Monkey Fondant Birthday Cake!

[maryreyes67]

Hi Laura,

you use white fondant and then airbrushed it with the colors? It will be my first time to attempt this.Also, is it better making the homemade fondant or store bought, to airbrush it.,

[laurapoopie]

Hi, yes white fondant and then airbrushed. I wouldn't say one is particularly better. There really is no difference in what it does to the airbrush paint. It's a matter of the airbrushing technique I suppose. I usually buy my fondant on the internet. :)

[lloSyuddSta]

Kiuteee . Can u gimmie some tips for icing ?

[laurapoopie]

Thank you! Tip: always great to use a large straight edge to make sure your icing is nice and smooth. This will ensure your fondant is smooth too! :0)

[Twiinky26]

Lol thank you so much! It helped a lot :)

[Twiinky26]

Im a big fan of ur cakes lol they r awesome! Lol I make cakes too but I have problems charging them. . I dnt know if.i charge too much or too little. . Help! :(

[laurapoopie]

Thank you so much for the wonderful compliment! If you often feel short-changed then you're not charging enough. If you feel like you ripped them off (LOL!) then you charged too much. A decorator should always charge according to the quality of their work. Figure out your time and effort and see how much you're basically paying yourself per hour to make the cake. If it's too little, then you're not charging enough. Hope this helps! :0)

[Twiinky26]

This is veryyy cute haha the trees and bananas def. are for the monkeys !! I like the color combo too pretty!! How in the world did you make those hands though.. they look perfect!

[laurapoopie]

Thank you so much! Glad you liked the decorations and the colors! Well, on the first monkey I made the hands and they came out all deformed. LOL! :) So, I remembered that I had seen a tiny little hand cutter at Hobby Lobby and I bought it for $2! It made the job SO much easier! LOL! :)
