A two-for-one video! First part shows a cake I made for my mom, how I stacked the cake. I was aggravated at how the middle tier turned out, that is not a bulge around the middle of the cake, that's from the first line I piped down, my hand shook and caused the line to not be straight. I thought I could fix it as I went but it never did even out. If this had been for a paying customer I would have gone back and fixed it but I know my mom loves me and doesn't mind :)
Second part was interesting, I had forgotten to double check my order sheet that said 'basket of flowers', I thought it had just said basketweave. So, the day she was coming to pick-up the cake I had to quick take my frosting out of the fridge and re-pipe (fortunately I still had it!!).
Hope you enjoy, for those wondering about the music:
1. Bustin' Surfboards from 'Pulp Fiction'
2. Loss of Me from 'Final Fantasy'
3. Soul Bossa Nova from 'Austin Powers'
4. Benny and Joon from 'Benny and Joon'

can we use straw in every tier?

[SeriousCakes]

@trishmiz I don't like to use them for the bottom tiers because of the weight. Unless you get thicker straws, like the kind you might find at a McDonald's.

How do you create the marbled frosting, without it mixing?

[SeriousCakes]

@alc1602 Do you mean 2 colors in one bag? Click on my name, it will take you to the rest of my videos, I show how two different ways to get that, in the 'Pharmacy Cake' video and 'Spirograph Cuppies'.
