This is a birthday cake I made for a little boy turning 5 years old. It's all chocolate with a vanilla/almond buttercream icing. Yummy! This cake was a lot of hard work but VERY fun to make! All the hard work and effort paid off when I saw the huge smiles on my clients faces! All figures are gumpaste and the entire cake is 100% edible!
Haha! You're hilarious Ruby! Thanks for watching it again! That's sweet! :0)
Insults? That cake looks so adorable! You said you were happy with how it turned out, and you should be. Such a fun-looking cake!
Thank you so much L Jones! Oh my gosh... This video is SO OLD. LOL. I can't believe I used to say "insults were welcome"? I would never say that now. Thank you for watching my very old video! I appreciate it! :)
Hi there! Thanks for the wonderful compliment. This cake was A LOT of work and my first time EVER putting this much detail into a cake. So, I really didn't know what I was getting myself into. I didn't charge anywhere NEAR what I should have. A cake of this magnitude could have easily gone for $500 - $600. There was a TREMENDOUS amount of hours invested in the making of the figurines. When charging, you need to take your time into consideration. What it's worth to YOU! Hope this helps! :)
Thank you David!!!! You are SO KIND and I appreciate your uplifting words! Thank you SO MUCH! :)
WOO HOO!!!!!! Thank you! You should've seen me dancing around the cake when I was finished! :)
Wow! Thank you so much! That means a lot! :) I can honestly say that this cake took an entire week because of all the detail. I didn't put it in the fridge after it was covered in fondant. All the cakes were baked in the same day. :0)
OMG I found the video I used to watch when I was 4!!! I don't know why but the cake really makes me feel satisfied...
That's wonderful! Thanks for watching! :)
How cute! Jared is SO adorable! Thanks for watching it again Mayen! I will e-mail you this evening as I have been SOOOO busy with cakes! Love ya! :)
Who's Jared?
Thank you so very much! I actually live in the old western town of El Paso! :) Mission isn't too far from here! :) Glad you liked this cake! :)
You know that I've actually watched Handy Manny a few times on the Disney Channel after making this cake! You're right! It's a VERY good show! Thanks for watching my cake video sweetie! :)
Thank you 1Rosewink!!!! You are much too kind! I'm so thrilled that you liked it! Thank you so much for the encouragement! You rock! :)
Wow...lots of work!...Bet your son loved it!...I did! Glad you loved the icing!
Edna :)
Thanks Amy! You know, when I was done with this cake I stepped back and looked at it and really couldn't believe that I had just done all that work. God gave me the strength and the ability to make this cake. With God's help you can make one bigger and better than this! :)
Thanks Rylan! I'm glad you liked it! For the very first time I purchased RED pre-colored fondant from Satin Ice... I wish I would've bought the blue and the green too! :) I'm happy you liked it! :)
Oh Laura, who would insult you?? Your cakes are beautiful! I sure hope Michael gave you a big kiss!
I especially love all those little tools with the eyes and smiles - so cute!
I Love Everything About the Cake!
Thank you VERY much Alex! :)
That is adorable! Thank you so much! Tell your little boy I said thank you! :)
Thank you very much for the wonderful compliment! Because of the amount of hand-sculpted elements, a cake like this should run around $10/slice. :0) Glad you liked it!
my son could'nt take his eyes off the screen! ha ha ha! great job
Thank you for that! I agree with you there! I think I felt the same way before I started decorating too! LOL! Glad to meet someone with the same insight! :)
Haha! Thank you Ruby! Happy you liked it so much! :) That rocks! :)
Thank you! I made these figures several days before the actual cake. I got some small cardboard boxes to store these in (they have good ventilation). I don't put the lid on the box. Instead I just put a paper towel on top to still let them keep drying. You really want to make sure they are as dry as possible before putting them on the cake. I also added a wax paper liner at the bottom of the box to make sure they didn't stick when I removed them. Hope this helps! :)
incredible talent i just jaw dropped my 3 year old daughter loves the CAKE!!! 20 jealous dislike this how dare..
