Hi ~ Just found your channel from you the shortening comparison video. Then I fell down the rabbit hole watching many more~ Really glad to have found your channel !!! Thanks for post all the great informational videos !
Hi Yvonne! I'm so glad my videos are helping you! 🙌
Thanks for all your tips. I've learned so much from watching your videos.
You're welcome honey! 😊🙌
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I have my first wedding cake delivery this weekend and it is over an hour away! I have a Hyundai Tucson and plan on making my rear AC work Hard! 🤞
Our cars are similar! Drop that back seat and let it cool off for a bit. Also, if you have sunshades for the windshield, use them! My car has been cooler when I go to start it since I've been using them.
Thank you so much for this!! My first wedding cake is in 2 weeks ☺️☺️ I’m excited and terrified! I don’t think I would have thought to bring anything so thanks for this!
You got this girl!!
Amazing! Here in Chicago we call them “Oh Sh*t kit”!😂🤣
OMG stealing that (giving CHI cred though) 😂😂😂
Karolyn, I love your channel! I'm a newbie at cakes, and I have learned so much from you! You are truly genuine and I love your energy, enthusiasm, and honesty! Thanks so much!!
Awww you're welcome! I'm happy to help!
Karolyn, I have the best homemade cooler for transporting my cakes. When you put a cold cake in it, it acts as a refrigerator. It was cheap to make. If you want details, let me know.
That's interesting! Can you email me the details? KakeAcademy@gmail.com
Would be interested too! Can you email to sbmouafamily@gmail.com. Thanks!
I also would like to know, please share 😊
Oh yes me too!
That is beautiful! I would have been so stressed out driving that distance. I bet you had one happy couple. If you are at all familiar with Freehold NJ and the (now gone) Freehold traffic circle...I had to pick my wedding cake up and take to the venue. It required going around the circle. My soon to be husband was driving a 9 passenger station wagon. I was in the back, on my stomach, trying to keep the cake stabilized. At one point my nose was about a half inch from the cake. I was never so happy as I was when we dropped that cake off. That was 50 years ago.
OMG and you can still feel the stress 50 years later!! 😂😂 I'm not familiar with that circle. But NJ drives me crazy with those LOL
I try not to stress too much because I found that it wasn't doing me any good. Whatever is going to happen will happen. And I have the tools to fix it when I got there. The stinkin blowout was on the very front (of course). I smoothed it the best I could, but you could still tell it wasn't perfect. But luckily the bride and groom were super sweet and cool with it!
I don’t care for the taste or look of fondant, BUT your fondant tastes delicious and the way you use it is so perfect that it looks like buttercream. Since watching your videos, I make fondant with your recipe and it’s my ‘go to’ fondant and the ONLY fondant I ever use.
This makes me so happy! I am so glad you like it and it's working out for you!
That is so beautiful!!! I love, love your videos because I learn a lot. I learned how your process is in heat and an hour away. I go 20 miles and I’m on pins and needles. Thanks for sharing and by the way love the shades. Enjoy your day ❤️
I'm with ya, deliveries (especially when it's hot out) are stressful! But it's all good when you have the right tools. 😊
OMG! That cake is gorgeous.
Karolyn, Beautiful design!! Thank you so much for posting this!! I have a recommendation that I learned. Take a small drinking straw and insert it into the blowout and suck out the air. It's amazing how the icing retracts then you fill in the hole with a little icing and smooth it. Thank you again for sharing.
Never heard that!
@@KarolynsKakes happened to me last week on my minnie mouse cake.... right in the front of top tier. You have to insert the straw into the bubble until it touches the cake (you can feel it) and start to pull it out as you suck the air out. It's magical. 😁😁
I think I read it on cake central years ago.
Thank you, Karolyn!
Thanks for your videos ❤️
Thanks for watching!
I was holding my breath during ur delivery 🤣😂...we always bundle up
Me too! 😂😂
Thanks!
Awwwwww thank youuuuuuuuu!!! You're the sweetest!! And is this Matthew? Or Lindsey? Or is that the same person? 😂
@@KarolynsKakes I go by Matt. Lindsey is my last name 😊
Thanks for sharing
😊💜🙏
The cake was beautiful. TFS..
the cake is beautiful. Thanks for your helpful tips
Thanks so much love! 😊
Thanks for sharing. I just ordered your Tee shirt..I love it! Love your NJ girl lol. 💜💜
Yay! Thank you! I ordered one when I created it, but I'm still waiting for it to arrive! 💜🙏
@@KarolynsKakes Hopefully we'll both receive them soon.😊
Hi Karolyn, so I have been binge watching your videos and now you need to make more because I’m pretty sure I’ve almost finished watching them all haha. I’ve learned so much, thank you 🙏🏻 buuuut I now have a tonne of questions below for you, sorry! haha🙃
- [ ] Could you refrigerate the cakes instead of freezing them if you needed them the next day? Eg. Bake night before and fill the next morning?
- [ ] How far in advance can you make things out of fondant?
- [ ] Do you bake on more than one shelf in the oven?
- [ ] If you struggle to find any shortening, can you just use all butter?
- [ ] Would love to see how you store all of your cake stuff and ingredients
Thank you in advance 🙌🏻
I'm working on making more! 😂😂
1. If you need them next day, I would just wrap them up and leave them at room temp. That's what I used to do.
2. I've made fondant decoration up to 5 days in advance. Especially things like graduation cap tops that need to be super hard!
3. I never bake on multiple shelves. I'm sure some people may do it with success. But I have perfected the result by doing it just on 1 shelf and I don't want to mess up! Maybe one day if I have time to test it out, I'll try it.
4. Yes, you can use all butter. Shortening helps stabilize the buttercream. It melts at a higher temperature than butter so icing with shortening added can last longer in warmer weather!
