I love this video.. I think I'm going to try making the fondant rainbows... I was shying away from fondant now I think it's not so bad

I know a lot of people are scared to use fondant but I actually prefer it, it all takes practice though. I’ve been making decorated cakes for around 10 years now and I’d say 90% of those are fondant. I definitely learned a lot from RU-vid and now I hope that I can pass on some helpful videos too 😊

Is that 4 sheet cakes you would need to bake to make an 18?

Hi, awesome cake !! Please can you share the ingredients/ weights needed for the cake mixture for the size tin you used? Thank you x

@LivingtheCakeLife 2 года назад

Thank you. I don’t remember off the top of my head but I know it was a 12” x 8” tin so I’m sure I used 400g each of butter,sugar, eggs (weighed in shells) and self raising flour plus vanilla extract. X

@alexandraharris161 2 года назад

@@LivingtheCakeLife Hi, may I ask, are these measurements per tin or did you divide this mixture between 2 tins?x

@LivingtheCakeLife 2 года назад

@@alexandraharris161 measurements are per tin, each layer should come out around 1-1.5” thick. Bake low and slow (around 150oC) and it will keep your sponge layer even and flat.

Hi, how do you store your number cake with fondants decorations the day before an event?? Refrigerator, room temperature?

@LivingtheCakeLife 2 года назад

I left this particular one at room temperature in a cake box as it was a cooler time of year. If I was making it in the warmer months, I would refrigerate it in a box (to stop the sides drying out) without the fondant decorations and also ensure the decorations were made a few days in advance so that they were really hard and add them last minute with a little touch of buttercream or icing on the back. 😊

@tatan68eytan76 2 года назад

Could you please tell me what size number you would make for a 10 persons and a 15 persons cake and what would be the weights of butter, eggs, sugar & self raising flour. Thank you.

@LivingtheCakeLife 2 года назад

It’s very difficult to scale recipes for letters and numbers as they vary in such different shapes/portions. What I tend to do is draw out a rough outline of the number/letter on paper and divide it up into portions and see if it’s big enough and work from there. I’m lucky that I have a multi size square tin so I can make it any size I want from 1”-12” so it helps a lot. With weighing out ingredients I just take my recipe for my round cake and use that. For example I use a 300g of each for my 6” round so that would work for a 6” square (I don’t tend to have them as tall as my regular cakes) I hope that makes sense 😊

What is the perfect size for the number cake if you're using a stencil

@LivingtheCakeLife 2 года назад

I make my numbers all different sizes depending on how many servings people need from it and create my own template from that. I know you can buy some stencils that you can cut round or number shape tins but I find them limiting as it’s only one size.

@connorlaidlaw396 2 года назад

Do the edges of the cake not dry out? I am making a number 1 cake like this and I am cautious of the cake drying out at the edges ?

@LivingtheCakeLife 2 года назад

Is bake as close to the delivery/event as possible and you can brush the edges with simple syrup to help keep it from drying out. I made mine two days before, put simple syrup on and kept in a cake box and it was perfectly fine 😊

@ForeverFarrah 2 года назад

I was just about to ask this question. My sides have dried out. Hoping it’s not too late to add simple syrup

Your cake is so beautiful

Thank you 😊

@zaneblane8160 Год назад

Wish you would've shown how to get the stencil..that's important..nice cake though

@LivingtheCakeLife Год назад

I made the template myself. Just drew around two circular tins and added holes in the middle. Because number cakes can vary in servings so much I always custom make my own templates to how many servings are needed 😊
