Karolyn, your absolutely fantastic!! Love your videos! I love how your so natural and relaxed in all your instructions and believe me you always keep me calm when I’m trying something you teach! Thank you and don’t stop!! Your a fabulous teacher/designer and I have become so much better Bc of you!
I just love you!! Thank you so much for being so down to earth and sooo helpful. I appreciate everything you share! I’ve been decorating cakes for over 40 years but have always be just basic. I have made your American buttercream and I still cannot use a scraper and get it smooth. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong but obviously I’m doing something wrong. ♥️
I made the perfect burgundy! Once 😂 and now I've had a hard time duping the most perfect burgundy again. I apply the same mixing colors to my business, though I make dip powder products. Thank you 😊
It’s the simple things you do that make me go:”wow, what a cool idea!” Using a needle tool to apply color so as not to waste tooth picks or skewers. Genius!!! Thank you for all that you do for us here on UA-cam!!✌🏾❤️
Karolyn you are so funny I love your video’s, I’m British too like your boyfriend, we say ‘claret’ cla ret pronouncing the T at the end. I don’t know why the sugar paste makers like renshaws don’t do a burgundy paste 🤷🏻♀️ they do do a navy blue over here. That stinking burgundy colour 😂😂😂 keep doing what you do you are a breath of fresh air xx
I'm watching it with my boyfriend (he has seen the whole thing and loves it). Thank God because I'm constantly pausing it and asking him what's going on LOL It's good so far though!
I only use your recipes and people LOVE them! Question- Do you have a gluten free cake recipe? I’m making a baby shower cake and the mom has celiacs so looking for a good vanilla gluten free recipe and a gluten free whipped cream type topping. She wants kinda like a strawberry shortcake type cake but I wanna do a tiered cake so it’s gotta be durable. Thanks 😁
People LOVE The flavors, I am so happy you are able to make them and spread the love! Ugh, I get asked this question so much. I usually refer people to a gluten-free bakery. Sorry I couldn’t help you with that!
Hi Karolyn! You are psychic I swear! I needed navy and BOOM! You released a video! Now i need burgundy and once again BOOM! O,K so i need burgundy Buttercream but i'm hoping it's pretty much the same process!? Is there anyway you could poss do videos on how to get a good red and black at all please!? They are the other 2 colours that just stinkin hate me!! As always, thankyou, we love you, keep up the good work! I use your Birthday cake guide everytime i have to design a cake and it's a life saver! Thankyou again for sharing it with us! Lots a love xoxo
I know what you're thinkinggggg...😂😂 You can do this same process for burgundy buttercream. Just be aware if you add too much coloring to icing, it may affect the flavor and / or texture of the buttercream. Usually when someone wants a dark color, I advise them that it's best to ice the cake with white buttercream and then cover it in fondant. With red and black fondant, I have to add a lot of coloring, which changes the texture of it. So you have to work with it to get it smooth. I'll film it the next time I do it! Here is how I get red buttercream: ua-cam.com/video/hCgMunyJmFA/v-deo.html
@@KarolynsKakes Thankyou so much for the tips and advice! I tried my very best to talk her out of burgundy B/C and told her it'll probably be more of a dark pink but its for cupcakes! 🙄🤦♀️ xoxo
You definitely can! If you have to add too much coloring to icing, it may affect the flavor and / or texture of the buttercream. So just be aware of that. Usually when someone wants a dark color, I advise them that it's best to ice the cake with white buttercream and then cover it in fondant. But some people don't care about their tongues turning different colors and prefer buttercream over fondant LOL
To feed 50, I usually do 3 tiers. Just because I like my cakes to look tall and slim rather than short and wide. I do 5" / 7" / 9" to feed 50. According to basic cake serving charts, you will need 8" / 10" tiers. There are a lot of other options though, you can do tall tiers (double barrel cakes) or whatnot, which would allow you to do smaller tiers.
Thank you for the feedback, I try not to talk too much in the beginning of my videos now. This is a little cringeworthy, but hey, I learn as I go along!
Do you enjoy my tutorials?
I'd be so grateful if you could Buy Me A Coffee!

It’s like you be in my head. I just went and brought some Burgundy color to try to get a good burgundy. Than You!!🥰
I should have said...I tried burgundy coloring and it was NOTHING like this!

I have to get some claret color. I see it in so many color combinations in videos that I watch.
It really is the best!
I just LOVE your channel! Thank you!

I’m so sorry but I don’t make gluten free cakes. I usually refer people to a local bakery when they ask for one. So I’m not sure what to recommend.

@@helenbates2805 Hey, people want what they want! With this color combo, it should turn out darker.
Can u do a video on making this color with buttercream
I just love you!!!!
Aww Grace! I love you too! ☺☺
When you add food coloring to cake or frosting does it change the taste of the cake and or frosting ? Thank you
I think I already answered this for you in a different comment!
Hi Karolyn! Can I use these same colors to make burgundy buttercream as well? Thank you!

👌
❤ can this same technique be used for buttercream?
Yes it can! Just be mindful that color in buttercream usually deepens after it sets so it will be a little darker.

Hi! I have a question, I hope you can help me, what size of molds can I use for a two-tier cake for 50 people? Thank you 🙏
To feed 50, I usually do 3 tiers. Just because I like my cakes to look tall and slim rather than short and wide.
I do 5" / 7" / 9" to feed 50. According to basic cake serving charts, you will need 8" / 10" tiers. There are a lot of other options though, you can do tall tiers (double barrel cakes) or whatnot, which would allow you to do smaller tiers.
@@KarolynsKakes thank you so much 😊
Are there any colors that you can't figure out? Let me know!
Could you please show how to make navy blue and rose gold. Thanks
@@katim1976 I put Rose gold on the list. Here is how I make navy blue!

Thank you so much !!
Thanks Beautiful woman
You are so welcome!
Claret rhymes with carrot 😂
I'll never forget now! 😂
Nope can't see it😂
Add blue instead of black
Thank you! 🙌
@@KarolynsKakes I did this last night.....very little blue and to be honest a dash if black helps....but like 3/4 red for sure
Thank you! Burgundy is the worst
🤣🤣 it really is!
Stop yapping about nothing, your boyfriend, etc to take up more time. Just show us
Thank you for the feedback, I try not to talk too much in the beginning of my videos now. This is a little cringeworthy, but hey, I learn as I go along!
Its claret with a t not clarèt
Thank you!!
Well that was not helpful 😂 you didn't say what color claret is so ( I'm going to hope that's the purple and see what happens)
Sorry about that! Claret is a pinkish burgundy.
@@KarolynsKakes thank you so much 😊 it's gorgeous 🥰
I can't see what is on your face
Thank God LOL
It was a giant pimple that wouldn’t go away! 🤣🤣
