Melissa, always love these videos where you are explaining as well as showing us, step by step. The cake is absolutely beautiful and love the addition of the dogs on the back with a little bit of the cake showing that they took a bite out of it 😃Great video as always!
Thank you! I’m glad you like the step by step. I’m hoping it gives people an understanding of what goes into decorating cakes and also helps those looking for tips.
Love it! Question: I always feel like I have enough filling but when it's cut, it's not. I am doing my 1st large cake (12", 10", 8") and want to know is there a formula/trick to knowing? My eyeballing hasn't worked yet, lol!
Thank you! And thanks for commenting 😊 to be honest I eyeball it myself. One trick you could do is use a piping bag with either a large straight tip or if it’s a plastic bag cut a decent amount off of the tip to create an opening (assuming it’s a buttercream consistency filling) and pipe the filling on the layer. Start from the inside and go in a big swirl until you reach the outside. If you keep the piping bag at the height that you want the thickness of the filling to be it should work. Let me know if this makes sense or not. If not I can create a quick tip to post.
The buttercream recipe I use is from Merci Cakes on instagram. It is a silky buttercream recipe. She shares her recipe on Instagram. In our first episode, Buttercream Dreams, we talk about the butter we use, etc.

@@CakeAdventures I believe it will. People will see it takes a lot of work and dedication.
So fun to watch! But very nerve racking! I don’t know how you do it
You could do it! You have the talent. Just lots of practice.
