    Thumbs up for showing a new technique for achieving sharp cake edges, haven't seen anyone do this yet and it looks pretty cook, although I feel it is easier -- and just as sharp -- to just pull in the edges over the top when soft. Also, it would be helpful to zoom in to the edge when showing the technique and finished results.

    Thank you Georgia! Every July I have to make 3 cakes (2 children's birthdays and a party for both kids in the space of a week) and I always wing it then cover with sprinkles! I have been watching your videos, got myself a basic kit and made one this evening and it is SO much better looking than usual! Now I won't be so scared. Plus the kids loved the test cake I made with your recipe x

    Hi Georgia, I am a massive fan of your videos! Keep them coming!
    I quite often make cakes for people's birthdays but I am often quite busy the day before I need to deliver them! I almost always freeze my cake layers anyway but I am wondering if you have ever frozen a decorated cake? (with Swiss meringue buttercream). This would be a game changer! Perhaps you could do a video on it? Also how do you transport a cake in the car? How long can decorated cakes store and how? Fridge? Room temp? Many thanks xx

    @amandagaskins3532 5 років тому +1

    Another great tutorial! I was wondering when/if you use chocolate ganache to ice your cakes? I often have problems when I buttercream my cakes then cover them with fondant. I find the fondant puckers and bubbles as the buttercream comes to room temp?! X

    • @salome5654
      @salome5654 5 років тому

      Amanda Price I have the Same problem! I use ganache

    • @GeorgiasCakes
      @GeorgiasCakes  5 років тому +1

      I sometimes use ganache - I find either one is great to mask a cake with. I don't use fondant so can't relate to that unfortunately! I think if the buttercream is cold and set before applying the fondant then it should be fine!

    Another amazing tutorial, thank you !! Can I just ask...When I’m covering my cakes in buttercream , as I scrape, sometimes more holes appear...can you tell me what I’m doing wrong ?! It’s very frustrating 😫 Thanks Georgia xx

    • @elx2134
      @elx2134 5 років тому +1

      Sometimes check if your scraper has any little frays on it, which can tear the cake. There may not be enough icing in one spot that it formed essentially a pocket of air initially before you scraped it. So just adding a little more icing on the holes and going over and over on the cake slowly and making sure you stay vertical really helps.

    • @IMP3TIGO
      @IMP3TIGO 4 роки тому

      One thing you could try is to heat up your bench scraper or edge tool by dipping it in warm/hot water (and then drying) before you work on the sides/top as that will slightly melt the surface, including the imperfections.

    Hi Georgia, would this technique still work with Buttercream made with just Butter and Icing Sugar, and a dash of Milk (American Buttercream)? xx

  • @Amy-un6xg
    @Amy-un6xg 2 роки тому

    I know I'm 3 years late, but figured it's still worth asking: do you leave the cake in the freezer OR fridge for 5 minutes, prior to scraping the excess frosting from the top? First, she said freezer then she said fridge. Maybe it doesn't make a difference but want to make sure it's not too cold that it breaks off.

I live in New Zealand where butter is too yellow & sugar too gritty so you can never get nice looking white buttercream like yours! Please heeeeeelp! 😻
