Planet Cake Decoration Video: Covering a cake

[creationsbywendy]

I hope you post move videos- amazing!

[acosta2821]

where do you get your fondant smoothers? the ones here in the US mostly have a rounded edge to them so the edges do not come out sharp

[Plushcup]

lol Handi was that you in the background? Always look so happy! This must be old school. Handi hasnt been there for a few years now.

[rachaelly1]

0:24 mostly I was paying attention to that guy in the background

[cheekyz01]

would love a video on ganaching aswell plz.

[bw2rodvold]

is that chocolate mold you put on there before fondant?

[mrssoccer1619]

But there is no edges on a circle???

[eaf190688]

Thank you for sharing your tips :)

[livingbydesyne]

a great video and a lovely accent-- but please, what type of syrup? thanks!

[nanefy]

@livingbydesyne it was 1 part apricot jam to 2 parts water, probably boiled then cooled.

[oggiej]

HI what brand is the fondant icing you buy ?

[nanefy]

@oggiej the package looks like Pettinice

[LenaTatuYulya]

She is amazing.

[katewandevanh]

very helpful, thanks!

[iasilvaable]

Hello, I would love to know where I could buy those exact smoothers herein the U. S. I have only seen the Wilton smoothers but these clear ones I have not seen and they seem to be the best to use for a sharp edged cake. Nice trick. Thank you!!!

[imagenthatnj]

@iasilvaable

I had those smoothers ordered from New Zealand. I think they only have them in Australia (where Planet Cake is located) and New Zealand. A friend sent me a few. They're beautiful. They're called Perspex Smoothers. (Perspex is their equivalent name to plexiglass/lucite here in the US.)

[nitchka]

Brilliant video!

[yomato26]

6:36 - did u SAY go over with your penis?????!

[Cristylive]

@yomato26 lmao..omg i believe i herd that too

[ChocoolatePrincess]

Hi Anna-Maria, ich bin 100% sicher, dass du Deutsche bist ;-)

Ich bekomm von meiner Tante aus den USA nächste Wochen WiltonZubehör und kann es kaum abwarten mit dem Kuchendekorieren anzufangen. Vielen Dank für die Tipps <3

Brauch ich so einen Fondant-glattstreicher oder kann ich das auch nur mit den Händen machen?? Leider hab ich den nicht bestellt. Hast du ne Alternative die ich statt dessen benutzen kann?

Liebe Grüße aus der Heimat <3

[andrew8833]

@ChocoolatePrincess Your the one thats clearly the stupid one you sad boring little runt that you are.

But you are funny as hell to wind up pml.

Your just sooo legendary with all your effort in slating her, its equally as pathetic as you so call 'kate likers' or whatever.

Just answer me this yes? WHO REALLY CARES???

Fucking get a life and an internet connection of your own you stupid boring little dweeb, oh i forgot, you have to have money to do that, such a shame isnt it?

HAHA!!

[andrew8833]

@ChocoolatePrincess I do love how dull and boring you life must be you sad and lonely little runt, not suprised you dont have any friends in reality do you?

So wat do you do with your time exactly?

FUCK All BY THE SOUNDS OF IT YOU SAD AND LONELY LITTLE TWURP

[allaboutgabby]

WOW! That's amazing! She makes it look so easy. I need to study this video and practice!

[JemmetGK]

*sigh* I need practice...

[myzackary1]

just curious if she shaves her arms cuz she used her arm to push the dough down which if she has hairs on her arm you could be eating her arm hair? just thought i would point that out!

[JemmetGK]

@myzackary1

Yes, not to mention the epithelials she's leaving because she's using her hands, or the internal bacteria she's leaving because she's breathing near her work, or all the other workers who worked on the ingredients she's using, who breath and sweat and shed and...

Look people we live on a dirty planet. Get over it and build up your weak, sterile, modern immune (or lack of it) systems!

Either that or live in a bubble... alone...

[SuperFreezingcold]

This is how everybody makes cake,what's disgusting in it?

[tashalovesu]

i find fondant discussing or what ever icing shes kneading i would never eat that cake

[erhunsese]

what is discussing?

and why won't you eat the cake.

[tashalovesu]

the icing ur using, its like eating a cake covered with play doh.....

[rtakyi60]

@tashalovesu yhaa ihts fondant

[SlightlyAbnormal]

@tashalovesu good! more for meeee :D

[chingylingy27]

where can I get smoother's like those?

[kitebabe05]

sorry what is the different from icing and fondant?? its the same?

[uberathlete]

Icing is the general term for icing. Fondant is a type of icing. What she used is fondant icing.

[TheAlexReynosoShow]

Fondant is a type of dough used to cover a cake.

icing is just icing

[jennycwy]

great work!!

