    This video has just TOTALLY EMPOWERED me. My cakes are about to go to the next level. I'm a beginning baker and this is the EXACT knowlegde I needed to give my cakes that PROFESSIONAL look I want them to have.
    I'm the designated baker in my family and eveyone loves my cakes. The only thing missing is that professional, clean, sharp look. I can't wait for the holidays to surprise everybody with my newly acquired decorating skills. Thanx SOOOO MUCH for this demo. It has really removed all the mystery and complications from the decorating process. This is my GO TO video if ever I need a refresher. MAN....I'm so excited !!! :-)

    This is helpful, thanks. I recently got my first cake order, (normally I stick to things like soft pretzels and cookies), and when I made it it didn't look the best. Thankfully the person who had ordered was someone I know and understood why it didn't look the best and was fine with it as it wasn't for a huge party or anything (like 4 people), but I still need to get my cakes looking better. The crumb coat was something I didn't know to do. I'm probably going to experiment with some cakes soon to get them looking better, but this is really helpful!

I had been watching decorating videos for years and all tips are appreciated as most people, especially when doing a super fancy cake skip this or just do it quickly. I cannot wait to try out all the tools, piping tips, using colors etc.

    • @Chelsweets
      @Chelsweets  5 лет назад

      how deep of pans are you using?! I usually bake my layers individually, in 2 inch pans! My recipe definitely caramelized on the sides, so it's not the best for super deep pans!
      Thank begin said, you can minimize the caramelization with baking strips (like these: amzn.to/2XAZmvK) or you can use a flower nail or heating core to help your layers bake more evenly! Hope that helps
