Decorative Frosting Borders

[ChristineBells]

that looks ugly, i dont know how hard it is but practice more before posting a video

[sarvarigyulane]

Nagyon jól látni, hogy is diszítsük a tortát...jó tipp, karácsonyra!Köszike...

[swarso1]

First the frosting on the cake is not smoothed out. The buttercream needs to have some powdered sugar mixed in. If she fixed the frosting I bet it would look very good.

[JosephMusicOfficial]

Decorating cakes takes practice? Well she definitely hasn't done that...

[maevelovesalex]

all of their videos SUCK. 

[SakuraNitez]

When i clicked on this video i was like "How can this get so many dislikes?!"

And now i know.

[ando1135]

i would have expected a lot more from epicurious but this was the worst looking decoration i have ever seen.

[Minted19]

2:00 the most ugly cake -______-

[TheUkeLover]

it looked better without the frosting... now it looks creepy

[ManaMausi]

sry but....fail decoration....fail frosting....fail cake....

[dannygmzz]

Frosting? Fuck it, I'm eating straight from the bowl...

[swarso1]

It looks like this lady needs to go back and learn how to do this. That cake is ugly!

[deidarafan0237]

it took me an hour to find this video..

i only wanted to read and laugh at the comments xD

[ericaacutie]

it looks like a brown sun!!!

[Candyeyebeautishine1]

it looks a=mad gud. :D

[phoebecutie143]

the icing is too soft -_-

[CutiePie4325]

I love how she's talking about how important the consistency is, but her frosting is too thin.

[Mazza4Azza]

Why do you people think it's bad? I think it's okay!

[Reniko]

lmfao this look sso bad

[singergurl10o0]

bloody hell

[girlytomzzboii]

[mtstate1]

[MsLisaFull]

[RaggzyCJ]

I would never eat that..

[LizzyMcQuier]

[anneke06]

I still think this cake looks fine, I wanna eat it.

[bunnygirlrosa]

[ciaram535]

Plain and simple, It looks like shit. literally...

[157lover]

[kransatija]

[Dranavarro]

Jersey cake?

[arab1211]

press 1 and 9 back and forth to see the "great difference" XD

[kuubbrraaxo]

spikey:L 

[jumanji321]

The big issue is the icing consistency. It looks a little too thin.

[pumky21]

shes pulling up real slightly rite? lol the cake looks like the stupidest CHOCOLATE CROWN i've seen haha

[jmq365]

It looks like one of those visors with the hair.. Terrible.

[xXAlphaGazelleXx]

Epi-Fail?

[lopezandrew68]

the cake was wack

[PlatypusGuitar]

its devils food!!!!

[okamifox13]

I only have a small star tip.... :(

[TheGleek1116]

Your voice sounds robotic. But u were good!

[aaliyahmishelle]

i think she did a good job. i would love to see you fuckers do a better job.. which i highly doubt you will. since your to busy criticizing how shes doing an not making your own decorating videos.. 

[Boredso99]

it says easy way guysssss

[jantje601]

clearly... you don't have to much experience with decorating

[GABORIHIME]

i think it`s horrible :S

[chocoholictania]

looks like a chocolate sun flower to me... 1:58 lolz

[LGchesnut1]

@SuperPinky67 if you want to make this cake they will hate you.

[LGchesnut1]

Your awful.....

[IStayHood]

I must admit, even MY first cake looked better than that one did. The frosting was way too loose (in my opinion) and should have been stiff enough to hold the star shape better. She went about piping the stars on so fast that she didn't even bother to make sure that they were straight/uniform.

I don't mean to sound like a cake snob or something but c'mon Epicurious.. that video was awful. Next time, you may not wanna let Speedy Gonzales teach us how to decorate cakes. =\

[christalbabyboo00]

difference?......yes now its uglieer ! haha

[greenio52]

wow......That was super bad!

[2Girls1DomoCup]

the cake looked better before the frosting.

