Ive spent the last few months covering these videos really and reposting back to other posters. I think its nice to educate people on these things, when i started cake decorating, i never knew you could use alcohol, and lots of other things really. People are harsh to judge before asking why in the first place. its a shame really because i think these tutorials are fabulous, id love to see more of them
we in the uk have cakes like victoria sponge which is sponge cake with jam and cream filling. its very nice. we have jam and cream filled cakes all the time. very nice they are..
great video - thanks for the tip . I can't wait to try this!! I want to do the frills at the front and then a sort of over-skirt round the back and sides. Would you have any tips on how to do this? thanks :) ps. ignore all the stupid comments people are leaving - your cake is great!
@BellatrixBambi As kim says, the alcohol totally evaporates, So your left with no taste, Or alcohol at all. So it is entirely safe to use in a childs cake :)
why is everyone so grossed out by putting jam in the cake? It's traditional to put jam in a sponge cake. It's called a Victorian sponge, look it up. But then again all the people complaining are probably American so it doesn't really surprise me...
@vanessahsucks Its drinkable alcohol :) like vodka, or white rum. its used just as a glue really, because the the alcohol evaporates and leaves no water marks behind on the icing :)
fondant and royal icing are completely diffrent shes using royal icing. fondant is softer and easier to cover a cake with royal icing is more granulated and can easilt break and crack if you dont work fast with it it also does not stick to a cake very well as you cant roll it that thin. also the ingredients to making fondant and royal icing are diffrent fondant was created in america which is why it is hard to get in some places in england i dident even know it was sold over here
there is only the tiniest bit of alcohol actually being used. And the whole point of it using clear booze, like vodka, is because the alcohol evaporates and drys clear. So after a few hours, the cake will be fine to serve.
Hey everyone! Just to clear things up: She uses sugarpaste aka; fondant, ready roll. Sugarpaste is a rollable icing which slighty hardens when set. Royal icing is a paste like buttercream, but is made from egg whites. Royal icing also sets brick solid.
@FilmedCoUk This is an incorrect statement. Alcohol only evaporates when it's being cooked like if you were using it to deglaze a pan to make red wine sauce or something.
everyone does things different. And in britian, 'frosting' isnt the preferred cake covering, its sugarpaste, excactly what shes using, and if you ask me its alot harder to work with than making 'swirly' patterns with a spoon :/
@darkroge actually, it isnt royal icing. Royal icing is spreadable, not like a dough. Shes using sugar paste . . or fondant . . Its the same thing. Some people call them different things but in short, they are the same thing, made from the same ingredients and do the smae job. Royal icing is not what she is using here.
nope sugar paste is hard as when you roll it out it starts drying and breaks when you put it on the cake you have to work fast and cant touch it as much butter cream you can smooth on or use a pastery bag its as easy as frosting
@MadiiManiac Maybe so, but sponge cake with jam and cream was the first cake I ever spit out and refused to eat as a child, and I love cake. So that's just a gross idea of a filling.
Just so all the people on here that are from other countries know, not all Americans are as stupid as some of these jerks on here making comments. Come on people the alcohol evaporates!! And for another thing alot of people put "jam" or fillings between the layers in cakes, idk why people are acting as if its so unheard of. I think the cake is lovely, and looks DELICIOUS>> besides I watch Gordon Ramsey and he always puts jams and fillings in deserts.....
those cakes looks absolutely lovely! just that tey shure do not taste good, so....what's the point of the "looks like" if you can enjoy a good tasteable cake???where is the cream inside the cake?that's oane of the tgings that makes it delicious......
@SasukeGaaraEdward I think its not stupidity, it's ignorance. Not because we do things differently but because most americans don't like to think that theres any other way to do something besides how they do it.
thats how cakes go in britain really. its really rare to see a cake iced in entirley buttercream. Normally its just a thin layer, and then sugar paste, which is the best part of the cake mostly lol :)
Ok, everyone stop being all upset. 1. If you don't like the cake being filled with jam, use frosting 2. if you don't like the alcohol thing, just use water, or simple syrup. btw if you don't know what simple syrup is it's just equal parts water and sugar boiled untill its well.. syrup.
@MrAppleJuiceIsMyBFF i am guessing your American ? In Britain it is very common to put jam (jelly) in the middle of cakes. But after watching some cake decoration videos here on UA-cam i woul much rather eat an American cake with lots of frosting than our tradition cakes.
im really shocked that there are loads of comments about having jam in a sponge!! Then again that derives from the Victoria Sponge which is very British.... but wow!! all cakes when i was a kid had jame in
Actually it is meant to be eaten. It isnt disgusting. And it is drinking alcohol you use, normally Vodka, or clear spirit, eg rum or bacardi, what ever you like
Thats not true, the alcohol evaporates so really, there isnt any in the cake and an old law in the uk states that a child as young as 5 can consume in alcohol in there own home accumpanied by an adult.
Okay, to all the self-righteous people who are freaking out over rubbing a 'dab' of alcohol over the fondant...you typically do not eat this part of the cake anyway. Have you ever chomped down on a piece of fondant or gumpaste from a wedding cake? No. It is typically peeled off and then the cake and light layer of frosting beneath is eaten. I hardly think little Suzie is going to have a hangover tomorrow from her Barbie's fondant dress.
You couldn't use "the alcohol for injuries" it's not edible and would be supremely unethical...the alcohol used is usually, vodka or some other clear alcohol. Sugar paste can actualy be quite nice to eat. It depends on the recipe, but is meant to be eaten though some people who do not really like sweet icing might peel it off.
the alcohol evaporates, and its nice to have something 'special' for a birthday, i think a bit of a sugar for a birthday treat wouldnt do to much harm :) its not the sort of thing id recommend you eat daily lol
The alcohol DOES NOT evaporate without heat! Even with heat, not all of the alcohol is removed. I would not use alcohol for a CHILD'S cake - stick with water.
@MrAppleJuiceIsMyBFF You're obviously not English lmfao, never had a victoria sponge with jam and cream in the middle? :L Jam tastes gorgeous in cakes :')
@suzanx Did you fail science class? Alcohol evaporates when exposed to air. If you leave a bottle of wine open long enough, the alcohol will evaporate at room temperature, at a much faster rate than water. Go back to school, take a freaking chemistry class, and spare the world your ignorance, please.

