This video is so wonderful! I live a good distance from anyplace that makes cakes. We always need a cake in a pinch and this is it. I can bake it just fine and I'll use you're decorating techniques. You are a great teacher. You outline all of the details and explain it all so well. I'll buy you a coffee, several sure. Thank you for sharing your techniques
Yes! Viva is the best, I just wanted to show that you could use a regular one (a lot of people don’t have Viva) because you add texture on top in this design. But I always use Viva for that reason! I should have mentioned that so thank you for that ☺️☺️
@@KarolynsKakes I watch a lot of this videos across the web. I seen one that showed after the crumb coat and you ice the cake, get as smooth as you can, if you let set at room temp for like 10-20 mins till a crust forms on the icing, you can take a sheet of printer paper and a fondant smoother, to smooth it out. If the cake icing has a dry crust layer it should not stick to the paper.... I have tried this before, and it somewhat worked but as a beginner I am sure I just didn't do it right lol.
I love watching you videos, I have learned so much from you. I do not do cakes professionally, just for fun and family and friends. I normally use box mixes (being disabled I can only go so long before having to stop), to save time! So your quick hacks really help a lot. I love the print out idea. I don't have the ability to make the edible print outs so this is a great way to get kind of the same effect. Thanks!
@@littlelady3895 That is actually how I ice my cakes! But this video was for beginners and I didn't want to do something that could be too challenging to learn, so I kept it simple. But the paper trick works really well!
You are the best teacher, very straight forward while you're doing it --- and great tips along the way! I'm going to do this for my daughter's birthday in a few hours. New subscriber here.
OMG I’ve been stressing out over making my own cake as we are “eloping” but still want some of the traditions. You gave me so many wonderful ideas & you are fun to watch!! Thank you 🎂💐👰♀️
It's Amazing How you explain in details, the process of decorating a cake. I congratulate you right now, you are my teacher. I am wanting to make cakes and with you I am learning a lot. Thank you very much and may you have a lot of success in what you do too.
I'm a cake designer specialist and I have to say I really enjoy your videos! You're pretty amazing! I actually learned some tricks from you! Thank you my dear! ❤
Hi Karolyn. I did enjoy your video and as a seasoned instructor of thirty years, your explanations are very good. The only thing I would change is colouring the icing before adding the sugar. I find it best to make a large batch of white icing, separate it into containers and add colour to that. This way you're not making full batches of one colour. I enjoyed your video and look forward to seeing more.
Big lots sells a brand of aluminum foil that is the very best I’ve ever tried it’s Royal brand foil heavy duty it’s twice stronger and thicker than Reynolds . Hope it helps someone! And thanks for the awesome videos!
Dear Karolyn, I've just started out doing some cake baking at home using some of the techniques you've shown in your video and found your tips to be most invaluable as I tried them for making a birthday cake for my elder of two son's who's nine. Given that my son is into things like nerf wars and soccer. If I were ever to attempt to make a soccer ball cake for him in the future. What advice would you give for baking a spherical cake?
If it is a last minute thing, bakery closed or no time to order, a frosted & decorated cake may be all that is available, but if there is time & you only want a cake to decorate or even a cake with no frosting at all, I found most bakeries happy to help, I believe the price comes down too, so why buy one already decorated or even frosted JUST TO STRIP IT ALL OFF WHEN YOU GET HOME to waste it, time & effort, 'course if you save the frosting for reusing that's different.
Karolyn, you are a very good teacher. I love all the detail helpful hints that you put into the video. Do you have a take apart cupcakes tutorial for a baby boy's shower that you could share with your subscribers? Thank you!!!
@@KarolynsKakes Thank you, Karolyn for your speedy and honest reply. Do you have a buttercream that holds up in the summer weather and not spoil? I would like to display a buttercream cake for about 8 hrs or more...
Hi. I love the way you explain everything. I'm a beginner and really appreciate this. You mentioned that you made extra butter cream. How much more did you make for this particular cake? Can you freeze extra butter cream and if so, for how long? Thank you again. Have a blessed day.
I make so much buttercream because I go through a lot of it. Just 1 batch is good for a cake this size. But you can freeze extra, put in an airtight container. Then I'd also wrap with plastic wrap. It can be frozen for about 3 months!
