0:25 FIRST TIP : How to bake lunch box cakes. She uses a silicone mold with 6 spaces. You can stack the cakes after if you'd like. The mold spaces look to be about 4 inches each. This method you can use all the batter. OR 0:58 Use the one sheet pan method and use a cookie cutter to cut out the shape you'd like. With this method, you'll have extra cake pieces left over and you can use it to make cake pops or to eat. 1:33 SECOND TIP : TRY TO MAKE EVERYTHING AHEAD OF TIME So you can concentrate on just decorating and icing your cakes the day that you need them. Cakes can be stored in the freezer as well as most frostings. Slice the layers so they're easy for stacking later. Put parchment paper between each later so they can be pulled apart easily when ready to use and wrap cakes in plastic wrap. These keep in the refrigerator for a few weeks and will still be really tasty. Her buttercream was stored in the freezer in an airtight container and will stay nice for a few months. 1:53 Buttercream can be thawed overnight in the fridge and then brought to room temperature (usually a couple hours before using.) 2:37 DECORATING SUCH SMALL CAKES The freezer not only helps preserve the cakes, it also helps them get really firm so when you get to decorating, they're not going to flop everywhere and the crumbs won't get everywhere. 3:00 TIP 3 FOR THE LARGER CAKES you can use straws or a skewer to stabilize the layers. They'll help keep the cake still when decorating and you can remove them later on. 3:23 BRIEF OVERVIEW OF DECORATING Put down a piece of parchment paper and then some buttercream to cement that first layer to the parchment. She's using the buttercream as a dam to put some sauce in the middle of the layer. This will prevent the sauce from leaking because it's not as firm as BC. You can do this method or pipe a circle around the perimeter of that first cake round. Then place on your second layer and proceed to do a crumb coat as usual. Do a thin layer of frosting along the top, secure with straw/skewer so the cake doesn't shift about and place some frosting along the sides. Once the sides are done, finish the top but pulling the frosting foward towards the middle. 4:30 Let the cakes chill out in the fridge first before you do the 2nd coat or top coat. For these little cakes it's easier to do a semi naked look. It's very difficult to get a thick layer of frosting turn out really really straight along the sides because of the small size. Any deviation makes the cake look a bit lopsided. So she went with a semi naked look for all the cakes. 4:55 TIP 4 HARD TO FROST CAKE STYLES If you dont want to first cakes, try these two styles. The heart cakes will be naked cakes. You'll leave the sides exposed and only put frosting on the insides and top. This is great for shapes that are difficult to frost cleanly. Just use whatever piping tip you want. She's using a round tip but you can use a star. 6:04 LAST STYLE for hard to frost cakes Layered cake that fits exactly in the container. You don't have to use the piping bag if you dont want to, you can just dollop some frosting inside. Add your second layer, smooth out the frosting and you're done.

