Just thought I would mention a little tip. Everyone has been asking about the straw getting clogged after use. When I'm done I just take the straw off the can, then I take a long pipe cleaner Big bag of them at Walmart for cheap), and put in the straw, twisting as I push it through. The straw is clean as a whistle when done. Make sure to do this while the foam is still wet. Hope this helps.😉
My question is how do you keep the foam from rushing out after you use on each cupcake? It keeps spewing out and I have to put a latex glove over it and wrap it but it's kind of difficult
You are absolutely awesome!!! I have been looking all day everywhere how to make faux cupcake to show off my crafted cupcake stand. After 12 hours of looking, I gave up and went to work around the house, as I sat down to rest your channel pop up. I looked at about over 50 videos. None of them makes sense like yours. Your Tutorial helped me greatly! I went ahead and subscribe. I hit thumbs up. I also watch the commercial without skipping, as a token of gratitude for this tutorial. I’m looking forward to see more of your blog. Thank you, thank you, thank you so much!
I like that we can see you instead of just your hands.....how very different of you. Lol these are very adorable and make it fun for a cute kitchen...i however have a galley style and its cluttered now so maybe as gift . Thanks
A magnet in the bottom, instead of paper clips, will allow you to put them on the fridge. Also, for display purposes on windy days, they would stay put on a display board with magnets or a strip of metal counter sunk in it.
I just wanted to mention once you put the "frosting"on, set the cupcake aside until the next day.It takes awhile for it to dry especially the middle!They dry hard!I've dropped all kinds and they never even chipped!
takehomeahottie I also have a public Facebook page The Pink Tree where I post pictures of my crafts and decorating ideas and things I'm working on for my next videos:)
hello good afternoon, I loved your video, but I do not really understand anything in English. Can you please write the name of the material you use here and dial me, please? I would like very much to do, but I could not identify the material used, because I do not remember having seen here in Brazil. Thank you in advance and congratulations for the work.
Can we use this to make faux gingerbread houses? I’m thinking of making a felt one for my daughter to decorate. But wanted to add white frosting that would stay on. Thoughts?
Genius...pure genius. I saw resin cupcakes on one of the shopping channels about 2 weeks ago and they were almost 30.00 for 3! These are so dang CUUUUTE. Just sub'd so I can see what other remarkable things you have.
I saw this video i think in the middle of the pandemic when i was in middle school and was completely obsessed with it. It is so relaxing hearing the process and the spackling crinkling while you pipe
These are so beautiful, and thank you for sharing your work. I couldn't help but see all your pretties in the back of you, on your china cabinet. you you consider touring us through your home as to the way you decorate with them. I know I would love to see, how you decorate with them, and I am sure others would also. Thank you.

I love your work the cakes and cupcakes and ice cream cones look so real....where do you get your decorating bags....mine are splitting....any suggestions...thanks for sharing.
I just made some cake pops following ur tut,, they turned out amazing,,, ur the best teacher,, on this cupcake what size or name is the tip u use? ,,, tfs
Does the spray foam top ever get clogged. Do you need to do anything special to it after use? Do these cakes ever crack? You do a great job on your desserts. Thanks Dawn!
Linda Kelly Yes the spray foam does clog ! That’s why I do a huge batch and you it all the once ! No I haven’t had any of my cupcakes crack:) Thanks !!
I read a tip that said leave the straw on and within 2 hours of using, put a pipe cleaner wet with wd40 or goo gone all the way inside the straw and leave it there until next use. A few others said take straw off and rinse nozzle with goo gone. I tried the first since I couldn't unscrew the straw for some reason. I'm hoping it works.
do you store your left over frosting in the piping bag or put it in a container? I know that is a dumb question but if you store it in the bag it's ready to go. thanks.
I find them quite tough!None of mine have broken when I've dropped them!Sometimes embellistments can fall off but you can glue them back on with white glue.
Hello I'm italian , your creations are very beautiful. What is the spray for cupcake? and what is the paste in the white box? I don't understand because in Italy don't find. thank you
The spray is a spray foam insulator and the fake frosting part is a lightweight spackle which is a crack filler!All found in home building supply stores!
