How to do drop strings

[Karen28K]

Its pretty cool !! ofcourse mine didnt't turn out like that.......

[Dksbib]

Hey. So beautiful. I have a question, what do you have in these tips? I mean is it sugar? Im totaly new to this cake stuff, and I want to make a cake for someone's birthday.

[littlepix101]

@Dksbib I think it's butter-cream.

[AppleKhanoom]

wow looks great, I would have used less colors tho ;) I mean blue doesn't really go with anything there but again that's your personal preference ;)

[TheCatkin1]

gorgeous!!!

[taleeni]

I love it!

[mrsriveraful]

AMAZING! I also want to do that for my mom!

[LeeseeLee1]

That is amazing!

[BrunaNicoliche18]

eu quero um desse no meu aniversario :P

[xtoxicurex]

Very beautiful. I wasn't feeling the decorations at the beginning because I didn't see where you were going with it all. But in the end, it tied together very nicely!! I myself am just starting to get into cakes, and this has inspired me!

[ayaladago]

muy bonito, solo una pregunta, las flores son de buttercream or cream whiped?

[AndreaNadiaR]

Great tutorial, and I loved how the music got more and more intense as time went on.

[marshalloffire88]

Wow! I thought this was a wonderful video.  I was impressed. Did you go to school or self-taught? Can you put icing on top of Fondant? I have next to no skill with cake decorating. How difficult is doing that, really? :o )

[MsBerryblue]

peter pan <3

[BeigetheChihuahua]

awe. this cake was simply magicall

[1330bruce]

I love this cake. I am new at cake decorating and this was very informative. You make it look easy and I am looking forward going to give it a try.

[Charestria]

[LemonScissors]

What a lovely person you must be making those cakes... I can assume your husband/fiancee loves you very well by te ring you're wearing (i can't wait to get mine! :D) The effort you put on making all those cute ornaments to make it look so beautiful shows so much love coming from you. I loved those details, the cake and you sharing it with us.

Please do more and i'll subscribe!

[mojoribs]

[cecilecakes629]

deep breath haa...

[JBmyworlddaenna1]

super super love it ;)

[gnossticc]

What turnttable are you using? Wilton, Ateco? Beautiful job!

[gnossticc]

This is such a work of art that requires a firm pulse or else you'll get uneven results. Nerves of steel I'd say! l0l

[xristinarose69]

i like it, I just wouldnt have patience to be that precise

[johripallavi]

i recently started makin cakes n hv been watchin videos on u tube by various people...u r awesome..i'm goin to try these patterns now...thanx a ton!!:))

[Lyllye]

Where do you get the beads on your turn table and how do they work

[Janetc0810]

WOW.....I THOUGHT THAT IT WAS HARD BECAUSE THEY SHOWED IT WAS HARD ON CAKE BOSS.........TATS SO COOL!!! :D

[morbiddenflower]

omg....thank you so much for uploading this!!!! you! are! awesome!! :D



[mydragonspectrum]

HUMMM....Would have been nicer if you would have indicated the tip number of all the tips you used as you used them. Still one of the better videos that I watched today.

[SeriousCakes]

@mydragonspectrum In the beginning I listed tip 2 for the strings, at 4:29 it says tip 4, 5:05 says 103, matter of fact... all the tip numbers are listed as I used them, are you sure you're referencing the correct video?

[onepinkcookie]

naaaw i love this song!!!! :D

[xlank04]

Beautiful job my next challenge is to get this down :D

[manboobsdk]

i would love to be youre mom!

[iamgirl000]

not as easy as it looks >:/

[island671lady]

When the string broke I was like, "OH SNAP!" *Aha-ha. Great job!

[SusanM1995]

The cakes you make are just.. WOW

[pansyed]

irz awesum!! the music suits itz too

[luvbeingmama83]

how did you get the icing so thin

[misscakery]

@luvbeingmama83 She thinned it out with corn syrup

[heelrunner]

What do you do with the excess icing? Can you refrigerate that?

[misscakery]

@heelrunner Most buttercream will keep in the fridge for at least 2 weeks. Just let it come to room temperature and beat it until it's smooth again.

[MrsMoe07]

How do yo let your buttercream crust before pipping.

[misscakery]

@MrsMoe07 Let the cake sit out until you can touch it without any frosting coming off.

[vemon95]

I want one!!

