This is a real cake. Take a look at it in the beginning. I've been decorating cakes for almost 20 years and I have to say you are very good. Because of arthritis, I had to change my specialization to scenery/themed type cakes. Hope you take care if your wrists!
In the UK the traditional wedding cake was fruit cake covered in royal icing. I'm not sure if this is as popular today as it was in the past, but royal icing kept the cake moist and you could do incredibly intricate designs with royal icing. If interested, do a youtube search for Elaine MacGregor to see some of the detailed work she was teaching in the 80s.
I know this a long time ago, but do people actually request for royal frost cakes anymore? I've noticed the majority of cakes now are either butter creams and fondant. Only cakes I see anymore that are royal frost, are the fake portion of wedding cakes, and actual cake part is frosted in butter cream.
Yes, buttercream works well, but here she is using royal icing. And you can't mix these two because fat (butter) will melt royal icing. Working with royal icing takes more practice, in my opinion, because consistency is everything.
To Samantha, Please accept my heartfelt condolences, for your family. So sorry to hear that Charlotte has left this earth. She will be missed by all of those who admired her beautiful cake work, even though we have never met her nor, even, seen her dear face, as we know her only from this video. As GingerCarol has said movingly, it is so painful to lose a sister, an unfathomable loss. I also lost a brother in law, who I knew my whole life, was a brother, truly. My thoughts move from pain of missing him to gratitude for having him in my life, for who he was and how he was in the world with everyone he met, kind and curious, sweet and talented. I imagine your sister was like this too, from her voice and the care she put into her teaching and her craft.
My mum put a few drops of glycerin to make it flow? forgive me watched/helped her bake Xmas cakes/puddings when I was growing up 55yrs ago I'm now in late 60`s. God bless you Charlotte R.I.P
This cake was done by my very talented sister Charlotte. You was taught so many your amazing talent. You will be sadly missed by many. I love and miss you. RIP Charlotte xxxxxxxxxxx love Samantha xxxxxxx
+gingercarol Charlotte sadly passed away aged 38 on 5/5/16. Her talent was amazing . She was one of life's greatest and I was proud to say that she was my sister xxxxx
+Samantha Morrow I am so very sorry, Samantha. One of my dearest friends is a psychoanalyst and he told me some years ago that the only pain worse than losing a child to death is to lose a sister to death, because our children see us always as older, our grandchildren see us as just plain old, our husbands, no matter how old we get, usually see the woman they fell in love with, our parents always see us as children no matter how old we are, but it is only our siblings who know who we are in our own right, who knew who we were as children, then as teens, then as young adults, then as middle aged women with grown children of our own and finally as senior citizens. The same is true for brothers. I have 3 sisters of my own and while we are not nearly as close as I wish we were, I cannot begin to imagine living without them, and I certainly cannot comprehend the utter devastation of losing a sister as young as Charlotte. Bless your heart, Samantha. One day, one night at a time, Dear. I suppose that's how we make it through such terrible grief, that and a boatload of faith and knowing this is not the end of life, just a change in direction with more to learn and more to do. I believe that with every fiber of my being. Selfishly, I so wish she had made more videos to share with the world. I know the sound of her voice, the way she moves her hands, but I do not know her face, the color of her eyes, the length of her hair or the shape of her smile. I wish I knew those things and so much more about her. It was a brilliant, stunning moment when I realized that a person on the other side of the ocean moved me so deeply from one little video that I actually wanted her friendship and now, tonight, I actually feel an emptiness inside of me. She must be a magical, blessed and wonderful woman indeed. I pray your connection with the Divine creator brings you peace, and I also pray that your other family and friends bring you a modicum of comfort. My heart aches for you. Blessed be, Samantha. Blessed be.
Nice cake. But I think the video was useless as a tutorial, because you can only see the work after its done, you carnt see how she did it. Shame. But maybe she'll re film it, with the camera behind/next to her so we can see how it's done...
this was pure art! I watched this like it was a movie. I'm a newbie to cake decorating so please excuse my question. Royal icing is brittle when it dries right? If so, when the cake is cut, does it crack?
gingercarol You are right, I was thinking that at the time, it was difficult to get an angle that showed everything, could have done with another camera. I've tried to get her to do more videos, as she is so skilful and a great teacher.
+LauriShowler Oh, Lauri, is it true? Has Charlotte passed away? God, my heart is broken if it's true what Samantha Morrow posted earlier today, and I didn't even know her other than through her video.
yes its true..Charlotte Feve passed away on the 5th May bless her soul sooo sad, and such a loss to her family and friends loved by so many...the best Cake Decorator Hull had ever seen in my eyes...god bless your beautiful soul Charlotte (Charlie) xxx
Great piping technique and designs. I have tried my hands on simple piping and believe me it is not easy and very hard on the hands. I think t he consistency of the icing is important. Thank you Lauri for sharing
First I want to say the video fascinates me. I didn't look away for one second. Such pretty, pretty work. But that ridge of icing on the side of the cake almost drove me mad. I thought for sure she was going to put some kind of decoration on top of it or scrape it away.
As with all Master craftspeople, they make it look like something you might be able to do with a little practice.... realistically you need years and years and years of practice! Amazing.
Very sad to hear about Charlotte, such a talented teacher and lovely person. she really wasn't too keen on making this video, which is why you don't see much of her only the cake. it was fun to make and I'm glad she did it. the popularity of this demonstration is testament to her skill and ability. love to all who had the pleasure of knowing her. x
oh thats a lot of work.a master piece indeed but quite difficult and i notice only one decorating tip was use.the round one.very simple looking design but it took a lot of patience and practice to achieve a very clean result.she is indeed a master cake decorator
This is a real cake. Take a look at it in the beginning. I've been decorating cakes for almost 20 years and I have to say you are very good. Because of arthritis, I had to change my specialization to scenery/themed type cakes. Hope you take care if your wrists!
She really didn't get that ability overnight ...... things like this make me proud to be human ...... pride in excellence.
So much talent. You made it look easy. RIP you will be missed.
You are a master lady. You make it look so simple yet so elegant Thanks so much for sharing your talents!!
This is the one of the most beautiful and perfect cake works
her voice is so soothing
Do not understand why peopke rate this with a thumb down....? Its sooo beautiful and she did a great Job!
What a clever girl, so professional, never seen anyone ice with such a steady hand
WOW!!!! She's terrific!!!!! What a gorgeous cake...
Very beautiful piping!!! I have never tried to make royal icing before. One day I will give it a try.
When she started piping the second pink graduation line, I almost drifted off to sleep, it was so quiet and peaceful.
This girl is AWESOME, mad crazy skills. I can't believe she is dead
one of the best videos I ve seen in a while.......very nice