I just came across this channel and at around 4.25 you say, "now as you guys suggested..." I love that you take the time to listen/read your followers' advice 🙃 Much love from Kenya
I teach a cooking class for kids and wanted to make mini cakes for them to decorate. Will definitely use the filling idea as well as the clam shell containers.
EXCELLENT VIDEO... Fantastic. How much would you sell these for? I know Cupcakes but not Mini Cakes. Thank you for sharing this wonderful video... I learned a lot.
Hey Adriana! Great tips for these yummy lil cakes. That salted caramel had my mouth watering! LOL ; ) The Black Forest cake is another scrumptious flavor...who doesn't love cherries?! Have a great night...Big ((Hugs)) and Love from Texas!! xoxo : )
Thanks Kelly 💕🌸💗 Yes I splurged on a black forest for a recent birthday cake... all those canned cherries are expensive! But yeah had to use up all my leftover cherries 😄
You can def use whipped cream for these cakes :) If you have trouble frosting with it, it may be easier to stabilize it with cream cheese or mascarpone or gelatin.
Question. When you take the cake out of the freezer do you let it defrost a little or you go right in to adding the frosting while it’s solid frozen. ❤
Hiya again Adriana I’ve tried the the sheet pans several times every time it comes perfect thank you so much for the recipes coming with another request can you try a marble vanilla and chocolate sheet pan cake pretty please
I love baking I've recently learnt about lunch box cakes I want to bake some of those for my friends birthdays I don't have most of the ingredients at the moment because I'm still in lockdown on the 6th week of lockdown now
I’m fallow u I’m from Russia I love ur Channel so nice I like meek sweet bat not come nice test good bat not street I still learning my self I don’t no I can or no bat I like watch u many think u how nice thank u 🙏
Hi! I attempted these, but the batter I used was way too fragile, and they broke when I took them out of the molds (the same ones you are using I believe). What recipe are you using? Thank you!
So for these I use a couple different recipes - a funfetti box cake mix and my golden butter cake recipe on my website cakeculator. If you want to try you recipe again, is it possible to let it chill in the freezer (in the mold) for a little while to firm up before removing?
I do both - I haven’t found it makes too much of a difference these days. They’re so thin that they don’t take long to thaw by the time you serve them :)
Hi Estelle! So I don't sell my baked goods - check instagram for mini cake sellers, they often list their prices ;) And thanks for joining, so happy to have you here!
I love it! thank you for the video. One question though, are there versatile recipes for this cake? I have been wanting to do this korean lunch box cake with a peach flavor and I was wondering if you came up with such fruity recipes for this same texture
Yeah so I have all my cake recipes in my cakeculator, and I think if you're going for fruity cakes, I find the best way to get that across is with the filling instead of the cake itself. So for a peach cake, I would slice up fresh peaches and lay them in whipped cream inside some vanilla cake. Or if you wanted to go sweet peaches, you could make a peach jam or peach pie filling and then use buttercream to encase it within the cake. Then you have a contrast in not only taste, but texture as well ;)
@@Sugarologie thank you!! I like the sound of this. I tried the slices before but it messed up my cake because it created a gap between the layers and made the cake has the semi-naked look, which wasn’t what I am shooting for. I’ll try the jam idea! Hoping it’ll work. Won’t the jam water down the buttercream? I had previous failure with melting buttercream between layers and I am hoping to avoid it this time 🥺
So when the cakes get out of the freezer and they're super frozen, you don't have to thaw them out or anything? You just put the fillings in and then put it in the fridge for 20 mins? And then place it in the box and finish decorating?
I have been making these, but the problem I have is that they DO MOVE when I am putting in the frosting. Even with skewers, how to prevent that? Unless the skewers go into something under the cake.. I do secure with buttercream. Help!
It's whatever you want it to be! I do 2 layers because that's what fits in my takeout boxes, but a three layer cake would be gorgeous. There's no specific way, and I think the more you are creative with these, the better they will look :)
So usually I don't freeze cream cheese buttercream, I don't think it should be an issue, but most buttercreams last for many weeks in the freezer in an airtight container. :)
Sure - at least a few days - check out my freezing cakes video if you want to see the effect on keeping cakes in the chiller. Only thing is make sure wrapping is airtight :)
So if you’re just doing cakes I would recommend the silicone molds. If you plan on doing a little baking such as cake pops or cakes at Kohl’s then I love to use the half sheet tray method. And as far as working with frozen cake that’s fine... but the buttercream should be at room temp before using it.
Do you have a link to what cookie cutter you use when using the sheet cake method I checked your website but didn’t see any recommendations. Thank you!
Thank you for the tips😍 but I wanted to ask about the buttercream, I did it before and it was perfect at first but then it started melting I don’t know why😞
This vid may help as I go over it in the end, but typically you can ice it right away or wait until it's still cold, but not frozen. ua-cam.com/video/vCNgT3jERDI/v-deo.html

Can we use whipped cream for lunch box/bento cakes or is there any problem in using whipped cream for these cakes??

I've recently learnt about lunch box cakes I want to bake some of those for my friends birthdays

Thank you so mucchhh 💜💜💜
Aww you're welcome. Enjoy your cute cakes 💕
Really loved it....🥰
❤️❤️❤️

