Decorating Cupcakes: #4 Monarch Butterfly

[sjemke100]

i dont have the patient for that

[xAiiRPLANES]

Wow it's so pretty.. Well done. :]

[noorie21t]

one word for you

WOWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!

[434hotchick06]

I love your theme song! its so catchy :-)

[crazy4llamas]

How do i get the templates?

[yoyomax12]

@crazy4llamas They are in the book "hello Cupcake"

[yoyomax12]

@crazy4llamas Link in the description box

[YankeeDoodlePoodle]

wut do the sprinkles represent??

[thwalkingcatastrophe]

@YankeeDoodlePoodle Monarch butterflies have white spots -.-

[Aliwoof23]

The wings are fantastic :'D

[Sarah360ify]

i just want to tell you that i just found your channel and i have watched so many of your videos. i am planning like 5 different things i'm going to try your cupcakes out for. These look soooo difficult but you make them seem so easy. keep them up :) and thank you

[skulker78]

Seriously, your videos are the best. Love the way you speed up certain things and tell us other suggestions or options. Thank you!!! Made some today. You've inspired me and made me look amazing to my 5 year old. Lol. Now we'll get the rest of the family's opinion tomorrow. ;) thx!!!!

[McSmarties21]

If you have a butterfly mold that is just the right size would that work also? Thanks I love your videos!

[JamilaHossain]

can the butterfly wings be made a few days ahead of time? or will they go bad?

[yoyomax12]

@JamilaHossain They would be fine done a few days ahead, just store them in a plastic bag or container

[alpha23000]

Dam,I am sorry,didn't look the older comments,I got my answer :)

[alpha23000]

My favorite cupcake idea for sure,those look fun to make and eat.Also,is it possible to use white chocolate for the wings and antennas(sorry if it is misspelled,I'm french) I love white chocolate better.Awesome work!

[Leopardstar12]

@yoyomax12 okay thank you :)

[Leopardstar12]

@yoyomax12 all My parents could find is brown candy melting wafers. Does food coloring work on that or would trying to color it be a waste of time? (Also) I'm a teenage girl, and your videos have really gotten me interested in cake/cupcake decorating and I want to take it farther than just a hobby. Thanks :)

[yoyomax12]

@Leopardstar12 Don't think you can tint the brown ones. You could use some white chocolate as a contrast and they still would be pretty

[jailedan]

@Leopardstar12 u need oil based food coloring.. water will destroy the chocolate, i think

[12345gourmet]

thank you

[seddiefan4ever]

can you use white chocolate or just normal chocolate? please reply, im making cupcakes for my cooking assignment

[yoyomax12]

@seddiefan4ever Regular chocolate or white would be fine

[seddiefan4ever]

@yoyomax12 thank you :D ^_^

[LWR38]

How stable are these butterflies once they are on the cupcake? I am making them for a friend but they will be taken from my house to another house. I've had a mishap with cupcakes not being able to survive past all of the bumps in the road before. I would hate to make such beautiful cupcakes and end up ruining them during transport!

[ClaudiaSparrow]

@LWR38 Maybe you should assemble them there, if possible.

[yoyomax12]

@LWR38 These are pretty stable once on the cupcake as long as you put on enough frosting to support the wing angle. The melting wafers are pretty solid in the wings and shouldn't crack or break on you

[LWR38]

@yoyomax12 Thanks! I made a few at home and took the rest to assemble at the other house. But, the ones I had fully assembled did survive the car ride and stayed in perfect condition!

[yoyomax12]

@LWR38 Excellent!

[enidahof]

it look fantastic

[jramo3]

can u use peer frosting and will it dry

btw loove ur cupcakes im gonna do tht for my sisters bday

[yoyomax12]

@jramo3 I don't know what "peer" frosting is. You could try to use Royal icing on waxed paper, letting it dry and prying it off.

[12345gourmet]

I love all your videos especially all the beautiful decorated cupcakes design.... what is the technique to melt candy chocolates? My chocolate turned out so hard and lumpty not even smooth like yours.

[yoyomax12]

@12345gourmet I melt mine in the microwave at 50% power. I also add a bit of vegetable shortening to it to make it fluid

[LoveLittleKittys]

sooo pretty!!

