    Bakers tip: For buttercream you have to beat the butter alone for 5 minutes before adding the sugar and a small amount of milk. 💞👩‍🍳

      Yes! Room-temperature the butter, that's why hers didn't work out I think.

      Honestly I never follow recipes when I bake. You always have to change up something, sometimes my eggs are just too big, or the oven needs less time, other setting,... Many times I need to also add more moisture, as in oil or water, maybe my brand of flour is just very drying?
      Or when I cook, I often play with the flavors and herbs. Cooking is really about making it your own, if you must always follow directions to a t, just go to the bakery

      It also looked like there wasn't nearly enough butter. Should be mostly powdered sugar, then butter, and just a splash of milk.
      I agree with the others, you need to whip the butter for much longer before adding the sugar.

      @@knightshade909 baking often involves eggs, I've never had a standard egg, so I very often need to subtract some eggs. Our chickens lay either really big or really really small ones. Or older eggs are more watery so I need more flour and sugar. Also if I decide to switch to soy or nut milk, the taste changes and I add more sugar or stevia. Also salt usually. Lots of things aren't cookie cutter in baking, the myth that baking has to be exact is long debunked.

In the end, she came out with incredible looking cakes and she seemed to have fun doing it and that's all that matters.

    Hey Mia,
    I do have a few tips for you.
    1. When frosting cakes offset spatulas come in handy, they help ice you cakes much easier and swifter.
    2. The way you used the cake leveler was... Unique. I would recommend searching for videos showing how to use it, because it’s hard to put into words
    3. Before frosting with the colours, apply a crumb coat, a crumb coat is a thin layer of icing that catches all the crumbs so that when you put the final layer of icing you won’t see any of the original cake colour in some spots. (2 layered crumb coats are most effective and remember to chill each layer of icing.
    4. When applying icing start by doing the sides with not so much icing and do the top last and smooth the sides.
    5. Different icing tips are very useful, they help pipe small lines, and there are even flower shaped frosting tips, but they need a bit of experience.
    6. When trying to make icing, definitely use measurements if you aren’t used to making icing a lot
    7. Use your measuring cups and spoons, they may take time, but it the end you can get a much better result when doing homemade recipes
    That’s all the advice I have, I don’t know if it useful but hopefully it helps you 💗
    And always remember UA-cam is your best friend and always search for videos if you’re in doubt.

    Baking Tips!
    When you are decorating your cake what you can do so your cake won't be moving around is use a little dollop of frosting on the cake stand
    When you are smoothing your cakes you can dip your smoother or spatula in hot water then dry it with a napkin and will make it easier for the cake to be smooth
    Side note: when you make buttercream frosting you have to first whip your butter until it is light and fluffy then add your powdered sugar and a splash of vanilla, mix that up until it is a good consistency then you can add a little bit of milk or heavy whipping cream if it is to stiff

    Hey Mia
    So I know I’m 2 years late to the party but as a cake decorator myself with a couple of certificates I’d love to give a couple of tips haven’t read all the comments so not sure if someone already mentioned them or not.
    When covering the cake with buttercream frosting best for the cake to be cold and frosting room temp.
    Place the cake board, plate or paper that the cake will be stored on, on the turntable before you put the cake on it to cover and decorate makes for much easier transfer and transportation when needed. (Also tip always make the plate,paper… larger than the base of the cake)
    Putting the icing bag in a tall glass or jar and folding the top over the edges makes putting frosting, icing, filling etc. inside so much easier especially if your doing it alone, the bag stays open and you can keep the top clean for easier refilling and squeezing it out.
    Hope that makes sense ❤
    Absolutely love watching your videos btw 🥰🤗

    My mom used to do a small cake business and I helped her a lot, but when you frost the cake, you're supposed to start with a "crumb coat" which is essentially just a really thin layer of frosting (thin enough that you can see the cake through it), then you refrigerate it for a while and then go back and do more frosting over the crumb coat. It makes the frosting much more even. You can also get a flat spatula, dip it in hot water and run it along the sides and top to make the frosting SUPER smooth looking.

    I'm a home baker who runs a baking business and here's a tip for getting frosting into bags: get the tip into the bag and then put the bag into a tall cup/glass, rounding the bag around the edges. Then you can scoop frosting and get it into the bag with both hands.
    Also, cake boards! You can buy cardboard circles so you don't have to scrape cakes off of the turn tables when you're done!

    Pro tip for the frosting : beat the butter alone first until its white and creamy and then add the powdered sugar little by little.
    Tip for the cake leveler : idk how to explain but basically you place the leveler on the table and just sway front and back and front and back ... or just watch a tutorial (I’m extremely bad at explaining but ok 😂)
    Tip for cake stacking : just cut the same cake in half and there you go , you don’t need to mix and match different pieces . Simply use the same cake

    You could crumb coat your cake if you wanted to be 'professional'. Its a very thin layer of icing used to 'glue' crumbs down and it seal in the cake’s moisture and provides an even base for when you decorate it. You do the crum coat then put it in the fridge and then take it out to decorate it 💕

    Baker here, tip for getting the cake off the turntable: there are these things called cake boards that are little rounds of cardboard you put under your cake. They sell them at craft stores, but you can also make your own out of clean cardboard boxes. I put a little bit of frosting on the turntable, then stick the cake board onto it, then put a little frosting on the center of the cake board, and then the cake, so everything stays put. It makes moving the cake super easy!

      Or use a palette knife to pick it up and set it down. She actually sorta did it the right way. That's how they do it in professional bakeries and that's how they taught me at bakery school. It's not that difficult when you've done it a couple of times. Just stick it in in the middle underneath the cake, angle it up, put your hand underneath, pick it up, set it down and slide the palette right out. :)
