How to Make Chocolate Lace Cake Wraps
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 лип 2024
- In another video, I showed you how to make chocolate lace doilies for dressing up ordinary dessert plates. Are you ready now to take lace to the next level? Great! I thought so! Here, I demonstrate how to stand lace on end and wrap it around plain ol' iced cakes to lend extra pizzazz. As it turns out, wrapping is also a handy way to conceal any minor icing flaws - that is, if you ever happen to have any! ;)

NOTES ON CHOCOLATE USED:
I prefer to use a premium couverture chocolate because its relatively high cocoa butter content gives it great flow-ability and mouth-feel. Brands I most often use are Callebaut, Valrhona, Ghirardelli, and Guittard. I avoid the usual store-bought brands like Nestle and Hershey's, as well as candy melts, as they don't flow as well and are more waxy due to non-cocoa butter fat substitutes. They also set a lot faster, which may make it harder to pipe the entire lace piece before it hardens.
NOTES ON CUTTING CAKES WITH CHOCOLATE WRAPS:
To minimize chocolate breakage, I use a hot knife (heated in the flame on my stovetop) to cut these cakes. Even so, some breakage is likely to occur - that's just the nature of piped chocolate! But I make the best of it by using the pretty chocolate shards as plate garnish. And no worries about the underlying icing - once exposed, it will still look quite neat.

I just have to say, KUDOS! THANK YOU! To all these professional people, regardless of what tutorial they present in sharing their experiences and know how to teach the rest of us so we, too, can learn their art. Lots of classes you have to pay for and some don't come cheap. These wonderful people are teaching for FREE!! They surely don't have to, but they do. So many THANKS to them. You are greatly appreciated!!!
I've always been fascinated by these cake collars, they are so gorgeous! They take a simple cake into a whole new level. Beautiful work Julia.
It's so great when you talk us through your mistakes and helpful prevention tips. Thank you so much! With your instruction, I have hope of making this myself!
"..because I'm rather fussy..". love it! Truly appreciate your attention to detail in each of your videos. You're very easy to learn from and a joy to watch. thanks much!
¡You are amazing, you are an artist! I love your job ♡
Thank you soooo much... One of the BEST cake videos I've seen. I'm going to make my wedding cake with butter cream frosting; however, did not want a whole blob of sugar rosettes piped with frosting. You have solved my problem. The chocolate lace is beautiful and I can do this with edible roses. Thanks Again.
Julia, I watched your chocolate doily video several months ago and was so impressed! I tried it soon thereafter. You make it look so easy!! Thank you for this lovely chocolate cake wrap video. I'm so excited to give it a go. -Tracie
Great, I hope it goes well, and thanks for the kind words.
This is the most beautiful cake I have ever seen. You are so talented. Thank you for sharing. I will try this
You make it look so easy.Hopefully mine will be just as clean.
Thanks for this
Simply Elegant Wooow You are a great teacher, thank you for sharing with us your beautiful talent, you always make it seem so simple and easy that I want to bake, decorate and eat all those yummy desserts you show us :0)
Really really neat cake! Looks super fun & stunning in the end! Thanks for the inspiration
Just gorgeous Julia. I love the vintage, lacey feel you get with this method. It made evan a grocery store cake look quite elegant. Thank you for sharing this.
Thank you for sharing! Great work! :)
AMAZING! I am in awe and gratitude for your wonderful video. Thank you so much for sharing the tutorial. Such gorgeousness!
Absolutely elegant, Julia!
Thanks for sharing!
This is a wonderfully thorough tutorial - thank you so much for this, I can't wait to try this!
Julia, you are truly a master, and I thank you so much for sharing your talent with us! You are truly amazing. I am looking forward to attempting my first lace wrap now. With as old as this video is, and with as many comments as there are (which I do not have time to read through), I'm sure someone else has addressed this, but just in case - please wrap Press & Seal on edible flower stems or use posey picks. Stems should never be placed directly into cake, edible or otherwise. :) Sweetest regards!
TUD muito lindo ameiiii
Júlia, thank you for the lesson I'll try!!!! You are very talent!!!!
This cake is beautiful!!!!!
Perfeito!
Parabéns.
When you cut the cake, does the outer lace crumble and break off or will it mainly stay in its shape?
