Make piped roses/ Steve & Beth's Cake

[djcssp]

@hotdog1997 This is Pastry Pride non dairy whipped topping- I got it at Smart & Final Stores in the freezer section. It comes in a milk carton type container. You pour it in the mixer after it thaws out and whip it on medium speed.

[Emilyphx602]

You should make more cake tutorials you are really good.can you just use this pastry pride frosting to frost the cake and a different frosting to decorate would do you think?

[djcssp]

@Emilyphx602 You can use different frostings to ice and decorate if you want. Thank you for the wonderful compliment. I am working on more tutorials and will post them soon. Thanks for watching!

[DIYcakes]

djcssp, Thanks for your video. It is very useful. I have a question about using Pastry Pride. I live in Arizona and the room temperture is 80 c. The piped rose I made is not stiff enough to hold. Is the room temperture too high to whip Pastry Pride? What is the best temperature to pipe roses?

[djcssp]

@DIYcakes The room temp matters a little. The Pastry Pride should be cold when you whip it. If it is left out too long and gets too warm after it it whipped before you ice or pipe with it, it will get short and have lots of little bubbles in it and the piping will break. If you are using butter cream it will be too soft and you would have the problem you described. If you can't use it all within 20 minutes or so, keep half of it in the fridge until you use up the part you have out.

[djcssp]

@DIYcakes If your buttercream is too soft at the temperature you are trying to work in, there are a couple things you can try. 1. Make it ahead of time and then refrigerate it. When you are ready to use it, put it back into the mixer and beat it with the paddle attachment until it is smooth but not starting to melt. Some times a few teaspoons of water will help it along and smoothe it out.

[djcssp]

@DIYcakes The other thing you can try is to add sifted powdered sugar to the butter cream if it is too soft. Add a little at a time in the mixer to stiffen it up. Most bakeries are warm in the work area and working quickly and getting the cake into the fridge when it is finished is sometimes the only option. If you are having this issue with Pastry Pride, then you need to whip it a little longer before you start piping. Hope this helps.

[djcssp]

Not really, I have a job that I like. Thanks so much for your questions! I am building a website about cake decorating that will go live soon. I will let you know when it is open.

[econtreras0808]

what kind of frosting is this?

[djcssp]

@econtreras0808 It is a non dairy whipped topping called Pastry Pride. It comes frozen in a cardboard milk container. You thaw it out and whip it in your own mixer. Other brands that are similar are Better Creme and Frostin' Pride Pride., It is available at restaurant supply stores that sell foods, in the freezer aisle.

[longlivetheking58]

Thanks for this tutorial! Question--I can't get my fingers to turn the nail completely around in one turn. Suggestions?

[djcssp]

@longlivetheking58 Try practicing spinning the nail without the piping part first. Use the entire length of your fore finger against the pad of your thumb.

[longlivetheking58]

@djcssp Okay, did that. The "rose" is still hilarious. The buttercream is either too soft and melts into a blob, or so stiff that the bag breaks. This is driving me nuts.

[djcssp]

@longlivetheking58 try leaving your butter cream out on the counter to come to room temperature first. Then beat it in the mixer until it is smooth and fluffy. Don't let it get too warm.

[longlivetheking58]

@djcssp Sorry it took so long to reply back. Thanks for the good advice, now I don't feel like I'm all left thumbs when I use the nail!

I also tried your suggestion regarding the icing, but I STILL can't get the hang of it, like how it's supposed to peak, etc. I never knew buttercream could be so complicated. :)

[djcssp]

@longlivetheking58 Are you making the buttercream yourself or buying it pre-made?

[longlivetheking58]

@djcssp I've been making it.

[djcssp]

@longlivetheking58 What recipe are you using?

[longlivetheking58]

@djcssp I'm using the Wilton buttercream recipe, and the Wilton royal icing recipe. Both of them melt before I finish the rose.

