HI Shafaq, I didn't add anything for the bear to stand. I have on some of my other cake toppers, I usually add Gumtrag or CMC. It depends on how soft the fondant is, if it's quite soft I'll add something. Hope this helps :0)

Hi Laura, I don't have a tutorial for the tag. I printed a pic of the tag on A4 paper and cut out each section to use as templates. I placed each template on top of rolled fondant and cut them out and let dry for 10mins, I then stuck all pieces together to make the tag. Hope this helps :0)

Hi Jaclyn, I would suggest ganache for a strong chocolate flavour and it's absolutely delish. Ganache is a mix of chocolate and cream. When I make ganache I use 2.5:1 ratio of chocolate and double cream (heavy/whipping cream in US), e.g. 100g cream to 250g milk or dark chocolate. Microwave cream in a bowl or heat in a pan then when it starts to bubble remove from heat and pour over chocolate, leave for 5-10 mins then stir extremely well until all mixed together (if you have some choc pieces that wont melt just pop in microwave for 10 second bursts & stir well), leave a while to thicken, then use as you would buttercream/frosting. It will set a little firmer than buttercream which can be helpful when making 3D cakes. Hint & tip when making ganache crack chocolate into the smallest pieces you can so it melts easier, I often put mine in a blender or bash with a hammer in a zip lock bag. Hope this helps & happy baking :0)

Thanks so much! Could I also ask your recipe for the 6" chocolate cake? ;)

Hi K R, I did make the blue bags yes, they were made from modelling/gum paste. Thanks for watching :0)

Hi Buchi, if you have left the cake pop sticks long enough to go deep into the cake (I usually ensure they reach the bottom of the cake) it should be fine. You could put a little edible glue under Minnie's chin to stick it to the fondant which would make it a little more secure. The only other tip I would give is to ensure it is moved/transported carefully. Hope this helps & thank you for watching :0)

Thank you for the reply...I'm so positive it will come out well with all this steps

Thanks Deborah & have fun with your cake decorating, any questions please ask x

Hi Kaukab, you could do either. I usually use a little bit of royal icing to secure toppers to the cake & I let it set overnight. As this topper is not heavy you should be ok to transport on the cake if it has been secured well. It would also be ok to place topper once cake reaches its final destination providing the cake won't be moved around lots. Hope this helps & thanks for watching

Max's Cake Studio thank you for replying. Mine is 3 tire cake still you think will be ok to place elephant on cake before transporting?

Hi Kaukab, when I have a 3 tiered cake I take to venue in 2 parts. I would secure bottom & 1st tier together using royal icing left overnight to set, I would place this elephant topper on 3rd tier & leave to set overnight then transport in 2 sections & stack when I get to final destination. Some people are braver than me and transport fully stacked - it depends how brave you are. Hope this helps

Hi Refilwe, I used a little edible glue, thanks

Hi Refilwe, I used a small amount of sugar paste at the front & back of the lid secured with edible glue. You could use royal icing as well, thanks