wow it turned out really nice. beautiful cake. looks so real.
@boshbaby we usually frosting for cake filling. in the US jam is more of something you would put on your toast or sandwich and that's about it.
great video....you've inspired me to make one for my great grandaughters birthday....Thanks soooo much...

@sazoobaby i dont understand, i'm british and i just presumed ALL cakes had jam in the middle...what do they use in america?? im so confused!! haha x
Beautiful!
i laughed when you said 'alcohol' on a CHILDS cake!
fondant and royal icing are completely diffrent shes using royal icing. fondant is softer and easier to cover a cake with royal icing is more granulated and can easilt break and crack if you dont work fast with it it also does not stick to a cake very well as you cant roll it that thin. also the ingredients to making fondant and royal icing are diffrent fondant was created in america which is why it is hard to get in some places in england i dident even know it was sold over here

its incredibly common place in britian. its JAM not jelly, jam and buttercream go hand in hand very well :)
Apesar de está em ingles a explicação é otima.

that's true, the cut of the levels, seem's to have been done for a kid!
Why frost a cake and then cut some off?
thats how cakes go in britain really. its really rare to see a cake iced in entirley buttercream. Normally its just a thin layer, and then sugar paste, which is the best part of the cake mostly lol :)

some would say yes, Some would say no. depends what your comfortable with and used to working with.
ive used it n it completely evaporates...u never even tast anything after it does
im really shocked that there are loads of comments about having jam in a sponge!! Then again that derives from the Victoria Sponge which is very British.... but wow!! all cakes when i was a kid had jame in
@MadiiManiac ya
Actually it is meant to be eaten. It isnt disgusting. And it is drinking alcohol you use, normally Vodka, or clear spirit, eg rum or bacardi, what ever you like
jam and cake 0.e?? that dose not sound right
My name is Jerry Jackson and today I'm making a cake. LOLZ
it would be pretty traumatic for a child to massacre her doll in her birthday party lol
Thats not true, the alcohol evaporates so really, there isnt any in the cake
and an old law in the uk states that a child as young as 5 can consume in alcohol in there own home accumpanied by an adult.

true.
the frills are so much work

She sounds like a voice actor from one of those david firth fat-pie cartoons.
You don't put it IN the cake. It's on the cake and it evaporates... That's what alcohol does.
ahahah alchohol!! :)
xD nice.
wen i was like 6 or sumthing i told my mom to buy me a cake like this. :))
but she ddnt :))
LOL JELLY
What are you on?
Pretty sure its jam.
will clear alcohol not taste horrible ? .. not that you should even be using it on a children's cake!
Those sponges look like loaves of bread
of course its safe, 100% entirley. The vodka evaporates in the air, So theres no chance of your child getting 'drunk' off the cake lol.
=o i wannit plzz gimmie tha cake!!!!!!!!!!

lol jam and donuts sounds good but cake and jam just sounds weird 0.e

The alcohol DOES NOT evaporate without heat! Even with heat, not all of the alcohol is removed. I would not use alcohol for a CHILD'S cake - stick with water.