Thank you so much! I'm glad you BOTH liked it! :)
My youngest nephew is turning one year old in July, Handy Manny is the theme and you just gave me the inspiration to do the cake, thank you!!!
Thank you for the fantastic compliment! I'm so happy you liked this cake! :) Thanks! :)
He loved his gumpaste figurines so much that he had his parents save them in a glass curio box as a souvenir. :0)
Thanks! Only diff is that gumpaste has tylose in it. The plaque is just gumpaste with lines in it and then I painted it brown with Wilton gel food coloring. The letters were gumpaste too. Very easy! :) Glad you liked it sweetie! :)
Thank you Edna! Actually, it was for the son of a client. My children are my doggies! :) Thanks again for the recipe! :)
Absolutely adorable!!! It shows, how much work you put in this. Thanks for sharing.
That's awesome Adalberto! Thank you! I'm sure your cake will be awesome! :)
Thank you! I loved making it! It was a blast! :)
Thank you very much! I agree with you that most people think $2/slice is alot. People that think that don't know the 1ST THING about what it takes to make a custom designed cake. I tell them to go to Wal Mart if that's all they're willing to spend (in a nice way of course). They don't understand that these cakes are a LUXURY and not a necessity which is why they are so expensive. Glad you liked this one sweetheart! :)
Thank you so much! My cakes run anywhere from $5 a slice (super simple) to $15 a slice. It just really all depends on the intricacy of the design. Glad you like my cakes! Thank you! :0)
Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it! Yes, I do make the gumpaste and color it as well... The clouds are just fondant. :)
Thank you so much! I LOVE Anaheim! I go there at least twice a year! :)
Thank you! An extruder is a tool we use to make different gumpaste effects. You insert it in a tube and squeeze it out in certain shapes depending on what little attachment you use. Remember those Play-doh squeezer outer thingies? Kinda like those! :)
Hi there! Thank you for the compliment! I'm glad you liked it! :) These characters took me a total of about 30 hrs. to make so I made them a couple of weeks in advance. It took that long to make. A few hours here, a few hours there... I colored the gumpaste different colors and some aspects of the faces were hand painted. If you'd like, you can message me here on RUclips and then we'll exchange e-mail addresses! :) Talk to you soon and thanks again! :)
Haha! Thank you! Yeah, this cake in a nutshell pretty much represents kids! I had to put myself in a "kid" mindset to make this cake! Glad you liked it! :)
Haha! Thanks for the names! They're adorable! :0)
More info on the Handy Manny characters:
Manuel "Manny" Garcia (voiced by Wilmer Valderrama) - The bilingual Hispanic/Mexican handyman, and the handiest handyman in all of Sheetrock Hills. He has a boxful of anthropomorphic tools, each with their own unique quirk, which he takes with him to do his repairs. He has a reputation for helping everyone, and was awarded with the "Good Citizens Award" last season, after unknowingly repairing his own prize, a trophy. He is Abuelito's grandson and is the brother of Lola and Ruben. Also uncle to two boys named Pepe and Chico. He has never been seen without his hat on until "Wedding Day".
Leonard Francis Lopart, usually called Mr. Lopart (voiced by Tom Kenny) - The owner of a candy store next to Manny's workshop. He is a single middle aged man who lives happily with his cat Fluffy. There hasn't been a reference to him ever being in a romantic relationship, although he does have an excellent relationship with his mother. Mr. Lopart's know-it-all unusually high level of self-confidence, attitude, and refusal of Manny's assistance often lands him in trouble, usually resulting in his falling on the floor or on the objects he lifts. It should be pointed out that Mr. Lopart has accepted help from Abuelito on occasion which suggests the issue he has is actually receiving help from someone his senior. In the episode "Bingo Night", Fluffy throws all of the Bingo pieces on the floor and Abuelito offers to lend a hand. Mr. Lopart accepts his offer. Actually, Manny and the tools did help Mr. Lopart in the "A Very Handy Holiday" special and it's probably the first and last time he will do so. His mother is Mrs. Lopart and he has twin nephews named Lyle and Leland. It was also mentioned once that a relative of his, Aloyius Lopart, was known to have painted the Gift Shop in the Sheetrock Hills Art Museum.
