The tutorial was awesome! The cake came out beautifully and the instruction were clear. I watched a few of your videos and I must say I am impressed with your cake and decorating skills.
Another trick for loading bags is to put down a layer of cling wrap. Put the buttercream on the cling wrap and roll it up like a sausage. Put this into your piping bag. This works particularly well when you are loading multiple colors into the bag.
Very clear video! If you're finding shelf liners aren't "stay still" enough, use a piece of Dycem. This weird rubbery stuff is sold in rolls and is often used by OTs and PTs, but it works great for keeping basically anything in place without gluing or taping it down. It's nearly infinitely reusable, so one roll will last you years. I use it in my cake carrier to keep cakes and cupcakes still for transporting, under cutting boards, to keep cat food dishes from sliding on a slick floor... So many options!
These hacks are amazing. But decorating cake with sprinkles are still one of my favorites and easy way. Meanwhile, quality and themed sprinkles are hard to find. Last month i bought sprinkles from fancy sprinkles, i loved their quality and taste. It made my cupcakes more delicious.
Really enjoying your channel as a future baker. And first time I actually saw how decorated cake is going to the freezer. I should try this hack myself also. I couldn’t imagine how decorated cake is packed and putted to the freezer.
Cake strips. They've saved me endless fretting and I could give away my gadget for slicing the tops off. Cake strips are easy to make, too. Wet paper towels encased in foil, wrapped tight around the pans. Cake layers separate from the side of the pans and come out nice and flat, and without that browned layer on top. Lifesaver!
@@chuckwelser9610 Take a measurement of the outside of your cake pan. Then lay out aluminum foil a few more inches than that. Take paper towels, fold them to a size that covers the side of your pan, and wet them thoroughly. Lay them end to end down the foil, then fold the foil over them. Press down to seal all the way to the end, wrap the strip around your pan, and use the overlapping foil to fold together and seal the ring closed. Then bake it. You'll be amazed. :)
At 2:22 I gasped as I wish I had thought about that when I was at working icing cupcakes for a childs birthday using buttercream icing. Thanks for doing this video
I think serving a cake that is still VERY cold from freezer(but not frozen-more al dente) just makes it taste richer. Especially if it is a cream cheese base frosting. Did this for my self decorated wedding cake, when still partially frozen, it traveled well to the ceremony site too. Thank you, thank you, thank you for posting.
That's right! One of the Best additives are lemon Juice (for cream cheese or fruit cakes), coffee (for coffee cakes of course, or tiramisu) or alcohol+lemon Juice (for everything with buttercream)
Great tips! 👍🏻👍🏻 When you do a cake a day before and refrigerate it, do we have to cover it? Can we do a cake a day before using fresh whipping cream and fruits (and fruit compote) between each layer?
Amazing....I do eat a keto diet so I don't buy cakes out this will be a blessing for my children I will just use alternative ingredients like monk fruit and place of the sugar and cassava flour what tapioca flour or almond flour in place of white flour I can make my own buttercream I just need the decoration squeezy thing 😆thanks for sharing.
I’ve always found that adding syrup to an already sweet cake batter just to make it moist is kind of an overkill. Especially if you plan on icing it with American buttercream which is basically butter and yet again sugar. Just make batter with oil or butter and learn when it’s best to take it out of your oven, don’t over-bake. And if it’s a biscuit batter - ice it with heavy cream between layers, it will take in the moisture like a sponge.
But here’s the thing? It doesn’t make it taste more sugary. It adds sugar but u can’t taste it. Also simple syrup is more of a long term thing, it sokes in over time and Jeep it extremely moist. It also makes it extremely moist when first using it.
@@3m3c7 that’s simply not true. It makes a difference whether you have one cube of sugar in your coffee, two or three. The difference might not be noticeable on a cake if you add a dash of it, but in this video she poured “an equal amount of sugar into the water” which is about 200-300 g from what I see. That’s like the double amount of what she probably used to make that batter. You can’t not notice that when you eat it, unless you like it and use American buttercream, which would be yet again about 1 kg of sugar. I mean, I tried syrup long time ago, even added flavors to it, and it was an abomination, then I reduced the sugar but in the end I could’ve used water. It can help if you have a dry cake, but imo not over-baking is the best way to get a moist cake 😊
@@D.A.A.321 your statement isn’t true either didn’t I say it adds sugar? You def cannot taste it in the cake I add a good amount and use American buttercream, my cake is just right. Your not going to put the whole batch in one cake...or you could just have a good recipe in the first place. I think your projecting, there’s no way you think she’s going to put the whole pan of simple syrup in one cake? My lord.
You're right @AsMoose After = it would definitely be very sweet and soggy if I added the whole pan of simple syrup to one cake. You only need a small drizzle and it really helps keep the cake moist if you're not going to eat it for a few days. If I'm going to eat the cake the same day I bake it I don't use the simple syrup but it usually takes me a few days to frost and decorate and film a cake (while my toddlers are napping so I don't have much time each day) so by the time I eat it or give it to someone else to eat, I want it to still taste good
@@BritishGirlBakes I stand corrected. Thank you, I understand now! I tend to serve the cake the same day oder later next day. God bless your children and your hands, keep up the good work ❤️
I use two scrapers - a white plastic extra tall bench scraper by Ateco (bought on amazon and the link is in my amazon storefront - www.amazon.com/shop/britishgirlbakes) and a clear acrylic one from www.cakesafe.com
@@BritishGirlBakes Hi. Thanks for your videos. I am traying to buy the tall Ateco Scraper, but the one on Amazon is 7.5 tall. Is that the one you have?
@@CN-wn1dw sounds good. ill put that down for a video to address. its really quite easy but i remember my first one being scared it would fall too lol. once you see how easy it is and with practice you will do great! subscribe and stay tuned!!
Hi Emily! Love your work! :-) How do you make it that the parchment paper doesn't peel back the buttercream when you pull the paper off after adding the confetti? Thank you for the tutorial!
I know this has nothing to do with this cake but you are my favorite person ever I was asked to make a jeep cake one that's standing up with buttercream icing and I've never done it before I need help.
Such a crisp and absolutely clear video. I hope all beginners jump to see this first before making blunders! Very well demonstrated 👏
Thank you so much!

Have you done any side by side studies as to whether freezing the cake for up to a month affects the taste or consistency of the layers of the cake?
I am planning to make cake this week and this video helps me a lot.