[funfun223lol]

does the chocolate melting wafer taste like chocolate or white chocolate? i love this cupcake btw :)

[yoyomax12]

@funfun223lol The chocolate wafers have a mild chocolate flavour to them (like "chocolaty flavoured" candy, if you know what I mean). The other colours taste a bit like white chocolate

[BeautyKillerMF]

Do the color of the melts determine the taste ? 

[yoyomax12]

@BeautyKillerMF They all pretty much taste the same

[M0N3t7]

I have to hide my melts now...my family keeps eating them. -_-

[MsDoglover111]

BEST BAKER EVERY ONE OF MY FAV YOUTUBERS

[whocareswhatgender]

y does it say that u removed it? :(



[yoyomax12]

@whocareswhatgender Must be a you tube glitch because I didn't remove it and I can still watch it, hopefully it doesn't last long!

[lisanguyen727]

you deserve my sub!! thumbs so she can see plz!

[yoyomax12]

@lisanguyen727 Hello! please know that I read each and every comment, I used to, until recently, be able to answer all of them too. Thanks for the sub and for taking the time to comment

[lisanguyen727]

@yoyomax12 OMG YOYOMAX12 RESPONED! I Feel special :3

[TheNatalac]

I really liked that! And its doesn't seam hard at all! They are beautiful!



[SuperGiraffeElephant]

very beautiful!

[MissHeavenHearts]

Hi yoyomax12!?! love your tutorials! ;D

Here in ireland we call the candy melting wafers - "buttons" lol. We only have them here in white and chocolate though :(

[Canonpedua12]

@aya78473 I really doubt that you're in the 3rd grade, typing like that. Anyways, we wish our mothers made cupcakes and other food like that for dinner and dessert. Some of us grew up without mothers, or mothers who kinda sucked. So yeah.

[cuti3pi3key1]

Thats neat

[supisto]

@aya78473 You are kind of right, but remember that we all are joking here. Don't take things too seriously buddy ;)

[familiee123]

Only problem, once I finish doing this, I won't be able to eat it, or let anyone else eat it. Its so pretty.

[StudioVibe]

This is awesome. I love how you use every day items to make amazing treats. I definitely dont want to spend momey on fancy tools if I dont have to. C:

[mig43211]

awesome <3<3<3<3

[mandmauckland]

Those candy melting waffers, I always called them chocolate buttons.

[AyameAnimeFreakYaoi]

I used this with the sun flower cupcake for my mom's bday. She loved it It was amazing~

[ILovePuppies4321]

You make really beautiful cakes!

[annubisTH]

[missaddictedmac]

wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww beautiful

[yoyomax12]

@missaddictedmac Thanks for watching!

[5varelas]

i made these for my daughter's 3rd birthday, in purple, pink, and light blue. They are just exactly how you show them and are so precious all lined up on a tray!! What a job, though!! My husband couldn't believe after he saw them done that i drew out those wings individually by hand - so time-consuming! But, completely adorable and quite a show-stopper. :)

[yoyomax12]

@5varelas I bet they were so pretty all different colours! I would love to see a photo!

[5varelas]

@yoyomax12 Well, they were not nearly as perfect-looking as yours, but i was proud of them. :) How would i show you a photo? I would be happy to do so, i just can't figure out how. {scratches head in techie-confusion}

[yoyomax12]

@5varelas couple of choices, if you have facebook (I'm Tammy Yoyomax on there) you could friend me and then tag one of your photos with my name (I would be informed) or you could just email them to me at Yoyomax12(at)gmail(dot)com

[yoyomax12]

[KristinSparkkles]

Amazingly simple! Thanks :) And your videos are to the point also; I love that! *two thumbs up*

[yoyomax12]

@KristinSparkkles Thanks! :) I don't like videos that spend 5 minutes talking about ingredients, I just like to get to it!

[TheSlytherinPride]

wow.. you outline the wings so perfectly

[yoyomax12]

@TheSlytherinPride Thanks! :)

[Treeleaveswithshrimp]

This will sound really dumb, but do the orange melting wafers taste like orange?