I've been trying too find out what they use on making bakery shoes and i think spackling mix with acrylic paint is great way too start! Shoe bakery sells some cherry pie wedges for 500! I wana make my version so ima try ur method! Thank you!
Your cupcakes look yummy! Can you put the website that you purchased your cherries and strawberries from please. There are so many options to choose from and I especially like your choice. Thank you for the tips. I missed what was in the first can that you used to make the actual cupcake. Could you please tell what it was. Keep up the good work. I’m hooked on your channel!
for we ladies who are not crafty ... but want to be... can you demonstrate how to put the tip on the piping bag? and what size bags do you use? are they disposible? or do you wash them out ?
Hi Pink Tree, I made cupcakes with foam.. boy I won't get that stuff on my hands again. Lol... Could you do cream puffs? When you cut that foam it's a very cake like look inside.
Woww youre so talented! Those cupcakes look gorgeous 😍 i was wondering, what do you do with the lightweight spackle in the bags? Can you leave it there and close them well? Or will the dry ?
HI. I'm new to your videos, just found them & am marathon watching them now. Love them. I have questions to start out (some I found answers to below already or added questions onto others posts). I'm looking to do fake foods for costume props & placing onto costume pieces so I need things that hold up being transported, worn on costumes, handled a lot, maybe bumped etc... 1. How brittle & fragile are they? Someone used some expanding foam stuff here around our house & some underneath a hot tub's wooden encasement /walling outside (here in NW Oregon, USA where it rains most of the year & temps range from 20F - 90F) ~ it seems like it is flaking & breaking off (smaller pieces). Trying to see if they'll hold up for costuming & if can wear for both indoors & outdoor events. 2. Can you do/ have you done update videos on your creations so we can see how they have held up over time & any new advice/tips/things you've learned? 3. Can you include the list of supplies in the description box? I found them by reading comments but that is time consuming & noticing many others asking for them also. I'll have more questions I'm sure. ;) Thank you!
MelaniePortland Hi! So glad you found me:)My cupcakes have stayed in great shape ,they have been dropped and have not broken at all !At times a candy may fall off but I just glue it back on.Just don’t let them get wet and you should be fine !Below each video I write down all the supplies you need.Maybe you can only see it on a lap top .Happy crafting !💜
Hello I was wondering what piping bag brand do you use and where do you buy them usually ? Love your work going to try my first one this week hope it looks as good as yours
Hello, Those cupcakes are beautiful ! I want to make fake cupcake to glue on a corset (only the icing part, to make a costume. I afraid that it would be to heavy, do you think it will works ? Thank you
I'm not sure if you'll see this but I have a question. I noticed that you have a lot of "icing" colors. How do you keep them from drying out? Or so you use all of it at one time? Thanks
annajbananas I keep them in sealed containers! They last a long time,at times I have to add a little water to the mixture .I also wipe the edges of the container with a damp paper towel to keep the hardened frosting from falling into the frosting :)
It is so much fun to watch you make your faux cakes and creations. They look so real. I was wonder if you could tell me the name of the fluffy product used for the cake part.

@@thepinktree3490 I forgot to ask you earlier, but it will you be making anything for the holiday season? If so, can't wait to see what you do. I've subscribed to your channel. You are amazing and talented!!
How did you get the speckle to come up of the bag so easily when you squeezed it? I did this last night for the first time and it was very hard to come through the little holes even though I stirred it and added just a bit of water 🙄
Just subscribed to your channel so glad I found you tonight even though this is a 2 yr old video going to look at all of your videos Great job God Bless
A couple of questions: what tip do you use… mine looks different on the icing? Do you use anything as a final varnish/glaze overall after done? Where is the best place to put eyehook by cherry? Love your videos
Bonjour Je suis Française 👋 pouvez vous m'indiquer quel produit vous utilisez pour la creme chantilly !!! J'aime beaucoup vos tuto et je me suis abonnée, bon week-end ensoleillé 🌞
New subscriber, I love your channel! 👏👏👏👏 I found your channel, because I came across the channel of the Curly Crafter she is adorable and very sweet, and to see she's giving you credit for all that she has learned, I just had to subscribe to her channel to support her, she's very talented, and to yours because you are an inspiration to follow and incredibly creative! 🙏
Hello! Might I ask one question. I’m finding my spackling is way creamier. It’s great for frosting but when it goes through a piping bag it’s too thin. I added flour and it’s perfect. Sorry if this is a dumb question but would adding flour ever make it go moldy over time or would it be safe?