[theprincesskadoodle]

I teach cake decorating but am always interested in seeing other's work to see if I missed something. I love your sense of humor! We have the same approach to this delicious art! Well done!

[pinayatlove9]

Beautiful.Very Beautiful.

[prettyflower44]

O and one more thing...do you use two cakes and put icing in the middle? then smooth out the rest of the cake? or do you bake one big cake and just cut it in the middle?

[prettyflower44]

1)where did you buy all your tips?

2)Why did you tilt the cake during the drapeing?

3)PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO A TUTORIAL ON A BIRTHDAY CAKE, if you havent already!!!!!!!

Your amazing!

[GlitterPops97]

WOW.

[MarcusHBP7]

how beautiful! you have amazing talent!

[lionking1926]

it is very very very pretty,i'm sure it will taste as good too as it looks like ;-)

[Rand0motion]

what kind of buttercream icing did you use? is it the one made with crisco shortening or the one called Italian Meringue buttercream icing? i have been testing frosting for a wedding cake for an outdoor reception. need something that can hold up to heat . dont really want to use the fondant.any suggestion will be appreciated. i like how smooth the frosting is...

[djazayria84]

[arlenequilantang]

@bobkin611 what a privilage watching this video thanks and more power from arlene a filipina in israel

[bobkin611]

[HeidiNailArt]

wow, what a wonderful cake :D

you are good.

[SergioMasala]

Congratulations. Very nice creation. I like it. And thank you for sharing.

[abstopmotion]

how did you tilt it and not have the cake slid off? because I was making a cake a few days ago and I tilted it and it slid off luckily it did not hit anything and did not need any repairs or resmoothing done.

[SeriousCakes]

@abstopmotion For extra insurance I'll use one of those non-slip pads that you line drawers with, never had one fall yet! Of course, now that I've said that it will probably happen next time I tilt ;D

[abstopmotion]

@SeriousCakes Lol thanks

btw your kind of like my caking hero (sparkles!)

[MrNotJessica]

@SeriousCakes how do u make the frosting? whip cream with food coloring is it?

[medooo575]

I think you are the best all around cake decorator. Your work is beautiful. Where are you located? I would love to be able to have some lessons with you. How are your recipes? I have yet to find a white cake recipe that I am happy with. Please share all your tips with us. Thanks for your great videos.

Linda

[heather19821982]

it is very nice, thank-you for sharing!!! it looks like your cake is just finished in buttercream.....do you find it easier to pipe onto a buttercream finished cake, or one finished off with fondant?

[SeriousCakes]

@heather19821982 lol, I've only ever used buttercream on buttercream so I can't provide a comparison :)

[slsrox1298]

@heather19821982 I prefer fondant :) just cuz its smoother but its your preference if u can get buttercream that smooth go ahead :)

[slsrox1298]

@heather19821982 Its easier t get off if you mess up as well :)

[MissLoverJulia]

You are unbeliveble,, you are fantastic,, :D

[NTNigga]

What kind of piping bags are you using? Were can I get them?

[SeriousCakes]

@NTNigga They are disposable piping bags, I buy them from local craft stores :D

[goldcoast1100]

You are a great teacher.

[SeriousCakes]

@goldcoast1100 Thank you! :D

[danito1981]

My dear Lord! I just panicked here when the string broke, you are BIG in this! thnak you for the vid

[HealingSurvior]

what kind and size of tip did you use?

[SeriousCakes]

@HealingSurvior It's a #3 Wilton tip :)

[fofs1435]

LOL i was thinking,maybe you could use more colors, like purple and red......it might look even better! :D

[HayatoAyaka]

I LOVE PETER PAN!!! :D

[sabzilicious]

hey!! i really wanted to kno y u use corn syrup in ur frosting awesum video...which tip did u use for the strings?

[SeriousCakes]

@sabzilicious It allows the strings to droop without breaking :D

[SeriousCakes]

@sabzilicious #3

[sabzilicious]

hey!! i really wanted to kno y u use corn syrup in ur frosting

[TheGaryhartmann]

You're an artist! .. a cake artist! HOW AWESOME! Great job, its beautiful! I hope your mom liked it! :)

[golfergal]

[golfergal]

I love your cakes!  They are absolutely gorgeous! I have learned so much!

[westindian07]

that is simply divine.. beautiful work

[luciarockkobe]

OMG

you are a blessed cake decorating saint YOU ROCK

did you use royal icing?