[djcssp]

@longlivetheking58 Try using 1 cup of unsalted butter + 1 cup of crisco shortening with between 1/2 to 1 full box of powdered sugar. Butter and shortening should be at room temp. Add the sugar a little at a time until it is all mixed in. add a tsp of Vanilla and beat on medium speed for a couple minutes until it is fluffy. You should be able to spread it easily with a spatula. if it's not sweet enough add more powdered sugar but it could get stiff. 

[longlivetheking58]

@djcssp I don't think I ever thanked you for this recipe, apologies. This may be the first time I've seen it. I'm having a hard time getting the rose petals not to tear at the top, they always look ragged. Any ideas?

[djcssp]

@longlivetheking58 I sounds like the icing is too dry or has too many air bubbles in it. Maybe you need to sift the powdered sugar before you measure it. Or use less powdered sugar. Perhaps you could add a small bit of water to the icing and cream it with a paddle before you put it into the pastry bag. I always had a problem with ragged edges if the icing was too thick or too dry if it was butter cream or too warm if it was whipped topping. Just most important is that the icing is creamy.

[longlivetheking58]

@djcssp Thanks again!! It makes sense that dryness and/or air bubbles would do that. Ever thought about teaching the Wilton courses?

[yanni5473]

hi, really good job, did you use a buttercream? or  frosting. can you send me the recipe? if yoy have it. thanks

[djcssp]

@yanni5473 I used a non dairy whipped topping called pastry pride. You can buy it in the freezer section of Smart and Final Stores or in a restaurant supply store. All you do is thaw it out and whip it on medium speed like whipped cream. It is already sweetened.

[Dylan32Woods]

what does the cake say?

[djcssp]

@Dylan32Woods It says "We'llo Miss You Guys" it was for a going away party.

[econtreras0808]

After decorating the cake with pastry pride whipped topping is it ok to put it in the fridge overnight or will it melt?? I'm doing a birthday party for month of December and they want whipped topping. Please let me know asap thx... Also after whipping do i keep in fridge for awhile or start decorating as soon as done.

[djcssp]

@econtreras0808 This icing can last in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. If you do not refrgerate it the maximum should be one day.

[dye909]

ok i been looking for pastry pride like all over and i was woundering if u knew a store that was close to louisiana that i could purchase this product from because i would love to try it

[djcssp]

@dye909

they have it on the Costco website

or you can find a restaurant or bakery supply store near your home that sells foods to restaurants. They may have it or a similar product named Frostin Pride or Bettercreme.

[Cakez559]

Never Heard Of Pastry Pride Where Do You Get It?

[djcssp]

@Cakez559 I get it at Smart & Final Stores- Any restaurant supply store that sells food could have it

[cakestudent95]

it looked SO much better before you put on the color

[djcssp]

@cakestudent95 Some people like the spray color and some people don't.

[himenohimitsudesu]

0:48 squese icing bag- "blitoujgtk" :D

[Nathal2009]

did you cover the cake with Pastry Pride or with wilton butter cream? Is the Pastry Pride test yeamy or more sugary like the buttercream? Am taking class its called wilton class they use either royal icing or butter cream icing, but i dont like it becasue its test like suger. I asked the instractor i told her that when i buy cake from shop its too creamy and test this one the one we making at the class its test like yeak its only his nice looking the butter cream but it doesnt test yumy?

[djcssp]

The pastry pride is not sugary like buttercream. It is like whipped cream. It's delicious.

[picantesworld77]

@djcssp I liked your work. Looks really good. :) It's funny, I was going to look for the recipe for the whipped cream icing that they use in the bakeries. I clicked on this vid. My questions were answered.

[djcssp]

I covered it with pastry pride. If I was going to use butter cream I would make it myself, as I don't like to add as much sugar as the store bought buttercreams. Pastry pride is a non dairy whipped topping and it tastes good.

[micram2008]

Do you need to do anything to this whip cream to stabilize it or sweeten?can you just use it to decorate right after you whip it to the right consistency?

[djcssp]

The Pastry Pride is ready to use. You do not have to add sweetener or stabilize it. Just whip it and use it.