I personally have never had mold in my spackle but I know some people have!I’m not sure why!Always make sure after you make an item to let it dry really well in the sun or on a window sill .That’s what I do!
your faux cupcakes are beautiful!!! and thank you for showing ways to weight the liner and some other great tips and tricks to successfully creating these :D as I too have had failings!!! But, with your tutorial I should now be A.O.K. :D thanks so much for sharing this!!!
@@littlefifths7760 if you don't weight them in some way they are sooooo lightweight they will just topple over and roll around LOL trust me ... I know!!! :D
Hi! I love your idea, and I've tried it today, but...my fake frosting slumps and doesn't hold shape very well, even with a very generous addition of flour that makes it pretty difficult to pipe :( any tips, please?
@@thepinktree3490 same tip, also 1M :( it's kinda hard to get the ratio right, maybe I just need spackle that's less runny in and of itself, thanks for the tip 💜
?...so I finally made the foam cupcakes. They are nice and huge...ugh...can i still put the frosting on them even if foam totally fills cup? Thank you!!
Yes usually people make them too big the first time !But yes you can frost them at any size ,you can also trim off some of the foam with a scissor or knife!
@@thepinktree3490 thank you so much sweetie. I'm disabled and live on a very tight budget. My husband fell off a ladder a little over a year ago and landed flat on his back so he's not been able to work much because he can't stand still very long. {being self employed, he has no health insurance so he's not been able to go to the Dr soooo, we need to do SOMETHING to try and bring in a little income. He's very creative like I am so this is something we can do together, HOPEFULLY! {first we have to save up the $$$ to get the supplies we don't already have}. Thank you so much for getting back to me! You are truly amazing! 😘
Hi. I LOVE THESE! But for time saving sake... can we subtitute the cupcake for a foam ball (obviously painting it into a preferred color) and just frost?
I found your channel a month back. I teach crafts to retired people. We’ll be making these at the end of the month. The only difference is I made my cupcake with a firm pop Pom. Today, I had fun frosting it with the lightweight spackle. Towards the end of the day, I was checking it and bumped it a little bit. The drying spackle came right off. Do you have any suggestions on how to keep it on the Pom Pom (cupcake)? Should I hot glue it a day or so later? Or do you think I should put caulking on prior to spackling with the piping tip? LOL I’m trying to figure out a way they won’t fall off because I would have to go to each location that I teach a day later. Thanks so much for sharing these incredible fun faux treats!
I’m so excited to tell you I just finished teaching these cupcakes to my 4 retirement classes. They came out so beautiful. Not as fancy as yours, but the elderly were so happy!!! My first set of frosting dripped a lot, so we added the flour. It got a little lumpy, but it still looked great - like a glaze. I realized it was 99degrees that day and the spackle had been in my car. So I put a large container of spackle in my fridge for the other classes and it kept it at the perfect temperature and no flour was needed for the rest of the classes. I wasn’t to thank you for sharing your talent. I wish I could show you the pictures of each one. I ended up using a cherry size styrofoam ball for the cherry. Put it on a skewer and everyone put glue on the styrofoam ball and then dipped it in ruby red glitter. Reminded me of Dorothy’s shoes from the Wizard of Oz. I bought miniature pinwheels as a cute item to put in the spackle/frosting. Everyone had huge smiles when they were done. Thanks again!
oh I love these I want to make a small cake for my kitchen where do you buy your spackle and other supplies. I know you said you get your fruits from eBay.
Not sure if this was asked but… when you glue the cupcakes to the square piece how do you remove it without tearing the bottom.. Like if I was selling this I would not want the bottom to be messed up.. or do I just come up with another method..?
You are so lovely & sweet & it was such a pleasure watching your tutorial! I’m making a play bakery for my little ones & I can’t wait to make these & see their faces! Thank you for sharing, you’ve brightened my day & will be sharing your videos with my friends xxx
I need some help! So I have been trying these out with lightweight spackle, and it seems when I pipe it just kinda sputters out even with consistent pressure. Is there anything I should mix with the spackle? It seems too airy to pipe correctly, I'm using red devil
Hi! Im in love with these 🤩 i was wondering if there's anything i can substitute the spackling for...i tried hair conditioner+corn starch and it worked at first but it gets annoying cracks after a while! Thanks!!!!
