourself? your videos are really inspiring, i've been wanting to try fondant for so long, but it just scares me. thanks for the videos.
Are you sure this is your first wedding cake? LOL. Just kidding. This is really beautiful and I am so impressed! Great great job :) How do you get the diamond impressions in the cake?
What a beautiful cake!! That story touched me. That is so nice of them to give you a kitchen aid mixer. I have a couple of questions for you because I am a bit of a novice too!! Lol! How did you make those pretty petunia's? Is there a special cutter for that? How did you get them and the leaves to stick to the sides of the cake? How did you get that diamond imprint on the sides of the cake? And how did you dowel a 4 tier cake in the middle? Any help you could give me I would really appreciate:)
Thanks! It's amazing when people give so selflessly...it sends out positive karma and i think my cakes are better bec they believed in me !
To answer your questions:
- the flowers were made using a petunia cutter and veiner set.after the flower gets pressed into the veiner, i used a flower wire with my premade stamen & pistil centers--and i threaded that through the flower and i had it hang upside down to dry.
Thank you again for being so kind to help me! Wow, those petunia's look so real! I think I will have to invest in a set :) Thank you again and keep up the good work!!
Mayen!! ANOTHER FANTASTIC CAKE!!! you need to apply to Ace of Cakes lol How much fondant do you usually go through and do you usually buy the 20lb tub or make the fondant yourself?
Thank you!!! Id apply to Ace of cakes even if means being the sweeper lady haha... just to bask in the talent of these people will be enough for me...and i'll cross my fingers hoping some of it would rub off me lol. I use a LOT of fondant! I buy the 20 lb since it becomes a huge value cost-wise compared to buying small tubs.( even if i dont use it all up, it's good for a year anyway-- i usually use 5-8 lbs) i buy small tubs in emergencies though.
fantastic. brilliant. amazing. beautifuulll! i honestly cant believe that this is your first wedding cake! everything looks perfect. really well done x
Thanks :) It was pricelss to see the bride's face light up when she saw it. And it was hilarious when they did not want to cut the cake --during the 'cake cutting' part since they did not want to 'destroy' it :)
Hi. There are a couple of ways used to make the fondant stick to the cake...one is to use a glaze (like apricot glaze)--which i havent tried before, and the second way is to use frosting or icing. For #2 it is like having a completed cake and then 'wrapping' it in fondant :) I have used vanilla and chocolate buttercream for most of the stuff i have made. hope that helps. there's a video by cookingupastory on 'fun with fondant' that shows the process.
ATE! i am here, i was in maryland 2 weeks ago! grrrr, i could have seen you and ur family! im in NY right now =( ampunin mo nalang ako "guru"! hahahaha. ate how do u make the actual fondant?
my goodness! you should have called me :) are you coming back here anytime soon? anyway-- i buy the fondant sometimes, and in emergency cases, i make it. Store bought fondant has a more uniform texture-- more predictable... homemade fondant is much cheaper, much sweeter-- but has the occassional 'bumps' caused by the powdered sugar... but it still works :)
this cake is so pretty and i watched all your other videos and all your cakes are so good!!! keep making videos cause i enjoy seeing your new creations!!
Beautiful Cake..I am so happy for you. I am planning to start baking and decorating as well.Your video's really spark me.May I know what cake do you bake for this wedding cake? Thank You....
Thanks a lot :) The cake was made out of chocolate cake, and chocolate frosting -- the bride is a sweet tooth and i guess many of her guests were -- including me !!! Many others stay with the traditional white cakes for weddings ... but you can do whatever you want -that's where the fun is :)
Hey. you have some really cool cakes and stuff. I love to bake cakes and want to grow up to make them as a career. I have always had trouble with frosting, and never knew about fondant much. I think I will be testing it out soon and if I do I will try to get a picture or something to you.
hi sam, thank you ! hey , you can never be too young or old to try new stuff ( tammy of tammyscakes is 14-- and look at her--she's on a roll! ) ..and when you do try this, pls show pictures! I am honored when someone says they get inspired somehow...you can't put a price to that--and i am gratefully inspired back by the people who care enough to watch my videos and those who are generous in teaching us here on the youtube community!i'll look out for your posts :)
hello! you're really good at this... how did you made the whole cake? is it all edible? how i wish i could make my own wedding cake... hope you can help me how to do that... thanks and regards! =)
salamat :) the wedding cake is 'all cake' and pretty much 'all edible'...except for the wires used to hold the flowers ...and the cake boards :) have you ever baked before? i can email you some tips if you want. a couple tries will definitely help you in making your dream cake ... just email me ok :)
hey mimzy... i followed your crumb coating advice and i think i have gotten better with this cake since the sides look even & straighter to me now :) yahoo! thanks for appreciating this cake . means a LOT :)
I was So happy to see the bride's face when she saw the cake and gave me a HUGE grin and a bear hug :) Both the bride and groom hesitated to slice the cake when it came to the cake cutting part of the ceremony... and i found that hilarious :) i heard her say -- "do we really have to ( slice it)?" i just loved it... and knowing that they will have one more nice memory marker for their wedding is more than enough for me :)
My eyes almost fell out!! That cake is just stunning! The flowers were lovely, who cares about anatomically correct when they look so perfect? You did a fantastic job and yeah, stand mixer is such a huge help for us cakers :) That's awesome that they had such faith in you and look where you are! You have arrived :)
sniff... thank you so much :) they loved the cake as well and nothing compares to the feeling that your labor of love has been appreciated very much :)
TAMMY :) you just gave me goosebumps...thank you for appreciating my work. I hope to make better cakes in the future ... if it will make you smile , i will try harder of course !!!
You are just naturally gifted in making these cakes... O.o WOW, I tried making a fondant cake..it was fun, but didnt look close to anything like your cakes. Hahaha. Awsome KEEP IT UP!!
THANK YOU :) it was fun making the flowers. i hope to be able to post pictures of them in natural light -- i just had to make a video tonight since we have to bring the cake out to the reception area very early... thanks for appreciating them :)

