Great video and gorgeous cake! I plan to do a similar cake for my daughter's birthday party in August. Mine will be pink with regular chocolate Ganache drip, it's a Peppa Pig theme party.
Thanks so much for sharing the tutorial with us. Tall cakes are the new thing.. please do a video sharing the cake recipe. it looks light and moist. many thanks.
Hi Zethu, thank you :-) Here is the link to some of my recipes on my website: lulubellesbakes.com/2019/06/04/delicious-fail-proof-sponge-cake/ the secret is not to overbeat the mixture once you have added your egg whites. Also, drizzle some of the citrus syrup over the cake as soon as it comes out of the oven. This keeps the sponge nice and moist. This recipe is also on my website. Happy banking and enjoy :-)
Hi Stephanie, thank you for following me :-) I am doing more videos in a couple of months. I can highly recommend the Sugar and Crafts Premium RTR. I have used this now for over 4 years and won't use any other sugarpaste on my cakes. It's an amazing product. Let me know if I can give you any advice and I will gladly see where I can assist you. Kind regards Lyndsay
Thank you so much I will make sure to order some! I always find that the drying time is extra fast no matter how quickly I work with my fondant and it cracks or I get elephant skin unless I add something like glucose or veg fat. Will try this fondant.
@@Stephdk-k4x Definitely give it a try. Follow my tutorial on how to soften it as it is quite hard when you take it out of the tub. A quick slice, dice and knead and it is perfect! It comes in a range of stunning colours too! Let me know :-)
Thank you! I am so pleased it helps. I bought my cake smoothing cloth from an online store in South Africa, but as far as I know it is available world wide. It is made by Queen of Hearts Cake Couture. Here is a link to their FB page: facebook.com/QueenofHeartsCoutureCakes maybe contact them to find out if there is somewhere near you that stocks it. All the best and happy baking!
Hi, thanks for this tutorial. I always have difficulty with tall cakes, always collapsing. I usually put a dowel in the centre with no board in between. 1. How many batches of your buttercream recipe did you use to decorate the cake? 2. If am to use your buttercream recipe to fill and frost the entire cake, how batches would be enough for 6" 4layers and how many for 8" 4layers. Your cakes are so soft.
Hi Magy so pleased this tutorial helps you. Depending on the size of your cake and also whether you are filling the layers with buttercream will depend on the amount of buttercream you will use. I also prefer to add a chocolate ganache between the layers of cake as this will hold the cake more firmly. My 1kg buttercream recipe should be fine for a 15 and 18cm cake. you might need a little extra for the 20cm cake though. I prefer to have too much than too little and it does freeze really well if you have too much left over. All the best :-)
Thank you Faith! You can buy the Premium RTR directly from Sugar and Crafts. Their website is www.sugarandcrafts.com/ and you can buy the cake cloth from Baker's Boutique. Here is their link: bakersb.co.za/en/ I also understand that Baker's Corner and The Baking Tin stock Premium RTR - simply the BEST sugarpaste / fondant to use on your cakes!
Thank you Alana. Yes, I have recipes on my website www.lulubellesbakes.com -there is the basic sponge recipe and also the butttercream recipe. Good luck and enjoy!
Hi Brigitte, so pleased you loved my technique. Not sure where you are located but you can get the cake cloth from Value Baking in The Strand, or online at Baker's Boutique or Yuppiechef.
Lulubelle's Bakes I live in the States but have never heard of this method before. I will check your suggestions. Thanks so much! Will be watching your other videos!
@@brigittekomara9036 oh golly, that's a bit far, but here is a link to Queen of Hearts Cake Courture - it is their brand that I use queenofheartscouturecakes.com/product/cake-cloth/ Hopefully you can find something like this in the States. Happy New Year!
Love watching your videos. So easy to relate to your explanations.. hopefully one day I'll be able to join one of your classes🙏🌸 Keep up the awesome work😊
i guess Im randomly asking but does anybody know a trick to log back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly lost my login password. I would love any help you can offer me
@Reign Graham I really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and Im in the hacking process now. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Hi Rose, you would cut the top two layers first, remove the supporting board in the middle of the cake and the dowels and then cut the bottom two layers. Hope this helps?
Thanks, but what is dangerous? If you add anything on your cake that you feel is "dangerous" then you must advise your client accordingly. and if you are referring to the pin I attach the ribbon to the board with, well, there is no danger there as the board doesn't get eaten :-) so all good
Thanks alot ma'am this was really helpful 🥰
The cake looks really amazing

@Reign Graham it did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thanks so much you saved my ass!
Your cakes look lovely and fresh and moist... whats the secret ;-)
Has anybody seen a video about how to cut these things? Do you have to cut the first layer in place?
Hi Rose, you would cut the top two layers first, remove the supporting board in the middle of the cake and the dowels and then cut the bottom two layers. Hope this helps?
