i want to write scrolls and scrolls in your praise but i can't find any words!! you are out of this world - buttercream queen!! i would need another lifetime to be a smidgen as good as you. love the colors you use, love the way you decorate!! learning a lot from you - thankyou!!
lol very adorable!! i luv the baskety thingamabobwhatchathingy! (lol) and i agree with animeaddiction your writing does not suck (u should see mine lol)and your attention to detail is very... scary. but it makes the cakes so pretty!!= D
You make all of the decorating so easy. Its great watching youre video's. It made me want to bake end decorate cakes to. Ceep up the great work, thanks!!
i've heard that a good way to practice decorating is to use instant mashed potatoes (on a plate, not a cake! lol). do you think that it would stay up? or would it just kind of mush out?
Well, they generally get eaten within 3 days so I haven't tested them longer than that. I usually bake a day or 2 ahead of when I need the cake so they're good for about a week as long as they remain covered. I also keep everything at room temp, the frosted cake does not go into the fridge.
I love your videos. Very educational and the music is great. Maybe you can enlighten us with a video to decorate a cake for Christmas.
I want to impress my family but can't come up with any ideas. I keep waiting for your next video, even if it isn't on a Christmas cake. Maybe the cream cheese frosting you said you were going to try. Just keep them coming, please. Thanks for sharing. Blessings and Merry Christmas
Hey Kitty, I actually tried to film a cake the other night but couldn't get the camera to focus properly. This new camera is such a pain!! Maybe I'll do another slide show though with some winter-themed ideas.
I did try a couple cream cheese frosting recipes but haven't hit on the 'perfect' one yet. I have my own which is good but I don't know it if will work as well for everyone else.
Maybe I can do a video this week, have to see how things go...
Some tell to use a bag with very little icing in it, squeeze it all down towards the tip and try holding and squeezing it as though it were a pen. I tried that and saw a big improvement on my writing the very first time. Still not the greatest but much better.
I have heard of that before but I find that the smaller amount of icing I have that harder it is for me to handle. I have pretty big hands, I feel like I have more control if the bag is fuller.
I love watching your videos. I am going to be making a very simple wedding cake for my daughter in a little over a month. She only wants a two tiered cake so that will be okay. Plus her grandma is getting her a sheetcake of another flavor.
I once tried some store bought fondant but I did not like the flavor. I thought it was nasty so either fondant is nasty or else that brand was nasty. Have you ever tried using those edible food pens for coloring on a cake?
Oh my you are the best. What tip or tips can you give me about cake decorating. My 15 yr old daughter and I attempt but it comes out not so great and we dont know how to use the tips. I will practice an Iam glad you alway include Tip #, but I still need to see it up close ... I want to practice but I need to see something to keep practicing.
Unfortunately I cannot do close-ups when I'm filming because when I turn the cake whatever I'm filming goes out of the picture. If I could get someone else to film me that would be a different story :)
Practice is really the key, pressure control is something that only comes through practicing and once you get the hang of it you'll have very little trouble making whatever you want!
haha at first when in the beggining i thought you were doing all this on a cake. and i was like how did she get the cake to be so round like that and smooth! but great job though
lol-the beginning of my video was originally going to be like those emergency broadcast tests...'This is a test of the emergency caking system. What you are seeing is not a cake, had this been an actual cake you would be drooling on your computer. Again, this was just a test' :)
You have inspired me to try some of the things that you do. Do you ever make gumpaste flowers? I love to experiment making them because they make suck beautiful flowers. I have also made the chocolate rose that you did which was an inspiration from you also. Thank you so much you are so talented and also have done the brush embrodiery from watching yours also. Dinieby
Thank you! No, I haven't tried gumpaste yet but I've seen some incredible work done with it. Do you have your pics posted somewhere? I'd love to see them :)
Thank you for the email, no I don't have any pictures posted I hope to someday but right now don't have time and don't have the know how of how to do it. I love to watch everyones videos it is a good teaching. I have taken 3 classes of wilton so far, I have to take 2 cakes sunday for the finals on coares 2 and fondat and gumpaste. I think I have learned more from just watching the videos here on you tube. Do you have any suggestions of anyone elses to check out.
Unfortunately there is a serious lack of caking videos on youtube, tonedna does things like fondant, marzipan, and royal icing, and aine2 does figurines, but for the kind of things I make I haven't found too many. I'm hoping that more people will though, I love watching people decorate cakes!!
These decorations were very cute and gave me some ideas, but I must say, the shadows and dark lighting made it hard to see the details of your piping- especially on the cornucopia and turkey (chocolate buttercream). I'm glad I could see the results with the pictures taken in the end. Nice work! Keep em' coming!
*sigh* The lighting in my kitchen is actually very good! For some reason the camera dims it and I can't tell until I go to upload the video :( Hmmm, maybe I'll get a lamp just for when I do another video, that might help :)
Loving the Basket Weave! Youre amazing! I was almost suprised at the end when you said you didn't own a bakery.

lol, I'm not sure how that would work, I guess it would depend on how smooth the mashed potatoes are, and if they don't have any lumps.
