Such a beautiful effect, using such a simple technique!! What a sweet cake! I've missed you guys! I was so happy to see that you had uploaded a new video!! God bless you both!
Thank you so much, showing how to make Waves on a Cake ! I'm getting ready to make a Mermaid Cake for my Granddaughter 1st Birthady & this is 1part of my Ideas for the Cake, to start the Cake Decorations for it ! Thanks again !
I've been trying for weeks to decide what technique to use on my niece's birthday cake (bottom tier). I think this is it! It's so beautiful. I'll be using lavender, coral and teal. And some sea glass green. With hints of metallic gold. She'll have a mermaid riding a seahorse on top. I've made tons of shells, extra mermaid tails and sea horses to decorate with. Now I can't wait to finish it today!
@@krazykoolcakes Thank you! I posted pics of the finished cake here if you'd like to see how mine turned out. :) facebook.com/1453630034925762/posts/2441480766140679/
Very Nice! I think I can do this technique 😊. Thanks for sharing. perfect for summer time theme cakes, beach, pirates, mermaid, octonauts, spongebob, nautical theme cakes. so many possibilities
I just love this cake. You guys do beautiful work. I enjoy your videos. Such a lovely couple. 😍 I plan on making this cake for my daughter's 1sr birthday. How did you get the teal coloring? I have wilton icing colors.
Thank you so much! We appreciate that! :) We used AmeriColor's teal but really most teals are very much alike. You can use Wilton or even the more inexpensive Sunny Side they sell at Hobby Lobby. Wilton will work perfect. Thank you for watching! :)
@@krazykoolcakes thank you 😊. Another question, I watched your frosting video as well and I see you used meringue powder. What does that do to the frosting? I see online it will.make the icing crust. Does that make the icing dry? Thank you again.
Thank you so much! I appreciate you watching! I purchase the majority of my tips at my local cake supply but you can find them all at Michael's, Hobby Lobby, or even on Amazon (plus thousands of cake supply websites). I hope that helps. :)
Thank you so much! Yes of course! You can find the recipe by watching my tutorial "Perfect Icing Consistencies". It's also in written form under that tutorial in the description box underneath it. Thanks for watching! :)
Hello I am looking to make your vanilla butter cream cake and icing recipe with this design for my daughters 3rd birthday. After the making and refrigerating the cakes the night before can I ice the cake 1 day in advance and refrigerate until the next day? Or is it best to ice the cake same day?
Hi! Glad you liked the design! I'm sure your cake will be beautiful! You can ice the cake and then refrigerate over night. No problem at all. Thanks for watching! :)
Hi Helen, I'm not sure what "white plastic" you are referring to? I don't have any white plastic around the piping bag. It's only the piping bag and the piping tip. If you ever watch any of our tutorials and you're interested in the materials, tips, etc, that we used in the video, you can always click on the "show more" section underneath our video, or if you're on a smart phone/tablet, it's the little black arrow pointing down. The tip is 1M. Thanks for watching! :)
Hello Laura! Fist and foremost thank you so much for sharing so many amazing videos with us! I was wondering if you could help me figure what went wrong with a cake I made using this wave technique. (your technique was amazing and in no way shape or form am I trying to imply that what happened to my cake was due to your technique) I made a beach cake for my customer they took it to the beach. She mentioned it was 69 degrees and overcast and after an hour ALL the piped on was literally came crashing down 😔. Could you help me pin point what could have gone wrong? I guess what I’m really trying to find out is if it was something I did😔. Thank you so much. Any input will be greatly appreciated. Ps. The cake I made turned out absolutely amazing with the beach waves thanks to your video 😍
Hi! You're very welcome! We appreciate you watching! :) I'm happy to help. Right off the bat, the fact that the words "beach" and "cake" are together in the same sentence, scare me. LOL. It could be many things like the consistency of your icing, the TYPE of icing you used, but despite the fact that it was 69 degrees, that has absolutely nothing to do with the amount of humidity in the air. Humidity = water. And water and icing DO NOT MIX. The fact that you said it was "overcast" tells me there was a lot of humidity in the air, plus keep in mind they're at the beach so they are surrounded by water. In the future, be sure to advise your customers that having cake ANYWHERE near water is a VERY bad idea. Let them know that of course they are MORE than welcome to do what they wish with the cake, but once the cake is out of your hands, whatever happens to it is not your responsibility. Always a good idea for both the Cake Artist AND the customer to use wisdom. Most customers don't know any better so it's our responsibility to enlighten them. So glad you liked our tutorial! Hope my advice helps. God bless you! :)
Krazy Kool Cakes & Designs thank you very much for your reply. It has brought me the reassurance that the “beach” was the culprit. I was scared because I’ll be making a rosette cake next month and I was scared that the heat was gonna be an issue (but this cake will be nowhere near water!). Thank you thank you!!!!! God Bless.
@@krazykoolcakes I made this cake this weekend and it was beautiful but I had the same result with about half of the waves tumbling off the cake. We live in a very dry climate so that was not the issue. I am wondering if the issue was that I did a crumb coat, then refrigerated the cake for about 20 minutes and then applied the waves. I am wondering if the sides of the cake were too dry for the waves to adhere to. It was very disappointing but i took the icing that fell off and iced the back half of the cake smooth and then put pirouettes around for a pier effect. Very cute but I was so disappointed as the waves had looked so beautiful. If you have any other thoughts I would love to hear them.
One batch of the icing we use is 8 cups of sugar. Two ice an entire two tiered cake as in the video we used one batch of our soft consistency icing. Check out our "Perfect Icing Consistencies" tutorial if you'd like to see how we make it. Thanks for watching and you're very welcome. :)
I can't remember off the top of my head but if you look at the info underneath the video I'm sure it's in there. I think I also did mention it in the video. Thanks for watching! :)
This is exactly what I was looking for thank you! How exactly did you mix the colors? Looking to replicate for my niece's birthday and I'm food color-mixing challenged. Thanks!!
That's wonderful Sabrina! Glad you found this tutorial. :) We add the gel food coloring to the mixing bowl right when we're almost done making the icing. Thank you for watching! :)
Wow! Your very talented and you make very beautiful cakes i am 12 and i hope to be like you one day lol probably will never be as good as you ;( but with practice I might be like u😁
I appreciate that very much! Thank you! Don't EVER say you "probably will never be as good as me". You should look at what I DO, and say to yourself, "One day I'm going to BE BETTER than her!". If you practice you'll be like me and BETTER! You can do ANYTHING that God has put the desire in your heart to do. Each generation should be better than the last. I WANT YOU to be BETTER than me! Believe in YOURSELF, and even MORE importantly, BELIEVE and TRUST in God that loves you so much! Remember that every single GOOD desire in your heart, HE put there! If He put it there, then He WILL help you be great at it! God bless you you super talented Cake Artist! You start believing that you are ALREADY that NOW! :)
Is this buttercream stiffer than canned frosting? I tried this technique on a practice cake using canned frosting, and each row of waves drooped and slid down my cake.
I've never used canned frosting so not sure. But, I can tell you that the consistency of this is strong, but still soft like buttercream. It holds its shape very well. Oh... if it drooped on you then this icing is definitely way stronger than canned frosting.
Yes, it's a Wilton 1M star open tip. If you have any other questions about the tools, and materials, you can find it in the description box below the video. Thanks for watching! :)
Where have you been all of my beginning cake decorating life?!!! 😁😁😁 This BEAUTIFUL! I can't wait to try it! 🫶🏿🫶🏿🫶🏿

