I am leading a cake decorating club, and this is the perfect tutorial for me to learn from and teach my club mates!
I haven't made sugar crystals in decades, but one thing I remember clearly is that after you have made your strong sugar syrup and poured it into the tall jar, place it in a spot where it will not be moved! Not at all. Then add the stick or string with some table sugar on it and gently place it in the jar. Do not move this jar or the stick/string. That way the crystals will grow large AND clear. Moving even a little bit disrupts this process and although you may grow crystals, they will not be so clear and well formed.
I have tried so many different sugar crystal methods to make my own birthday cake, yet this one was the most efficient result! Thank you Georgia
Thank you for all your lovely tutorials! Here's what worked for me when I wanted to make a lot of rock candy: I made a huge batch of the sugar syrup and poured it into a square polycarbonate food storage container (mine is from WebstaurantStore but it's just a heat-resistant restaurant-grade food container) after it had cooled slightly. The crystals grew up the sides and across the bottom. I was able to wiggle/move the plastic enough to get the crystals off the plastic. The bottom was a little tricky to get out because it grew in a solid sheet and all the chunks needed to be broken up, but it felt worth it to me because of how many more crystals I got from a batch using the stick method.
Jennifer, thank you for sharing your rock candy technique. I have never had much success with the stick rock candy method, even though I remember my class successfully making stick rock candy in first or second grade. Of course we basically just watched the teacher make it, and that was what was considered appropriate instruction for young children all those years ago. Boring!
Beautiful! Thank you. You are a wonderful teacher!
I loved this tutorial I’ve been wanting to try this cake trend but have been too intimidated. After watching you do it I feel confident because you make everything look so easy lol. 💕
Will definitely try making the sugar crystals and the Geode cake. You make it look so easy. Thank you, Georgia.
Thank you georgia for all your tips and video tutorials! I just started my business few months ago and i've learned everything on youtube. really appreciate it!
What a beautiful cake! Thank you for sharing! I’m excited to try this.

Thank you so much 😀
Thank you for your lovely tutorials. They r awesome. Gonna try this💪🏻🔥❤️
Thank you so much! I can’t wait to try this 😍
It came out so good! Thank you!
The cake is really lovely, and the teaching tape make the creation of the cake so accessible. My only concern is making the rock crystals. Many years I made a project out of making rock candy with toddlers, only we had a real problem getting crystals to form. I finally bought rock candy on a stick, and sneaky replaced the failed candy with the beautiful professional rock candy. The children, being young and innocent, were thrilled and delighted with the “magical” transformation. But if I have to resort to buying commercial rock candy, this will be one expensive cake! But the gratification of creating something so beautiful, so it will be worth
Wow, thanks for this tutorial! Very informative!
Yes! I’ve been eagerly awaiting this one :)

Freezing iced cake
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I’ve been trying to figure out for months how you make the rock candy. I’m looking forward to trying it. Do you think humid weather will affect it?
Ur all tutorials r amazing I have one request that can u show how to make veg cakes including eggless sponge
Hi Georgia I've just found your video and can't wait to try the crystals Just wondering how long will the crystals last and also the best way to store them please 🙂
I love geode cake
Love it
I also make cakes too, this cake is goood idea and Beautiful
Lovely! Thanks for sharing.
Can I try this on whipped cream cake?
This is beautiful. Please make letter cake. Love from Canada
Another thing you can do with the crystals is colour your solution(s) your gradiation. Then it saves you the step. I might use everclear instead of vodka, just because it's higher in alcohol and will dry faster
omggggggggggg this one is amazing I HAVE TO try this to impress my man's parent to get married soon 😂😂😂
Hello,
Beautiful cake!
Can I paint gold lines all around the cake as well as you did around the crystals with gold paint? Since is buttercream I am not sure if the gold paint or the buttercream are going to get damage?
Thank you!
I love your videos, did you try to make it with thread? I tried once long time ago but with thread and it came up nicely.
Amazing tutorial! Cake looks incredible! Very talented. You’ve inspired me to learn how to make / try making cakes in your style.... I’m still trying to perfect the Swiss meringue buttercream though! How important is adding all of the butter - this always seems so much butter and I can’t seem to get your consistency? The meringue element always works ok though - except for one hot kitchen aid machine!