[SeriousCakes]

@luciarockkobe Nope, all buttercream :D

[Niickzer]

I hate you! I kid I kid :D

Bake me a cake and I'll love you forever! <3

[attentionstatic]

The techniques are not my problem....its getting that royal icing formula for optimal quality...if its slightly off you aint making rose pedals, strings , shells, stars or anything...All you are gonna make is a mess..... How do you know or how can you tell when your Royal icing is ready to go ??? Im an amateur, but I bake and make professional tasting and looking cakes. At least I try.

[SeriousCakes]

@attentionstatic lol, I don't have any experience with royal, only buttercream :D

[attentionstatic]

@SeriousCakes OH OK.............

[Rambojohn31]

@SeriousCakes

Really impressive cake !

Could you tell me the numbers (or names) of the nozzles you're using for the red flowers and the last pipping for the base of the cake ?

[SeriousCakes]

@Rambojohn31 They're listed in the subtitles of the video :)

[Rambojohn31]

@SeriousCakes lol, sorry. I'm not english and thought it was tip > advice. I didn't make the point. Make more sense now ! ;)

[SeriousCakes]

@Rambojohn31 lol, oh! Glad it makes sense now :D

[PtOrangEstudios]

thats just so awsome

[lavina9030]

WOW! It's my mom's birthday in a week, and I absolutely LOVED ur cake design!!

[Sakuyathewolf]

:) I'm taking a culinary arts class at school because I want to become a cake designer and your video helps. It's a lot clearer than most other videos I've seen.

[HinAhmed]

gorges..:D

[sxybuttrfly]

wow! thanx for the tutorial on the strings..wish me luck

[LylScorpio96]

You are AMAZING!!!!!!

[Caribeanqueen79]

Awesome!

[Emygurl10]

Lovin' the Peter Pan music!

[Emygurl10]

Lovin' hte Peter Pan music!

[florencelovme]

how much does this cake cost?

[SeriousCakes]

@florencelovme You mean how much would I charge? About $35

[florencelovme]

@SeriousCakes aren't you a professional? do you mean that you're doing it as a hobby? in that case, wow! It's because you have so much equipment that I thought that you had a cake decoration company.

well done!

[SeriousCakes]

@florencelovme lol-I'll take that as a compliment, earlier this week I was told my pillowcase inspired cake looked like crap and a professional would do much better! I wanted to have a business when I first started but there's WAY too much stress, hobby caking keeps it fun and I don't HAVE to take any orders if I don't have the time or energy.

[florencelovme]

@SeriousCakes I know what you mean. It can be a very demanding job if you dont have a team to support you. well you have mastered it so well that you could be considered a qualified prof. I'm a fan.

[abqbabe]

@SeriousCakes It's worth way more than $35!

[10lilkitty]

wow i love the flowers!!!:)

[arentarent]

you make it look sooooo easy...!

[kimkingsmith]

Beautiful!

[MISSHERMAN2007]

[MissAlllyyy]

Wow Veryy Nicee :)

[wackyweed57]

if i make a cake like two days ahead of time and put it in the fridge how can i keep it from sweating? i hate it when they sweat and is there a way to put fruit on top without the same problem?

[SeriousCakes]

You can't keep it from sweating, anything will sweat going from cold to warm. If your frosting is safe to keep at room temp (like mine), then just leave the cake out-unless you are using a perishable filling. I keep everything at room temp, the cooled cake (wrapped in plastic wrap until I'm ready to frost), the decorated cake, etc.

[SeriousCakes]

Leftover frosting will go in the fridge or freezer. As for fruit, if you won't be eating the cake right away you can't stop it from sweating. There may be ways of fixing that but I haven't read about them. Try cakecentral, someone there may know :D

[moonlady3000]

I can't do drop strings, I have a terrible problem with pressure consistency. So I break like... every other string xD

[SeriousCakes]

I have had cakes like that, if I did it every day maybe I could get it right every time :D

[MooiVrouwNL]

hi seriouscake, i made a birthday cake for my friend, i made that strings and it turned so nice..thanks for this video! greetings from amsterdam

[SeriousCakes]

Awesome!!

[MooiVrouwNL]

hi seriouscake, what if i will make my icing today and i will use the next day, and i put it in the fridge the whole night, is it not affecting the icing when im going to spread it in the cake? is it not difficult to dry it before i make a decoration on it? thanks from amsterdam
