- Today Rachel and I battle it out in who can make the best carnival themed cakes. The only stipulations are that they must be 12 inches in height, be edible with the exception of minimal inedible supports and of course--be carnival themed. FULL tutorials for each cake also included. Who will win this cake off--the home baker or the pro?

Really appreciate how generous you are about Rachel’s skills without diminishing yourself at all. Really great dynamic between you both.
Agree! It’s so refreshing to hear good things, rather than the cattiness that we are exposed to in other venues. Thank you for being positive and uplifting whilst still showing your competitiveness
👍❣
I never realized just how much money it costs the baker to make intricate cakes like this!
Love this challenge thing! Looking fwd to more videos like these.
Off topic: Rachel's hair! Gorgeous.
Yeah... Rachel's hair😍
Love this Cake Competition! Your friendship and respect for one another's talents shows and I love both your cakes. It was fun to see the different skill sets that went into each cake.
It was so cool how we came up with completely different takes! Thanks so much, Jennifer!
Although I forgot to vote, my first instinct was to love the clown. He was so cute and cheerful. HOWEVER, after seeing the intricate details and careful balancing between steam punk and carnival, I would definitely have voted for your creation. I think Rachel is an AWESOME decorator though! :)
I absolutely love how accurate the predictions were!! Really tells me the friendship between you guys. So cute lol. Both of the cakes were so good in their own medium. It’s so hard to pick! But I’m in love with the detail and steam punk grunge. So creative!!
Aw I know I’m so lucky to have her. Thank you 💕🥰
Great job ladies! You are both amazing cake decorators and friends. Congratulations Ashleigh!
Love your content. This was great to watch. Good job on both cakes!
Thank you so much for sharing the process. Well done both of you❤
You both are so inspiring !!!!
Great job!!!! I love both cakes!. I'm really enjoying your channel ❤
This was so fun to watch you did real good, Rachel too, hers looked simpler though very professional & yours was quite pretty to behold, Lurr you guys whole lot for this, pls more of this 🎊❤️❤️💝🙌
They are both wonderful!
Utterly awesome ❣ Every single delicious second 😋
Rachel couldn’t take her eyes off your cake! It’s so so pretty tho it’s darker. Love the details! ❤️ I feel like hugging the cake 😅
both of you did amazing job. I love it
Such fun!!
Rachel's hair is amazing!
I love you and Rachel!!!🥰🥰🥰
Aw thank you!! We are caking together right now as we speak!
I knew which one was which, it was a really hard decision, because they were both Great... But the gold gave you away for me Ashleigh. But what a great job... Just beautiful and fun... Rachel that 🤡 is so adorable.... Loved it.🥰🥰
Wow great work both of u.
I love how much u and ur homegirl have so much fun! 💚💚💚
I'm SO lucky to have her!!
Both cakes are amazing! I love the friendship you two have. Your talent is insane!!! You have the most creative ideas! You’re amazing Ashleigh 💕
Both cakes were really cool!
Also *Utilizing*
Thanks!! 💕🥰
Woohoo. I voted for the steampunk cake! 😂
Aww. Both of you know each other so well. You’d guessed that she’ll most likely to go for bright colors with some red, and you were right!
And you’re SO talented! That’s a really good-looking cake you made for winging most of it.
Yay! Thanks so much for watching 💕
What cake off is next??!!!! I'm so excited!!!🥳🥳🥳🥳
We were thinking of versing my sister!! Who doesn’t decorate cakes, but we would have a few things impeding us 😂
Congrats Ashley!👏🏼 I choose the Steampunk cake! It was a extremely unique take on a ‘carnival’ vibe. In addition, I very much dislike fondant which the clown had allot & it lacked actual cake. Both cakes were unique in their own regard though!
Thanks so much!! We enjoyed making them 💕💕
This is amazing 🤩 you guys are genius ❤️
But I also vote on you, I love the detailed of your work, cool! ❤️
And Rachel cake is cute, but her speed though ❤️
Her speed is SO impressive!!
Both beautiful 🤩 ♥️♥️♥️ it!
Loved this!! I really like steampunk and actually had to play this video back when you said: “Candace said it was scary!” I was like wait a minute…my name is Candace!!😂😂
Both cakes look amazing.Did you use modeling fondant for the gears and the horses or regular fondant?
