  • Thanks for this great video! Where did you buy your turn table?

  • @Topaz5866 We sell them at Sweet Wise. Click on our name, SweetWiseInc to go to our channel and to subscribe while you're there), and there are shopping links at the top of the page. Thanks for watching!

  • I am having trouble doing the crumb coat because my cakes are VERY VERY VERY crumbly and tend to have LOTS and LOTS of crumbs, any tips on how to bake a cake so its not so crumbly would be greatly appreciated.

  • @jameelahafiz200 I think I do need to make a baking video. I picture it as a little boring, though, because it's a lot of talking, not too much doing. Maybe I'll blog in the meantime! Butter can be drying to a cake - substitute some or all with oil, some of it being Olive Oil. You can also add mayonnaise (1/4 cup) or an egg yolk or 2. Also make sure your sugar ratio is about 1 1/3 cup sugar for every 1 1/2 cup of flour. DON'T over bake, and don't over mix!!! Just some basics; more later!

  • @SweetWiseInc and sorry for taking so long to respond; got behind!!!

  • can you use store bought buttercream frosting?

  • @ConcreteRoseKei Sure you can use store bought buttercream but it can tend to be a little soft leading to a droopy looking cake. The CK brand is a nice sturdy American Buttercream. If you really want to wow your guests/clients, try the Swiss Meringue Buttercream recipe on our Bulliten Board on our website.

  • i am having a real problem with putting the cake in the fridge after the crumb coating which i have to do as i want to put the fondant on.

    any recipes that wont harden the cake after refrigeration? i have very little time i am suppose to be making a doll cake in one week

  • @mssweetlouise You don't need to freeze the cake, but you can if you like. I usually pop it in the refrigerator for a short time just to firm up a bit.

  • do i freeze the cake after the crumb coat?
