[joim2010]

Wonderful ideas, especially for beginners

[ximpai]

so if u got ur dream your the one ho will make my wedding cake:D ahahaha good luck looking fo the shop u said someday

[attiecarrivick]

I thought it really funny you have asked people Not to copy your cakes im sure Karen Tack and Alan Richardson authors of " hello, cupcake" would love to see your sunflower cakes, They are exactly the same!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you can't even say you've put your own twist on them.

[rubia23100]

quem vai querer copiar esses bolos? Eles são horríveis...

[vianneylu1]

good luck! hopefully some of your plans are starting to take place for you, young lady!

[Cupcakequeen42]

Very good, but I'm confused by the part at the end about how you make everything as edible as possible. Because fondant is edible o.O

[ExceedingNormal]

It looks so good to. YUM! =)

[RedsLRC]

I am glad you said "Most" of your pieces came from you head because I own the Hello Cupcake book also and i saw at least three from there. Everything else was pretty good.

[9209Random]

amazing but some did look a bit messy but excellent presentation. :) but i have to break it to you that there is already a bakery called busy bee but i dont think its around any more :L sorry but great name ill have to come to new york to see your bakery wen i visit america :) (im from england!) anyway goood luck :) xxx ur amazing :)

[lstockdill]

i dont care if you copied or not! thats how people start to learn and i think you do great work!

[7077Yasmin]

Great job! I'm proud of you! You did an awesome job, and at such a young age, your so abitious! One day, I'll come all the way from Canada to come try one of your amazing treats! All the best on your journey to sucess!!!

[hellogoodbyemyluv]

I LIKE that you don't use fondant! I think it tastes gross. :/

You are very creative and on way! With a little culinary school, I definitely think you could make it!

Best of luck :)

[Teddilyn1956]

Thanks Megan. I can see where you continued to improve. Good Luck in your endeavors. I teach basic cake decorating to Girl Scouts in my area. You will be an inspiration to them.

i like the flower decorated cupcakes

[WalksThroughLife]

This is art!

[BoredQueen]

hi

[tamagotchigal44]

LOVE the lamb:)

[lillmisspretty]

omg your soooo talented i wish i could do that! what frosting bags/tips go you use??

[cheerflyer1016]

These are really good :) I can see how you improved over the years!

[fonethoke]

i have the same book you copied ur ideas from. Nice try. like the gator, nutcracker, sunflower, etc was all from the same book. i wouldnt comment but i read what you wrote and just thot y u would tell people not to copy ur ideas but clearly they weren't. about ur sloppy frosting, word of advice the frosting from a can is to runny try making ur own it hold much better. you could make it stiff or as soft as you like. keep up the good work, but remember the truth always come out.

[juicysparkle27]

great cakes and just fyi dont tell us not to copy 'your' ideas becuase while some of them are some of them arent. Its kind of unfair, but you do have some awesome ideas. Try looking at some other videos to work on neatness with frosting

[ladydemonyita]

Nice work... the Japanese inspired for your mom is good and the sheep too... work on making your decorations smooth or Im not sure if it was intended.

My favorite is the sun flowers and the croc. ^_^

[MrTemoeri]

omg i love that bunny XD! and the santa o.O wth a frikking crocodile XD! that awsome xD!

[16Orochimaru]

hahaha...u are very creative....i also do cake and i am just 17....i am gonna fallow the same step that u are taking .....

[doggiesarethebest]

I don't see any improvement. People who said you're good are lying to you so you won't feel bad.

[jenm6186]

@doggiesarethebest Why do you go out of your way to be mean like that!?

Megan, great job :)

[doggiesarethebest]

@jenm6186 im not being mean im telling the truth unlike you telling her she did a good job

[roxaneaddi]

You are mean. She has done a fantastic job. She is only 16 and she is doing work like that at her age. You should be ashamed of yourself. Sounds like you need to grow up!

[bettyboopbh1]

VERY NICE

[flippery8382]

What's that at 1:29?!

[Nausicca3000]

I can def see the improvement. Good Job!

[Babecakee]

AWESOMEE! i loved the sushi ones. .

[bbqramos]

you got some ides from the book hello cupcake !1 awesome

[Torey1709]

Fondant is edible. Good job. BTW that alligator cupcake design cam from the book "Hello Cupcake." Love it. Keep it up.

[Caribeanqueen79]

Awesome! I can see your progress throughout the whole video, you are talented, follow your dream baby!