Love, Love, Love these. Was wondering if you had a knowledge as to how to make gnome food? Thanks so much for sharing, and God Bless! P.S. I shared this with my daughter in Florida, and maybe she might try this as well. Thanks again...

Wouldn't that make them stick the wrong way? And they are too heavy.

GodIsLove Thank you ! Happy crafting!❤️
A couple of questions: what tip do you use… mine looks different on the icing? Do you use anything as a final varnish/glaze overall after done? Where is the best place to put eyehook by cherry? Love your videos
I usually use 1M!I never seal my spackle and I would put the eye hook behind the cherry!🤗Thank you!
@@thepinktree3490 thank you! You’re the best
These are so cute!! 🤩 I'll have to give them a try. Thank you for sharing!!😊
what color do you paint on the Great Stuff for the vanilla cupcakes? Thank you :)
I usually mix a little bright yellow with white,sometimes add a little antique white.
@@thepinktree3490 thank you :) I"m assuming you eyeball it so i'll do the same :)

New subscriber, I love your channel!
👏👏👏👏
I found your channel, because I came across the channel of the Curly Crafter she is adorable and very sweet, and to see she's giving you credit for all that she has learned, I just had to subscribe to her channel to support her, she's very talented, and to yours because you are an inspiration to follow and incredibly creative! 🙏
Yes she’s very sweet and talented!!Thanks for subscribing 🤗💜💜
Hi! Do you think if I mod podge the spackle it would waterproof it? It’s because I want to make these for outdoor decorations. Thanks.
Sorry but no LOL
Oh man. 😊 thanks
These are so adorable. What do you do with all of cupcakes that you make?
Tamara Jenkins I display them in my kitchen or give them as gifts :)I’ve made some for my son’s Christmas trees!❤️
Well they are adorable
Tamara Jenkins Thanks!
Hello! Might I ask one question. I’m finding my spackling is way creamier. It’s great for frosting but when it goes through a piping bag it’s too thin. I added flour and it’s perfect. Sorry if this is a dumb question but would adding flour ever make it go moldy over time or would it be safe?
I personally have never had mold in my spackle but I know some people have!I’m not sure why!Always make sure after you make an item to let it dry really well in the sun or on a window sill .That’s what I do!
after you've used the icing tips......do you have to discard because of the plaster that was in them (and probably hardened if it sat too long?
kathi shreeve No because I never leave my tips long enough to harden!I keep reusing them:)
If I wanted to make these as ornaments would I still need to use the cardstock and paper clips in the bottom??
Definitely the card stock but not the paper clips!
Can you use foam clay or some sort of clay for the 'buttercream'?
I have been going insane trying to make fake food for s photoshoot you are a blessing!!! Thank you!!! Awesome video
Iced Venom Thank you so much!!❤️❤️
What do you use for the icing on your various shakes, cup cake?
Blair Boyce Lightweight sparkle.It’s a light weight crack filler .
your faux cupcakes are beautiful!!! and thank you for showing ways to weight the liner and some other great tips and tricks to successfully creating these :D as I too have had failings!!! But, with your tutorial I should now be A.O.K. :D thanks so much for sharing this!!!
Marilyn Ray Knopic Thank you so much !!❤️
Can you tell me what's the point of the weight? Like why it's needed?
@@littlefifths7760 if you don't weight them in some way they are sooooo lightweight they will just topple over and roll around LOL trust me ... I know!!! :D
@@MarilynRayKnopic Oh wow! 🤣🤣 Thanks for replying!
@@littlefifths7760 you're so welcome!!! have fun!! :D
Hey, I really like your content. I came back to watch your older videos. Thank you for being crafty.🩷
@@A.native.North.American Thank you so much!!🥰❤️❤️
How thin do you make the “frosting”? Mine keeps blowing Thru the piping bag and won’t come out the tip of the bag.
You have to add more water or craft paint !