Mrs. Portillo (voiced by Shelley Morrison) - She owns a bakery shop, she's one of Manny's good neighbors and she has two grandchildren. Her husband has never been seen on the show. She has a dog named Carlos. Later on in "Wedding Day" she got married to Abuelito.
Kelly (voiced by Nancy Truman) - She is an owner of a hardware store frequented by Manny and his tools. She also seems to know and have anything and everything Manny needs for his work. It is hinted that she has some feellings for Manny. In the episode "A Day at the Beach", we find out that Kelly is an excellent windsurfer. In "Wedding Day", she catches the bouquet of flowers and she glances at Manny. They both look at each other bashfully. After winning first place in a chili cook-off in "Kelly's Chili", Kelly hugs Manny and they both look away shyly after realizing what had happened.
Turner (voiced by Dee Bradley Baker) - is a flat-head screwdriver who appears to be sarcastic and cynical, who often fights with Felipe whom he considers a rival usually going against Felipe's over confidence. He appears to have a secret soft spot for babies and animals (including birds, kittens, and butterflies) and for dancing, although he loudly denies it.
Pat (voiced by Tom Kenny) - is a hammer who is talkative, clumsy, and not so intelligent, though he does have flashes of cleverness from time to time. He sometimes finds it hard to control his strength. His catchphrase is "I'm a hammer". He is obsessed with nails.
Rusty (voiced by Fred Stoller) - is a monkey wrench (though drawn as a pipe wrench), who is not very brave and is a worrywart, generally being afraid of pretty much anything. Most of the time he needs reassurance from his fellow tools and Manny.
Squeeze (voiced by Nika Futterman (Julianna Rose Mauriello in 3 early episodes)) - is a pair of pliers. She loves to lend a helping hand, and is sometimes impatient to fix something (usually repairs that involve bolts). She also appears to be giggly, girly, and preppy.
Stretch (voiced by Nika Futterman) - is a tape measure who loves to measure things. He can speak out accurate measurements, has a very mathematical mind, has a good memory, especially for numbers and measurements and can use his tape as an extendable hand.
Dusty (voiced by Kath Soucie) - is a hand saw who is very smart and gives good advice. She acts as the big sister of the group and is very good with detective work.
Felipe (voiced by Carlos Alazraqui) - is a Phillips screwdriver who always considers himself a very important tool. He is always over confident about himself. He sometimes thinks of himself as a super hero. Sometimes, his ideas make a problem worse. He provides a lot of the Spanish language content in the show, translating for the other tools. He also loves to sing but is not very good at it.
Flicker (voiced by Grey DeLisle) - Manny's youngest tool (first appearing in season 2) is a flashlight who speaks Spanish and is still learning English, slowly picking up more of the language throughout season 3. He flashes his light whenever he feels excited. In Handy Manny's School for Tools, he seems to be fully bilingual. He was gaven to Manny by his Uncle Hugo. Flicker likes food, polkadots, and Santa Claus.
Beamer (voiced by Steve Moreno) - A laser level introduced in the season 3 episode The Art Show. He is found in Kelly's shop and later adopted by Manny's artist friend Carmella. He first appeared in Handy Manny's School for Tools.
Thanks for the info and thanks for watching! :)
Thank you! The actual baking can me done in one day. The decoration for this cake took me about a week. :0)
Awesome Mr. Lopez! Thank you! I'm SO HAPPY that you all liked the cake! What did Michael think of his cake? Thank you for preserving the figurines. It makes me happy to know that they will be well taken care of! Thank you in advance for the referrals and I look forward to making your wife's birthday cake! :)
I appreciate that WONDERFUL compliment! Thank you so much! :0)
Thanks! Glad you like this cake! If I remember correctly, this cake served somewhere around 70-75 servings. :)
That's wonderful! I bet your clown cake was magnificent! I'm so glad you liked this cake! Thank you! :0)
I've watched this video a couple of times...and im always awestruck!!! Such a wonderful job!! Wish i could make something just close to that!