[andyandlou]

i saw the difference............. it was not good

this video was crap it wasn't even informative

[HOWELLBY]

I AGREE!!! WHAT WAS THAT???? THAT WAS HORRRRIBLE!!!

[todi4navarro]

oh my goodness! That was terrible. Very sloppy, uneven and unattractive. That star tip was way too big for that cake!

[RJK98]

that aint chocolate thats poop

[chocolatebars178]

the tips arent bad but u gotta make the cake better i mean come on.....

[daquach91]

"look at what a difference the decorative border makes."

yeah, it made it look uglier.

[10lilkitty]

u either need to smooth than out ALOT or use fondant

[astropiggy108]

That, uh...that cake is not especially beautiful. Then again, it looks tasty and chocalicious!

[UkPR0]

fucking hell, that looks shit

[mgblue]

@UkPR0 lol i just nearly choked when i read that <3

[kesharoxs]

I think I just threw up ...

[SuperGinny33]

The cake was not the best! However, you all watched it! so I guess it was good enough to get you to look at the whole video!!!

[SuperGinny33]

The cake was not the best! However, you all watched it! so I guess it was good enough to get you to look at the whole video!!!

[moo97moooo]

wow thats horrible

[elgeeno]

i agree the cake doesnt look crash hot but its just the basic tips to frost a cake, not to make a fucking awumo-cake-for-your-sisters-we­dding type thing.

[hijabi102]

tht tip is wayyyyy to big...

[SuperPinky67]

WHAT ARE THE INGREDIANTS i think this is really good for kids and my kids (: thanks so much for the vid! god bless

[Megablue619]

What were you trying to do? Make a chocolate wig?

[mackdaddy301]

Horrible work, and way to be lazy and add to the rubbish in the world, by using disposable bags....typical lazy americans.

[check34r]

That cake is ulgy btw

[momomosho1]

numa asii se peiina mii hermanO

[twielieng92]

the frosting is just too wet.

[NothingGirl101]

@twielieng92 I think it looks fine, although I prefer to whip mine. I don't like it stiff and crunchy.

[cvigurifam]

I agree... it looks awful!!

[nicoleandbrianne18]

you really shouldnt have done this, it sucks, it looks like a 2year old made it.it looks like a cat scratched the icing on

[hadasenlacocina]

ese betun tiene grumos... debería estar mas terzo!! ;)

[lene2die4]

Thats a horrible nozzle to use for the decoration, though you get what they mean kinda, And the cream is too loose to if you ask me

[10lilkitty]

whould b better if the border was a different color

[cmonneah]

looks like the mouth of that worm from star wars

[rainbowgirl76]

WELL I THINK IT LOOKED GREAT SEEING AS SHE DIDN'T PRACTICE THAT MUCH! :>(

[mayitolove1]

i'm a beginner and let me tell you i do this better than you

[DriftedDreamingSoul]

Terrible job. It's evident that your frosting is way too soft. Those stars aren't coordinating with the cake, and they are too large making the cake look like a troll's head. You didn't smooth your icing out so now the 2nd layer of icing looks uneven and mountainous. Practice more.

[Derahpehs0Acire]

looks like a spiky death trap

[projektbrot]

the frosting was way too soft. sry...badly done :/

[wouternouwens]

I guess U need some practice from a pro! I'm sure I can teach U a lot! ;-)

[bbrofl]

a bit too spiky

[cutie02150]

oh that cake looks so nice NOT.

[hookertrash]

lol FAIL thats was horrible.

[sun2mooon]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

[myprnceznastasiya]

When you work with cakes.. make sure its ice cold in the room.. cuz your icing is metaling down.. and then it looks horable!! try again next time with a better cake and icing!!

[inseparablexMa]

eww that looks gross hahaha

[juicybabeduh]

ewwl

[kikiscustomcakes]

i think maybe her icing is melting or too thin? ..not sure lol

check out my cakes :)

[HeartTheEternal]

cake failed!