Thanks!
oh my goodness beautiful cake I whould love to be able to do that I'm hoping maybe you or friends might be interested in paintings I do painting I will show you in a week or two
Absolutely amazing! That's one of the most beautiful cakes I've ever seen. I will never do this but watched the whole thing because it really is fascinating how she made that lace and got it on the cake. Really beautiful.
Julia,I have been decorating for 20 yrs now,and have never done a lace wrap before. This was absolutely stunning. It really is a work of art. I love the way you teach,precise and to the point.I definately want to try it,and see how it comes out. thank you for a great tutorial!
you are amazing!
and how i cut the cacke without cracking the chocolate in 1000 pices?
Hot + sharp knife?
Incredible, just incredible
Fabulous tutorial, you make it look so easy, and what stunning results! I'm so glad I found your channel.
Amazing! Its easier to use just melted choc as opposed to using tempered.
I recently found your tutorials and am totally inspired to try so many of them...I love how you make it so simple for even us beginners to follow and give confidence to us, showing that even a seasoned pro can make little errors. The fact that when something doesnt quite go right you dont cut it from the video but allow us to see how you correct it...that is awesome teaching! I'm totally hooked...tried finding your cookie books but our bookstores are all out :(
Cant wait to see the next video! thanks
Absolutely beautiful! You're an amazing artist!
You are GENIUS! How gorgeous
Oh my goodness. You make everything so simple. I've been watching your videos all morning and I feel like, even as a beginner I can accomplish most of your decorating techniques. I have a few that are my favorite and I can not wait to try out. Thanks so much for making these videos!
Not only are you very talented, but you are an excellent instructor! You have a pleasant voice to listen to. You keep things moving at a wonderful pace and throw in all those tips and tricks... fantastic job with this video in every way! Wonderful that you share with us all! I wish you wonderful and happy successes! Thank you for sharing yourself with all of us! And of course with magnanimous spirit of courtesy and politeness you answer all your fans! My deep and happy respect to you! I'm so happy I stumbled upon your video. I'm so glad I took the half hour to watch. You are book marked on my computer and subscribed to! Lovely job with the entire thing!
This is beautiful!!!
Omg such a good taste!! Love it!
I very much admire your organisation and logically stepped process in tackling what looks like a very complicated and ornate decoration, to make it achievable! Thank you again, Juila, for your amazing instructional videos!
OMG, It´s so gorgeous and elegant! Love it!
Thank you for your very instructive and detailed tutorial Julia. I love this look and can't wait for a chance to do a whole wedding cake similar to it. You are very talented.
It creates a shadow on the cake which adds dimension . This is awesome. Thanks for sharing.
Julia wonderful technique. His explanation is very didactic. I loved it! I will test in my cakes here in Brazil. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Much success!
This is amazing!!!! I just recently tried doing my own, of course after watching this video about 6 times, and it turned out amazing!! I mean obviously not as amazing as yours but hopefully one day it will look just as fabulous!!!
OMG , thank you so much Julia for sharing with us this interesting technic!🌺🌺🌺
The design is so delicate. Looks brilliant on the white cake. Loved it Julia.
Sua arte é um suntuoso espetáculo !
I tried your lace wrapped cake and it turned out fantastic. I had a couple small breaks in the chocolate, but I covered them with fondant roses. Everyone loved this cake, so thank you so much for your video. You are awesome!
Hi Julia!
I just wanted to say that I love your work! I love how you explain every little detail!
I tried this using the crisscross lace...you make it look so easy and your lines are so straight! I was just practicing and haven't put it on a cake yet can't wait to try it!
thank you so much for such beautiful work and detail video. What a wonderful way to decorate the cake! l finally get the courage to attempt the chocolate lace last weekend. It turned out great! Thank you!
Julia, thank you very much for all your videos. You teach very well and make everything look very do-able. Appreciate all the time you've taken to make these demo's and plan to start learning some of the stuff i've already seen, of yours.
This is fabulous as well as your other ones. You are so pleasant to watch and listen to. You point out what to do if a problem arises ... A few things you pointed out, that were not to your liking, shows us that anyone can mess up and that is ok...you just fix it and keep trying. Thanks for sharing.
I love your taste level and attention to detail. Your videos are excellent! Thank you so much!!
oh my God! You are Amazing......What an art.
thank you sooo much Julia. I'm just about to start my Pastry Academy and you were so inspiring!
