Very clean cut and neat! I have a question about airbrushing. What colors can you use for airbrushing? Do they have to be "shimmery, and shinny"?

Can I airbrush solid colors on a cake?

Where can I get the colors?

Cheapest Air Compressor/ Airbrush?

Thanks!

[laurapoopie]

Thank you! You can use any color you want really. They make'em in just about every color you can dream of. You can purchase everything online or check around and see if they sell them in your town. I don't know what the cheapest airbrush/compressor is. Sorry can't help you with that. :0) Glad you liked this cake though! Thanks again! :0)

[bakingmycupcakes]

i was wondering how much does a cake like this go for

[laurapoopie]

It really depends on the size and who is making it for you. For a cake like this, I personally charge anywhere from $6 - $8 per slice. :)

[PrayingSquirrel]

VERY pretty cake!

[laurapoopie]

Thank you! :)

[Squidwardmom]

very beautiful!!

[laurapoopie]

Thank you! :)

[Dimons5]

Thanks for your help. Is there a difference with Boba Straws and Blubble straws? I wasn't sure which ones to order.

[laurapoopie]

You're welcome! Actually, I've never heard of bubble straws so I probably won't be much help answering that question. Sorry. LOL! :)

[Dimons5]

I love this cake. Great job, you are very talented. I have a few questions for you. Where do you order your bubble straws? Also what size are the tiers? Are the bubble straws strong enough for a cake this size? Thanks for your help.

[laurapoopie]

Thank you so much! I purchase the Boba straws from ebay. Tons of people sell them. If you purchase them in bulk, they're very inexpensive. Yes, they are very strong. I don't use anything else! :) These tiers, if I remember correctly, were 10", 8", & 6". :)

[weddingcakesforyou]

This is very beautiful!

[laurapoopie]

Thank you! :)

[DontCallMeChrissy]

This cake has an absolutely stunning visual impact - The blue flowers are like BAM on your eyes against the pearly white background. No, you did not go overboard with the flowers. I didn't have that thought at all. Nice, nice work!!!! I love a simple design scheme done this well.

[laurapoopie]

What an absolutely WONDEFUL compliment! Thank you for your kind words! I am SO happy you liked it! :)

[The4manxies]

Beautiful Laura! It's so glamorous.

[laurapoopie]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it! :)

[OTTAVIA99]

Gorgeous!! How do you delivery a cake so big?

[laurapoopie]

Thank you! His name is Frank! LOL! He's a friend of mine that carries heavy cakes for me. He walks slowly and I pray! LOL! :)

[aflood77]

You are so talented. This cake is beautiful!

[laurapoopie]

Thank you so much! You made my night! :)

[redheadfairy2003]

again another Awsome cake... Im looking into a airbrush machine do you have any sugestions?

[laurapoopie]

I would recommend a KopyKake airbrush if you have the budget. They're not terribly expensive but I've heard they ARE the best! :)

[redheadfairy2003]

thank you

[ilescifuentes]

omg laura this is cake is so cute very pretty all of ur cakes are so cute i wish i could make cakes like you.

[laurapoopie]

Thank you SOOOOOO Much! I really appreciate your kind kind words! YOU CAN make cakes like this! I promise! It just takes practice girl! :)

[routex7044]

I love this its such a lovely modern take on a classic I love it well done very chic

[laurapoopie]

Thank you so much! :) I loved your description of this cake! :)

[sprite7fresh]

my parents are getting married on the 30th.i am sure they would love this cake.

[laurapoopie]

Thank! Wish I could make it for them! :)

[dsaldana100]

hi laura! this is a beautiful cake! what do you put on the base before putting the fondant?

[laurapoopie]

Thank you so much! I just rub a little edible glue with a brush so the fondant will be nice and secure to the board. :) Glad youliekd this cake! :)

[amklush]

love the cake by the way!! great job

[laurapoopie]

Thank you! :) It depends on what the client wants and how many servings they want. Sometimes I put a cardboard so you get double the servings out of each tier or sometimes they just want extra talls slices. They have to decide in advance so that they can plan on the size of the plateware. :)

[amklush]

Just a question... Do you put a cake board inbetween or in the middle of each teir.. or when they cut into it the pieces are that big??

[fersean]

How do u do ur frosting??

[laurapoopie]

The fondant or the buttercream?

[fersean]

The buttercream. Can Gumpaste flower be use in a all buttercream cake??

[laurapoopie]

I make a basic buttercream icing. You can find Tonedna1's video here on Youtube on how to make it. Thta's the recipe that I use and she also has it on her website. :) To be honest with you, I PERSONALLY have never used gumpaste flowers on a cake only iced with buttercream, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. :)

[yencna]

Muy bonito me encanto

[laurapoopie]

Gracias! :) Me da gusto. :)

[brooklynmar]

how do you make the daisies i have trouble making flowers

[laurapoopie]

These are just cutouts I bought. Like cookie cutters. :)

[aMyDiCkASoN]

Thats so cuteeeeeeeeee!! Love the white and blue combination, it looks stunning!.. Im sure the bride was happy with it!! Belated Merry christmas and if u dont mind my asking, how much did u charge for that cake?

[laurapoopie]

Thanks Amy! So glad you liked it! :) Happy Holidays to you as well! This cake served 100 people. I ended up charging $500 for it. The bride loved it but I think the groom loved it even more! He went bonkers when he saw it! :) That's a first! :)

[15152278]

Hi there Laura! Sorry I've been absent for a while from YouTube. This cake is fabulous - I wish I could see your cakes in the flesh - videos don't quite do fondant cakes justice. Have a great Christmas and New Year!

[laurapoopie]

Hi Sarah! I've missed ya! :) Hope you're doing well! I know what you mean about videos not doing cakes justice. So many tiny little things go missing on video. Oh well, se la vie. :) I hope you have a blessed Christmas and I wish you a wonderful 2010! God bless you my friend! :)

[dantwaz]

Laura, honey this cake is stunning! I don't really even know what to say. I love the simplicity of the two colours, I don't think you went overboard with the daisies at all, I think it's just perfect.

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas, have a restful break! I think you guys get only 2 weeks off is that right? We have 6 weeks off now! yay!! (cos it's our summer here). Have a Happy New Year, and I look forward to seeing your next cake after xmas!