I appreciate what you are doing, but if I have to do all that, why wouldn't I just make the cake s? You can get box mix for little more than a dollar a box. Taste s better than any of those cakes in a cosco, etc....
This was just a tutorial for beginners who either: 1. Don’t know how to bake 2. Don’t have time to bake or 3. Have a cake from a certain store that they like and want to try to decorate themselves. I get it that some people think this concept is weird though!
Hi. Love how you are transparent and don’t gate keep. I’m no baker but i totally took on the responsibility of my daughters first birthday. I want to do three 6”. I don’t have a turn table, mixer, or that skinny spatula. Any advice? Can I get this done with a hand mixer? I want to do something simple but elegant. I was thinking fondant but that seems like a big risk so I was thinking just buttercream the whole thing but what decorations would be best to cover the cake for imperfections? TIA 🥰
You can do a simple buttercream design and it will still look pretty! Here's a recent video I made showing how to make a simple buttercream cake: ruclips.net/video/sCzGCvki_xU/видео.html
I bought a Harris Teeter devils food chocolate sheet cake, removed the rather thick icing. I use small saucer and got 5 circles of what turned out to be already 2 layers of cake and ended up with a 10 layer cake. I whipped the icing with a little water and it turned blue. I iced each section with it and put in refrigerator, putting 2 in the freezer to quicken the chill. I then began stacking and icing with canned Hershey chocolate icing. The process worked great but.... as you know it began to lean. My husband ran to the store and got me a dowel and we cut it and put 2 in it, topped it with sprinkles. It was the leaning tower of chocolate but a great hit and one of the best cakes I've ever eaten. I kept it in the fridge until shortly before dinner and singing, etc. My granddaughter just had to see it cut from top to bottom. You know, that cake stayed up until it was 3/4 cut like that. That last dowel did the trick. I had a great time and it was a great hit. My 41 year old son loved it. Next morning he hit the kitchen with coffee and cake. Thanks. NOT NEARLY AS GOOD AS YOURS. but I'll do it again.
@@KarolynsKakes Karolyn, It is that time of year again. I am planning my son's birthday cake. He is my stepson, in his 40s and I am making up for lost time spoiling him. I ordered a letter/number pan and may use that but will probably do another grocery store cake to my own creation. I enjoy your videos so much and its time. I"m on go.
Guilty pleasure, 😬🤫 I looooove the icing that comes on those cakes😳 I know, so many hate it. I love both and I make my own and use your recipe for ABC except I use more shortening in mine. I’ve tried to replicate the icing on those bought from the bakery and I can not get it right. It’s driving me crazy. Love all your this videos
Some bakery icing is AMAZING!! I remember the icing on this one wasn't great. It tasted like shortening. So it was much better with the fresh icing on it! I would love to be able to replicate that icing you're talking about!
I love all your videos, I've learned so much! I have a question, can you cover a supermarket cake that's frosted in regular icing with fondant if you level the icing?
Thank you Meriam! I'm sure you can, you just have to be careful because if they use a whipped icing or something that doesn't hold up well under fondant, it could be a mess.
I am thinking to buy a cake at the store but need to change the color of the outside frosting only. It’s a light brown and I need it a tan. Any ideas? It’s filled with a mousse type frosting. Its a chocolate ganache cake
love this idea and texture on the cake. when you make this much icing, how do you store the rest, how to use when needed again, and how long is fridge life? ty much
Thanks Ruby! This icing can last up to a month stored properly in the refrigerator. Make sure it is in an airtight container. It can also freeze well up to 3 months. If you freeze or refrigerate it, take it out and leave it on the countertop to come to room temperature. Then I would add a little more vanilla and put it in the mixer to mix it all together again, as sometimes the butter can separate when it is stored.
You can leave it out for about a day. I usually refrigerate it if I know I won't be using it for a little bit. But if I am going to use it in a few hours, it is fine sitting out. You can pop it in the microwave at 15 second intervals to soften it out of the fridge!
It just gives a smooth surface to work on. I have found that it turns out better if you add the texture onto smooth buttercream rather than try to do it right on the cake in one shot. But that's just me, I'm sure it works the other way for many people!
