My husband says I am a good baker but IMO and as a fact, my cakes have always lacked that professional smoothness and evenness. Hopefully, this vid will give me the encouragement I need to take it to the next level. Thank you!
You can also take a good quality paper towel like Viva, slightly moisten it, then gently press it against the cake with the off-set spatula and smooth it out. My ex-SIL took a Wilton Cake Decorating class and I helped her out once. I picked up a few tricks from her.
I have never made a cake in my life but it was my birthday yesterday and i had no cake for my birthday..... So I suggested to my mum that id like some cake decorating tools haha so I am now the proud owner of a Turntable, Piping set, cake leveler, offset spatula, mixing bowl, cookie cutters & a few other extra stuff.. I am going to attempt to make my own cakes for my family's birthdays because we live in the middle of nowhere and the supermarket cake is not very nice at all.. I found this video very informative Thank you & WISH ME LUCK
I have only just started cake decorating like this and I find Jemma's instruction so easy to follow. Have just iced my first cake with buttercream and I found that for final smoothing it helps to warm knife blade in hot water, dry it off quickly then smooth off icing. Works a dream! Thanks Jemma, you've inspired me.
That's how they used to teach you to get a smooth finish, before they had all of these gadgets. We used to add icing to level it, too. I'm 65, so that tells you how long ago it could be 😁
I invested in cake baking strips that wrap around the side of the pans before baking and they help keep the top flat and there’s no need to cut off the sides of the cake because they don’t get hard and crispy but stay soft and moist. A real revelation.
Ive been tried to figure this out years ago. Not a cake decorator but still want my cakes to look at least some what pretty. I ended up giving up on baking ( not for this reason) And now years late yippee we have internet and TH-cam and wonderful people like yourself willing to share the know hows. Thank you now I need cake scrapper and turntable and see how I go. until that time Ill just put up with not so pretty cakes. Thank you again.
Trying this for the first time today and my cake is currently chilling in the fridge. It could've gone better, but I realise that practice makes perfect, so I'm not giving up yet! Xx
+Cupcake Jemma Hi Jemma, I just discovered your channel a few weeks ago and I must say - I'm already addicted! ;-) I love your recipes, I love the way you make the videos cool and funny, and I LOVE the way you speak English (I'm German, and I'm an 'anglophile', and I love the English language - but only spoken by the right people!). :-) But what strikes me most is the way you "handle" all the things you work with. You are so gentle and careful, you could almost say tender, with everything - I can really see how much you love working with the different ingredients! And you are also sooooo patient, I wish I were half as patient! I bake a lot, but it always has to be quick and easy. I don't care about sifting the flour, for example, and when I see that a recipe has many stages, I don't even start it, if you need a piping bag I try to find a way around it ... (to be continued ... ) You made me see the difference - I work superficially, you work thoroughly, and probably that's one of the most important reasons why my 'products' are not like yours! :-) Thanks a lot for your inspiration - it's much fun watching you, and I learn so much from you! I'm sure my next baking experience will be completely different, thanks to your influence!
Using damp cake strips on the out side of the ting to bake the cakes prevents the cakes browning and over rising so you get paler cakes sponge and not having to level off and cut it and less waste too !! It was my auntie who was a judge at baking shows and of course a professional bakers as she gave me the tip of she been baking for 40 odd years x
You kind of remind me of Anna Olson in the way you explain absolutely everything, down to the tiniest detail. Which leaves your viewers with the confidence to replicate your recipes. Well done.I love your channel. Can't wait to start baking xx
Hi Jemma, a really silly question. Before you do your crumb layer, you mentioned that you put the cake in the fridge. Do you place it in as is or cover it, im always scared it will dry out a cake? Thank you, your videos are quite helpful
This helps so much. Did a buttercream cake recently and I didn’t trim the sides which was my first big error, and also the buttercream was too moussey. Think I’m going to make a cake just to test these techniques!
I have never thought to cut the sides of the cake like this because I've never seen it done before! I usually just shave as much crust off the sides as I can. From now on I'll be using your technique! Thank you so much for this video!
Just discovered Jemma, and I keep finding myself scrambling for pen and paper to take note of what she says. The best cake/icing tutorials I have seen anywhere so far! I can't wait to try it out
We found this so therapeutic to watch. Thank you for the tips Jemma. We're not sure our first attempt will look quite this good but we're looking forward to giving it a go =)
Thanks Jemma! I've been decorating for years, but have always struggled with getting everything perfectly straight and even in a short amount of time. I used your American buttercream recipe - which is fabulous by the way - and it was so easy to cover a 12" 3-layer cake with your help.
You made it look so easy Gemma. Will try it next week for my son birthday cake. Can u fully decorate the cake and keep it in the fridge for the next day or it has to be frosted fully on the same day ?