[jiopkly0o0sakito]

hEy that was amazing of what u did, I hope u good luck In the future of what u love the most of creating these awesome cake

[TheBunniloverrocks]

where did you get these recipies

[John081590]

You're good! Good luck on reaching your dreams! I really like the sunflower cupcakes there and the alligator/crocodile cake made out of many cupcakes. Cool!

[swiked]

take no notice of the negative comments!

your doing a great job, practice makes perfect right?

i love baking, you are very creative and i love the flower cup cakes they are stunning

xx xx

[armadecia]

You have a lot to learn, but are doing excellent for 16. I started making cakes very young as well, but it wasn't until I got older that I started really working on presentation. The drop flowers on the cupcakes are adorable and while easy, you did an excellent job on them. Keep up the good work and don't rull out gum paste or fondant. I'd also stop using candy on cupcakes, they are not needed.

[FirdaousEjannah78]

Am so impatient for you to open your business.. you will be a great pastry CHEF and because you will be soo busy you your muscles will hurt this is why I suggest to get me free pastry and I will give you free massage.. is that bargain?Great job thank you very much for sharing your experience w/us.

[shimmyshimmycocopop2]

you have a loooooong way to go. i don't think i would purchase any of those. i started when i was about 12 but i was doing stuff like that when i was in the 3rd grade. maybe you should look at a few more cake decorating tutorials and make a home made frosting rather than a store bought one. a little tacky but ur on the right path.

[miltongurl78]

These are great. A couple remind me of ones I saw in "hello cupcake".

[ienjoyjello]

You shouldn't rule out fondant and gum paste. They can be great mediums to work in. And inedible supports like dowels are necessary if you want to make wedding cakes.

[funnybunn3]

keep trying, your not a pro yet.

[RoyalFraise]

I hope they taste better than they look.

you still have a lot to learn, but i do like the cupcakes on 2:29 and the other bakings till the end. LoVe

[nienkezw]

I think your improvement was buying a book called "Hello, Cupcake"

please go to bakery school before you think that you'll make it.. you have a lot to learn

[RavenLavender]

Baking & Pastry Production and Management will definately help you.

[daysioc]

Very pretty. Keep up the good work and follow your dream :)

[eveyyyy7]

good job keep it up you have the talent goodluck with your future cakes

[HamsterClawz]

wow your getting better and better

[Meganox]

thanks for all the comments, i really take them seriously :) I am trying to put another one together of my more recent stuff which thankfully is better than this one.

And for the people who say everything is from hello cupcake: 3 came from it, 1 only using the general base and doing my own thing.

I really appreciate everyone giving me advice and helping me. I youtube other peoples videos and do the same thing and now people are doing it to mine :) Hope to post the other one soon!

[peacelovegap17]

look we know a lot of those things came from hello cupcake.

[xdevilxbabex2003]

all ideas had to be based on some other idea from somewhere else. dont worry about copying, its a form of flattery. love the cakes, practise makes perfect though, keep at it and youll get your dream :)

[cakesnkids]

The only thing I would agree with Rosewink on is that you shouldn't worry about people copying your work. The pastry world has no copyright. I am more than happy to see people copy my work. I consider it a compliment. The best way to learn is to copy. From there, you can start experimenting and coming up with new ideas. Besides, the best way to become an authority on something is to share what you know.

Keep it up.

[cakesnkids]

I would like to say that Rosewink was really harsh! I am a nationally award winning cake decorator and possibly one of the best in the country. I saw your work, and for a 16 year old, I think you are doing great! Time and practice are what it takes. Keep working and you can go far. Don't let anyone get you down.

[theonlybebecandi]

i love to bake as well. i am a perfectionist when it comes to details in bakeing. i love to do it. its my passion! youre truely talented. just remember talent is earned not given and youre very talented.

[computergirl000]

I Love the Cabaret Night cupcakes!!!

[Alize101586]

The sheep is soooooooooo cute!

[TheBunniloverrocks]

why dint you give credit to the book you used to help you called hello cupcake! i have the book an half the cupcakes where fom that book

[lambikins]

GREAT JOB!! I really liked the Tom Turkey you did! However, if you didn't want anyone to "copy" your ideas, WHY put it on youtube???? I mean, really? They could have stayed as photos in your portfolio; now Magnolia bakery can steal your designs since you're at least 4 years away from graduating from culinary school. Keep it away from the public if you don't want ideas stolen! But, good job, none the less and impressive work.