Thank you so much! I'm glad you like them! The prices really vary depending on the size and amount of decoration. This one was rather expensive due to all of the figures. :)
Thanks Alexis! They can lost for years if they are kept in a nice clean cool place. I would recommend you make them at least a week ahead of time. Figurines can take anywhere from 4 to 10 days to totally solidify depending on the weather and climate of where you live. :)
Thank you! The Mickey is the clubhouse that comes out on the TV show that doesn't have a face. I'm glad you liked it! ;0)
Ha ha Mayen! You're too far away amiga!!!! Come hither! Come hither! Hee hee! Thank you for all your help and encouragement! You know, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to do a darn thing amiga! Love ya! :)
A work of art, love the colors.
Thank you! Typically, the decorations are not eaten. Rather, they are kept as momentos. This client of mine kept every single little figurine and now she's got them up in little display cases. :0)
Ha! Yes, believe it or not, there's people like that... Se la vie! My favorite were the little tools too! The eyes just melted my heart and they suddenly came to life! I was so sad when I said goodbye to them.... :( Thank you for your kind words! :)
I made the figures by mainly sculpting them by hand. There are small tools you can use that help make small holes and dents and stuff like that. I've never taken any classes but got several tips from cake buddies here on RUclips.
Wow! this is an absolutely amazing cake!!! You really do make the fondant look flawless...
This cake is amazing. My kids would adore it!!! I love how you did the Mikeymouse clubhouse! :) Handy Many & his crew, fantastic!! :) Excellent job :)
WOW!!! Laura this cakes is nice, thank you so much for giving us all the details this helps a lot.
te quedo muuuuy bonito Felicidades
Thank you! I've never watched anyone slice into any of my cakes. LOL! I don't think I could stand it! LOL! Yes, I have done wedding cakes. I actually have another one coming up here pretty soon! :) But, yes, it is much more common for people to order birthday cakes from me than wedding cakes. :)
Hi there Laura....I just want to say that your cake is awesome! YOU ROCKED IT GIRL!
Hi! Thank you so much! The pearl color is a powder called luster dust. You can buyit at any cake supply place place. The shade is pear. Glad you liked it! :0)
wow!! Amazing work. My daughter watched your video twice, I think she wants it for her birthday!!!
Hi Tessy! Thank you for the kind words! The figurines were not easy to make but not extremely difficult. It just takes a lot of patience and attention to detail. Don't worry I haven't mastered it either! These were some of the first I had ever done! Hopefully with time, we'll all improve our skills eh? Thanks for the comment! :)
Hi Manda! Thanks! Glad you liked it! ;) To get the skin color, I took white fondant, added just a TINY little bit of pastel pink, and just a tiny bit of mustard or deep yellow color... :)
Thank you Carly! You're so sweet! :)
Wow! What a compliment! Thank you so much! :)
Thanks! Glad you liked it! :) Wow! A Louis Vuitton bag cake! That rocks! :0)
Wow, fantastic, all those little people are cool, you are so good, your inspiring me for sure.
wow!!!!!! great work you are simply talented, creative and great!!!!! simply lovely!
Hi, The gumpaste is very easy to make. All you need to do is buy yourself a 5 lb. box of Wilton fondant. You can get it at at any craft store. It comes with two packages of fondant. Take one of the packages and slice it into 4 even parts. You take 1/2 tsp. of tylose powder (which you can also purchase there or at a cake supply place) and knead it into one of the 4 pieces. Do that with the other 3. Wrap each piece in plastic wrap and store in a ziploc till you're ready to use it.
