@laurapoopie Hi i was wondering if you can show me a picture of the mold you used for his hand. I have loooked up and down the aisles of Michaels and cant find it anywhere.Please help!

[laurapoopie]

Hi! Sorry you're having such a tough time finding it. Have you gone to Hobby Lobby? The mold actually looks like the shape of the hand. LOL! It comes in a tiny little package that has clear plastic in front so you can see the molds. The cardboard part of it has green and it comes in a set of 3 sizes of hands. The entire package isn't more than 4" tall. It's really little. Make sure you are searching in the aisle where they have the sculpey clay and molds and stuff. Hope that helps. :)

[ofirayelet]

Yes, thank you so much. your cake are so wonderful, thanks for sharing with us !

[laurapoopie]

You are very welcome! Thank you! :)

[ofirayelet]

HI

Your cakes are amazing. I am just starting to make my one and I was wandering way each bace of the cake has a hole in the middle.

thanks

[laurapoopie]

Hi! Thank you for the wonderful compliment. I'm so sorry but would you mind rewording your question? I'm not too sure what you mean by "bace"? If you are referring to the holes that are in the bottom tier, those are straws I put in there to withstand the weight of the tier on top. :) Look forward to your reply! :)

[josequime]

hey laura u do a beautifull cake, can't u tell me where u buy de mold for the monkey hand

[laurapoopie]

Hey thanks! You can get it at any craft store like Michael's or Hobby Lobby. Be sure to look in the aisle where they sell the sculpting tools and clay. :)

Beautiful cake Laura!

May I ask how many people this will feed, and could you tell me what cutters you used for the hands? BTW congrats on your Marriage and your new venture. You're really doing it chica!!!

[laurapoopie]

Thank you for the congrats and glad you like this cake! This was a pretty small cake. An 8" and a 6". Probably feed around 28 or so.... Really depending on how they cut it. :)

[kandeesfan316]

[ladamadenegro74]

Ola Laurita , Q tal?

Una pregunta tienes una cutter en particular para las manitas d los changos? O los haces a mano? Me pidieron un pastel d monkeys y pues hay q complacer al cliente! Y q mejor q los tuyos para aprender.

buenas noches,

Olga

[laurapoopie]

Hola Olga! Que riza que me preguntas sobre los changitos y las manitas porque acabo de terminar de hacer unos changitos para un pastel para el fin de semana que entra. Si, las manitas estan hechas con un juego de manos que consegui en Hobby Lobby. Los encuentras en cualquier "craft store'. Los tienes donde venden als cosas para hacer esculturas. :0)

[lovemakingcake]

Laura y las bananas las hiciste d royal icing q puntilla usaste? o son echas de fondant. y para las palmeras y el tronco usaste algun molde o algun cortador? Laura muchas gracias por tomarte el tiempo de contestar todas mis preguntas te lo agradesco mucho.

[laurapoopie]

No preocupeis. LOL. Los platanos fueron esculptadas a mano y las palmeras las corte nomas de pura vista. :0) De nada! :0)

[lovemakingcake]

como para no gastar fondant se gasta menos si haces el circulo/ me podrias explicar como lo haces y como quitas la parte de abajo del circulo ya que lo cortas alrededor?

[laurapoopie]

LOL! Si el pastel va estar encima de esa parte de el "cakeboard" no tiene sentido tener la base tapada de fondant porque ni se va ver. Se gasta menos si cortas el circulo debajo de donde va irr el pastel. Ese fondant lo puedes guardar y usar para otra cosa. Me explico? Hago el circulo usando un cakeboard redondo del mismo tamanio que el "tier" que esta mero abajo. Nomas agarro unpicadiente y pongo puntitos alrrededor iluego de pura vista lo corto con un cuchillo o con el pizza cutter.

[lovemakingcake]

la base la venden en michaels sale muy cara?

[laurapoopie]

Puedes comprar una oja grande de foamcore como por $5. Yo la mayoria de las veces le saco 2 cakeboards a una oja. :) El foamcore es 1/2 pulgada de ancho. Ojala esto te ayude! :0)

[lovemakingcake]

como cubres el board con el fondant la envuelves en plastico y luego la cubres con el fondant si porfavor me das esa informacion te lo vo a agradecer mucho.

[laurapoopie]

Nomas le embarro "shortening" a el foamcore iluego lo cubro con el fondant. Se pega muy facilmente.