Once it is hard can you wet it or will it fall apart and if it does fall apart is there a sealer you can put on it
Vicky Gomez Nope it shouldn’t fall apart and I never seal mine !
Do you use your spackling and the paint together and is there measurements?
Yes and no measurements!
Hi! I love your idea, and I've tried it today, but...my fake frosting slumps and doesn't hold shape very well, even with a very generous addition of flour that makes it pretty difficult to pipe :( any tips, please?
Maybe too much flour and the tip is too small?I usually use 1M!
@@thepinktree3490 same tip, also 1M :( it's kinda hard to get the ratio right, maybe I just need spackle that's less runny in and of itself, thanks for the tip 💜
question please.... does it have to be lightweight spackle or can it be regular dry wall compound?
laura drust I think it has to be lightweight!
?...so I finally made the foam cupcakes. They are nice and huge...ugh...can i still put the frosting on them even if foam totally fills cup? Thank you!!
Yes usually people make them too big the first time !But yes you can frost them at any size ,you can also trim off some of the foam with a scissor or knife!
@@thepinktree3490 thank you!!❤
What frosting tips is best ? I’m not familiar with tips.
For that I used Wilton 1M !
How do you keep your Great Stuff Window & Door insulating form sprayer cleaned so you can use again.
Jill Garza I actually use it all the once for that reason ! I make a big batch of cupcake bases at the same time !
Can I spray the foam in a cupcake liner in a pan that I use to bake with or should I buy on specially for this?
Don't use a pan you bake with!
Can you tell me the colors I use to make a yellow cake? Thank you!
You can use any shade you wish!Sometimes I use Lemon yellow ,daffodil or white mixed with a tiny amount of bright yellow!
Are the cherries the foam ones or all plastic ones. I saw both.
Dee A They look smooth and shiny but they are made of foam!
If you have "frosting" left over, is there a way to save it and reuse it without it getting hard?
Lisa matthews Absolutely! Store it in a air tight container ! If it’s stored a long time you may need to add a little water to the mixture!
@@thepinktree3490 thank you so much sweetie. I'm disabled and live on a very tight budget. My husband fell off a ladder a little over a year ago and landed flat on his back so he's not been able to work much because he can't stand still very long. {being self employed, he has no health insurance so he's not been able to go to the Dr soooo, we need to do SOMETHING to try and bring in a little income. He's very creative like I am so this is something we can do together, HOPEFULLY! {first we have to save up the $$$ to get the supplies we don't already have}. Thank you so much for getting back to me! You are truly amazing! 😘
Lisa matthews Oh so sorry to hear about your husband! Have fun making crafty goodies!❤️❤️❤️
I love this idea! Thank you, now I am just going to go crazy with one more way to decorate. So pretty.
Have fun!💜💜💜
Thanks for sharing! You make it look so easy though..
Thanks !
If spackling isnt as smooth, could you add water to make the pipping a bit easier, because im kind of struggling with it
Yes!
Hi. I LOVE THESE! But for time saving sake... can we subtitute the cupcake for a foam ball (obviously painting it into a preferred color) and just frost?
Ana G. Sure you can use whatever you wish!
I found your channel a month back. I teach crafts to retired people. We’ll be making these at the end of the month. The only difference is I made my cupcake with a firm pop Pom. Today, I had fun frosting it with the lightweight spackle. Towards the end of the day, I was checking it and bumped it a little bit. The drying spackle came right off. Do you have any suggestions on how to keep it on the Pom Pom (cupcake)? Should I hot glue it a day or so later? Or do you think I should put caulking on prior to spackling with the piping tip? LOL I’m trying to figure out a way they won’t fall off because I would have to go to each location that I teach a day later. Thanks so much for sharing these incredible fun faux treats!
destresswithyoga Glad you found me:)I would just add school glue and let it dry for a day or two!That should work!Sounds like you’re having fun!❤️
I’m so excited to tell you I just finished teaching these cupcakes to my 4 retirement classes. They came out so beautiful. Not as fancy as yours, but the elderly were so happy!!! My first set of frosting dripped a lot, so we added the flour. It got a little lumpy, but it still looked great - like a glaze. I realized it was 99degrees that day and the spackle had been in my car. So I put a large container of spackle in my fridge for the other classes and it kept it at the perfect temperature and no flour was needed for the rest of the classes. I wasn’t to thank you for sharing your talent. I wish I could show you the pictures of each one. I ended up using a cherry size styrofoam ball for the cherry. Put it on a skewer and everyone put glue on the styrofoam ball and then dipped it in ruby red glitter. Reminded me of Dorothy’s shoes from the Wizard of Oz. I bought miniature pinwheels as a cute item to put in the spackle/frosting. Everyone had huge smiles when they were done. Thanks again!
