HOW TO CRUMB COAT A LAYER CAKE!

Want to crumb coat like a pro... here you go!
All you need to crumb coat is your sponge and some buttercream.
Tools etc I use include a small crank handle palette knife, a large flat palette knife, cake levelling wire, side scraper,turntable and an additional cake board. Of course you can do this without the tools but having the tools makes it a much neater finish!
Happy Baking!

Can you start baking the cake from scratch as I always seem to have a sticky top to my cakes thanks Juliet thanks Carrol ps I’ve seen you on this morning a few time nice

[@mamasrecipesbysafrinafairo9655]

Perfect 👍👌

[@JulietSear]

Thanks 😊

[@nonsensical01]

when pop it in the fridge, would you recommend covering the cake? or is it okay to just leave it in the fridge like this uncovered? :) and how long to leave it in the fridge for? thank you :)

[@JulietSear]

Sorry for the long wait 🤣 it’s fine to place in uncovered as long as the fridge is kept clean I’d leave it for about an hour or so 🥰

[@peen2804]

I’m American and I’ve only ever heard it called a crumb coat, could be a regional thing though I have no idea. Thanks for the quick and straightforward guide
Edit:
I see it’s been pointed out. Apologies 😂

[@zimmejoc]

They call it a crumb coat in New York, California, Tennessee, Texas, and South Carolina. If it's regional, it isn't regional to the old south, far west, southwest or new england :) No telling what kind of terminology those folks in the pacific northwest use though!

[@lisaorourke903]

I always struggle with cutting cakes in half , is it ok to make thinner cakes and sandwich them together? Thanks

[@louisecowen7733]

Would it be ok to make my sponge cakes the day before I crumb coat the cake?

[@lisaorourke903]

How do you avoid getting buttercream all over the cake drum or do you have to move it to a clean one? Thanks

[@libbybarnard86]

I live in America and we call it a crumb coat... never heard of a dirty ice or whatever you said.

[@barrelrider7427]

A notch. I use that in sewing.🤔

[@mags6452]

How do you make your buttercream ?

[@JulietSear]

I've got a couple of videos on that. My latest one has some top tips to make it perfect every time!

[@pauladelai6473]