[micram2008]

Hi,your cake is beautiful.Can pastry pride be used for any cake like wedding cakes?

do you have to have it refrigerated at all times?

[djcssp]

You should keep it refrigerated until you whip it up and Ice the cake. You can let the cake set out up to 24 hours if you need to but not if it's over 80 degrees in the place you set it. You can use it for wedding cakes. I always prefer to keep it refrigerated and the cake refrigerated as well. If it's too hot outside the icing can become droopy, foamy and hard to work with.

[micram2008]

sorry one more question.can you use the wilton gel coloring to color this icing

Thanks.

[djcssp]

Yes, I use the wilton paste colors. They come in small one inch tall tubs with plastic screw off caps.

[independent740]

how did you make the icing?

[djcssp]

It's called Pastry Pride. Its a non dairy whipped topping that comes in quarts and gallons. See my reply to RubenLeon01 below. You put it in a mixer on medium speed with the whip attachment and whip it to desired consistency.

[RubenLeon01]

Where can i get pastry pride near tampa Fl

[djcssp]

I get mine at Smart & Final it's a grocery warehouse that dosen't require membership. They also carry a similar product called Bettercreme which is really good.

Smart & Final near you-

[sealbee]

This is so great!! I have am trying to learn to do roses and yours is the best demo out here.

[djcssp]

Thank you. I wanted to make it look the way it really happens.

[lockmd1034]

Hi, I know you have 12 years under your belt you say. I am trying out the pastry pride because it is soo much better. I tried to do roses yesterday and yikes. The first batch I used to frost the cake and when I did the roses it seems hard and the cream was breaking. The 2nd time it was too soft and was falling down. I beat it for 7 min on setting 4 on the kitchen aid. Any suggestions?

[djcssp]

Just beat it on setting 4 and stay by it. Check it when you start to see soft lines in the cream as it whips. Unhook the whip from the mixer and dip it into the cream and pull it up. Turn it right side up and see if the peak holds it shape or if it slumps down. If it is too soft it will slump down and relax. Just put the whip back on the mixer and whip it a little longer. If the mixture looks dry and bubbly you whipped it too long.

[angeleyes3250]

where do u get the color spray and whats it called?

[kikiseven06]

did you take classes to learn how to do these :)

[djcssp]

No, I learned from another person I worked with, but I practiced alot.

[WhopDeDo]

Wow thats pretty! It looks fun. ow long does it take to make a cake like that?

[ladyomnivore]

Woah, that's EXPLOSIVE! was it for someone's birthday? i bet their eyes popped out of their head when they saw it!

[djcssp]

It was for their going away party, They watched me make it at the party we had for them at my house. The kids were especially excited.

[SeeYouInMyNitemares]

Where do you get the Bettercreme?

[djcssp]

Smart & Final stores, try a restaurant supply if you don't have those. There is another brand called Pastry Pride which is the same thing. Same places to buy them.

[SeeYouInMyNitemares]

What kind of icing are you using? Looks delisious!!

[djcssp]

It is called Bettercreme. It is a non dairy whipped topping that comes as a liquid and you whip it in the mixer yourself.

[djcssp]

I don't know.

[maijudyvang]

where can i buy those color airbrush thing?? sorry i don't know what's its called.

[djcssp]

It's called Wilton brand Color Mist spray.

[djcssp]

You can get them at Michael's Craft store or perhaps walmart in the cake decorating section.

[Sogetha]

Omg!! Your so FAST!!! And i LOVED how you decorated the cake!! I hope i can become as good as you one day..

[djcssp]

Thank you. The more you make the easier it is.

[Sogetha]

Oh! I have a question. Is the consistency of the cream for making roses thicker than that for the cake?

[djcssp]

No, it is the same consistency. Stiff peaks but still creamy, not dry.

[Sogetha]

Oh, okay. Thank you very much!

[sarahmaria2005]

How long did it take you to "master" the rose making technique? I want to learn. Do you by any chance have a good whip cream frosting receipe? Do you have any other videos with frosting decorating?

