Dont mind them. I have been doing cakes for almost a decade now and i am learning a lot from other bakers esp from you. And you know what? Thank you so much for sharing coz you make my life easier. If they can do better, then please post a video on how you do it. If u dont want to share it, then dont speak ill for people like her who wholeHeartedly share ideas.
I have only frosted one square cake (in pastry school) and never want to again, however, I have a theory that there could be a different way that might work and be fairly easy, so I thought I would bounce the idea off of you. In the last couple of years I've begun to see people freeze buttercream roses, decorations, etc. because it makes it easier to work with. Would it be possible to actually freeze squares of buttercream to place on the sides of the cake (after a slightly thicker crumbcoathad been put on ) and then use an exacto knife to actually slice the edges off to make them even and square. You would have four panels (like with fondant, but it would be frozen buttercream). Any small lines from the exacto knife could possibly be buffed out with a viva paper towel. I don't have all the kinks worked out in my head, but just curious what you think about it? By the way...great video..love all your videos and recipes.
Oh my God, I've actually tried this in the past, we think alike. The thing is it works but there are kinks, kinks I'm determined to straighten out, I'll be back to let you know how it goes with the revised version. Hopefully, 3rd time's the charm
I guess Im asking randomly but does anyone know a way to get back into an instagram account?? I stupidly lost my password. I would love any tricks you can give me
@Valentino Noah thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and Im trying it out now. Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Holy cow I Love You just found your channel today!!! dont pay any attention to anyone that says they can do anything better than you because 90% of the time they are just trying to bring down your self esteem don’t avoid doing square cakes either!!!! You’re right about timing but.... you do it beautifully!
I like strips too but some people don't like the "crust" on the sides/top even if not domed. Personally, I don't find it objectionable at all and always use strips and never cut anything off.
I loved your technique on doing a square cake. I was just asked to do one just to see if I could, because it seems so hard and I'm like nooooooo! Lol! Thank you!!
I've been following your work since I decided to become a home baker 7 years ago and you STILL provide relevant, interesting and honest videos & tutorials!!! You are appreciated...especially for this because square cakes are evil!!!! LOL!
I’m glad that my cake instincts were strong. I’m waiting for my buttercream to set and thought I’d see if there was an easier method but this is exactly what I did so yay! Next just comes the repetitive practice to make it more efficient 😄
Awesome tutroial! Question - does the cake start to run/melt after being taken out of the fridge? I'm afraid it'll lose its sharp edges as they start to melt (I mean once the cake is finished, with fondant and everything). Thank you
Nice tutorial... so much work involved that I may not try it after all though! For people with pull out drawer freezers that preclude freezing cakes, would it be fine to just chill it longer in the fridge (at the lowest temp possible)?
Great tutorial ! Square cakes are definitely a struggle. Does that extender feel safe? I feel like I would be square that it would tip when too much weight. Could I put a tiered cake on it ?
I’ve been asked to do a 14 inch square cake for a party.😮 I have never done a square cake for anyone outside of my family before. What would you recommend for another type of upside down method?
Can you please make a video on baking square cake? For some reason I always end up with slightly undercooked middle with completely cooked sides. And if give it more time to bake , the middle cooks up but the sides starts to burn. I use a 6 x 4 inch square pan
I just want to say thank you so much for helping me make my son's b-day cake. I made a yellow "?" block Mario cake. It was my first time making a square cake. I was skeptical about turning it upside down, but it work out just fine. Thank you and you now have a new subscriber.
Haaaalllpppp! Y’a know what there are no videos about? Tips for baking the large tiers. Like 12, 14 or 16 inches. I wanna make an experimental wedding cake so I can eventually make real ones.
Im a self taught home baker. I did a square cake once n i never took out my square tins again. I came on here cos I really want to overcome that fear lol
This is the most useful tutorial I have seen on this subject. Well done.

I finally got to use this technique as I don't have acrylic discs...I must tell u that it takes time but it absolutely works!!! Thank you so very much
Loved your tutorial.. I’m new to baking and I’m excited to try a square cake because of you. 💕

You are the best Liz!! My optimism keeps growing with every video I watch ..makes me anxious to get off work and get in the kitchen to practice 🥰
Not only do Wilton's baking strips prevent browning but you get a nice flat top, that is, no doming so no need to trim tops and sides of cakes.
I like strips too but some people don't like the "crust" on the sides/top even if not domed. Personally, I don't find it objectionable at all and always use strips and never cut anything off.
Omg I made a square cake and almost had a panic attack lol, it was so hard! But this video made me excited to try it again🤗♥️ perfection 👌🏻
Exactly what I experienced today.. Don't want to do it again
I work at a cake shop and im a decorator and i have the hardest time with square cakes!! hopefully this video will help me improve my cakes!
What size pan did you use here?
Wow, seriously nice edges on this. What would you suggest for a cake 4 times this size though? It's a little difficult to keep flipping around?
Well, I, for one, CAN'T do it as fast as you. Thank you for sharing your tips and tutorials!
Trust me, this was not fast lol!
Look at that perfect smooth cake
Oh my God. You made it do super easy. I just love your technique
Loved this tutorial! Have a squared cake this weekend, going to try this technique! Thank you!!
You are awesome to watch! I learn so much from you! Thank you
Am new to baking. I learned most of the technique from your channel. Please teach us how to calculate frosting to cake based in it's size
Thanks! Great job! I'm not scared to try this lol I want sharp edges.
I loved your technique on doing a square cake. I was just asked to do one just to see if I could, because it seems so hard and I'm like nooooooo! Lol! Thank you!!
Fab tutorial, I really hate square cakes too, but I'm definitely going to try your 3 layer technique next time, thanks 😊
Thank you, I found this worked the best for me to smooth out the corners of a sheet cake.😃
I've been following your work since I decided to become a home baker 7 years ago and you STILL provide relevant, interesting and honest videos & tutorials!!! You are appreciated...especially for this because square cakes are evil!!!! LOL!
LaTisha Brown thank you so much for your support! I love my OG sugar geeks ❤️
Just in time! My son wants a Lego cake for his birthday. 😊 Thank you so much!
Great tutorial. Thank you. I hope I can do it! x
Which square cake pans are you using? Where did you get them from?
I really wanna add the photo of the cake I just made, thank you so much for creating this video it was so bloody helpful 😅❤❤❤❤❤❤
You're a lifesaver. Can't wait for next week
Thanks very much for the tutorial. It's simple and easy to understand

