Hi, do you have any instructions on how to add the vest?

[@CakeNation]

Just cut some black fondant to the shape needed for the front and push on gently. And then do the same to the back x

[@abhishekrajak1511]

Good nice

[@CakeNation]

Thanks x

[@Dawn2Dusk23]

Do you have any guidelines on how many grams of fondant to use for each component?

[@CakeNation]

Hi, tbh I just kind of wing it lol. I estimate a lot and trim down to size when it’s too big so it’s difficult to measure. I believe he was made using around 185g of modelling paste x

[@SkBakarscakesandpastryShop]

Very nice

[@CakeNation]

Hi! Any chance you can provide some guidance on making legs for him?

[@CakeNation]

I have other videos which include legs I would just follow similar process to arms but make bigger and longer x

@@CakeNation ok thank you so much!

Hi what is the difference between saracino modelling paste and the Renshaw please?

[@CakeNation]

Renshaw I think only do Flower and modelling paste which dries very quickly in comparison to Saracino. Renshaw used to do a modelling paste but i think they stopped making it now x

[@janeclark6735]

@@CakeNation ah thank you. Im making a cake for a friend's son's 18th and although I can bake I'm not experienced in making things out of fondant !

[@CakeNation]

I would def recommend saracino then as it gives you plenty of tie to work with it. Good luck with the cake, if you get stuck give me a shout x

[@joanna7555]

What do you use to make is so smooth? 🤔

[@CakeNation]

Just my hands and soft tip tools x