[ainihassan909]

how to get smooth cake like that???

[jojzoro]

that was awsome

[adripast]

incorporated into the pasta and 1 tablespoon of glycerin to double the amount of glucose, to prevent cracking of fondant. congratulation from chile, I love the place where they work

[aireentoh]

can anyone tell how to stop the fondant from cracking...

cause though i only started kneading, the edges cracks..

i heard other people use crisco...

is there an alternative to crisco??..

cause i tried looking for it in shops but they didnt have them..

eheh thanks..!!

[CascadeDesignerCakes]

hello

you can place you sugarpaste (rolled fondant) in a micro wave for about 20-30 sec , untill warm be carefully !!

remove from the micro wave then knead until soft, roll out icing on icing sugar only and NOT corn starch

happy cake dec to prevent cracks do not use to much icing sugar just an little bit .

[belanneman]

Copha...

[emma2710gymnastics]

i have the planet cake book and its amazing!!!!!

[momoncall456]

the sugar syrup recipe- do i just bring to a quick boil- please advice

[joshua61991]

it is apricot jam and water, any type of suger water you just need to warm it up until it dissolves the sugar or in their case jam. Nothing particular temp wise.

[xdevilxbabex2003]

i actually use the same amount of choc to cream, 600/600 . ive always done it like this and find it much tastier, thicker and easier to work with.

[shancus111]

Ganache is 300ml of cream to 600g of quality chocolate 2-1 ratio.Heat the cream up to near boiling ,place the chocolate in a heatproogf glass bowl and pour cream over.Stir until a rich smooth and glossy.Refrigerate and is used instead of buttercream ,on your cake before applying sugar paste .Planet cakes have a booked out called Planet Cake with all this info and have classes in Sydney,Melbourne and Brisbane.

[shancus111]

Ganache double choc to cream 300ml of pure cream to 600g chocolate.

Heat the cream to almost boiling Place chocolate into heatproof glass bowl and and pour cream over.Stir until a rich smooth gloosy ganache.Allow to cool and apply to your cake Use this instead of buttercream for a great finish before applying sugar paste.They have a great book out called Planet cakes and there recipes and methods are in there .They also have workshops in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.

[brazil760]

FANTASTIC!!!What a professional!!

[lily13526]

Hi! does anyone has a recipe for Chocolate ganache? Please : )

[able223]

chocolate and butter

[lily13526]

Just chocolate and butter ? Thanks! I though it was more complicated. : )

[LonelynessDork]

pretty awesome.

[dollarsharnel]

The cake has been covered in chocolate ganache first.

[dollarsharnel]

She didn't say Penis, she said fingers. It's her accent.

[RadioActiveOreo]

woah.... she sounds like a woman arnold schwarzenegger...

[PlatinumCakes]

Guys..... just to clear things up about this Penis incident. She said Fingers and then said hands.

It may have sounded like penis because she has an accent.

Aside from that, she is the most professional person i've seen so far showing how to cover a cake with fondant. Her cake looks the best when finished. I'll be aiming to become as good as her.

Thanks for just a great video.

[BMaartin14]

hahaha

[FUl0VECk]

LOL @ the guy in the backk!

[Fizzylious]

add more videos please !!! =)

[iluEddyC]

she said finish not penis but it was really FUNNY.

:D

[califreak4595]

the guy is funnay in the back!

[Justaph]

" the last step is to go over with your fingers" lol i thought she said peni also hehe. hey.. but she's kind of cute

[lipgloss4554]

she definitaley said peni at 6:35 :P i don't know what she was supposed to have sed but i think it came out slightly wrong :) truley proffesional though x

[kraigsmith1]

6:35 I SWEAR SHE SAID PENIS

i think imma make a cake like that tomorow :]

[starryeyesurpise]

great video! god, germans are so efficient! no chit chat, straight to the point! love it!

[Salsa0Bebe]

most professional vid ive seen! thanks ! do u have one on frosting, or using home made icing instead of roll out?

[uberathlete]

Dang she's quick. True pro indeed.

[Remiera]

You have to be fast with fondant.

It gets really stiff really quick.

[Jbaucom1]

what kind of chocolate icing is on the cake?

[komaneshy]

esta padrisimo pero me gustaria saver si esa pasta es comestible y sobretodo saver que es esa pastaaa.!! me estoy bobiendo0 lokaa.!!

[OfCourse03]

jaja claro qe es comestible,  y ese es el fondant no?

[PinkNinja337]

Do I have to use 2 smoothers? Can I use just one?

[SpringyGal]

yes.

[pariscake27]

Amazing - great skills you guys!

[hielitolindo]

thanks, i need this for a birthday cake!

[blegh]

She really needed a more stable work surface...it shakes with like every move she makes!