[lovemakingcake]

hey laura me gustaria saber si me puedes decir que tipo de board usas es de hielo seco y donde la consigo y como le haces el circulo donde vas a poner el pastel haci viene o tu lo cortas y que usas para hacer el circulo?

[laurapoopie]

Hey. Uso foamcore para la base. Se compra en cualquier "craft store". El circulo no es necesario. Yo nomas lo corto para no gastar fondant. Se corta con un cuchillo o con un "pizza cutter". :)

[laurapoopie]

Thank you so much! Yes they are! You hit the nail on the head! :0)

[PalomasAPrincess]

your cakes look awsome! how much do you charge for cakes like this one? im trying to get into doing these kind of cakes

[laurapoopie]

Thank you so much! For this type of decoration I charge more or less around $8 per serving. :)

@laurapoopie ok! :) Do you give lessons? I tried to make an ocean-themed cake for my son's 1 year old birthday in February. I made fondant creatures...totally LAUGHABLE but it was so fun! lol

[laurapoopie]

Unfortunately, at this time I don't provide lessons but am planning tutorial DVD's for the future so keep watching! I'm sure your creatures were adorable. :0)

Thank you so much! Wow! What an honor to know that you've been able to use my videos to help you create cakes! That's WONDERFUL! I'm pretty much self-taught as well! I've been baking cakes seen I was a teen and did minor decoration but it wasn't until I saw my friend Mayen's awesome cakes here on YouTube that I started decorating cakes SERIOUSLY! I've had a blast and I STILL love it! :0) Keep at it girl! :0)

[laurapoopie]

Thank you! I appreciate that! :0)

[jaskerry]

I love the expressions of the monkeys!! And I love them holding the letters too. How did you cut out their hands? They are all so uniform! And I noticed you airbrushed the cakes seperately? I was stacking and then airbrushing when doing two (or 3) tones. Great job again!

[laurapoopie]

Thanks Kerry! Glad you liked it! :0) Oh, yes, there are little hand cutters I bought at Hobby Lobby. You can find them in the aisle where they sell the clay and sculpting tools. :0)

[azeboi2005]

OMG this is super cute! I love the monkey's Laura, I wish more people would order stuff like this from me so that i can do characters like this! A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!

[laurapoopie]

Thank you Mari! :0)

[amklush]

Hey Laura.. im trying to find a cheap place to buy satin ice on the internet.. where do you get yours online.. do you get yours on ebay at all??

[laurapoopie]

Hi. I've never been able to find Satin Ice cheap. :( I buy it from global sugar art. I didn't know they sold it on ebay! :)

[Messiet]

Those little monkeys are adorable!!! Love their expressions. Great looking cake.

[laurapoopie]

Thank you so much! I miss my little monkeys! :( LOL!

[cindycg29]

Aww I love monkeys, so awesome , how long do u usually take to make a cake like that, and can I ask how much u sell them for??

[laurapoopie]

Thank you! The actual decoration only took about an hr. Making the monkeys took several hours dispersed among a day. I charged my client $9/slice for this cake because of the hand-sculpted elements. :0)

[0251276]

love this cake Laura... the monkey's are so so cute.... especially their expression. xxx

[laurapoopie]

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you liked them! :0)

[laurapoopie]

[sgtroest]

Laura your monkeys are adorable. How did you make their hands, is there a cutter?

[laurapoopie]

Thank you! Glad you liked my monkeys! Yes, the cutters come in a little pack of 3 different sized hands and you can find them at any craft store like Hobby Lobby or Michaels. Be sure to look for them in the aisle where they sell the sculpey clay and all the sculpting tools. :0)

[mississchic]

Who doesn't like monkeys? TOO CUTE! This is one of my favorite. I love monkeys and blue and green are my favorite colors. The monkeys look like they're having a great time. The clouds look so light and airy like marshmallows. I'm hungry now. I got to mention the bananas, there's just enough and placed just right.There's a lot but not too many, perfect. I am so impressed with this cake! OK, THIS IS MY FAVORITE! Then you'll make another one and it'll be my favorite too, LOL! I heart U! XOXOXO

[laurapoopie]

Aaaawwww! You're awesome! I'm SO HAPPY you liked it! And the little monkeys! I heart U too! :0)

on your monkeys all the little hands and feet are so precise and nice... do you hand cut those or use a cutter?

[laurapoopie]

Thank you! I use a cutter of course! There's no way I could ever get the hands and feet that perfect. Can you imagine! LOL! I'd be cutting hands and feet for weeks! LOL! Glad you liked it girl! :0)