Jemma, I have never taken a cake decorating class,and this video was very helpful. I like to challenge myself by baking my own birthday cakes.Baking is one thing,and decorating is definitely another. I am going to leave the decorating up to the experts. I did take away a few tips about adding a them crumb layer before adding a main frosting for the whole cake. The designs will be left up to the experts. LOL!
just one thing, can you have the camera more on the cake rather than on you, dont take me wrong is just because i dont want to miss a second of your amazing lesson.
Thank you so much for giving us some tips on how to get are cake to look professionally done. My ma's birthday is coming up soon and wants me to make a cake for her. This video will help me a lot to create a professional cake for my ma. I have watched it a lot
This video gave me the exact info I was looking for. Thanks. I have all of these things except the leveler and the cake thing you used to take off the edges. Now all I need is a little more practice and the right size boxes to transport them in.
For your kind information try the "peppy kitchen" tricks of using cake strips to get rid of the cake dome nd crumbs and to get it super soft and avoid the uneven colors which have to be cut off before icing ..when you use ityou dont have to cut your cake from all sides.. that will be really useful for you
Buying inexpensive cake level strips and putting them around the pans for baking saves heaps of time and saves any of the time consuming levelling done here. Cake layers bake up perfectly flat and level every time and you don't need to trim the edges either. Saves time and cake!
right? I tried so many times...and haven't been able to get that finish :(..... I'm not a Profesional baker, but I really like it...guess I should keep practicing
rokaya boucherabine Have you tried dipping your scraper in hot water? It warms it up enough to gently melt the outer layer into a super smooth finish. I use a metal scraper, dip it in the water for about 10 seconds, wipe off the water on a paper towel, and then start smoothing. Re-dip every once in a while to keep the scraper hot.
No joke! I did this tonight and first of all, my BC looked terrible. Second, my cake was way too crumbly and impossible to cut like she did. Third, I couldn't get the air out of my BC.
Ryn 2011 Two fails so far- looks so easy but harder than it looks. anything you have to practice at is not very easy at the start. It can be both frustrating and exhausting if it doesn't turn out right.
ShattyMcPants It’s about coordination. It is not hard. Fact is, most people trying aren’t exactly used to working with their hands. Woodworking, painting, etc. THAT’s hard. Learning to frost a cake is about as easy as it gets. If that is exhausting for you, then maybe it’s best to stick to easier things like learning to walk or chewing gum.
i made my first cakes the other day. i don't know how many times i watched this video, but i thought they turned out so well. and my customer they were for liked them too!
So you sold to a "customer" a cake... i call.bs. Who buys a cake from someone who has never even made a cake before. Sorry, but you are full of shit. lmao
Very pretty. Great tip on chilling the cake. Just watched someone who uses cake strips. Had never seen them before . They male it so you don't get the dark edges that she cuts off.
the mist crucial part of demonstration when I wanted to see what she was doing... and the camera was filming her face... I failed to see the logic there.
Brilliant ....I always buy birthday cakes but promised to make my daughter a cake on her birthday this time round.... I'm bricking it! She's being positive and encouraging but deep down I think she wants to avoid humiliation lol she's having a dinner with a party of 12 im sure she's having secret anxiety about a lopsided bitter baked mess cos I am 🤣 glad I found your channel new sub here... wish me luck!
For the icing in between the layers can i use whipped cream instead i find that to be less sweet than buttercream, or will it not work and is there any other type of icing you reccommend
maryam eslami ahh thank you so much, i was afraid it might not work with whipped cream but thanks, hopefully it will work great for my birthday this Saturday.
Or you could try ermine butter cream It's amazing! Ermine buttercream/ boiled milk buttercream/ flour buttercream/ less sweet buttercream Just google it and it's so great however I do recommend you choose a recipe where the sugar is dissolved in the milk Rather than whipped in the butter Just trust me
Absolute perfection. Used to do cakes a few years ago. This was a refreshing video. Love how she urges proper hand positioning for comfort as well as the look of the cake. Such a good video! Thank you. :)
@Aashrita Kambhampati A little bit. I sometimes struggle with trying to make the cakes moist. I wish I had corn syrup. It's in the little Cosmic Brownies. _🙊💜_
#cupcake jemma i love your channel ... i am crazy about baking .... thank you soo much for teach me ... can you make mini cupcakes and mini cakes please ?? jemma in Pakistan here is not find cake lever what i can use easily to level the cake??
It took me until half way through the video to figure out why your voice sounded so familiar, and I think its because you sound IDENTICAL to Charlotte Ritchie! You are also super engaging, which is so nice when its a longer video. Thank you!
Mike L would love to know the answer to this. Just finished the ombré iced rainbow cake and there were loads of bubbles in the icing. Hard to shift the icing around too because of the colour constraints.