[reppinofficial]

wat a pro she makes it look so eazy

[xm3ggzx]

wow that was perfect

great work =]

[xdevilxbabex2003]

preserve is the same yes. the thing is with apricot jam is it seems to become one with the cake and doesnt have to much of a rubust flavour, so its hardleys noticable, i suppose using a smooth (no seeds) strawberry jam would be fine, but you would be able to taste it more :)

[xdevilxbabex2003]

well just make it even, Say . . 1 table of spoon of apricot jam , to two tablespoons of water . . Bascially which ever measurment u use for the quantity you need, just double the water . . so if u had a jar of jam, youd need two jars of water :D

[judeeann1983]

oh ok! thanks for that.. =) that was helpful..

can i use an apricot preserve? this is the same for jam right? and can i use strawberry preserve instead of apricot? thanks!

[xdevilxbabex2003]

yes. She said one part apricot jam and two parts water :) Hope that helps :)

[judeeann1983]

hello! hehee.. i really don't know what 2 parts and 1 part mean.. what does it mean?

[judeeann1983]

Hi! I think this is such an informative video but i want to make sure that i heard it right. the syrup you brushed on the cakes was a mix of apricot jam and water? hope you can give me an answer. thanks!

[Gretaa10]

that was great!

i'd love to see more (:

x

[xbaybeexgembobx]

bfore you put icing on and that thing on ...

what do you put on bfore ?

[fawz23]

great!!!!!!what a pro!

[RebeccaLure]

u can get the fondant smoothers at michael's craft store. they shud have a Wilton baking section =D

[sandypuppy4evaxoxo]

lol there is like a random dude in the background

[TaylorHicksgirl]

wow... now i think i know everything about covering a cake. thanks!

[EmmaSparks2]

what the hell is up with the dude in the back ground?

[navajowarrior93]

where can you get those fondant smoothers i live in arizona sooo can u get them here in the U.S. ? thank u

[Courtney123noname]

My mom's getting on my last nerve with this cake crap! lol

[krissy0289]

Love it thank you

[woodthi]

I want those smoothers........she does a great job here. I always use mmf, and it is never this easily manipulated in the table. any thoughts?

[kckb5252]

its not icing that you are putting on the cake. she is putting on fondant and there is a big difference. icing is smooth. fondant is made out of sugar. that is basically what it is. thats not icing its fondant.

[navajowarrior93]

u r so good plzz post some more videos ur amazing

[jazzbully2]

This looks a lot easier (and prob better tasting) than the normal way. You don't have to deal with the buttercream showing under the fondant. Plus who doesn't love ganache.

[jazzbully2]

Just so everyone knows that's a ganache cake she's covering.

[ozdoodster]

Thank you so much, do you put another layer of fondant over the top?

[LadyCortez1]

WOW °_° i love this video

[pianista24]

Wow, she's good! I'm impressed with how well she smoothed out the sides/edges. She made it look so easy!

The part where she used her arm, though, that was kinda......you know. Can you do that? Oh well, no one ever eats the fondat anyway.

[JHdez360]

I don't really like marshmallow fondant myself. I use Toba Garrett's recipe and it's really tasty, definitely not like the stuff you get in the store :D She has the recipe in her books.

[JHdez360]

oops, put this reply in the wrong spot...

[pauldenhertog256]

thanks alot, it's reaaaaaaaaaaaly smooooth

Can you make the fondant yourself?

[talk2dar]

Yes you can. I've made marshmallow fondant which is more tasty than regular rolled fondant. YOu cna find recipes for both on the net.

[bakingwild]

There is a video for marshmallow fondant on youtube.

[niinaathai]

Very useful video. Thank you for sharing :)

[khadijafarah]

that was not the way my teacher taught me but i will try it

[walkingoneggshells]

That is not how my teacher taught me to do it. I will try this way next. Thanks.

[Yanipooh]

now i know why my first fondant attempt was so crappy the cake had a million hills and valleys and cracks and the icing was melting it puddles like ice cream. I now know the base of a great fondant covered cake must be a frosted cake with a stable frosting that is almost perfectly smooth. Thanks guys!

[cut3Nd4chINk]

is that cake already frosted or just fresh cake?

[craving4sugar]

very nicely done video

thank you for sharing!

[force1babe]

WOW Great instructions!!! Thanks for sharing!!

[FMAfanFMA]

I wanna touch it XDDDDD

[justinbrat]

i would feel absolutely happy to pay good money to eat their cakes. so professional...

[Dlorezzz]

your forearm on the icing did not look sanitary.....

[justsumgrrl]

I know I was like, "eww arm hair."

JSG

PS.

But it still looks great!

[notamebie9]

[kuratna64]
