Hello Mayen! I have signed up with YouTube and created a channel (not so easy to figure out, but I managed it, haha!). You and your cool cakes, have inspired me to make cakes! I see that you answer questions. So many people on here don't. I look forward to learning from you:)
So, for that top tier- could a wedge shaped slice be taken off of the bottom, to make it set level? I don't know, maybe that's dumb.
Katie- I have thought of many possible ways to get it straight but once these are stacked, it's really hard to remedy the situation. especially if we are to slice from the bottom-- it would be more possible if I used styrofoam ( dummy cake ) and we could slice all we want... ) but since it's cake, once we set the balance off the whole thing can collapse as we are slicing it at the bottom . thanks a lot !
hahahahahaha.... now i get what you mean ! It really didnt look like id have a problem with it until it was all stacked and i looked at it sideways ... then i could not undo it ... but your idea does work before the cakes are covered and stacked. tnx!
I love all your work and whoever is sending you nasty emails doesn't have a life or anyone who loves them (obviously or they wouldn't be doing it). Keep up all the great, fantastic, awesome cakes that you have been making and forget about the losers out there and focus on the positive feedback.
PS. Will you be coming out with any tutorials in the near future? I would love it if you did (and as I'm sure many would :-) )
As always, the details are amazing. Even the smallest detail seems perfect. I also love how you incorporated adding some gumpaste figure for the candle to sit on.
Don't mind those emails. You have inspired me aas well as other people to make cakes. Without you, our passion in cake decorating would be hidden forever. Please never give up. We are all here for you.
I'm always impressed by how much work and attention to detail you put into your cakes. And I love how you incorporate the candle into your cakes - ingenious!!
Thanks :) wow, i am in awe of moms --esp those who have more than one kid... i only have one and i'm semi crazy as it is... well, we were four siblings and i still dont know how my mom did it :)
Ate Mayen, You rock!!! super talented! thanks for sharing your talent with us! I started enjoying decorating cakes now too, I'm in New Zealand and I'm grateful to get a chance to develop and improve it here! Keep up the great work! God bless you always! Happy Easter to you and your Family!
Hi Mayen! Its such a great relief to see a new post from you. Akala ko nadiscourage ka na... whew! You've been busy girl! hahaha This is such an amazing piece! I'm very excited to see your son's cake! Swerte niya grabe! :-)
Mayen your cakes are the best & im glad your staying positive and not letting those ignorant people get to you. You have so many supporters here on you tube and so many people that look forward to your next "piece of art" . Stay positive and keep up your amazing work. You inspire us all and you don't come across too many people in a lifetime like you. You are very generous to share your work with us and offer advice & tips to help other people become better. Keep up the good work!
maraming salamat :) although i do love making cakes ... what i love more is meeting great people and making new friends... salamat sa pagtiwala ( feeling kandidato haha ) ...
You just have to block and delete... your cakes are beautiful. The naysayers are probably snotty-nosed teenagers who think they have something valuable to contribute... NOT!
I love love love all your cakes! - Not only just your cakes but they way you are always so gracious & willing to share! You are truly a star with your cakes & personality here on youtube (& I'm sure in your everyday life too!). All us newbies in cake decorating know you for this & love you for inspiring us. Keep inspiring us & forget the small few who are nasty. Take care ; ) Andrea
Awesome girl! Even though you showed me the pictures, it looks even nicer on video! LOVE IT! You know what I think Mayen about people that spew nothing but negative crap out of their mouth! You know, I know, and all your friends here on YouTube know how extremely talented you are and how blessed we are to have you in our lives! You're an inspiration to all of us and we love you! You're awsome girl! Great cake and can't wait to see your princess cake up on YouTube! Love ya! Tu amiga, Laura
hi! i see t hat you answer the questions! i have a question! are the figures that you do of the fondant, and the covering of the cake itself TASTY?? and how do you do such vibrant colors?
Mayen, I am so sorry 2hear u got nasty comments & e-mails. People can be so jealous &hateful &obnoxious. You are amazing& talented& tenacious& creative.... I could go on for days; the most important thing is that YOU know how amazing you are, and BOO on all the nay-sayers. They are just a buzzing in your ears. Do not doubt in the dark what you know to be true in the light! You are incredible! You KNOW this!
I like how the cake tilts even from the side, It looks like a mountain. Great job, i always enjoy watching your videos, i'm working up the courage to try and make a cake of my own.
hey forget about all that lossers that bothering you, youre amazing and youre an inspiration for people that follow you ... so keep still standing and proud about your job... ever are wonderful and have a lot of nice people that love it. : )
thank you for the kind words... it doesn't bother me much now because I have you guys here that prove that I am not doing anything wrong. when someone says -" i think i can also do that"- i NEVER feel bad-- i feel the opposite and I am happy because someone else gets encouraged to try. if that's the only good thing I can pass on- i am more than happy.
I have been waiting and looking forward to see a new video from you Mayen =] Your amazing and your cakes are your reflection! Please dont ever be discouraged because many of us depend on your inspirations. Thanks you so much !
Thanks :) you guys inspire me back a hundred fold :) I will gladly pass on what others had so unselfishly shared to me ... its my only way to thank them. Now my life is blessed by having friends here on youtube :)
thats awesome. You really should open up a bakery.
Can you share your cake recipe with us please. I see there are a few out there. Also, do you refrigerate the cake before putting the butter cream on or after? I want to make a cake for Easter but I'm a little overwhelmed with all the information I'm reading.
i wish i could do that one day :) for the recipes-- i go with the classic ones, what do you need? ( chocolate, marble swirl, mocha, yellow) i can send it to you
here's the simplified steps- bake, level the cake, put the filling, put the crumb coat, refirgerate til the icing crusts or does not stick to your fingers-- then put the second layer of icing, refrigerate til it crusts again-- then cover with fondant :) crusting will take about an hour
oh, mayen, you are soooo talented! you are my new private instructor, by the way! i am opening my own cake business soon, and you have been the greatest help to me in getting my confidence up to do it! thanks so much for doing all that you do.
THANK YOU :) several people have told me that they too have moved up and made it a business and I could not be happier !!! It is such an exciting feeling to be told that I was part of it --even if it is truly a minute part-- i think that we are all in this 'journey' together..and we enrich each others' lives . People like you bless my life in more ways than you guys know. :)
wow! you have a kid?!? i don't even have kids yet and i'm like so tired after baking/decorating. ESP FONDANT!!! you're a super woman, lol

hehe! Silly:) I meant to slice the "wedge" off of the bottom, before you crumb coat or do anything else with the top cake:) lol
You are fun! :D
Sorry, I should have been more clear about "when" to slice that puppy! lol
