    Thank you for not using fondant! I can't tell you how disappointing it is to see the thumbnail of a beautiful cake, click on it, and then find out that half of it was sculpted out of something that tastes like wax lips. Excellent recipe. I'm definitely going to try this.

      I've only ever used it myself once, and that was whatever brand is sold in the cake decoration section of the Michael's craft store chain. I've eaten multiple professionally decorated cakes that were covered in fondant, including a very fancy wedding cake that looked like a peacock, and their fondant tasted the same (everyone at the table agreed that all of the fondant they had ever eaten tasted that way). What brands are tasty, so I can use them in the future? There are some things that just can't be made with modeling chocolate, which is my usual work-around.

    • @WifeDesignLife
      @WifeDesignLife 6 лет назад +95

      I agree. Fondant tastes horrible. Even in cooking school, we would peel off the fondant before eating the cake. Never had a fondant that I like (store bought or homemade). But, I am super picky about my frostings... I don't eat American buttercream, only SMBC, IMBC, FBC.

    Hi John, I love this recipe however I wasn’t going to buy a bunch of baby pumpkins to make the stems. So there are a couple of methods to make the stem that I found work really GREAT 👍. The first method is, I used a piece of a large pretzel stick dipped in dark chocolate. The second thing I did was to take an actual stem and make a mold of it out of food-safe molding compound. Then once the mold was ready I either used moldering chocolate, fondant, gum paste or melted chocolate in the mold to make the stem. I even had a friend of mine roll out Tootsie rolls into the shape of a stem for a less expensive and less technical way of making a stem. With any of these methods you can make everything on the cake completely eatable. I hope my suggestions help. Thanks for the wonderful video. Take care, Dee😊

    @marigeobrien 4 года назад +16

    I first saw this video in 2018 and jumped on doing these -- I LOVE them! They are a lot of work but they make excellent dessert gifts for friends at Halloween or at Thanksgiving.
    Just a few suggestions:
    1. Actually, if you turn OFF the mixer and add the confectioner's sugar with a spatula, you avoid the whole "poof" effect entirely. Once it's incorporated enough so it won't kick-back, turn the mixer back on and proceed to blend well. I learned this trick last year and I love it!
    2. I'm planning to make these again this year as Halloween gifts and have decided to do something a little different. I'm going to make them white pumpkins so I've decided to put cream cheese frosting all over, but thinly. Then I'll mold them until I like the shape. THEN -- this is the new part -- I plan to coat them with white chocolate ganache. That should give them a nice, finished look. And the white-chocolate ganache will add another layer of flavor.
    3. I freeze them before I add the frosting. I do this because it makes slicing the end and frosting so much easier. They'll stay fresh for up to 2 weeks in the freezer. In fact, that's a trick I learned from professional bakers.
    4. To make the stems, I take the extra cake that I trimmed away and mix it with a little left over frosting to make -- cake-pops! It is how you make cake-pops but it also works as a sculpt-able cake, too. Using that, you can sculpt very realistic edible stems. Mixing the cake and orange or white frosting gives them a very roughened look and darkens it a bit. Try it!

That pillow cake was the most beautiful cake I have ever seen - puffy creases and all. I find fondant has absolutely no endearing texture or flavor and wonder if it wasn't really meant to be eaten.

    I find his voice very relaxing! I don't really like cake and I can't imagine myself doing all this but I'd love to marry someone that does! I love to cook but baking is much more difficult and precise! Wow all that work but all that joy at the end too! Great video!

    I normally hate cupcakes and ‘cutesy’ food but these are beyond adorable, I love them. Can’t wait to try it. The way the chilled buttercream smooths down with wet fingers really looks like tough waxy pumpkin skin, fabulous. And because they’re fully encased you don’t get the dry outside you can so easily end up with when making cupcakes.

      Brilliant Bonny! Yes, you can make it huge and it would be so real looking! I would use the half (equator) part as the stopping point for a slice. Then once you have served the top portion, begin slicing the bottom half. You might really pack the center hole with filling, that way it will distribute the filling to more portions. Thanks for the one big cake idea!

I just don't feel right about buying something that I'm just will throw away not eat. I will only buy squash and pumpkins that my family and I will eat. I obtained some beautiful blue green ones from the Asian market. I also bought a beautiful Long Island cheese squash. I will also purchase some golden delicious hubbert squashes and Pumpkin pie pumpkins. So your little Mini pumpkin dessert idea will replace the mini pumpkin's I am no longer purchasing. Bravo!