I live in El Paso, Texas. :) I am SO HAPPY you liked it! :0)
Thanks! Yes, definitely a labor of love! :) My wrist is still sore! Thank you for watching! ;)
Thank you so much! Luckily we were in Spring Break so I had the time... If it weren't duing a school break I would've just spent an hour or so every day for several weeks making the figurines..Thanks for the compliment! :)
THANK YOU SO MUCH! How awesome! All the way in Denmark! I'm so happy to meet you! If you have any questions about anything let me know ok? I'm here to help! :) I can't wait to see your Sponge Bob! Please put up a video so we can all see it! ;) Nice to meet you girlfriend! :) God bless you! :)
ohh dear, u did very nice job,i loved it,and my 4 yr old loved it too,he was telling all the names of the dolls, he loves all of them.....keep it up dear...god bless u....
Thank you so much! If you're asking about the cake tiers, they are really held together by the wooden dowel that is going down through the entire cake. If you are asking about the pieces that make up the figurines, they are held together by edible glue. :0)

Thanks for the info! :)
This cake is AMAZING!
Thank you SO MUCH! I'm so happy you liked it! ;0) Your cake will turn out awesome but don't think you'll need a year! LOL! Thank you again! :0)
Figurines can be made even MONTHS in advance! That's what's so great about gumpaste! I have some teddy bears I made about 7 months ago and I'm still waiting to use them! :)
OMG u did a great job, the cake is FANTASTIC, i love it.......
Haha! Thank you! It's so strange that you mention penguins because I'm actually doing a birthday cake this next weekend and it's a penguin theme! Now THAT is ironic! Glad you liked this cake! ;0)
Haha! That's funny because I use candy sticks too! :)
It was gumpaste. Tylose mixed with fondant. Just striped it and then painted it. Let it sit for a couple of days so that it was totally dry and stiff so that it could stand up after a while. :)
Gracias a ti por tomar el tiempo para ver el video! :) I'm happy you liked it!
Thank you so much! I can just imagine what the cakes for my kids will look like! LOL! Can't wait! :) This cake was a long time ago but I think it was at least $10 per slice... If I remember correctly... :)
Thank you so much! I appreciate that! Thanks for watching! :0)
WOW, I LOVE YOUR WORK!!
Thanks! I use gel food coloring and knead it into the fondant to color it. Lately I'be beeen airbrushing cakes a lot. :)
Wow you're cake looks lovely! I've put about 20+ hours in clown cake once... I know the work. I think you're turned tou lovely, and I love how the mickey-mouse heads on the 3 teirs go with the themes! like the white cloud ones, love it!
Yes. You add icing to make it smooth, not to hold the ricke krispies together. Then the layer of fondant should be a tad thick to avoid seeing any bumps. :)
Thank you so much Iva! Well, believe it or not, DVD's are definitely in the works for the future! The first DVD will be an instructional video on safari animals! Stay posted and I'll let everyone here on RUclips know when it comes out! :)
I´m 16 years old, and i love that cake:D AMAZING!!!
Hi! Thank you! These pans were 10", 8", and 6". My tiers always have 3 layers as well. It won't topple over if you have support on the inside of the tiers and don't forget to dowel the entire cake for extra support. I had to purposely not center the tiers so there would be room for my figurines. :) Glad you liked it! :)
You are very kind and I appreciate your words! Thank you! :0)
That is an awesome cake! Fantastic work!
Yes it was! LOL! Glad you liked it and thank you! :)
So glad you liked it! Thank you! :)
Thank you! For something like this (mainly because of the figurines), you are looking at hundreds... It really depends on the pricing in your area. :)
Thank you! :) I usually color my fondant. For this particular cake I used the precolored Red fondant from Satin Ice. I've tried the Red Red from Wilton and I don't like it either. Even if dump the entire bottle, you still don't get a true RED. The Red that I have fallen in love with is a brand called AmeriColor. That is the truest red I have ever found! You should try it out! I'm sure you'll like it. :)