hi. i'd say 90% --- all from here on youtube...10% on books i bought from ebay. for demos, i watch the youtube videos over and over again! and then for the recipes i go online and find one that suits my taste... i also look for good recipes and designs in books.

A job well done! I'm sure your friends appreciate it a lot. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

I hope this question isn't too prying, but how much did it cost you to make it? I know that it must have taken you hours, and days to make this beautiful cake! But I must ask how much did the material cost and fondant and color and everything cost? Thank you for all your videos!! Beautiful cakes as always!

Mayen, Your cakes are incerdible! I recently have started a cake decprating fetish. Started by my mom who made the most amazing buttercream cakes when I was a child. I was wondering if you would provide the shop names you purchase your supplies? I live in New Zealand so the online stores would be great. Thanks and again great job!

Really nice for your first wedding cake! I'm very interested in making fondant cakes myself and your cakes inspire me. I've made one cake using marshmallow fondant so far and it only makes me want to make more. Do you have a dowel going through the whole cake to support it? How do you transport such a huge cake?
jaskerry 3 years ago
thank u. there are lots of dowels in this cake. if you can find the video from epicuriousdotcom on how to assemble a wedding cake, that is pretty much how i did it. and to transport a cake like this--- i do it VERY CAREFULLY. haha... someone must be at the cake's side at all times. i did not have a box big enough so i clingwrapped it all over.
09165067633 3 years ago
This cake along with the story about the couple you made the cake for is very inspiring. I cannot belive you are new to making wedding cakes, this look like an expert cake. I have just starting using fondant and gumpaste, what is the secret to getting such nice flowers and pretty colors. Could you explain in details how you put all the decorations on the cake. I would really appreciate your help. What is the name of the fondant you use and do you use a machine to get it thin? Thanks
modelchickny 3 years ago
Hello sorry it took a while to respond. the flowers are gumpaste and should be rolled as thin as you can and the colors are enhanced by petal or luster dust. for this type , you can either roll the fondant or use a craft /pasta machine to roll it out thin. the fondant i use is satin ice.

mayen.....i was wondering....i really love the flowers you made for this wedding cake....is that any cutter or mold that you use for that and what kind...i love them so badly.....it looks so professional and looks so perfect
ladybee24 3 years ago
hi! I just want to ask what kind of fondant you use for covering the cakes and for makiing the decorations? and if you make them yourself? your videos are really inspiring, i've been wanting to try fondant for so long, but it just scares me. thanks for the videos.