[itscoinstarbitchezz]

what the hell.....?

[tracylv68]

Take it none of your parents taught you " IF you have nothing nice to say, say NOTHING at all?"

[amoredemi]

eu gostaria de saber a receitas mas em portugues

[ienjoyjello]

Why is she holding it so weird?

[victas2009]

the top borders look all messed up!!!

[NoxDefensor]

guys, seriously. This is a tutorial for BEGINNERS. As in people who have never piped icing before EVER. The cake looks weird because she used a larger tip than normal, so that you can see what she's doing!

[whjbf99]

that cake looks wierd...

[toti1o18]

WOW!!!!! you really suck! i am 14 years old and i can decorate cakes much better than you..... and i have 8 2hr classes of experience. you should go to school!!!!

[RavenLavender]

That is not a boarder, it is just a dot made with a star tip. I am in college for Baking & Pastry Production and Management, our head chef would never let us put something out that took no skill, like that.

[2kiki4u]

very horribly decorated

[jorgea139754]

@2kiki4u srry about putting the hand down i was going to put it for hand up but i pressed the wrong one but i think that cake is horribly decorated

[luv4unc53]

do you know how to make cakes or r u just trying to screw everyone over who use this method

[imanewblet]

I don't think that looked professional at all.

[TheSurvivorTeen]

that sucks

[kaydark05]

You guys are very fun poopooland4me and pnklmonade127, your comments made me laugh, LOL!!!

[pnklmonade127]

poopooland4me, you should know its poo poo

[franchell20]

This cake is horribly done.

[claychick]

@franchell20 yeah but i bet it tastes lush

[Caroline37831]

Hey, i was wondering what frosting your using? how is it made?

[ilovmyselflol]

To make chocolate icing just simply buy it or u can get chocolate icing sugar and mix it with butter and a tiny bit of milk it taste real good make sure u use more icing sugar than butter and just keep adding till u get the right consistency i hope this helps.

[chalone2]

I wonder why a site like Epicurious would put up a video like this one..surely they could do better!

[MistressOfSin666]

Fail

[deidarafan0237]

its not really that "elegant" but w.e lol that cake looks kinda... nvm -_-

[thefinewino]

I'm not saying I wouldn't eat it, but that's a little wonky.

[poopooland4me]

WHOA. What was that green thing at 1:52?

[ClubPenguinChurchInc]

Now She Took Her Time Only She Put The Borders A Bit Too Back If Its Suppose To Be In The Edge Then She Was Mostly Didnt Know What She Was Doing That Much No Offense

But It Was Good

[MKroX2202]

i dont care how it looks, I just want me a slice of that cake!

[jacobmusprime]

I agree it looks like crap. lol

[raingiver]

They look like melted chocolate morsels.

[MizzCuppcakez4Eva]

its un even !!!

[n8smom96]

I'm sorry that looks terrible. First, if she had the right consistency then it wouldn't be so soft and look like it's going to fall off the cake. Second, if she actually stopped squeezing before releasing the bag, the star would not have such a big tail on it.

[thebigcalm]

Gawd a bit wonky

[candykissesloo]

looks like shit

[sillyputty492]

Lmfao . the top border is falling lmfao .

i laughed at that . :)

[gabi131415]

meh... whatever i still would eat it

[MG777]

not exactly rocket science....no offence

[gingerbread4323]

I love this cake so much.

[SniffyFoieWood]

Is it me, or do all three frosting videos made by this woman look like crap?

[ishtt04]

was that suppose to look like troll hair????

[pogodrummer]

rofl...

[zakiboy100]

@ishtt04 looooooooool!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[florencelovme]

@ishtt04 HAHAHA!

