Thank you so much SCB! I don't do well in stressful situations...if you watch many of my cake videos you see that I ALWAYS work alone. I like to get in my zone and just work....no noise....no stress...no talking....nothing but me and my thoughts. Those shows thrive on the drama and I would have a melt-down and choke someone's eyeballs out before it was all over! hahaha! =}
Thank you! I'm going to make sure I don't forget to pick up the high ratio shortening next time! lol I don't have to make this very often thank goodness!!! =}
If you buy (i think wiltons) white food coloring , you can make the buttercream however you want and put some drops in there. It usually does the trick!
Yeah, I didn't have any on hand...I use Americolor's white and need to remember to either order some or pick some up next time I'm in Dallas because our Walmart stopped getting Wilton's white. =/
I started using Walmart's Great Value shortening (the one that say "Good for Baking and Frying"). It still has trans fats and it works well. I am in Texas also, so I know the struggles with butter cream. :)
Oh wow, I didn't know that! Thank you Velma, I'll keep that in mind if I need to do another one, I don't get very many requests for those (thank goodness lol) the struggle is real here in Texas isn't it?!?! =}
I do a half and half (butter/crisco) down here when summer hits and can get it to crust for me as well as stand up to Bama humidity. I do have to make it sweeter than all butter cuz it needs more powdered sugar to crust, and also add a little bright white color for pure white, but you do what you gotta do. :D
Ok thanks! I rarely have to make it because I normally cover all my cakes in fondant so the color of the buttercream doesn't matter but ever so often I get someone who doesn't want fondant at all. I also normally just pick up the high ratio shortening if I do get someone wanting it.....I just forgot this time! lol You better believe I won't forget again because that mess had me talking UGLY!!!! lolol =}
+MsDreamcakes I bet! I prefer fondant a thousand times over to buttercream, too - and I get the same occasional "absolutely no fondant at all" client. I personally hate how finicky a buttercream finish is, but we gotta please the clients XD
Aw that's a gorgeous baby shower cake 😊 I wouldn't have been throwing sprinkles at it though.. I would have been throwing them at the makers of Crisco! 😂😂😂😂😂 by the way, you're looking FANTASTIC!! saw some leg action going on.. Woohoo! Seriously awesome. Xx
Haha girl, when they first removed the trans fat they had everyone scrambling! It won't crust not even a little bit! Thankfully I rarely do Crisco buttercream, I prefer to use all real butter and it crusts beautifully! You can not only touch it you can pick the tiers up and man-handle them lol. Thank you, I've been gaining and losing the same 5 pounds for a month now....ughhh! I started working out a little and I know building muscle makes you seem like you're gaining but you're losing fat but it's depressing to get on the scale and not see results when you've been working so hard at it. Hopefully my body will adjust and I will see changes on the scale again soon cuz I'm about ready to eat some ice cream if I don't lolol! =}
lol I have never been asked for white butter cream, so haven't had to use a shortening. Don't even know if we can get Crisco in Australia. If we do, I won't be buying it now.. hah! You can do it. Plateau's can be frustrating. And muscle does way a lot more than fat, so you could actually be losing still. :) But you're a star to me. Keep rocking it Xx
Thank you Pandora! I don't have a request for white buttercream very often at all but the next time I do I'll check out the WM shortening, thank you for the heads up!!! =}
Thank you Katie! It's funny that you can't tell until a cake is cut what color the inside is....and I forgot to add that they were .....BLUE!!! I LOVE doing these gender reveal cakes! It's so much fun getting to be a part of their surprise! I haven't uploaded one yet that I sat and smiled like a crazy lady the whole time I was working on it because I knew how bad the couple wanted a little boy and it was a boy, she cried like a baby when they cut into it and saw blue and I cried seeing her cry....so so sweet!!! =}
I don't care for buttercream made with Crisco myself but I've never had anyone complain about the flavor when I do make it (which is rarely) but I put butter flavoring and coffee creamer in it to make it taste more like buttercream made with real butter.
lol I can't stand cake now, once you've had to smell it day in and day out it becomes a "gross" smell! That's a good thing though because I'm doing the low carb thing! lol =}
You do some seriously beautiful work. You should enter one of those Cake War shows!

Swiss meringue butter cream and use white food coloring maybe that will work
Thank you! I'm going to make sure I don't forget to pick up the high ratio shortening next time! lol I don't have to make this very often thank goodness!!! =}
That cake is absolutely adorable!!! So talented :)
Thank you so much! It was definitely one of those that I had thought.....oh this is going to be easy-peasy but turned into a NIGHTMARE!!!! lol =}
I have been binge watching your cake videos all weekend, you are so talented
Awww thank you so much! I'm completely self taught, learned everything I know right here on RUclips! =}

velma morales I use it as well and it's awesome.
Si what shortening do you recommend to use now, instead of Crisco. My cakes never harden either 😓

Mizzery Chick I prefer to work with fondant too because you can just do soooo much more with it!
Worth the stress looks adorable
Thank you so much Lauren, it's a good thing I could remove the sound cuz I was talkin UGLY over this cake!!! lol =}

Love this cake!! Would you mind sharing details on your rolling mat? It’s awesome!
Thank you Ariel! It's a self healing quilters mat by Fiskar! =}
Could I ask for your buttercream recipe please. It seems to spread on this cake wonderfully. Ty 😀
great job
What size cakes are those that you used
Beautiful cake! You are talented. How much would a cake like this one cost?
what are the cake sizes and how much would you charge for this cake? thank you pricing for me is a pain.
I was watching a cake tutorial a while ago n the lady said she uses the Wall Mart brand shortening cuz its still high ratio..?? I looove ur cakes!!
Thank you Pandora! I don't have a request for white buttercream very often at all but the next time I do I'll check out the WM shortening, thank you for the heads up!!! =}
Hi, What recipe do you use for ur reg buttercream icing?
this cake is so pretty good job👍
Thank you Christy! =}
Can u pls share the recipe of fondant without gelatin
I don’t have one. I use Wilton’s fondant. When I made my own I used marshmallows and water with some Wilton’s added in, that’s it.
what size cakes are those?
Beutifool cake!
Oh, how pretty! So was it a boy or girl?
Thank you Katie! It's funny that you can't tell until a cake is cut what color the inside is....and I forgot to add that they were .....BLUE!!! I LOVE doing these gender reveal cakes!

@@MsDreamcakes
Hi, thankyou so much for reply.
That is great ♡
What about the flavor of this Crisco buttercream? Was it good?
I don't care for buttercream made with Crisco myself but I've never had anyone complain about the flavor when I do make it (which is rarely) but I put butter flavoring and coffee creamer in it to make it taste more like buttercream made with real butter.
That is a good tip! Thank you!
Where did you get your straws from? :) Can I get them from Hobby Lobby?
I get mine at Walmart! I assume you could get them at Hobby Lobby too but I've never looked for them there! =}

I didn't have any on hand and I live in the sticks so I couldn't run buy some. =/
So what is it? A girl or a boy? Congratulations to the parents and great job on the cake. Love from India
Thank you so much Gita! I'm sorry I forgot to add what it was....the inside of the cakes were......BLUE for a little boy!! lol =}
Yay!!

It's made of gumpaste and I stick that to a lollipop stick. =}
MsDreamcakes o! ok a lollipop stick!! thanks!
hi there, how did you get the sprinkles to stick to the gum paste H?
You wet it with water and let it sit for a few minutes to become sticky!
🇮🇶👏👏👌👌
This makes me hungry lol
lol I can't stand cake now, once you've had to smell it day in and day out it becomes a "gross" smell! That's a good thing though because I'm doing the low carb thing! lol =}