I don't see the point of buying a cake and scraping the frosting off just to redo it. Buying a box of cake mix costs less and it takes something like 5 minutes to mix it then pop in the oven. Redoing a store made cake costs more and takes more time. So what is the point?
I've never personally worked with ghee, so I'm not sure. From what I understand, though, is the texture is more like oil? If so, you could have issues if you just replace the butter with the ghee. Other ingredients may have to be modified so the texture remains the same.
It's a shame you couldn't reuse the roses. Take them off when you first take out the cake or freeze it a little then leave the cake. Use the extra icing for cake pops
Nice guide to decorating cake :) but I really can't understand why you'd buy the cakes!?! I could bake the cakes in about the same time and have less work and mess
They have it in a local store here, but you can get it online. It is more expensive than regular shortening. But it's sold in 50 pound blocks, so it is a lot to shell out at once, but it lasts a while. You can use regular shortening, I just feel like the high ratio shortening has a smoother mouth feel and is structurally stronger and holds its shape better than regular shortening.
I agree! I actually tried the icing once I removed it and it tasted like chemicals! I really made this video for people who are either beginners, who don't want to or don't have the time to bake, or who have a certain cake that they like but want to make it their own.😊
Great tutorial for a beginner. You went at the perfect pace. You didn't rush through. Alot of great tips. Thank you for sharing and keep on caking 💜

A little tip I learned: Viva brand paper towels are great at smoothing icing without leaving imprints. Also will not stick!

You mean 90 degree angle for straight up and down ☺️
Yes! Words are hard sometimes! 😂😂
Would you use dowels for a cake this high? I have found that dowels are necessary- especially in warm weather, so the cake layers don’t shift
In warm weather I would! It's not necessary in the cooler months because the icing doesn't get very soft.

When you make your ABC frosting do u ever use only butter? Or always butter and shortening?
Always butter and shortening because the shortening makes the icing more stable.
Thank you. I'm in Washington State and have only made with butter. Or do a whipping cream frosting with pudding
On your recipe ingredients was written 2 sticks of butter but on the video was mentioned 2 1/2 sticks which one is correct?
2 1/2 sticks is correct, sorry about the confusion!
I don't see the point of buying a cake and scraping the frosting off just to redo it. Buying a box of cake mix costs less and it takes something like 5 minutes to mix it then pop in the oven. Redoing a store made cake costs more and takes more time. So what is the point?
I understand it's not for everyone!
Why do you dip the bench scrapper in hot water?
The hot water heats the metal and the hot metal smooths the icing!
Hello do you still add syrup since they are so moist?
I do spray a little, but not as much as I used to. Just like 3-4 sprays.
@@KarolynsKakes thank you so much for taking your time to answer me.💕
Can ghee be substituted for butter?
I've never personally worked with ghee, so I'm not sure. From what I understand, though, is the texture is more like oil? If so, you could have issues if you just replace the butter with the ghee. Other ingredients may have to be modified so the texture remains the same.
It's a shame you couldn't reuse the roses. Take them off when you first take out the cake or freeze it a little then leave the cake. Use the extra icing for cake pops

I'm trying to think of what's sticky like that, but I'm drawing a blank. I'm sorry!
@@KarolynsKakes maybe double sided tape? 🤷🏾♀️
Hi,Can you share the frosting recipe?
It’s in the description below the video ☺️☺️
Are you freezing between steps ?
Nope! I didn't freeze these.
If you were to sell this cake, would you sell it for just curious 😂 just to take itself without the decorations
Nice guide to decorating cake :)
but I really can't understand why you'd buy the cakes!?! I could bake the cakes in about the same time and have less work and mess
Some people have cakes that they like, but want to decorate them themselves! It's a very specific situation LOL
I love it
Around how much was the cost of the cake once finished?
The cakes were $16 each, the cost of making the icing was about $4. And the topper that I got was $12. So it cost just under $50!
@@KarolynsKakes thank you 😊 I love the way you make edible print images I did exactly you showed in your videos❤️
Where do you purchase your sweetex? I can't find it here in Texas and when I do happen to find it, it's soooooo expensive! 😔