[mstoihere]

Wonderful, Keep it up! Hope to see more.

[stupidchinesegirl]

would u like to make my bday cake ill pay u 20 $

THATS ALL I HAVE

[stupidchinesegirl]

how u make 1:22

[Tifdawnc]

that is awesome! you need to give me some tips on decorating because i haven't figured out how to use a piping bag that well. not to mention I'd like to try my hand at baking too? what is a good rule of thumb?

[Shaidypollito]

wouw great work!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SteppyD]

excellent job girl! u surely have a future ahead of you!!! as a fellow baker, GOOD LUCK!! :)

[alicatesi]

you're asking us not to copy but seems like that's what you've done yourself!  Still takes talent and you are so young...I would buy these from your bakery

[Meganox]

I gave credit to the ones I copied. I just see from a viewers point that it sucks when you have a great idea and someone then takes it and takes credit. I'm just encouraging other people to come up with their own ideas. Sure if someone wants to make a turkey cake they can see mine and go "Oh I want to make that!" but why would they want to make a copy? I would encourage them to find new things to do with it, make it their own. Sure I can copy from a book too but I always put my own touch on it.

[3wikipedia]

im sorry, but did u copy this from the kraftkitchens? the christmas ornament and the bunny rabbit?

[Meganox]

the christmas ornament yes, that was so long ago I forgot about that. Thank you for reminding me. The bunny cake was just random, I mean it is pretty simple you really don't need a picture in front of you. I've gone to places and have seen them so I knew how to cut and all that.

[Adretea]

turkey one and sushi one are the best!

[cvue13163]

Wow! So creative! I can't even do this myself! I'll have a nightmare!

[janinetaz]

Follow your dreams Sweetie, you are doing great and I wish you all the best in time to come. You can have your shop if you just keep going. You have talent and you will only get better and better :-) Good Luck JX

[hbwillms]

Some of those ideas came from a book call Hello, Cupcake! by Karen Tack and Alan Richardson. I love love love makeing the sunflower ones!

[Volleyball64]

wow.. in every pictures.. it seems as if your getting better and better!! huuuuggee effort! i watned to own a bakery shop too! lawl but im like 13 only. but when i grow up. anyways. i luve your style and baking skills. so talented. (I WONT COPY) :)

[tailessmermaid]

Those flower cupcakes are sooooo adorable!

[Reqquiem1]

I will be your first customer!!!

[xtfrc]

XOXO

[normalil]

You sure are talented Megan. I'd love to see what you are capable of in a few years time. Keep up the good work. (I love the sunflowers and ladybirds best.) Bet they all taste good too .

[Jezuzluvzyou]

thats is exalctly how i feel and i watch food network all of the time do you like ace of cakes

[ct501s117]

cute lamb :)

i never cant do it

it separe in two parts

[kelsilovesMCR]

i think that you are so creative and you just stop at using candies and frosting.. you should be using real culinary items like fondant and golddust... very creative... keep up the good work! kudos...

[CRAAAAAZYGIRLY]

Those look great, decorating cakes is an art so try to add color and every single detail counts =) good job

[suganspyyce]

Great job! I love the sunflower ones!

[anneza5]

Hey Cutie, I'm a cake decorator, and won't use fondant. I think cakes should taste good, and have intricate designs. You're fabulous to put your work on Youtube. Don't let anyone discourage you from making cakes the way you want to. Create your own nitch. People will be clamoring for your beautiful, delicious cakes. Practice every day on your piping skills. You might want to read books by Toba Garrett, or Kerry Vincent. Although they do fondant, they're master pipers.

[Meganox]

Thank you all so much for the nice comments and feedback :)

[ARLENEPINK1994]

Wow you have very talented ideas and all those cakes look delicious! I hope that all your dreams come true and I know it will because who else can come cup with better designs such as these. Great job!

[monicavizeu]

Thanks.for.share.your.dreams

Good.Luck!

[StephanieD2]

Good job Megan! I think you're going to be fantastic at this. I can definitely see your piping skills improve throughout this video. Way to go! Keep practicing and never ever give up or let anyone get you down. You have a creative imagination, use it to your fullest advantage!

[solariz03]

you have a bright future sweetheart keep it up follow your dreams and you'll see in about ten years we'll see and remember that name "BusyBeeBakery" .

good luck!