Such a helpful tutorial. Thank you for sharing.
I am making a birthday cake for my mum and this really helped. thank you so much🥰 x

Has anyone told you that you look like abby Hatcher! Love your work by the way. Your so talented
I don't know who that is but thank you
Abby Hatcher is a show on nick jr. You should Google it😊
Nice tutorial... so much work involved that I may not try it after all though! For people with pull out drawer freezers that preclude freezing cakes, would it be fine to just chill it longer in the fridge (at the lowest temp possible)?

I’m glad I found you
You’re such a life saver💕💕💕
Hobby Lobby has square cake boards! I just bought a 12x12 yesterday
Thank you so much , this tutorial has been so helpful for me.
Looks Awesome !!! Thank you! I don’t care for square cakes either!1 you killed it!11
Wow! Will try square Cakes now. You did a great job 💓
I’ve been asked to do a 14 inch square cake for a party.😮 I have never done a square cake for anyone outside of my family before. What would you recommend for another type of upside down method?
This is awesome! You do such a good job of explaining in detail - definitely going to try doing a square cake next. Although it is frightening. LOL
Great Liz ,thanks for this tutorial
Hi, this is so helpful! Question: how thick are the layers of cake? This will be my first time baking a square cake 😬
Plan to try this soon.
When I’ve finished my crumb coat, I can see my tower of square cakes is leaning slightly. Can this be corrected with the 2nd layer of buttercream?
His is extremely helpful!!! Thank you so much!
How do you calculate how much buttercream you need for the cover? I always end up with too little or too much leftove
Wow, what a great video but now I'm not sure I should've promised to make a square cake!!!
How do you not have 15million subscribers!!! Lol
IKR?! SHE DESERVES MILLIONS OF FOLLOWERS! Boo to content farms who put out unoriginal/fake/low quality content
Can we do it whipped cream also in the same way??
Very beautiful, nice work
amazing work.....great tips
Thanks for sharing you make it look so easy ❤
Can you please make a video on baking square cake? For some reason I always end up with slightly undercooked middle with completely cooked sides. And if give it more time to bake , the middle cooks up but the sides starts to burn. I use a 6 x 4 inch square pan
Use a shorter pan :) That's why I don't use 4" tall pans because they make the edges too dry. Or you can use a baking core, that might help.
Where did you get your turntable and extend turntable? Did you order it online?
So perfect..well done
Awsome job you have thought me something new keep up the good work
Can you use strawberry’s to for the filling? It’s stable?
Great work.
This was such a great tutorial, amazing, well done
great job lyz
Thank you! Perfect job!
Good tutorial 👌
I just want to say thank you so much for helping me make my son's b-day cake. I made a yellow "?" block Mario cake. It was my first time making a square cake. I was skeptical about turning it upside down, but it work out just fine. Thank you and you now have a new subscriber.
Haaaalllpppp! Y’a know what there are no videos about? Tips for baking the large tiers. Like 12, 14 or 16 inches. I wanna make an experimental wedding cake so I can eventually make real ones.
Ordered all of my square cake boards on Amazon. 4,6,8,10,12 inch.
You are the best ❣🌹🤗👏👏👏👍👍👍👍
This is Amazing!! Thank you!!
Im a self taught home baker. I did a square cake once n i never took out my square tins again. I came on here cos I really want to overcome that fear lol
Looks great, thanks.
Haha! They have square cake boxes where I live!!!! This is an excellent tutorial! Your tutorials are always so great!
Did you use a square pan for this?
Very usefull🥰
Wow. Looks great but that's a lot of work. Lol. Have you ever tired using acrylic disks?
I was thinking that too! I've done square cakes just using two cardboard bases and it worked well. Freezing helps a lot!
I have used acrylic disks but they are so expensive and you have to have two in every size. But if you have them they are a great option!
I'm with you on the price lol. Still love your tutorial though. I'm so skeptical of flipping my cakes to ice it. You make it look so easy!
@@AmeliaBaljit Totally understand! I felt the same when I learned lol! You should try it sometime for a practice!
@@SugarGeekShow Mustering up the courage. Lol
I found square cake boards on Amazon and from Global sugar art.
Great video! Thanks!!!
Can I put my cake back after frosting and its not going to be served at that moment or it will be hard when it's time to eat it
If you mean back in the fridge the answer is yes. I keep all my cakes refrigerated until it's time to serve them.
Tans
What about fondant cake, how do you store the remainings
@@kateamankwaa2647 The leftover fondant goes back into a ziplock bag and stored at room temperature until you need it again
I mean a cake that's covered with fondant, how do you store the left overs?
I get my square cake boards from Hobby Lobby ☺️
Can you do sharp edges whipped cream please?
You are a star
If you don't have a turn table what can you do
My daughter asked for a Mario question box for her birthday 🤦♀️ I guess I have no choice now 😂 Thank you for the tips !
Amazon has 6,8,10 square cake boards and drums as well.
Thanks for giving me a new challenge!
