This is a great video for beginners. It's so helpful how she explains what she's doing and why you should or should not do certain things, to help understand the process.
I'm just getting into baking cakes and I must say, Wilton is amazing! I've been studying their videos and I bought all of my cake pans, turntable, even bake strips and my offset spatula from Wilton. I'm so excited to test everything out and bake a little 6 inch triple layer cake for my Grandma and Grandpa😊 Wish me luck!
Curious about your thoughts on the pre-glazing of the cake with simple syrup prior to applying the crumb coat. Is this a worthwhile step? I see it recommended quite often.
@Sichard Rimmins , I'm not any expert but I've worked in professional kitchens for years and I would say yes. It keeps the cake quite moist, especially when its refrigerated and has the chance of losing moisture... But do be careful not to oversoak it as it would make the cake soggy and fall apart easily, preventing a clean slice of cake, etc. Hope I was helpful ...
Jesus you make it look so easy 😩 the advice was spot on though I went wrong when decorating a cake as I didn't do a crumb coat previous to properly icing it and I didn't chill the cake after adding the layers. Thank you 🙏

Newbie here, I though it looks easy to frost a cake. I tried it and peels off and mixes with the frosting and it end up looking "dirty". Maybe my cake is too crumbly? I cant make a proper spread due to the crumbs peeling off and sticking to the frosting.
@@wilton I already cooled off my cake yesterday, the next day when I'm going to frost it its too crumbly. Or maybe I added very little frosting on it and I tried to spread it like that?

Can you put the cake in the freezer for a faster firm to the touch frosting ? And if so how long in the freezer ?
Yess

Make sure the cake is completely cooled as well if the cake is still warm it will melt the icing

Hi! Make sure that the cake has completely cooled off before you coat it. You can put it in the fridge before coating.

This is cool
Why didn't you but icing between the cakes?
This looks easy but never when you try it 😁
is that a buttercream icing?
Yes, it's buttercream! Thanks for checking.