I know this a long time ago, but do people actually request for royal frost cakes anymore? I've noticed the majority of cakes now are either butter creams and fondant. Only cakes I see anymore that are royal frost, are the fake portion of wedding cakes, and actual cake part is frosted in butter cream.
Ohmygawd. I'd could do that for about 2 seconds before I lost my patience!!!
How do you fix royal icing when your doing a cake and the icing get too soft so I add more icing and now it's too hard
Yes, buttercream works well, but here she is using royal icing. And you can't mix these two because fat (butter) will melt royal icing. Working with royal icing takes more practice, in my opinion, because consistency is everything.
I'm from the USA and I've never seen a royal iced cake. How does it react when you cut it? Does it crack and crumble? Absolutely lovely by the way.
A little bit but not that much if you have a sharp knife
Good work .
looks clean
Pls what did you put to make your cake so white before adding icing
Love it
wowowo so asam ay put laket LOVET DYS DAY ASAM

Thank you for sharing (y)
What are the tips she is using
Wonderfull
I love the dialect :)
Or accent, whatever :)
I know that royal icing dries real hard. But how do you cut a cake after it has been frosted with it?
you use a serrated knife and dip it into hot water before cutting each piece
Katzen Minze TV CVC vhj
Katzen Minze have you a good recipe??
Most Royal icing has liquid glycerin in it which helps prevent it going too to hard:). The more you add the softer it sets
Hello! Tell your prescription cream. If it is possible, and in writing and vidio. Thank you very much. Sorry for the error puts the computer.
LPP
Amazing cake but the camera angles not so great.
Are you from Manchester
this was shot at Hull College I'm not sure about Charlotte's background but sounds like a Hull accent to me.
+LauriShowler lmao there is a hull accent?

She passed away! How awful, prayers to her family.
My mum put a few drops of glycerin to make it flow? forgive me watched/helped her bake Xmas cakes/puddings when I was growing up 55yrs ago I'm now in late 60`s. God bless you Charlotte R.I.P
So yeah, I basically watched 25 minutes of someone decorating a cake. I think I found my favourite thing to do. This was amazing.
This cake was done by my very talented sister Charlotte. You was taught so many your amazing talent. You will be sadly missed by many. I love and miss you. RIP Charlotte xxxxxxxxxxx love Samantha xxxxxxx