[djcssp]

If you want to make real whipped cream frosting, take some heavy whipping cream, also called heavy cream, and put it in a cold mixing bowl. Add enough powdered sugar while mixing to make it sweet, but not too sweet, and 1 tsp of vanilla extract. Continue whipping at medium speed for a couple minutes. Increase the speed of the mixer to high speed and stop to test the peaks it makes when you start seeing the trails from the beaters or whip in the cream. Don't whip until it turns into butter.

[djcssp]

I don't remember how long it took but it depends on how much you practice and how good you are with your hands. Check out more from djcssp at the right side of the video here. I have Sara's birthday cake, Trish's 50th birthday cake and Eric's 50th birthday cake. I worked in bakeries for about 12 years so I had to make everything fast. It is the same way to make butter cream frosting roses too. Just make sure the frosting you use is creamy, but not too soft, and fluffy but not too stiff.

[Smoochez722]

cake seems to be very nice but the video was a tad bit fuzzy and made it difficult to see. I was able to see that you have alot of talent and are very skillful in what you do! Having alot of color really seems to make the cake really POP!

[PinkBallerina25]

This cake has to much color it looks crazy. Is that whip cream or cool whip?

[djcssp]

It is non dairy whipped topping used by professional bakers, called Pastry Pride. You have to mix it up in a mixer, as it comes as a liquid. It was supposed to look crazy.

[beansister]

This is GREAT!!!. 15 Wilton classes did not teach me what this did in the first minute. I needed to brush up on roses because I'm going for a hands on job interview next week. If I get the job it's because of this. I was thinking of skipping the interview because I thought I'd never get roses. Now, because of this video, I'll go. If I don't get this job I'll keep trying. I can do roses because of YOU!

[djcssp]

Hey that's awesome. Practice makes perfect. When I started out I used plain old crisco shortening so I wouldn't have to waste real frosting. I would just scrape it off the cookie sheet with a plastic bowl scraper and put it back in the container and start all over again. You go girl! and good luck!

[juliamine]

Very nice cake! Links to the stills of the cake would make it all the better as the video is just a tad fuzzy and really hard to see any details.

[punk1023hi1]

omg! i love it iam 13 and learned how to pipe roses i think its a talent everyone should learn to do

[djcssp]

Thanks, It does come in handy all the time.

[honeyzway]

its a nice cake but it would of looked nicer with less color. its too colourful and TOO creaamy! but well done anyway

[djcssp]

I made it colorful on purpose because of the people I made it for.

[kingschild63]

That is totally cool! Thanks for the video, I was trying to find 'good' instructions on how to make a rose and you've definately helped..hopefully my daughter's birthday cake will look half as nice.I've never seen spray food colouring before, now I have to check out our Michaels here in Canada and see if they have it :)

[djcssp]

Thank you, This works well with whipped cream, and buttercream icings. You can also spray the roses while they are still on the rose nail if you don't want to spray the cake.

[Curious0711]

Hi, your cake is beautiful. Where did you buy the spray food coloring?

[djcssp]

I got it at Michael's Craft store. It is called Color Mist, by Wilton. Wilton makes a whole line of cake decorating supplies. If you don't have a Michaels you can find a dealer near you on the Wilton website.

[giganto494]

The cake is beautiful, the video made me dizzy, because the video kept moving.

cathey,Arkansas

[djcssp]

Sorry Cathy,

We were having a party at the time and my friend was doing me a favor to hold the camera for me.

[sh97]

WOW! Lots of COLOR! What a fun cake!

[scottsbaby3569]

Maybe you should invest in some icing colors...and you used to work at a bakery....OMG !!!!

[djcssp]

I have icing colors. I did this to get the blending.

[rabbitsrock07]

That looks awesome! I wish I could decorate that elaborately. Keep up the good work. ^-^

[djcssp]

Thank You

[scottsbaby3569]

maybe you need to see a real cake...without all that spray !!!

[djcssp]

Thanks,

I like lots of colors and the way you can blend them.

[TammysCakes]

this cake looks beautiful, i love the way you spray your frosting instead of colouring it, very unique!
