Thanks for sharing can’t wait to try this! How many “cupcakes” can you get from 1-can of the foam? Aprox.

@Hey_its_Dre 3 жыл бұрын

You can get a lot of cupcakes...probably 3 or 4 dozen. One bit of advice...do the fillings all at once. I tried re-using the foam and due to the foam expanding in the straw it landed up spraying everywhere. Some got in my hair and I had to cut it out...I am just thankful it didn’t get in my eyes. I know now not to try to save it to use for later.

Yes I do - just to help the expansion foam hold its “cupcake” shape. I really wish I would have mentioned that part. It is just a piece of cardstock - I would have used a circle punch but all I had on hand is a hexagon punch. You could also just free hand cut a circle piece of card stock. 👍

Hi , I love your cupcakes, I actually made some but weeks later they were all cracked , what can I do to prevent that please help my daughter is so sad.

@Hey_its_Dre 3 жыл бұрын

Maggie - thank you for watching my video and I am so sorry they cracked. Let’s see if we can figure out why. Did the top fake spackling crack or the foam on the bottom? If it is the fake frosting portion - do you live in a humid area? I was reading that humidity can cause the spackle to expand and then when it gets cold it contracts again and that may be causing the cracking. I live in dry NM, so maybe that is why I didn’t have this issue. I actually still have some fake cupcakes I made from 10 years ago that are still in good shape. If it is the fake frosting that cracked - I would pull the cracked frosting off and try again but maybe find a spot where there is little moisture and they can dry properly. I hope this helps and let me know if it works. 😀

@maggieanaya8005 3 жыл бұрын

Good morning, thank you so much for answering , it was the sparkling that cracked , It’s actually not humid , but I did put them in a cabinet next to the stove so I’m thinking that might of been it 😩

@Hey_its_Dre 3 жыл бұрын

It is the worst when the kids are upset too about their creations. I hope it works out if you store them some place different. I let mine dry in the garage. Also I use the brand Fast N Final lightweight spackle (it comes in a white tub with a red lid) that you can get from Walmart or Home Depot. Good luck and I hope they turn out. 🥰