+Samantha Morrow I'm so sorry for your loss. Your sister was obviously incredibly talented. My condolences to you and your family.
+Veronica Lamb , thank you very much for your message of condolence. Charlotte was laid to rest today. 💔. Xxx
Nice cake. But I think the video was useless as a tutorial, because you can only see the work after its done, you carnt see how she did it. Shame. But maybe she'll re film it, with the camera behind/next to her so we can see how it's done...
That crease on the side of the cake is maddening - smooth that shit!
this was pure art! I watched this like it was a movie. I'm a newbie to cake decorating so please excuse my question. Royal icing is brittle when it dries right? If so, when the cake is cut, does it crack?
It kinda does. I'm new too but im only good with butter icing .
I so wish her hands had been filmed from a different angle so that rather than only seeing WHAT she did, I could see HOW she did it. She's remarkable!
gingercarol You are right, I was thinking that at the time, it was difficult to get an angle that showed everything, could have done with another camera. I've tried to get her to do more videos, as she is so skilful and a great teacher.
+LauriShowler Oh, Lauri, is it true? Has Charlotte passed away? God, my heart is broken if it's true what Samantha Morrow posted earlier today, and I didn't even know her other than through her video.
Royal Icing is hard work as it span over several days due to various layers and it could be a dummy or using real cake as it is Master Class.
I think this cake is best ever demo, and I am in the process of teaching myself from this video, well done Charlotte Feve and Hull collage
your Icing it's soo soft, i would love to have the recipe!
Can you please post the recipe for this royal icing frosting?
this is actually really cool imo. in the US we don't use royal icing on cake (we use it on like cookies and stuff) so this is interesting to watch
How did you do the Royal Icing? Did you just mix water and poweder sugar? Or what did you do? I want to know it, please show us the recipe
yes its true..Charlotte Feve passed away on the 5th May bless her soul sooo sad, and such a loss to her family and friends loved by so many...the best Cake Decorator Hull had ever seen in my eyes...god bless your beautiful soul Charlotte (Charlie) xxx
Great piping technique and designs. I have tried my hands on simple piping and believe me it is not easy and very hard on the hands. I think t he consistency of the icing is important. Thank you Lauri for sharing
please can someone tell me how she has made the icing she used to pipe the cake? what did she add to the royal icing?? many thanks x
A Beautiful tutorial to watch so talented I can not believe this beautiful young Lady is not with us anymore God bless angel x
she makes it look so easy to write happy birthday
RIP! you were so talented but god has better plans for you.
Bonjour est t'il possible d'avoir la recette du crémage que vous utilisez pour couvrir le gâteau c'est trop bien merci😍
This looks beautiful but I'm confused. If this is royal icing, it all dries hard? How do you cut into the cake?
First I want to say the video fascinates me. I didn't look away for one second. Such pretty, pretty work. But that ridge of icing on the side of the cake almost drove me mad. I thought for sure she was going to put some kind of decoration on top of it or scrape it away.
+gingercarol Me too!
Ooh me tooo 😆😅
+nboese90 You could be right about that. :-) But, truly, it would not have bothered me if the rest of the cake had not been so, so perfect.
What you people don't understand is she's using royal icing.... it gets rock hard within minutes sometimes seconds
yea i agree the cake is beautiful but that annoyed me too she could have smoothed it out while the icing is still wet...but overall beautiful cake
Beautiful!!!! But royal icing get hard like a rock. How can you cut through and eat the cake.. . .
As with all Master craftspeople, they make it look like something you might be able to do with a little practice.... realistically you need years and years and years of practice! Amazing.
Everything about this video was captivating...got all teary eyed as she said "that's the end of the cake"...RIP my dear
I accidentally came across a this video, so glad I did. Going to look her up, hope she has her own channel.
Very sad to hear about Charlotte, such a talented teacher and lovely person. she really wasn't too keen on making this video, which is why you don't see much of her only the cake. it was fun to make and I'm glad she did it. the popularity of this demonstration is testament to her skill and ability. love to all who had the pleasure of knowing her. x
What happened to her?

I love this, what is you royal icing recipe?
such a world class demonstration.. as a beginner. it helps me a lot.. Thanks Charlotte... we will miss u
What type of icing do you use to make a rose/flower only when i use buttercream it isnt firm enough and falls apart
can you share a recipe for this royal icing
it’s powdered sugar and meringue power or egg white. All royal icing is made essentially the same way and there’s 100000000 videos on UA-cam
That's amazing! Very talented! She was born to decorate cakes!
Nice one
Wow what's the full recipe of d icing
Thats a Really Good one! Thanks for sharing such a wonderful video. :-)
Beautiful cake!! You are so talented!!! And your accent sounds just like Daisy on Downton Abbey:)
I am so impressed!! I have never seen such awesome decorating from such a young* cake decorator... I am thoroughly impressed... and jelous
What is the drip of icing on the side of the cake that you forgot too smoothe all about...your scrolls look nice....
I am so very sorry that this beautiful talented girl died.It makes your heart bleed.
What? How?
And they would ask why decorated cakes are expensive..
It's an art you can eat tbh
It would be nice if what you are doing is visible. It sounded like a theory class.