Try making ermine frosting instead (boiled flour buttercream). I think its easier to nake, doesbt have eggs and is less sweet and tastier.
I would just use regular buttercream because I bake a lot and in my experience swis meringue buttercream tastes discusting and of butter
Pleasure will you make a mirror glaze drip cake or a marble drip cake ❤️
Your amazing
I really love this video and I'm gonna try it, trust me. But I really want to learn how to make a perfect sugar crystals. Could you make the video pls?
you are fantastic
I am going to try this. how do you get air bubbles out of your buttercream?
So lovely...can I replace it with fruit like cherry just asking thou 🤣🤣🤣
Love your chanel. Have you tried flavouring the sugar?
Great cake!
Could you not add food colour to sugar syrup mixture?
Probably a silly question but how cold should the syrup be before you put the sugar coated skewers in. I want to make some for a cake I’m doing but want to practice first.
You can color the water to get different colors.
Gorgeous cake, stunning. Can i ask, what is the other options if we can't use vodca. Thank u
Use bakers spirit
You should try adding very little food coloring to you sugar syrup be for you add sugar skewer to it.
Thank you for the tips on creating sugar crystals, I've also noticed they're not so readily available in the UK.
As you said you used Swiss Meringue buttercream, I have to ask - am I missing something in terms of needing a strong stand mixer? I tried it for the first time the other day - twice - and I could not get the the eggs to stiff peaks. It looked more like melted marshmallow. I used eggs, not cartoned. They were at room temperature. I can't imagine how there was any grease on the equipment since it was a brand new mixer, plus I washed everything after the first failed attempt. I don't know what I did wrong 😭 I even mixed the first batch for a good half hour in case I was just being impatient. In. The. Bin.
fluffy... For what it is worth, I would not attempt making Swiss Buttercream without the power of a good stand mixer backing me up.
Hey do I have to put this jar in the refrigerator to let it grow in candy rocks?
Plz the test of the syrup in the glass jar what can u use it for.
Very nice cake, where do you get edible flowers
What else can you use instead of vodka? Any non alcoholic alternatives?
What happens with the rest of the cut out cake? Is there a way to include that part as part of the bottom of the cake somewhere? ...as if it's falling out of the cake?
This is cool! I'm wondering if food coloring could be added to the sugar syrup to achieve different colored crystals?
Duh
@@New.phone.who.dis1286 No need to be rude
I know this comment is 3 month old, but I want to answer in case anybody is reading this later: It works, but i've experienced that the colours are not as intense as if you paint them. Hope this helps :)
Do you store the stick with sugar on the fridge? I’m asking because I live in a tropical weather and ants come fast when they smell sugar even if you put a jar on a cabinet.
I've been so nervous to try a geode cake because i dont want to use a cients order as a trial... what if it goes wrong?
Oh lord no! Definitely don’t do that. Just an idea, you can cover a dummy cake and then just practice the geode part 🤷🏽♀️that way you cut down on costs and don’t waste cake
Any cake I want to practice on I just do 4inch mini cake at the weekend and then we eat for pudding on Sunday 😊
When we're practicing I think we have to accept there will be wastage unfortunately, but yes, definitely don't practice on a clients order!
Is it necessary to use gel colour can we use water based colour
Can i use granulated sugar for the crystal?
Can you do a buttercream recipe ??
Should i leave the sugar crystals in the fridge or out?
Should we cut the piece for the sugar crystals and place them while the cake is still chilled? I see after you place the crystals you also put back in the fridge as well... just want to make sure of this step!
Yes - it's a lot easier to carve a chilled cake!
Love u
The cristal cake dont melt when you put it in a fridge?
Would leaving the fully made cake cause the sugar to dissolve?
How do you and when do you color it?
Can you suggest something other than vodka or water?
How many would I need to do a cake like this? I’m guessing a lot??
I would love to try the rock crystals out! Do you remember about how many sticks you did to get enough for one cake?
About 3 :)
You can find sugar crystals in any Indian store.
Question.. how about crushing boiled sweets?
