I am so happy it has helped out. That is great to hear that you are making an edible cell model out of cake. If you need to shape the cake into a design, I would recommend freezing the cake before you sculpt your shape as it will be easier to work with. Have fun with this!
Is there something I can do if the Betty Crocker frosting right out of the can is too hard and I’m ripping the cake as I try to put on the crumb layer?
Sorry to hear that you are having trouble with this. I bet it was frustrating. I have a couple of ideas on how to help you out, but I need a bit more information to make sure my recommendation will work. Was the can of frosting stored somewhere cold? Was the frosting opened long before frosting the cake? Is the frosting beyond the best before date? When you applied the frosting to the cake, was there always frosting between the cake and the spatula? Once I know more, I can give you a better recommendation to help you.
Thanks. You could certainly whip the frosting before putting it on. However, if you don't have an electric mixer or don't have time, you could put it on right from the can. I do it both ways. Happy Baking!
@MamasPricelessParties Thanks for responding. I ended up putting it directly from the can to the cake. Turned out pretty goo. I will definitely whip it up next time to see if I can pipe it. Thanks again 😊
If you are going to pipe it, I would suggest thickening it up with icing sugar (confectioners' sugar). The piping designs will hold better. I have a tutorial on it. ua-cam.com/video/XPSBwyn31cw/v-deo.html
Thank you! I have not used Blue Bonnet before so I am not sure on that one. Other than butter, I have used baking spray or Wilton cake release for pans that are very detailed, such as a character pan. Hope that helps.
Before you put the cake mix in the pans put butter or margarine but you must put a small amount of flour in the pan then the cake comes out of the pans easy.
I have not made that size cake before. However, if I did I would slightly increase the time used for a 9x13 cake pan shown on the back of the box. So, I would check the cake at around 30 minutes. Insert the toothpick into the center of the cake and if it comes out clean, the cake is done. If not, put the cake back in the oven for a couple more minutes and recheck. Hope that helps.
@@MamasPricelessParties I did research and made the cake in an 11x7 casserole dish late last night and came out taller and moist by decreasing to 325 (box says 350) and baked for 55 min with 3 toothpick checks (so maybe 50 min without opening oven door). I initially set timer for 30 minutes, then another 15 min and then 10 minutes for a total of 55 minutes with three oven openings to check. Just thought I’d share for those who have smaller households and want to make a smaller cake with a Betty Crocker cake mix. Thank you for replying and happy Monday.👍👍👍🤗🤗🤗 .

Hi, loved the detailed video. Very beginner friendly. About the frosting, can we whip it up? Or do you advise putting it as it is from the can?

Very good presentation, i found it especially helpful. Can i brush the pan with Blue Bonnet oleo or spray Crisco or another brand cooking spray?

Hello, what’s the time if I used a Betty Crocker cake mix in an 11x7 pan, as I like my cake tall (thick) HELP ,

Insert the toothpick into the center of the cake and if it comes out clean, the cake is done. If not, put the cake back in the oven for a couple more minutes and recheck. Hope that helps.
