hi everyone, without even realizing it this video gained so many views over the past week or two T_T thank you for even clicking on my video and i hope it was peaceful to watch or helped you make your own duck cake C: thank you for subbing if you did! i am still active even though i havent posted in a while, the cakes have been busy and I do have a few videos to post soon once I finish the captions ~ ty again for liking my video eeeeeeee
you’re so kind for replying to so many comments and sharing your process and tips and tricks. I’ve been reading a lot of them and learning a lot - so i decided to bite the bullet and buy a whole bunch of baking tools to make cute cakes like you 😅 YOU ARE MY INSPIRATION, wish me luck
i love this so much, its frustrating when cake artists make every little decoration out of fondant. ik its easier and u can get more details for certain things but it just ruins the edibility of it
hii •ᴥ• here is a recipe to follow if its hard to in the video: swiss meringue buttercream 580g sugar 8 freshly cracked egg whites 800g of butter (i will be updating tomorrow with step by step written out as well C: )
@@mohkki5506 yes ofc!! for this exact cake i did end up putting vanilla extract! I normally add 1 tsp so that it isnt too sweet~ i really like the taste of buttercream without any flavoring C: but you can ofc add any extract you d like to it!~ today i actually did a buttercream cake with lavender extract and it was really yummy!
@@menucafe do you perhaps have the exact time on how long you put the buttercream mix in the double boiler? Or some tips to know when it is ready to go off the heat? Sorry if im askin too much (╯︵╰,)
hmm i also wonder now too, maybe i can make a comparison video! i rarely make italian meringue buttercream so i can't remember what it's like but with the only difference being how the sugar is incorporated i wonder how that changes things!
@@menucafe the difference is temperature how to treat the sugar with the eggwhite, with the swiss method, you only heat up to 70c, but with Italian it is 115C before pour into soft peak egg white, so, i will think it is much safer to eat.
Im going to try and make this cake (or something similar) today! It looks really pretty so im hoping even if the ducks dont turn out well, i can make a nice pond!
Omg this video is so cosy and aesthtic! And your cakes are amazing!! Thank you for sharing the swiss meringue butter cream recipe too, I hope to try it 🍰💞🎀
ahhh sorry for the delay! but i use chefmaster food coloring ~ i swear by it and refuse to use anything else hahah! The gel one is best for whipped creams or buttercreams! a.co/d/e0dKUvq
I hope its not too late to raise a question- but, how do you avoid the colors from bleeding into each other? When I am decorating with food color, whipped cream in particular, the colors bleed so terribly..
never too late, im so sorry i just saw this comment T_T - the key to stopping colors from bleeding is using gel color and using as little as possible! for buttercream its doesnt bleed as much, but for whipped cream its really bad :( my tips: 1. whip the cream to be as stiff as it can be without being over whipped (so obviously you want it to still be fluffy and useable) but the stiff the whipped cream is the better a chance it won't bleed 2. use as little food coloring as possible! remember that with whipped cream the color gets darker as it sets and oxidizes, so you might think you need more food coloring but you won't! hopefully this helps, unfortunately, with whipped cream its so hard and even sometimes i find my cakes bleeding and i get so sad but these tips above are what helped me avoid it most. I also always advise my orderees that if they are using dark colors to only do buttercream or there will be bleeding T_T
@@menucafeomg thank you so much for responding! 🥰 I thought I was going crazy with this issue. I'm actually using gel based food coloring. How much would you say is considered "little amount"? A single drop? or should I pick as little as the tip of a toothpick? I guess the amount of cream also matter, but in order for shapes to pipe neatly the cream shouldn't be piped to max stiffness T_T TBH I prefer coloring creams with natural dyes like fruit puress or powders but not all colors are readily available or possible to implement unfortunately (especially when you want those cute little figurines piped on your cake).
ooh good question! keeping your work area/kitchen at a 65 degrees F or lower is best (when i worked in a cake bakery we had it 62 all the time so im used it and thats what i keep the room at when working on a cake) ~ i also work pretty fast and only blend the colors into the buttercream when im ready to pipe it - melting isn't an issue if temperature is cool/cold on room but if placing in the fridge while taking a while or working on a detailed part just microwave in increments of 5 secs until desired softness and then be sure to whip in mixer again before using!
hii ~ personally i think the sugar is enough because i like things not too sweet but is you want to add flavoring i would start by 1/2 a tsp and add until it meets your preference!
T_T__T_T_T that means so much to me ~ and it all depends on the size of cake! for this one, i would consider it a simple design (for me) and it was 6inch so on my menu that's $75 (and its fully custom inside and out!)
Do you know how long the cream is good for? Because I think about making a big batch and then freezing the rest when I don’t need to use it, but scared it won’t be suitable for that 😋🥰 thank you for the recipe
you technically can, however i don't recommend it because it can change its texture when changing the temperature back and forth! but you can always try it with a small batch and see if its okie for what you are doing!
the one in the video was one i was gifted and it actually ended up breaking after like 6 months T_T but heres the one i use! i got it mainly for the shape/aesthetics but its been such strong mixer too i really love it! C: a.co/d/fzoe269
yes ofc! I actually give them to my mother-in-law and she uses them when cooking~ but you can also make a batch of lemon tarts or find another recipe that uses only egg yolks to use them~ also you can freeze them for later use if needed!
hii - if its already a decorated cake then yes this would be good in the fridge for up to two days - but be sure to leave out for about 15-30 minutes before servings so it softens! Do this in a cooler room/room temperature room as well so it doesn't spoil! However, if its to be using for piping the next day I wouldn't recommend it as it harden in the fridge and once softened/heated to make soft it can change texture/be not as shiny!

Are there any vegetarian substitutes for eggs? I want to make a cake for my mum and this was the perfect recipe for buttercream but she doesn't eat eggs. She is vegetarian not a vegan.
When I make this buttercream it just doesnt taste good :( it tastes like fatty eggs. I like the taste of butter but it neither tastes like butter nor sweet. It just tastes weird :( everyone loves swiss meringue buttercream but I dont know why mine tastes so bad
@@menucafe I tried making swiss meringue buttercreme 5 times and I follow a similar recipe each time, like a professional one, I always used fresh ingredients and I sometimes cook the eggs longer and I sometimes cooked it way less, it tasted the same both times. I think swiss meringue just tastes like eggs because its not sweet enough and the egg taste comes through.
my heart breaks everytime i measure it out LOL but it is for a 6 inch cake and better than american buttercream which calls for like 900g of powdered sugar 😫 maybe i can try and come up with a low sugar buttercream! 🤔

When working with so many colors how do you keep your icing from melting in the bags/harden in the fridge?

check the recipe if you follow one and the quality of your ingredients if you haven't !
^^ second this ~ also make sure you aren't overcooking the eggs on the double boiler - i did that once and it tasted off for sure!
