I'm watching this over and over to cram study before I try to assemble a 4 layer red velvet cake for my sister's 18th birthday. This video is so great! I feel WAY more confident.
how was the cake
Me too 😩
SAME!!! well not same but my sister is turning 18 and I’m watching videos to make her cake perfect
Yessss me too
Omg we are all on the same wavelength I’m here because I’m baking my brother a red velvet cake for his b day 😮
I worked for a bakery. They used a textured paper towel while they gently smoothed to leave a slight impression on the icing. It actually looked great.
omg THANK YOU - this is where i run into the most trouble with cakes. i'm ready to try again!
You can do it! 😉
You are a darling and you explain things really well. I love it so far! Thank you for the info, I can tell your channel is about to become a regular for me :)
Wow! What a helpful video! I never knew that you should chill cake layers prior to frosting and that there was such an animal as a cake leveler
Oh yeah, cake levelers are a game changer when you have lots and lots of cakes to make!

Thank you for taking the time to do this video. Super helpful!
I have one question: when baking the cake layers the day before, when do you wrap them to put in the fridge? Do you wait for the cakes to completely cool or slightly warm to keep some moisture?
Witchcraft!
Thanks for the help! This was mesmerizing. You are very good at this. Wish me luck lol.
This is a great tutorial.
Do you have a recipe for a basic white cake? I did not see one on your website. Thank you!
Thanks!❤
Thank you so much, this really helped but I think I made the final layer of icing a bit too thin because a bunch of cake bits were visible but it still turned out great🎂
Hi! I'm wondering if you could comment about freezing cakes before using vs just refrigerating- i hear that esp in hot climates, frosting a thawing cake is easier
Hey! Love the video! Can I ask what size pans used for the cakes? 😊
THX U, LV VID... NEW SUB 👍🏾
Gracias muy útil 😊 donde puedo ver la receta del pan por favor 😊
Watching before making my grandmother’s birthday cake later today!
The best best video!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤
Tyy
Enjoyed Content❤
What size cake pans are you using? Please help!!
I’m here to learn before may 14th(mothers day cake) 😂
What inches in pan do you use for the cakes?
Do you have a link for the tools you use?
Where did you get the metal spinner?
questions while watching-
what can I use other than plastic wrap to cool them, I don't have any handy
I don’t know how to deal with the temperate in my kitchen in winter it seems like it melts while I decorate… 😢 please any tips?
Thanks God blesd
Do you wrap the cake while it’s still hot? Or cool on counter first?
making a smash cake for my one year old, and thank you so much for this video !!!! was so simple and to the point!
Thanks for this great video. I have a question. My family don’t like butter cream. Can I use whipped cream that I sometimes use for cupcake or whipping cream with cream cheese? I whip the 33%cream and beat it with cream cheese and icing sugar and forms well. If I can use that instead of butter cream are all the steps exactly same as this video? Thanks
What size cake layer are those?
Hello.. i have to bake a 4 layer 10inch cake. Is it necessary to insert dowels to keep the cake straight up?. The layers will be about the height of your cake layers
Essa hora boa
Baking two 8 in cakes, is that considers one layer or two?
Would this work with cream cheese frosting?
Can I have your cake recipe they look so light and fluffy
What’s the recipe for your butter cream
I’m going to be making my sons birthday cake. I wanted the inside to be carrot cake and vanilla . My question is would I still use buttercream for the outside and does it taste well together ? Ty in advance for the answer. I have no baking experience 😅
Help!! I need to make a cake tonight for my brother but I couldn't find a cake board. I thought I wouldn't need one. What should I do because all the stores are closed.
Have you ever got that you look like Cordelia from Bgc season 2? lol Your videos are very helpful
When the cake is chilling, the rest of the composition (buttercream) is at room temperature?
needs more filling! 😄
How many inches is this
Why size cake pans do you use for this size cake?
Looks like 6 inch
What is the little cardboard plate that goes underneath the cake called? I want to order one so I start decorating cakes but I don’t know what it’s called
Cake board I believe
Can you wrap while they are still warm? or is it best to wrap when completely cool?
I think when it completely cool because if it’s warm it’s gonna kinda melt the plastic wrap, it’s just better to do it cool. 🌸
it’s best to wrap the cakes when they are about 10 minutes out of the oven. so yes wrap them when they are warm because the plastic wrap will lock in than moisture and keep the cake nice and moist. and then chill in the fridge for an hour. happy caking!
👍
What does someone who doesn't have a turntable use? Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Some people use the part that spins the plate in the microwave, sorry for late reply
Can you use store bought butter cream or do you have to make it homemade?