fantastic tutorial. removing crusts is a great idea. I did hear of a tip for a way to get soft crusts/edges, by using veg oil to grease your tins before lining sides and base, with parchment paper, not greaseproof. specially with Madeira cakes that take a while to bake ;)
Guys can you stop crying about how you've seen this video before !! It's her page , she will do as she pleases , half you probably can't bake to save your lives . She isn't getting anything from you for uploading these FYI .Turn off your notifications then if you're so bothered smh .
thank you so much. I am a young beginner and have a passion on making cake. This month is my sister birthday and I’m going try to make a professional cake.
What is not to like 🤷♀️ baffles me the dislikes.. Great videos this has transformed my cakes to looking mediocre to absolute awesomeness 🤩👌💃 soooo thank you Jemma and all the gang at c&d 💗
There's something very comforting about seeing perfectly smooth buttercream frosting
YES ITS SO SATISFYING

Catmaster5417 that’s true but I do get to eat the whole cake which is even better 😊
I figure ill just make cake pops too as ive been wanting to make them. Love this video!
@@Sophhiiaa_ perfect and you're right!!
Which kind of cake is she using sponge cake or Victoria sponge cake ???
And should we soak our cake in syrup or milk+condensed milk ??
The crumb coat alone is utter perfection! It would make a lovely naked frosting cake with florals and gold leaf!

I love how this was published on my birthday, and I'm using this video to help make a cake for my birthday.
What did you put on the cake after you levelled them before you added butter cream?
Using damp cake strips on the out side of the ting to bake the cakes prevents the cakes browning and over rising so you get paler cakes sponge and not having to level off and cut it and less waste too !! It was my auntie who was a judge at baking shows and of course a professional bakers as she gave me the tip of she been baking for 40 odd years x

Same gurl, same. Also, moussey how?
Use a spatula to smooth the buttercream and knock out the air before you apply :) can always refrigerate it too
Still the best baking teacher on TH-cam. Very thorough with explanations, thank you!
Her crumb coat is still better than my finished cake
ugh same
I have never thought to cut the sides of the cake like this because I've never seen it done before! I usually just shave as much crust off the sides as I can. From now on I'll be using your technique! Thank you so much for this video!

Iced a vanilla cake with this method. Turned out well. Having the tools certainly helps.
Honestly, sometimes I just watch these because there soothing
Have watched so many videos on how to do this. Yours is without doubt the best! All the others waffle on! Love this, thank you.

YES!!!
So true

The last part looks so satisfying! My eyes are so happy to see a perfect finish!

however
I do recommend you choose a recipe where the sugar is dissolved in the milk
Rather than whipped in the butter

I found ur techniques easy n very clear to follow..tq so much for sharing..
How much buttercream did you use for this and what are the measurements please in grams?

Gemma does give the recipe for the buttercream on her other videos and it's fab
hi, I am 8 years old and me and my mom found this super helpful to frosting our cake easily.
Her: 8:07 its not pretty
Me: that looks amazing
Righttttt. Way prettier than anything I could do.
@Aashrita Kambhampati A little bit. I sometimes struggle with trying to make the cakes moist. I wish I had corn syrup. It's in the little Cosmic Brownies.

