  • @judyfleming6269
    @judyfleming6269 4 роки тому +35

    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

    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)?

  • @magalirodriguez7830
    @magalirodriguez7830 2 роки тому

    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 ?

  • @ellemelbaus1129
    @ellemelbaus1129 5 років тому +5

    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.

    • @IMP3TIGO
      @IMP3TIGO 4 роки тому

      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.

  • @user133pushkin
    @user133pushkin 2 роки тому

    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

    • @SugarGeekShow
      @SugarGeekShow  4 роки тому

      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.
