VW Beetle Cake in Buttercream

[CaitlinJane8]

This cake is amazing! I like that you used buttercream to decorate, because I'm not a huge fan of fondant. I was asked today If I could make a race car cake for March and this video was very helpful and gave me a lot of good ideas! Thanks so much :)

[SeriousCakes]

@CaitlinJane8 Thank you! Glad I could help :D There's a link under the video in my notes for the person who helped me, if her site is still up maybe it can give you some more ideas.

[CoverdaleBlue1]

The cake is beautiful, love your comments and the music is stunning. Thank you very much for these very agreeable almost 8 minutes :o)

I love how you spend so much time and effort on making a car, and then make cake balls with the scraps! Nice-looking car btw! :)

[1984stoker]

love it!

[Pokemonloversforever]

looks yum, any tips because I might start baking cakes with my mother. She's onto cake eating not cake baking. Any slight tips?

[Lyllye]

the subtitles are distracting anyway

[SeriousCakes]

I can't post a link but if you go to my website it's my basic yellow cake recipe but with almond extract and sour cream instead of milk. Directly under the video are the links for my sites :)

I'm with bluedayrain85. I really need a good, dense, yummy :) cake recipe for carving. I want to star topsy- turvy cakes but I can't find a good carving recipe.

[tadamuto4ever]

@RindaJ95 you can also use pound cake (store bought or homade) it is a very dense cake , perfect for carving ^^

[bluedayrain85]

What is your cake recipe, I am still trying to find a good dense cake for my carved cakes! I am thinking of making a non convertible old style slug bug car for my dad, any suggestions on how to get started with that? I have never made a car cake yet and am a bit nervous.

[erikcray]

Dvorak New World totally makes this video! :D

[tiaree972]

Does the cake has to be frozen to be able to carve it?

[SeriousCakes]

@tiaree972 Not at all! This is a dense enough cake that it handles carving very well :D

[tiaree972]

@SeriousCakes Thank you so much I will try that for sure! Greetings from Paris, France!

Does the cake has to be frozen to be carve it?

i love watching you make you cakes..all of them. I don't mind having to pause or rewind to see what your captions were saying..i get wrapped into watching you that i don't notice them until they're just about vanished! haha,

[adewinta]

[casarianna]

Your VW bug cake look a LOT better then the one i attempted to make but at least it was yummy. What's The name of the song in your video?!?!?! ps. Love your videos.

[lindalu47]

[The68VEEDUB]

classic VW do have the VW sign on them on beetles it is located in the center at the top of the hood near the windshield wipers. I would know because I own one

[supersupra101]

they do have the vw sign on them, the logo on the front hood near the middle of the windshield, and the word volkswagon on the rear hood

[nomesy81]

i wanted a VW beetle red velvet cake for my birthday on the 4th of this month.. my cake makers oven blew up.. so i had no cake :( so i'm watching this imagining it is mine... :) 

[brotherjupiter]

[OpTjc]

[econtreras0808]

Great job! i hope to make cakes like you one day soon,

Any specific Buttercream recipe you make? I've never tried making with butter my wilton teacher said it dosen't hold well?/Any tips...

[SeriousCakes]

@econtreras0808 lol, the recipe I use has butter in it and it works just fine :D If you click on my name it will take you to the rest of my videos, it's posted there.

[BEVERYCUMMINS]

[Roosterboii]

[Gargopallet16]

i i was married to you, i woul not make you angry cuz ur pretty handy with that big knife :P

[SeriousCakes]

@Gargopallet16 Hahahahah :D

[ChrisRockindamaking]

SHouldve taken a photo of your belly and been like "as i said, they went to good use." :)

[SeriousCakes]

@xoLeafxGaryox lol-Let me just say there were no leftovers for this cake, the birthday boy wanted to have some later that night and found none :D

[sselerac]

how do you get black frosting?whenever i try it always ends up grey and when i add more food coloring it changes the taste.

BTW just found your channel yesterday.LOVE your videos

[SeriousCakes]

@sselerac Use chocolate buttercream, works MUCH better! If you don't have any chocolate buttercream add a small amount of cocoa powder to your vanilla buttercream (and you might need to add alittle cream if it's too thick), then add the black to that.

[sselerac]

@SeriousCakes thankyou

[tjsheehey]

Just wanted to give you an FYI, Classic VWs have a VW logo on Hood by windsheild above chrome strip, most just dont survive time, very nice cake!

[SeriousCakes]

@tjsheehey lol-thank you!! I looked at soooo many pics trying to find one, no one has a picture of it!

[TigersPrettyBunny]

There is a question that has been haunting me ever since I started watching cake shows. All the cuttings you take off... are those thrown away? You probably don't, but in those shows do they just chuck out all that viable material? GOD it's such a waste it makes me cringe >.<

[SeriousCakes]

@TigersPrettyBunny I hear ya! Most of the time I'll freeze my leftovers or give it away. I learned the hard way that it's not wise to eat them, lol, gained 15 lbs!!

[TigersPrettyBunny]

@SeriousCakes

D8 I know! I was nibbling here and there while making a black forrest cake today and I think I need to up my working out routine (i.e. do something more than housework!) lol

[trippingmillie]

This made me laugh over and over again! Very entertaining and a very cool cake!

[cakestudent95]

those looked good at the end lol i make crumb cake out of them lol yum yum
