    I worked for a bakery. They used a textured paper towel while they gently smoothed to leave a slight impression on the icing. It actually looked great.

    Hi there,
    For this first time last week I was excited to use my cake scrapper (new baker here 🍰🤗) but I kept taking off more frosting then necessary 😩. I think I was definitely holding it up against the cake to hard. Practice makes perfect, thanks for the tips.

    Thank you for the really helpful video❤ When we take our cake layers out of the fridge to frost, do we need to let them sit out for 10-15 prior to frosting still wrapped up? Or do we take the plastic wrap off and can frost right away? 🫶

    Thanks for this great video. I have a question. My family don’t like butter cream. Can I use whipped cream that I sometimes use for cupcake or whipping cream with cream cheese? I whip the 33%cream and beat it with cream cheese and icing sugar and forms well. If I can use that instead of butter cream are all the steps exactly same as this video? Thanks

    I have made cakes for decades with no issues with the frosting. BUT, just recently I tried a checked board cake ( made a trial then the actual). Stacking was ok. After frosting and decorating the icing/decorating slide off the cake pulling the cake off with it! I was horrified! Did this with both cakes. What a mess. Any idea what I am doing wrong? I am soon making a baby carriage cake and do not want a repeat. Help, please. PS I will never do a checkerboard or layers again.

      I think when it completely cool because if it’s warm it’s gonna kinda melt the plastic wrap, it’s just better to do it cool. 🌸

    • @evarivera3846
      @evarivera3846 2 года назад +5

      it’s best to wrap the cakes when they are about 10 minutes out of the oven. so yes wrap them when they are warm because the plastic wrap will lock in than moisture and keep the cake nice and moist. and then chill in the fridge for an hour. happy caking!
