As someone from the US, I am so happy that I have found someone who is so much more 'real' about the struggles of baking with kids around. I also like that you don't use those kids to get more views. So, all in all, thank you for being you.

Love you’re using only buttercream!
Also, love your tip about using the number 3 tip for the lines because I’ve been struggling deciding which size to use for writing and I’ve got shaky hands!

Thank you for showing us how to decorate a cartoon cake. You are so creative. I certainly will try to make one. 👍❤️

Emily, my kids and grands came for the holidays. Ava (10) and Sienna (7) love to decorate cakes with me. We did the cookie dough cake. (What do kids who keep hearing, "You can't eat the cookie dough" want more than anything?) It was off the charts, every part a symphony of flavor and texture. But peeps always mess with your carefully crafted recipes, don't they? I did a bottom border of mini-chips. I don't know how you do it with three little ones. But it's great you've created a career that lets you stay home. And the quality of your work is terrific in spite of what the home front requires.

So Amazing. I've seen the fondant versions & always hoped someone would do all buttercream. You're the best💕🍰

Emily, that's an absolute showstopper!! I totally love how 3d it looks, certainly takes time but the result is stunning! I love that you can use buttercream, as I don't really care for fondant. Thanks for showing us how to accomplish this look!! 😊❤️🙏🏽🇨🇦

The broken black lines really do add to the comic illustration look. Beautiful job! 🌟

Wow... I'm going to have to try this eventually. It's crazy how much the lines make a difference.
Thanks for sharing.

[annelieberman]

So creative. Don't know how you come up with great ideas every week!

0:13 The cake came out great. I had no idea a cartoon cake could be made. Thank you great job!

[katiedrink]

love this! I'm not a big fondant fan, especially not covering an entire cake, so I've always felt a bit left out of the comic book cakes but this is awesome!!

[opmad]

Perfect for people like me who *hate* fondant! Thanks a ton!

[MysticRose]

Love this idea!!! You are always so calm & relaxed - would never say you had 3 little people 💕🌸