#cupcake jemma i love your channel ... i am crazy about baking .... thank you soo much for teach me ... can you make mini cupcakes and mini cakes please ?? jemma in Pakistan here is not find cake lever what i can use easily to level the cake??
You can use a serrated knife. It works well
+Bini Mani hi, I always use a large breadknife. somehow I even prefer it to a cake leveler. So everybody has his one ways...
You can easily get a cake leveller in Pakistan , you're probably not crazy enough about baking to look for one 😒
+Taupen Cake really i sm live in lahore csn you tell me the place ....
+Bini Mani many baking pages online sell such stuff . I live in Karachi , we have like a thousand shops here
I had some problems with making it completely smooth but this video was super helpful. The top technique about being super soft is a great tip :D
"Straight tops"
LMFAOAOAOAO PLEASE
Wow. Never knew these kinds of cake took so much hard work!
Please can you make checkerboard cake
That would be really nice actually
It took me until half way through the video to figure out why your voice sounded so familiar, and I think its because you sound IDENTICAL to Charlotte Ritchie! You are also super engaging, which is so nice when its a longer video. Thank you!
How in the heck do you eliminate...or at least reduce...the air pockets in the frosting?
Mike L would love to know the answer to this. Just finished the ombré iced rainbow cake and there were loads of bubbles in the icing. Hard to shift the icing around too because of the colour constraints.

I use a metal scraper, dip it in the water for about 10 seconds, wipe off the water on a paper towel, and then start smoothing. Re-dip every once in a while to keep the scraper hot.
very informative. i am a student and i am soaking up the knowledge and techniques. i think i will like this smoother bc instead of the traditional bc.
Could the buttercream be used under sugar paste as well? Thanks :) x
Leanne Evans yes. it helps the paste stick to the cake much better.
Gracias, Jenna! Perfecto! 💚
Girl u need to apply the great British back off season 7 you'd be great and ur subscribers will support u and can we mention it on you'r next Thursday video and we will say yes or no If you'r subscribers want you too. Thank you and please mention it I'd really love you to.
+Erica Asmar hey, she is no hobby backer. she is a professional, so she is not allowed to take pard in the Great Britsh Back
To be eligible to apply for TGBO your job cant involve professional bakery, so you have to be an amateur
she probably could be a judge considering she's a true professional with two (maybe more) bakery locations!
we love you
She’s a professional not a hobby baker so they wouldn’t let her. :(
fantastic tutorial. removing crusts is a great idea. I did hear of a tip for a way to get soft crusts/edges, by using veg oil to grease your tins before lining sides and base, with parchment paper, not greaseproof. specially with Madeira cakes that take a while to bake ;)
What size pans did you use?
She uses 8 inch cake tins.
Omg im just watching your video and i love the way you explain everything thank you soo much for showing us im subscribing
Can we have access to the recipe for your swiss meringue buttercream?
reivenne it's on her channel, just search swiss meringue buttercream cupcake jemma and you'll find it :)
THIS IS THE ONE TH-camR THAT IS A PROFESSIONAL, AND ISNT ANNOYING (if you get what I mean) Lol
I got a feeling that I already know that video!?

She uploaded this before. Same day with her waffle recipe.

Guys can you stop crying about how you've seen this video before !! It's her page , she will do as she pleases , half you probably can't bake to save your lives . She isn't getting anything from you for uploading these FYI .Turn off your notifications then if you're so bothered smh .
thank you so much. I am a young beginner and have a passion on making cake. This month is my sister birthday and I’m going try to make a professional cake.
I remember the first time I tried covering a cake with frosting I failed miserably
This is the best and most helpful smooth frosting tutorial I have seen. I can't wait to make a cake now!
the cake looks so moist & fluffy, which recipe, is it in your youtube channel?
I'm wondering the same thing!!
+Lacey Keith press on the (i) on the corner of the video there's the recipe ;) anyway it's the "classic victoria sponge cake recipe"
+HanzQ i see what you mean...thanks for pointing it out! yes, she uses victoria sponge cake, probably double the recipe to get 4 layers