destresswithyoga Oh how nice and wonderful!!So glad everyone had fun!😘❤️
Your work is amazing, thank you for sharing with us. I was wondering do you use Wilson tips? And what sizes do you use?
Tayah Harris Thank you!Yes I use Wilson tips!I use all kinds of sizes,for the cupcakes I use the biggest ones 1M:)
ThePinkTree you're so kind ;)
oh I love these I want to make a small cake for my kitchen where do you buy your spackle and other supplies. I know you said you get your fruits from eBay.
Marsheila Weatherford You get the spackle and styrofoam from any hardware store !
Not sure if this was asked but… when you glue the cupcakes to the square piece how do you remove it without tearing the bottom.. Like if I was selling this I would not want the bottom to be messed up.. or do I just come up with another method..?
I only use a piece of tape and it usually just comes off without damaging the paper!
Where do you buy the spackle? I can't find it on-line!
Debra Koetitz Oh any hardware store ! In the US it’s another name brand ! It’s a lightweight crack filler !
In the US it’s called “Gaps & Cracks”. You can buy it in the plumbing department in places like Walmart, Home Depot, Lowe’s.
You are so lovely & sweet & it was such a pleasure watching your tutorial! I’m making a play bakery for my little ones & I can’t wait to make these & see their faces! Thank you for sharing, you’ve brightened my day & will be sharing your videos with my friends xxx
Dana Stenson Oh wonderful! Thank you so much !❤️❤️❤️
I need some help! So I have been trying these out with lightweight spackle, and it seems when I pipe it just kinda sputters out even with consistent pressure. Is there anything I should mix with the spackle? It seems too airy to pipe correctly, I'm using red devil
Maybe when you put it in the bag you are trapping too much air?If it’s too watery you can add flour,corn starch or baby powder.
How do you get the spray foam to be so round in the cupcake liner, and to fill the whole cupcake liner?
What site on ebay for the cherries please, the garland in the back with the heart box do you have a video on making it?
Jandle in the city If you search fake cherries all kinds should come up! I do plan to make a video on the heart swag !Thanks!
Hi! Im in love with these 🤩 i was wondering if there's anything i can substitute the spackling for...i tried hair conditioner+corn starch and it worked at first but it gets annoying cracks after a while! Thanks!!!!
Hi!You can use caulking as frosting but it just won't be as fluffy as the spackle!
@@thepinktree3490 thank you! 😊
I'll be decorating my kitchen thanks to you. I love this. This is the easiest way ever!❤❤❤
Thelisha Thomas Awesome ! Have fun !❤️
YES, I agreee. I was looking at my table while I was watching.:)
Love, Love, Love these. Was wondering if you had a knowledge as to how to make gnome food? Thanks so much for sharing, and God Bless! P.S. I shared this with my daughter in Florida, and maybe she might try this as well. Thanks again...
ELIZABETH VISCUSI Thank you!I’ve never made gnome food though!
Very cool and realistic looking. Wonder how much these could sell for on Etsy?
Melancholy43952 Thank you ! People do sell them on Etsy for a variety of prices ! The fake cakes are quite pricey!
Is it possible to use regular spackle? Dont have light weight: (
LaNena I’m pretty sure it needs to be lightweight !
Do you need to add glue to keep the cherry or carrot, etc on the cupcake?
Scrappers Breakroom Nope! Not unless it falls off later on !:)
If they fall off I do put them back on with glue!
Wondering where you got the straw sprayer on the can, or did the can come with it?
Denise Hanrahan Oh it came with it !:)
@@thepinktree3490 Thanks so much for the help!
Denise Hanrahan No problem!
You're the cutest ever - I really enjoyed watching and look forward to making these! Thanks for sharing !!!
Clarissa Alva Thank you !🥰❤️
