My Etsy store is NOW OPEN!!! Please visit at: http://www.etsy.com/shop/laurapoopie?ref=si_shop

This is a monkey themed birthday cake for a beautiful little girl turning one year old! She was even wearing a matching little monkey sweater! ADORABLE!!! The entire cake was airbrushed using my Americolor airbrush colors. The little monkeys were sculpted by hand with gumpaste. The trees are made with gumpaste and fondant.

  • 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.,

  • 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. :)

  • Kiuteee . Can u gimmie some tips for icing ?

  • 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)

  • 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! :(

  • 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)