5. One of these days I'll get around to filming that video.
You’re the best! Thank you ❤️
I love this kind of video. Thank you for sharing! 🥰🥰😘
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love all of your videos. Thank you so much 😘
You are so welcome!
Wow!! Beautiful!! This video helped a lot!! Thank you for putting out these videos!! (As you can see I yell a lot too 😂)
So it's not just me! 😂😂Glad it was helpful!
I’m so surprised you don’t have a CakeSafe yet!? Karolyn thank you for all your content I have learned so much from you!
I’m sure you have a video somewhere where u broke down how you figure out the delivery fee but I can’t find it! Can u point me in the right direction? Thank you!!😊
I gotta get one!!
I charge $25 PLUS $2.25 per mile (one way), plus any tolls.
So a venue that's 10 miles away would cost $25 PLUS 10 x $2.25 ($22.50) = $47.50.
Very usefull, tjanks 😁
I love your videos. Have been watching them all day. Do you ever assemble a cake at the venue. I have done both and prefer delivering it assembled and doing the minor fixes, but sometimes it makes me a nervous wreck, plus I cannot carry a big 3-4 tier cake by myself and sometimes I deliver alone.
I have assembled at the venue like one time. And never again LOL
Icing gets soft as you drive with the cakes and then trying to handle them and stack them once I'm there...it just doesn't work out.
I don't like making cakes bigger than 4 tiers because they get too heavy. So I let people know that when they order!
I did a 3Tier Wedding Cake, with top Tier on the stilts or suspended I don't know what it's called lol. Delivery was an HR drive, I did the same thing, cooled the car, brought everything that would fix it it something was to go wrong. Brought Back Up to help carry the cake (it was too heavy for me to move the bottom two tiers). I explained how to cut the cake, as it had the supports recommend for such a size, it also had Real Red Rose's. Which I took 2 cake boards cut them smaller then where they were being places, used buttercream frosting as a base to put the flowers in on top of the cake boards. One for the top of the second tier one for the top of the top tier. I explained to use a spatula to lift the flower covered cake boards up, set aside on a plate. Then dig in. They pulled all the flowers out placing them in cups of water and threw out the cake boards... And tried to put the cake together as they were doing two events and wanted the same cake at both. I tried to tell them cut into top tier at first event the bottom at the second event.
Talk about not listening, they even stuck the cake in the freezer on the first night, because they did not make room in the fridge as I had suggested. Pulled it out the next morning and left on counter to thaw the second day....
I was sadden as I seen how bad they messed it up. But all I could say was, That was NOT what I told you to do. In fact did what I said not to do.
The cake made the 1 hr drive with no extra work as far as a Cake Safe or insulated Cake Safe or even an Ice Chest. It was an indoor event, and the cake held up great.
I am going to get a Tool Box, basic little tool box to hold lam this stuff. Would make the trip a Bit Easier.
Yikes! That's the worst part, sometimes people don't care for them like we recommend. But it's out of our hands once we leave!
And I gotta get a nicer box for the travel tools. Target bags rip LOL
Oh my goodness..this cake is gorgeous! May I ask what size cake pans you used and did you torte your cakes? I have tried your technique on the buttercream icing with the air bubbles and who would have thought that would work. The icing looks so smooth! Thank you for sharing all of your tips and tricks. I'm thoroughly enjoying them!!
Thank you Andrea! That cake was 5" torted, 7" torted, 9" torted, and 3 layer (non torted) 11". I don't like torting cakes bigger than 10". I just feel like they don't turn out right!
Its beautiful!!! Love the toppers!!! Could you share if thats a letter cutter? Or did you cut those using a template? Thats a brilliant idea!!! Xxoo
Thank you! I used the technique that I teach in this video for the toppers. But instead of a number, I did individual letters. I hope that helps!

What is the design on the cake bottom and I believe semiconductors from top tier? It’s absolutely beautiful. Also if anything special can you show us how it was achieved
I used the stencil shown in this video, it's a damask stencil:
ruclips.net/video/F6VB8NXzy7w/видео.html
And for the top tier, I took a circle cutter and made impressions in the buttercream and covered it with small buttercream beads!
Hello Ms Karolyn You Might In The Near Future Invest In getting a Cake Box Made So You Want Have Any Issues With Your Cakes .And Also Your Cakes Are Beautiful And You Teach Classes Well Just look in to The Cake Boxes....
Thank you! What kind of cake boxes are you referring to?
@@KarolynsKakes its a place here in texas or you can make them on your on let me find it for you and I will send it to you ....
@@KarolynsKakes these boxes keep your cakes cool and you want have to worry about the butter cream cakes melting..
Such a pretty cake! Did you do a stencil over the fondant with grey buttercream?
Thank you! It's stencil over fondant. 😊
What about using dry ice?
I have heard that people do that, I just never tried it yet. Have you? I'd love to hear about it!
@@KarolynsKakes I'm going to try the end of this month as I have to deliver 2.5 hrs away. I also saw a RUclips video on another method by a baker
Please do not answer this if it is not appropriate...but I was curious what would the pricing be for that cake and more importantly what is the pricing for delivery of an hour away? Again, not my business what money you made ....so do not feel you have to answer this.
I don't really share exact prices just because there are a lot of factors that go into it. I talk about it in this video:
ruclips.net/video/xJ_Vw86Ufok/видео.html
I would say that you can get anywhere between $4 - $15 per serving depending on your area, skill level, etc.
And with delivery I charge $25, plus $2.25 per mile (1 way), plus any tolls.
This venue was 33 miles away. So 33 x $2.25 = $74.25. Plus $25. I charged $100 for delivery!
@@KarolynsKakes Thank you for even replying. I appreciate the info!