hi laura does your buttercream can survive on 90 degree heat? thanks
I don't think any cake can survive that. LOL. Definitely if it's that hot you want to keep your cake INDOORS. :)

Muchísimas gracias! :)
Beginner here. I can’t find that exact tip is there a good substitute?
Hi Rena, You can probably try any large tip that has a "similar" shape on the tip. :)
How much icing is in a batch? How much is used for this cake decoration? Thanks
One batch of the icing we use is 8 cups of sugar. Two ice an entire two tiered cake as in the video we used one batch of our soft consistency icing. Check out our "Perfect Icing Consistencies" tutorial if you'd like to see how we make it. Thanks for watching and you're very welcome. :)
How do you get the color, did you put food coloring
Yes, we use gel food coloring.
Can i design like this using boiled icing?
Hi Jamie, I'm sorry but I've never heard of "boiled icing". What is that? :)
Could this work for a bundt cake?
Yes definitely! :)
Mi pregunta es si este es la misma consistencia del betún que usaron con el pastel rojo de rosas?
Hola Blanca, Si es la misma consistencia. :)
Muchisimas gracias

Can I do this with ri on a cookie?
I don’t see why not. 👍🏻
How easily could this be executed on cupcakes?
Not sure. I've never done it. You'd have to just try it. :)
What color did you use?
AmeriColor's teal gel food coloring.

I’m wondering how hard it would be to do this technique on the top tier of a cake?
HI! Not hard at all. You would do it the exact same way. No difference whatsoever. Thanks for watching! :)
How tall are your cakes?
Usually 5.5" in height. Three layers of cake inside.
Krazy Kool Cakes & Designs ok thank you!!!
What tip is this
Wow! It's been so long since this tutorial. Can't remember. LOL. I'm sure it's in the info under the video. Thanks for watching! :)