[yoyomax12]

[oOPokeOo]

[yoyomax12]

@oOPokeOo Template is in the "hello cupcake" book but all you have to do is go to google images and print out a butterfly image and trace around to make one 

[jlcolwill]

[yoyomax12]

@jlcolwill Thank-you! :)

[yoyomax12]

@AlmondsBoo Thank-you! :)

[NanoAyat]

WOW ur awesome !!! thank god i found u on youtube :DDD

[yoyomax12]

@NanoAyat Happy you found me too

[SugaBit]

Where do you get the patterns at? And do you just print them out on regular printer paper?

[yoyomax12]

@SugaBit Pattern was in the hello cupcake book, just regular printer paper but with waxed paper placed over top

[VictusIncendia1]

Thx! I made these and they turned out really well, but I couldn't find melting wafers anywhere where I live. I used butterscotch chips that time, but I was wondering if adding food coloring to melted white chocolate chips would work?

[yoyomax12]

@VictusIncendia1 If you use food colour it has to be oil based so it doesn't make the chocolate clump up

[coolcat10fromecobuds]

i LOVE your cupcake ideas, soooo, I CLICK SUBSCRIBE!!! :D :D :D

[yoyomax12]

@Lindaa1120 Thank-you!

[gra1997]

i did this and my antenna kept breaking :( lol i swear i made like 100 antenna :) para que las alas se sostengan yo use marshmellows cortados y los puse por abajo porque no tenia caramelos :)

[yoyomax12]

@gra1997 Sorry you had trouble with the antennae!

[Kiaraovalle]

This looks too pretty to eat! I love the look and detail. Esto esta hermoso, esta tan lindo y bien hecho que no se puede comer. :-)

[yoyomax12]

@Kiaraovalle Thanks! :)

[Peskey2010]

I made these today and they turned out great! Thanks!

[yoyomax12]

@Peskey2010 Thanks for letting me know!

[lallettinax]

sorry but i'm italian and i didn't understand what the orange thing that you used for made the butterfly is .

[yoyomax12]

@lallettinax The are called "candy melting wafers" they are small disks of melt-able candy that come in different colours, you can also tint white chocolate with food colouring to get the same effect

[MissLuvMovies]

I've got this book but it's really annoying because they don't sell melts where I come from X(

[yoyomax12]

@MissLuvMovies I have discovered that you can use white chocolate chips and tint them with paste food colour (not liquid food colour)

[MissLuvMovies]

@yoyomax12 Wow! Why didn't i think of that? Thanks! Will try it as soon as possible :D

[toutglase21]

muy lindo y una pregunta que es lo que le colocas para que se sostengan las alas? bueno felicidades por su hermoso trabajo ,,, un fuerte abrazo

[yoyomax12]

@toutglase21 el traductor no se tradujo esta correctamente. ¿Quieres saber lo que es la celebración de las alas? o lo que las alas están hechas de?

[toutglase21]

@toutglase21 bueno mi pregunta es en el video parece que colocas una uva o que cosa es para que las alas se mantengan levantadas? bueno gracias por su tiempo ........y saludos y bendiciones para usted y su familia

[jenastar27]

@toutglase21 son jelly beans, dulces de gomitas, tambien puedes usar batun.

[toutglase21]

@jenastar27 muchissimas gracias por la respuesta y por tu tiempo que ten gas un excelente dia

saludos

[mariposita2980]

@toutglase21 puedes poner unos m&m los o cualquier chocolatito o dulce es solo para que se detenga no se ban aber!

[mariposita2980]

@toutglase21 lo ase de chocolate las alas y se sostienen con chocolatitos!

[paumartinezf]

@toutglase21 Ella para que se sostengan las alas usa jelly beans, puedes usar también M&ms o cualquier dulce que ayude a sostener las alas, después lo cubres con la crema si quieres para que no se vean

[noonie503503]

AMAZING! wow, you have TALENT!

[yoyomax12]

@noonie503503

thank you!

[coolgirlwitheadphone]

how did you cut the bag?

[yoyomax12]

@coolgirlwitheadphone I used a pair of scissors.
