[MissEpod]

Thank you so much ! I can't wait to seet the rest of your vids. You're the best!! :D

[OTTAVIA99]

This only issue, is that I make my cakes from scratch..I find cake box are always more most, than from scratch. But I will try your great tips for flatting right after the come out of the oven.

[OTTAVIA99]

OMG, this fantastic!! You answered so many off all my issues,and your tips were great!

[momgns]

Love love love your video.I feel like your speaking directly to me. You definitley have that X factor. They need you on the food network. I'll be in the audience when your on Oprah. Keep those videos coming !!!!

I make cakes for a hobby, and thought I was the only one to wrap hot cakes in plastic wrap, and put them straight into the freezer. It seems so strange I don't tell anyone, but all my cakes are so moist, people can't believe they're mixes. I like your parchment paper squares from Sam's idea. I hadn't thought of that. And I must get one of those giant boxes of plastic wrap. What a savings.

Your style of video is so down to earth, and casual. It's like I watching my sister baking.

[anneza5]

Please make more cake videos. I love you.

[TakeMyAdvice101]

Well, thank you so much. I will make more soon but right now I have to get through the launch of a new product which is what I do full-time. Did you watch the video about how to fund your cake hobby? Once I get that going well, I'll be back to making the cakes for videos. And thanks again so much. I love you too!!!!!LOL

ca...u tel me...? can i bake a smal cake in an ovensafe plastic bowl...in smal mircowave oven? HELP

[NephilemResNovae]

I found another good tip with cakes:

If your using a box cake (or any cake cause i dont see why it wont work)

take about a tablespoon or so of the DRY mix into the bottem of a greased baking pan. The cake releses better than using only vegible spray and wont have that funnky flour tast that you might get from using flour and grease. Try it! It realy works!

[TakeMyAdvice101]

This would be a great idea if you feel you have to grease and flour it. I never do that. I always use wax paper in the bottom then there's no need for either but I do spray the sides. It will never stick with the wax paper in the bottom. But great idea instead of flour if you choose that way.

[angeleyes3250]

Can i use parchment paper instead of wax paper?

[TakeMyAdvice101]

Absolutely. Actually, parchment paper is best but it's more expensive. As you know I'm all about saving money. But pp is absolutely the best.

[hatedmother]

Thank you so much for your videos! I just started to learn how to bake and decorate cakes and found your videos very helpful! I would love for you to do to one on buttercream flowers and basketweave!

You are GREAT!

[aiccdd]

I'm ready for another one of your wonderful videos!!!

[TakeMyAdvice101]

Thank you aiccdd -

I'm working on it, I promise. It's alot more time consuming that I realized but there are some in the works. If you subscribed you'll be notified as soon as I post something new.

Today is Saturday the 18th of April. Hold me to this. I will get a video done for you tonight and get it on YouTube. You'll love me for this. :)

[yumcupcakesyum]

THANKS SO MUCH!!!! I AM SO EXCITED!!!

[TakeMyAdvice101]

Today is Saturday the 18th of April. Hold me to this. I will get a video done for you tonight and get it on YouTube. You'll love me for this. :) THEN, let me know how you like it. Okie Dokie?

[TakeMyAdvice101]

Okay then I will do it. I actually was thinking about this today because I have a really good recipe for the filling. I will show you how to make it and how to fill the cupcakes. If you learn how to do this, you will ALWAYS be the hit of the party. My 11 year old, Maxey, likes to fill cupcakes too. Soon, very soon.

[yumcupcakesyum]

I would LOVE to see a cream filled cupcake! They are so yummy!!!

[yumcupcakesyum]

This is such an excellent and inventive idea! I find that flour and canola oil doesn't work. I suggest you write and publish a cook book with all of our excellent strategies.

[TakeMyAdvice101]

I just posted a comment on your suggestion but I didn't put it in the right location. I posted a comment instead of replying. You can read it and know that it applies to your suggestion and thanks so much .

[TakeMyAdvice101]

LOL, I knew what you meant. And I liked your suggestions. I wish people would give me suggestions about what they want to see on a video. That would be exceptionally helpful, don't you think?

[BigandLittleM]

Thank you so much for the information! When you make cupcakes, do you use the saran wrapping technique also to keep them moist?

[angela3584]

Took a cake decorating course at community college. There was 10 of us in the class which was good, but the tools costed me alot. I enjoyed watching your video on youtube. I hope you get your website up and running soon. Would like to take your class instead going back to college again.

[stinkycookie86]

Oh my goodness, you are a so amazing for doing this. I have to say that I have taken all of the wilton cake decorating classes and bought everything they asked forbut what good does it do if you cant use. I had a pretty good teacher but with almost 20 people in the class all the times it was hard to really get help with something. I practice all the time but from time to time I need help. Thank you for doing this, you have become my favorite person to watch!

Keep doing the videos they are great

[susHii1205]

woooww!! nice technique:D

[go4thus]

WOW!! PLEASE PLEASE continue to give your wonderful videos!! I was so lucky to find you!!! Thank you so much!!

[TakeMyAdvice101]

Thank you for this nice comment. My website will be up in part by 8/18/08. I hope you enjoy it. It will be a few weeks in the building process but I promise it will be worth the wait.

[go4thus]

I checked your website but its not working

:-( But I'll keep watching your great vids!!

[TakeMyAdvice101]

Website is not up yet. This takes a little longer than I thought because I'm not a computer whiz. Sorry and keep watching. I'll post a video when it's up and running.

[dkycutie78]

Hi, what is your website address to find out about the online cake decorating classes that you have? You have some wonderful ideas! Also, do you have any pictures of some of the cakes that you have done? I am just starting out. Took my first wilton class last week.. we just started learning how to use the star tip tonight.. I am really interested in learning more..

Thanks, Dena

[TakeMyAdvice101]

Hello Dena,

My website, hopefully, will be up by 8/18/08. I will be building it slowly as I am not a computer guru and since I do everything as cheaply as I can, I'm doing it myself. Please excuse any glitches you may encounter. I'm learning. I've had so many requests for pictures that I will be putting them on there slowly. I have to take them out of my Creative Memories album. Uh, oh. Money wasted. When it's ready, I'll do a youtube video telling you where to look.

Cherie

[TRochelles]

I usually just watch the videos here but I wanted to let you know how much I am looking forward to your videos! Thank you so much for all the future help you will provide and get to cranking out the videos because I just can't wait!!!

[TakeMyAdvice101]

Thank you DemonDaysOpenDoor. And there's so much more to come. I'm going to actually give some instructions and the icing recipe that i've been asked to make for large groups over and over again. Believe it or not, people will buy this icing without the cake !!! Actually, I do a few things that I will show anyone to do if they want to learn. They can be really good ways to make money on decorations. No special tools or talent, just information that no one else will give you.

Cherie

[DemonDaysOpenDoor]

i wish i had a cool teacher like you for learning how to make cakes