Are you sure this is your first wedding cake? LOL. Just kidding. This is really beautiful and I am so impressed! Great great job :) How do you get the diamond impressions in the cake?
tnrjardot 3 years ago
What a beautiful cake!! That story touched me. That is so nice of them to give you a kitchen aid mixer. I have a couple of questions for you because I am a bit of a novice too!! Lol! How did you make those pretty petunia's? Is there a special cutter for that? How did you get them and the leaves to stick to the sides of the cake? How did you get that diamond imprint on the sides of the cake? And how did you dowel a 4 tier cake in the middle? Any help you could give me I would really appreciate:)
InLoveWithCakes2 3 years ago
Thanks! It's amazing when people give so selflessly...it sends out positive karma and i think my cakes are better bec they believed in me !
To answer your questions:
- the flowers were made using a petunia cutter and veiner set.after the flower gets pressed into the veiner, i used a flower wire with my premade stamen & pistil centers--and i threaded that through the flower and i had it hang upside down to dry.
09165067633 3 years ago
Thank you again for being so kind to help me! Wow, those petunia's look so real! I think I will have to invest in a set :) Thank you again and keep up the good work!!

Mayen!! ANOTHER FANTASTIC CAKE!!! you need to apply to Ace of Cakes lol How much fondant do you usually go through and do you usually buy the 20lb tub or make the fondant yourself?
jenneeee 3 years ago
Thank you!!! Id apply to Ace of cakes even if means being the sweeper lady haha... just to bask in the talent of these people will be enough for me...and i'll cross my fingers hoping some of it would rub off me lol. I use a LOT of fondant! I buy the 20 lb since it becomes a huge value cost-wise compared to buying small tubs.( even if i dont use it all up, it's good for a year anyway-- i usually use 5-8 lbs) i buy small tubs in emergencies though.
09165067633 3 years ago

Really lovely! This must have been so special to your friends. What was their reaction when they saw the cake?
hdblissbomb 3 years ago
Thanks :) It was pricelss to see the bride's face light up when she saw it. And it was hilarious when they did not want to cut the cake --during the 'cake cutting' part since they did not want to 'destroy' it :)
09165067633 3 years ago

So im pretty new to the whole fondant thing and i was wondering if you have to use a frostin under the actual fondant itself and if so what kind?
MichelleKos 3 years ago
Hi. There are a couple of ways used to make the fondant stick to the cake...one is to use a glaze (like apricot glaze)--which i havent tried before, and the second way is to use frosting or icing. For #2 it is like having a completed cake and then 'wrapping' it in fondant :) I have used vanilla and chocolate buttercream for most of the stuff i have made. hope that helps. there's a video by cookingupastory on 'fun with fondant' that shows the process.
09165067633 3 years ago
ATE! i am here, i was in maryland 2 weeks ago! grrrr, i could have seen you and ur family! im in NY right now =( ampunin mo nalang ako "guru"! hahahaha. ate how do u make the actual fondant?
blossom803 3 years ago
my goodness! you should have called me :) are you coming back here anytime soon? anyway-- i buy the fondant sometimes, and in emergency cases, i make it. Store bought fondant has a more uniform texture-- more predictable... homemade fondant is much cheaper, much sweeter-- but has the occassional 'bumps' caused by the powdered sugar... but it still works :)
09165067633 3 years ago
ate mayen! u are a genius! hands down!

Beautiful Cake..I am so happy for you. I am planning to start baking and decorating as well.Your video's really spark me.May I know what cake do you bake for this wedding cake? Thank You....
catjimai88 3 years ago
Thanks a lot :) The cake was made out of chocolate cake, and chocolate frosting -- the bride is a sweet tooth and i guess many of her guests were -- including me !!! Many others stay with the traditional white cakes for weddings ... but you can do whatever you want -that's where the fun is :)
09165067633 3 years ago
Hey. you have some really cool cakes and stuff. I love to bake cakes and want to grow up to make them as a career. I have always had trouble with frosting, and never knew about fondant much. I think I will be testing it out soon and if I do I will try to get a picture or something to you.
Thanks for inspiring me with new ideas.

I was So happy to see the bride's face when she saw the cake and gave me a HUGE grin and a bear hug :) Both the bride and groom hesitated to slice the cake when it came to the cake cutting part of the ceremony... and i found that hilarious :) i heard her say -- "do we really have to ( slice it)?" i just loved it... and knowing that they will have one more nice memory marker for their wedding is more than enough for me :)
09165067633 3 years ago
