Hi there,
I just got the tutorial, I was hoping to get is asap, I didnt realize it would take 12 hrs… Would it be possible to have it sent earlier?
Thanks :)
February 20, 2014 at 9:40 pm
Hi Vera,
I need to make Thomas today. Anyway you could send it as soon as possible? IO have been trying to buy the tutorial for three days but my paypal account had a problem and the direct buy through credit card didn’t work!!
Please send it the earliest you can.
I would be very grateful.
Thanks
February 20, 2014 at 9:48 pm

November 12, 2013 at 11:12 am
Michelle, I just sent you the tutorial. Hope it will satisfy you. Thank you.
November 5, 2013 at 8:48 pm
Jacqueline, thank you for your interest. This tutorial is about how to create a Thomas the Tank Engine figurine that is to be placed on top of a cake. Here is an example: https://155.138.214.252/2011/11/07/thomas-the-tank-engine-cake/. In other words, the cake is not in the tutorial.
November 5, 2013 at 6:26 pm
Is this tutorial for just the Thomas face or does this include cake assembly?
August 13, 2013 at 4:53 pm
Hi Vera,
I just made the payment for the tutorial. Can you please send it asap? I’m planing to use Satin Ice. Can I use Satin Ice rolled fondant for this?
Thanks.
August 10, 2013 at 9:04 pm
I also would need the tutorial as soon as I could get it, will it be very quick?
August 10, 2013 at 9:02 pm
Hi, do I need to add the tylose to my wilton fondant to make this or can I just use the fondant as is?
July 7, 2013 at 11:01 am
I’m interested in purchasing your tutorial but I tend to worry about copyright infringement. By purchasing your tutorial do I also get copyright permission to use the Thomas the Tank Engine image?
July 7, 2013 at 9:06 pm
Alaskan, if you are planning to mass produce this, I would suggest to seek a legal advice on the matter according to laws of your country.
March 3, 2013 at 9:51 pm
Gail, it doesn’t matter where you live, I will send you the tutorial by email.
Yes, you can use ready-made modelling paste. That’s what I use most of the time.
You can make the topper well in advance (up to several weeks). Keep it in a cardboard box at room temperature, out of the daylight, to prevent color fading.
I never freeze cakes, unless I have to sculpt the cake, then I freeze it briefly.
March 3, 2013 at 4:23 am
Can I buy this tutorial in the uk? It looks very interesting. Can I use ready made modelling paste ? Instead of fondant & tylose ? how far in advance do you make the topper and rest of decorations. Do you freeze cake before using it ?
January 24, 2013 at 7:00 pm
hi vera- does your tutorial give the recipe for the fondant or flowerpaste or whatever paste you used to make the pieces of this cake with?
January 29, 2013 at 10:26 am
Sadia, I use store-bought gumpaste (Swiss Albert Uster’s) for making figures and flowers. It dries quickly, yet it gives you enough time to model a piece, and it dries hard. I believe,they ship worldwide. You can turn a store-bought fondant (home-made doesn’t work here, it stays somewhat soft) into a modeling paste by kneading in a little bit of tylose powder into the fondant. The exact quantity of the tylose depends on the brand of fondant since the texture varies between brands. For a example, Albert Uster’s fondant is too soft and doesn’t work at all. Wilton’s is too stiff and requires less tylose, a tiny bit too much and it will turn into a stiff and crack-prone paste. SatinIce is, probably, the best suited for turning it into a gum paste; I usually add 1/2 tsp tylose for 250g of fondant. In the end it all comes to a personal preference, you, probably, should try different brands of ready-made gum paste or fondant+tylose combos and see for yourself. Hope it helps.

Arilena, thank you for your interest. No, you can pay with any major credit card. Just click the “Buy now” button and follow the “Don’t have Paypal account” link. Hope this helps!
January 31, 2012 at 2:33 am
Dear vera,
In live in holland and I to purchase this tutorial.
Is paypal the only way to pay?
January 30, 2012 at 5:15 am
oh that looks way better than the ones I used to try and make, LOL. Great work!
January 30, 2012 at 2:22 am
OMG, I received mine this morning and as the narrator in Thomas would say: “I was delighted!”. As usual in Vera’s work, there’s perfectioninsm in every detail and careful explanations for a gorgeous result. I just wish mine will look like Vera’s… can’t wait to try (neither can my son!) Thank you once more Vera for sharing so much time and work. I totally recommend it to anyone looking to make professional cakes in your home, non-professional kitchen.