[arab1211]

@ishtt04 LOL i totally agree!! XD

[greenevy]

wtf

[sweeteapopulazzi]

that cake looks like crap

[MizKiwii]

what a scary looking cake

[shadia45]

yum mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm­mmmmmmmm.................mmmmm­mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[MetalEmelie]

I didn't like the decorate but I love chocolate ^^,

[Thegirlnextdoor42]

I just wanna shove my face into that cake, It looks too good!

[nintendonerdgoodbad2]

At 1:29 the frosting looks like a dingleberry

[bennyandjoon2466]

i would recoment a smaller tip since the cake is smaller

[MyTeaCupCakes]

Wonky cake! But at least the tip was large enough to see what she was doing. Also, Some of the other videos I've seen shoot the hand in front of the bag and you can't see a thing!

[proppettu]

ma vergognati!!!!

[juzakido]

the only ugly cake tutorial i've seen here. too big 'stars shape'

[reiki2guy]

Can you say LOPSIDED? What[s up with such a crappy decorating job?

[sabinibubble]

i agree... its crap

[reiki2guy]

Oh yeah, that made QUITE a difference all right. My Border Collie could do a better job...blindfolded.

[AiRaByU]

doesnt look smooth ...maybe you should learn more techniques on how to create smooth icing....anyway it looks yummy...

[missloulou1231]

u are doin a good job

god bless

[caroncarol]

this lady should have frost the rosettes up right on the edge, why is she frosting by the edge?! making it look so weird, and the top rosettes doesnt look consistent and in line, from the side view.. looks like it went up a lil and down again

[MattDoesNotRock]

although the frosting wasn't done as good as it could be, like how they were coming off at different angles, i bet it still tastes amazing! and that's all i care about

[teensrox90]

that looks unapatizing

[banana0ketchup]

this is probably a student demo..had to do one in school before

[kieranRAWR]

that looks awfull

[Coley6676]

I so agree with you. The bottom of the cake looks ok but the top went wacky.

[dolcevitausa]

It does look pretty bad even to t his untrained eye... looks like the frosting softened up too much during the shoot

[Carolinver]

Although the frosting is probably too soft, the taste of the cake will be really good.

I guess, that's very important too, right!

[xXxMYLIFEISMUSICxXx]

wow! i agree with henbees FUGLY! my 1yr. old nephew could do better!

[KiNAKO04]

maybe next time, make the borders even. the top was a mess.  or maybe you're going for that...

[mamazilla]

Man that was bad. I think my 9 year old could do better than that.

[henbees]

erm yeah it made a difference...it made the cake fugly

[HelvenLouis91]

the should make the frosting a different colour !

[jax121467]

This think reminds me of the Heatmiser!!

The frosting is not the right consistency, it needs to be stiffer to better hold it's shape.

And when you do this type of decorating, you need to stop sqeezing the bag BEFORE you pull it away, that is why there are so ugly.

Even if this is just regular canned frosting, someone that knows what they're doing can do a MUCH better job than this.

[54spiritedwill54]

The frostings too soft but looks sooooo yummyyyy!!!!.

[friends34567]

damn it looks really good!!!

[blackpoolrok]

That video stole 2:13 minutes of my life - I'd suggest colder temperature for the frosting - maybe the lighting in the studio made it melt too much? That's why its runny and not equal size/shape.

Nice tip about the 'bag squishing' to the front though.

[ArtisticLana]

It doesnt look good to eat.

To much chocolate

[0123456acsgd]

stupid stupid video man

[supersoutherngirl]

the stars piped on the top border of the cake are way bigger than they are supposed to be.Useless video!

[onionmon]

that was pretty bad... o well

[anthonygeracesr]

this lady needs a little more practice her self that was a ugly cake she needs a little ashes bakery in her life.

[CRAAAAAZYGIRLY]

that frosting is too thin

[blooboy70]

This is for people who use box cakes and canned frosting. But I will tell you this, I would take a home-made/home-decorated cake made with love over some bakery cake any day. When I make a cake it has to be made with love or the cake is void. IMHO.