[pizzasuxanus]

You have imagination but frosting is sloppy, and if you plan on making it your going to have to use fondant on most cakes, my family is in the business and i promise you, more than 50% of the people want fondant Cakes are usually for special occasions and they dont want something that is sloppy, not to be mean just bein honest..It would REALLY help you alot! and if your going to school your goin 2 learn it anyways so go ahead and do it now & be ahead of every one else, get my point? ~Jess

[Meganox]

oh yes i completely understand, I agree too. Its just im 17 and im really busy with school and trying to get a job so I can't always go out and make fondant. And the icing I like to use is an icing I make but some I just have to go get a can. But I completely understand what you are saying. Fondant gives it a fresh clean surface and when I become more experienced I plan on doing it a lot. Thank you for the helpful advice!

[aabp333]

wow u r really creative and i want to be a pastry chef and open my own bakery as well

im only twelve years old and you inspire me a lot

[Monica1810]

wooo!!

i can see u having ur own shop already

keep it up great work!

[arvizo05]

Wow! You have a great imagination and awesome talent! Keep Baking & Decorating!

[Peteh3377]

I am eleven and i have made the sunflower cupcakes before for mothers day this year and they turned out very well i just love baking with the flower tips don't u?

[dopeace16]

Oh! I've seen alot of these in the book Hello, Cupcake. It has really neat ideas [=

[twinnienumbuh2]

if you open up that shp of busy bee bakery then i would go but busy bee bakery is the title of a book i read when i was five.

[queenVivi1]

she got the crocodile from a magazine. i've seen it! :D

[Meganox]

its from a book called Hello Cupcake!

[antebemick]

You are very creative and gifted. Much success to you!

[kimberkt]

I can tell that you are very dedicated to baking. However, as for originality, I think it is courtesy to give the original creators credit, and maybe you can even let us know what kind of twists you've made to them. I think imitation is the greatest form of flattery, but I think credit is only fair since you preach to others not to copy ideas themselves.

[Meganox]

um most of them are my creations that come from my head. The turkey came straight from my head, so did the first easter one, the christmas cake I used different decorations, the christmas 07 was all my idea, so did my sushi cupcakes, the valentines day cake, the spring cake, the graduation cake, biscotti, and marching band people were all my idea. The lamb cake was from wilton and the sunflower cupcakes and aligator one are from a book Hello Cupcake I just always put my own spin on them. Most of

[Meganox]

what I make is original and from my own head so I dont owe to many people credit except for myself. The only other people to give credit to are Wilton and Hello Cupcake for only a handful of things in this video.

[pinkashee]

You have a lot of talent!!! You will go far

[usafireandrescue]

Very nice job! You are really creative and talented! You will have your own bakery and/or restaurant in no time! Keep up the great work! :-)

[KolbeinnKafteinn]

god hate the music :D but love your cakes you relly have a talent there and after some schooling oyull do grate keep up the good work!

[Meganox]

yeah sorry about the music, my original song was taken down for copyrighting and this was the only one that I liked lol. Thanks for the compliment!

[vinnil1984]

is a mess but looks good i like the aligator good luck too u !!!!!!

[Thood618]

i wish the best for you! Good job kid!

[MyPinkRainbow]

you are very talented, i wish you all the luck , and hopeto see ya on food net work very soon

[fairytalecakes]

nice job!!!

[fairytalecakes]

HiMegan! I rec'd an email saying you had left me a comment, but when I went to see it it was gone. Maybe I hit the wrong button? My daughter loves Nick and the cake was for her she didnt want to eat it either! lol

[sammie1207]

keep up the good work! i love how u used cupcakes to create stuff, very creative!

[anniechoi96]

oh do you you get a lot of inspiration from ace of cakes? :)

[Meganox]

Not really (but i watch it all the time :D) I try to make as many of the things I bake as edible as possible. I'd rather use rice krispies than wood or starbursts and stuff rather than fondant. Like right now an idea popped into my head for a fall thing im going to and I want to make little pumpkins for it. Ace of cakes would probably use marzipan or fondant but I am going to use starbursts and stuff. A little harder to roll out but better tasting to me! Most of my ideas come from either my

[SeriousCakes]

Very cute and creative cakes! You have definitely improved, keep up the good work!!

[honeyzway]

well done, you seem to be very talented!

[DogsRuleLoveMust]

beautiful cakes you have made i wish my can come out good like yrs but thats ok i like my homemade cakes lol ^_^ keep up the good work.