Yummy. So cute
Woww 👏👏👏
So do you frost while frozen or slightly defrosted.. and how don you defrost? In the fridge or outside? So many questions!!!😍😍😍
I do both - I haven’t found it makes too much of a difference these days. They’re so thin that they don’t take long to thaw by the time you serve them :)
What size is perfect for mini/lunchbox/bento cakes?
So nice. How much would price theses cake?
Good morning. My name is Estelle from Namibia 🇳🇦. Wow I loved your videos, ideas everything. How much do you charge such a mini cake lunch box
Hi Estelle! So I don't sell my baked goods - check instagram for mini cake sellers, they often list their prices ;) And thanks for joining, so happy to have you here!
Would you have to put an ice pack or something if you wanted to pack this in a kids lunch if their lunch is at 12:44 and you made it in the morning?
I love it! thank you for the video. One question though, are there versatile recipes for this cake? I have been wanting to do this korean lunch box cake with a peach flavor and I was wondering if you came up with such fruity recipes for this same texture
oh and if possible, I would LOVE to know your recipes, the cake recipe, the lemon curd, and the buttercream! THANKS
Yeah so I have all my cake recipes in my cakeculator, and I think if you're going for fruity cakes, I find the best way to get that across is with the filling instead of the cake itself.

You just put the fillings in and then put it in the fridge for 20 mins? And then place it in the box and finish decorating?
So I let them thaw just a little, but not much. They are still pretty firm when decorating.
Hola el contenido de tu canal me encanta 👍👍nunca pongo comentario xq no se inglés saludos desde México 🙋
¡Hola y bienvenido! muy agradecido de tenerte aquí!
Awsome.whats price plz guide for business.
Awesome .... Just one point , wat would the approx weight of the cake.
I have been making these, but the problem I have is that they DO MOVE when I am putting in the frosting. Even with skewers, how to prevent that? Unless the skewers go into something under the cake.. I do secure with buttercream. Help!
how long should i bake them for with the silicon mold?
I baked my cakes at 350 F for about 18 minutes. You can start checking at 15 minutes just in case ;)
How many layers the Korean cake should be? Because I see some ppl make 2 or 3 layers,is there a specific or exact height ? Like the size 4 inch ?
It's whatever you want it to be! I do 2 layers because that's what fits in my takeout boxes, but a three layer cake would be gorgeous. There's no specific way, and I think the more you are creative with these, the better they will look :)
I hace a question, how long does a cream cheese buttercream lasts in the freezer?
So usually I don't freeze cream cheese buttercream, I don't think it should be an issue, but most buttercreams last for many weeks in the freezer in an airtight container. :)
I really wanna try these lunchbox 🎂 with my mom
Too cute!!! I need to try it, too cute to sale 😅
You should! These little cakes are even more adorable in person ;)
Love these mini cakes! How much cake batter is used in each silicone cavity?
About 1.5 scoops from an OXO cookie scoop :) I will post another video with more details about this process in a few days!
Nice 🙂
Thanks 😋
You have the prettiest eyes!
Oh my goodness you're too nice
may i know how to defrost the cake? and also the cake itself is buttercake? or chiffon cake
Can I store these cakes in the chiller instead of a freezer?
If yes, how long can it last?
Sure - at least a few days - check out my freezing cakes video if you want to see the effect on keeping cakes in the chiller. Only thing is make sure wrapping is airtight :)
@@Sugarologie thank you very much for the reply. Heading over to check out the vid!
Does the paper the cake is on not mush up the sides of the cake? Or is that kind of excepted with these mini cakes?
How long does it take to bake the cakes in the silicone molds ?
About 18-22 mins, depending on the recipe - just think of them like flatter cupcakes ;)
Should I keep the frozen cake and the buttercream out of the freezer for couple minutes before using them? Bc I am thinking about starting a business
And do you recommend using silicone molds or the tray method.
Thanks 😊
So if you’re just doing cakes I would recommend the silicone molds. If you plan on doing a little baking such as cake pops or cakes at Kohl’s then I love to use the half sheet tray method. And as far as working with frozen cake that’s fine... but the buttercream should be at room temp before using it.
Do you have a link to what cookie cutter you use when using the sheet cake method I checked your website but didn’t see any recommendations. Thank you!
Do you have a recipe for yor caramel. I can never get mine that color
How long can they stay in fridge once decorated?
How long do I bake for
Thank you for the tips😍 but I wanted to ask about the buttercream, I did it before and it was perfect at first but then it started melting I don’t know why😞
Size of cake and box.
What is the size of the parchment paper that’s inside the box? Or do you just size that yourself? (Meaning there’s no specific size)
Hey I’m new to baking how long do wait to ice the cake after taking it out of the freezer
This vid may help as I go over it in the end, but typically you can ice it right away or wait until it's still cold, but not frozen.