You work with passion and love; looking at you working can just make me say "I wanna be like her one day!"
That is gorgeous! You are so talented!
Just exquisite and absolutely immaculate. Thank you SO much for sharing your techniques and for being so thorough. It's nice to hear all the tips and reasoning and method behind all of it. I am definitely going to practice this on my boyfriend's belated birthday cake - what a gorgeous way to sneak in a little Callebaut!
Wow so beautiful pattern!!
Getting in love with this!!😍
This is amazing! I can't wait to try this out!
What an awesome idea! I cannot wait to try this for my next cake! Great tips and very clear tutorial.
Your cakes are simply gorgeous. Love your videos. They are very informative. Thank you so much for sharing Julia.
I LOVE IT! I"ll try to make it next time! thanks for sharing
Me encanto gracias. Por compartir
sos una genia, soy de ARGENTINA, mis saludo y respeto,gracias por compartir tus maravillas
Omg I love it! So elegant and classy
Thank u so much for sharing your amazing talent.
By the way, you can try making henna tattoo the same method of decorating with this chocolate! It's fun if you're interested in such hand decorations
Thank you so much. I really enjoyed your tutoring. Your background items and decorations are lovely too. It is such a pleasure to watch. You are awesome.
This looks so amazing i cant wait too try it out.... thanks for shareing
Julia, it´s so amazing! Thank you so much for your great videos!!!
One question, is it possible to wrap the chocolate around a cake which was previously covered with fondant or marzipan?
Hi Chef Julia, I love your videos and the way you explain things it is so easy to follow. Thanks for being a good teacher.
You are just a wealth of knowledge. Thank you for your time!!!!! I am so excited to try this tomorrow!
I also like how you show us your mistakes, and what you would do to address them.
You are so welcome!
I try to address mistakes if I make them when shooting, but I don't always, so I don't always have the opportunity to explain them. Since I pay a crew a lot to shoot and edit these videos, I try to capture the key steps of how to make things correctly first. If there's time, I can make mistakes and address them - but there usually isn't much. But I'll consider devoting more videos or parts of them to explaining mistakes.
Please show me what you make! I would be very interested to see!
Muito lindo seu trabalho.... Parabéns 👏
Wow! That's beautiful!
Simplesmente maravilhoso!!
Wow! That looks stunning. Can't wait to try it out for myself! Thanks for the detailed instructions - thanks for this fantastic video :)
So beautiful!!! Thank you for sharing!!!! Love it!!!!
Absolutely stunning!! You have a natural gift of teaching simply, that even a novice like myself feels confident enough to give this lace wrap a try. I just discovered your site and am already addicted. Thank you for all the time, and planning that you and your team spend to make these awesome videos.
I tried this for the first time n it came out perfect! The final look of the cake is outstanding ..Wish I could share a picture here.. Thank you for the tutorial:)
That is absolutely beautiful thank you for sharing
Your videos are simply awesome. Thank u so much for your patience in teaching this techique step by step. you are a wonderful teacher.
i so much love this technique....lookinking forward to trying it out
Es realmente maravilloso lo que haces, sobre todo porque esta hecho totalmente a mano, es un trabajo increible, gracias.
I'm surprised that people complain a lot because of you speaking a lot, I love it! Your work is so informative and interesting! Keep up the excellent work, Julia! Can't wait to try this x
Esplêndido. Seu trabalho é maravilhoso. Parabéns!
Thank you for taking the time and effort to tutor us. This is a beautiful cake. I really enjoyed that you explained what you were doing and how. I've seen a lot of videos where they skip over details making it a bit harder to follow. You on the other hand really go into detail without being excessive. An example of this would be when you were dotting the white chocolate. You explained how it was being fussy, fixed it and explained how, explained how to correct minor problems, then moved on. Thanks again!
Amazing!!! I am going to give this a go for a cake I am making for our Easter dinner this weekend...seriously amazing!
That is a piece of art! Beautiful...
You are AMAZING! You are a wonderful Instructor. I loved following you.
Julia you are so talented! I loved watching your video and step by step instructions and tips...Hope to learn more and more from you. Thankyou so much!

I'd just like to take a moment and say that, that is a beautiful cake. I appreciate that you took the time to show how you did the detail. As well as you walked us through everything as you were doing it. I am not up to "lace cakes' quite yet lol but will definitely be trying this once I'm ready. Keep up the good work.