Just regular fondant :)
They are both nice 👍
I vote dor both. Very different approaches and styles
Totally different! Thank you for voting!
Wow I though yours was the clown cake. Both are beautiful! But I love Ashley’s!!!!
I'm late but I choose steam punk carnival!
Where do you order your molds?
6:23 what do you mean by the chocolate recipe being stable? Are there some cake recipes that aren’t good for carving/building? Which recipes are good for intricate cakes?
Definitely--some cakes are super super soft and don't hold up well to being carved.
Must admit that I knew the winner was Ashleigh's cake from the airbrushing. There was a comment made during the making of Landon's Nemo / octopus cake indicating that Rachel does not like airbrushing but Ashleigh does. Regardless Rachel's structural vision is amazing and well executed. I will be using the wire solution for structural support of cake extensions in the future as it provides a solution to an issue I have experienced. Again, well done ladies! I have enjoyed this challenge immensely.
Oooo good listening on that one!! I had forgotten myself that I said that 😂 So glad you enjoyed the video
That little girl has the cutest little voice.
Did you put something into the fondant to make it harden in the mould?
Nope! Just place it in and pop it out when it's still soft and then it hardens up once it's been on the cake for a while :)
Would Rachel be willing to share a similar chocolate cake recipe with us. I understand her own my be proprietary.
How long do you have to put things in the fridge/let rest so that it doesn’t melt? What kinda fridge do you have so that a big cake fits? Lastly, how would you transport cakes like these if they were for a customer?
So I place things in the fridge as soon as I'm finished and ideally I would like to be able to refrigerate for a couple hours before giving it to a customer. The fridge I have is a beverage fridge that is fairly tall and has good depth so it can fit about a 3-4 tiered cake inside. Transferring the cakes is always done VERY carefully if I have to deliver!! haha...usually on my lap
Hey! Why is that gold colour looking greenish ? Amazing video btw😍♥️
Thank you! A lot of golds have a slight greenish hue. My camera tends to pick up cooler tones so in person that slight green tinge is not noticeable. 🥰
This just proves never under estimate yourself 😊
Both cakes turned out good. But I have to go with the clown. I’m not a dark person. The elephant cake was a lol creepy lol
The clown hardly has cake.. just boards and fondents
Really Karen? Really.
What did you do with the cakes afterwards?
Give them away!
Dang, I can't help but just love her big hair 😂😂 my niece has big hair and she says "the higher the hair, the closer to Jesus" 🤣🤣
She's just so creative and good at all of this! I loved watching people decorate cakes and my mom and neighbor did it professionally, so I had personal influence, but videos like this are what made me go into doing it for the public! You are both so very talented! ❤️
I remembered you said something about a 3 tiered cake, and so I immediately assumed the carousel was yours! I love it so much! I love Steampunk, I love the circus vibe, I love clowns, I love all of it! I have the craziest style 😂
Although I can appreciate the amount of work and talent that goes into making elaborate gravity defying cakes, I would not want one for myself. The things that are used in the structure bother me.
That's understandable!
I saw you having issues describing the cake
i think the best way to describe is Eerie Carnival
beautiful oxymoron
💕🥰
I'm surprised the clown cake wasn't yours Ashleigh because I know you love to do those type of fun,bright,cheery,animation looks which I love both did well
Edited: Ashleigh yours gave me a lot to look alot at and seems professional but it give me a scary vibes maybe because of the dark colors and I love the bright side of things but you both did well
Hahaha you’re not alone-after seeing the clown cake as well, my sister thought we were doing ‘haunted’ themed cakes 😂😂
BRB gonna go order a steamer now…….
You won’t regret it!!
Does Rachel wear a life vest?
Lol no! she was just wearing a satchel bag I think!
hi sweet dreams Bake shoppe and woocing your cakes on you tube and wan you do Nauzs cakes on my faurt cake you make fouzs on the cake and wan you dauxrk coup cakesz and LOve you and I will thake vove you in the haurt
“I’m going to assume the $100 came from the structural pieces as well as the fondant.” Well duh. It’s made of about 5% actual cake.
Ashley, you're a friggin mind reader
I could only dream of ever having your skill, you have incredible patience You are amazingly talented But please cut your fingernails!! No disrespect
