The tool you see us using is a long straight blade. You can find the link to it in the description box underneath our video, or you can purchase at any craft store. You can use skewers if you want instead of toothpicks. I hope that helps and thanks for watching! :)
Thanks for your question. How long they take to dry is completely dependent on whether you used fondant or gumpaste (we only use gumpaste for our decorations) and especially what your work area is like. If you're allowing them to dry in a cool and dry environment (not warm and also free of humidity) then they will dry pretty quickly. Ours are usually rock hard in 2 days. If yours aren't drying then be sure to check your environment and be sure you're using gumpaste. If you used fondant, feel free to check out our tutorial on how we make gumpaste. It's super easy and quick. Hope that helps and thanks for watching! :)
Hello Laura :)) ! Your cactus are sooo cute!!! I would like to try it myself :D Thank you for sharing your tips! I have a (stupid?) question.. What are the ingrediens for making this very strong compacte pastry? :)
Hi Lo! Thank you so much! Glad you liked them. :) You're very welcome. It's our pleasure! Not a stupid question at all. Gumpaste is simply fondant with a powder named tylose mixed into it. It's a type of hardening agent. Check out our tutorial called "How To Make Gumpaste" and you'll see how easy it is. Your local cake supply should carry typos powder. We use "CAI" tylose (Confectionary Arts International). I hope that helps and thank you for watching! :)
@@krazykoolcakes Hi! Thank you for answering me so quickly! It helps a lot ! :D I will watch your tutorial! Thank you :)) Have a very nice evening !(here it's 10pm)
Thank you Daisy! You "could", but probably won't come out as good. Gumpaste is much sturdier than fondant and doesn't crack and wrinkle as easily. Gumpaste is simply fondant with tylose powder added to it. Feel free to check out our tutorial on how we make gumpaste.
Thanks for this tutorial! I’m making these tonight.

Hi! Gorgeous creations... Can I make these with fondant?

@@krazykoolcakes thank u for getting back to me
You're welcome Daisy! :)
Hey Laura, do you still use Wilton fondant to make your gumpaste? As always a great tutorial. ☺️
Hi Anny! Yes we sure do! Glad you enjoyed the tutorial. Thanks for watching! :)
I love these! I love your tutorials! Thank you so very much for your time! ~Jules in Rhode Island
Thank you so much Julie! That's very kind of you! We appreciate that! God bless you! :)
Is gumpaste the same as fondant?
Gumpaste is simply fondant with tylose added to it.
Spaghetti noodles also work in place of toothpicks...
They're actually not strong enough to hold up this kind of weight. :)
@@krazykoolcakes 🤔🤔Mine held up just fine...I believe I added edible glue to the ends too...for added support.
