I love the ease of the frost form. I have the 8" and 6" starter+ kits. Worth it if you can afford it. I might consider this method for larger sizes I rarely make. I'll have to find a link for these cake collars.
I knew someone was going to figure out a frost form hack. My problem with frost forn is the wrap around covers aren't tall enough for my cakes. Love this hack
I first came across this hack about 11 years ago. It was a German Baker on TH-cam. Now, there are at least 2 brands being manufactured. I bought one 6-inch cake ganache kit, but I still go back to this original Baker's tip.
im trying to learn how to make a cake for my daughters birthday and have been having the hardest time frosting a cake. im going to cry, youre a life saver!
I actually like that idea. Its came out so clean. I definitely dislike scraping the cake. I have the hardest time trying to smooth it out. Thank you for the tip
Yess thank you! I got a Frost Form and it isn’t as easy as it seems. I had seen people putting their buttercream on a cake collar and then smoothing it around but this hack is genius!
Hi, thank you for the tutorial ! This actually resembles how French entremets are layered, except we do it upside down so you get a flat top immediately. They are filled with mousse then covered with a glaçage once frozen, but the idea is the same!
How did you make the top so straight and smooth? I observed that you were working with a spatula but at the end looks so even. Great job . Can you please share with us ? Thank you so much for sharing your technique 💕🌸
I've been chasing the frost form for a while to see if become more affordable but too expensive and at least here in Canada we will need to pay extra fee for customs and all that.Thank you!
Thank goodness for this video!!!! I was going to buy that frost form also but this hack is so great and awesome and I really want to say thank you!!! You just got a new subscriber and a like on this video❤
I have been eyeballing the frost form too, but too pricey for me. I'm a homebaker, and have a cake I'm baking for this weekend. Can't wait to try this. Thank you Becky! 💜
Here’s my Russian piping tips Tutorial: th-cam.com/video/5zAtk06fgPM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=oT0k5GKdpyGeLsob Here’s my American Buttercream recipe: th-cam.com/video/wkzg3FGvbwM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=x6tIjKRzAS7hVvPp I’ve used both my American Buttercream recipe and Mock buttercream recipe with Russian Piping tips.
I have tried a hack of my own. Epic fail! 😂 I would keep eyeing the 4” frost form (that’s the size I want for the mini cakes I make) but my gosh! It comes out to $90 on sale when shipping is added!! I am going to try this. Question: the collar fits between the pan and the cake board right? This is an issue because I don’t want to trim my cakes any smaller than 4”. If I use a 5” pan, then the frosting is going to be 1/2” thick!
I almost feel stupid for purchasing the frost form because when I saw it I was so excited & now I see this video thank you for posting! Have you ever tried it with a vegan buttercream? My business is strictly gluten & dairy free so my buttercream isn’t “normal” I tried it in the frost form & all the frosting was stuck to the form Thank you for any input ❤
Yikes have you had any luck with the frost form using your dairy free frosting? I also use dairy free & was going to purchase the frostform but im thinking of doing this method first & see what happens. Please let me know if you have had any luck thx
Best Cake decoration site I have ever had the pleasure of coming across. So easy to follow and learn from. Could you sent me a link for the printable practice sheet, as I am having a problem when finding ones that print. Thanks Or if anyone else read this comment can you let me know .
Oh, thank you for taking the time ro reply! Im visually impaired & in a panic about my mums birthday cake. I dont want to fork out for frost. F but want to use the butter ganache. Most loose bottom cake tins have an edge similar to the frostf plastic thing. Trial & error i suppose. Thanks!@IcingOnTopBeckysCakes
Hi, this is what I'm looking for months.. and you are a life saver!! thank you so much for this hack and would like to know.. will this works well with whipping cream and chocolate ganache? TIA ❤️ love from India❤️
Hello, I'm hoping to try this with my dons birthday cake because I hate covering with fondant 😅 any tips on how to cut the edges of the cake down by half an inch?
Hello, love this however when I tired the cellophane stuck to my frosting 😢 I put in the freezer for about 2 mins and used your frosting recipe but the frosting also didn’t seem to go to the bottom of the cake. Any ideas of where I went wrong? 😅
I’m so sorry. I realized that I misspoke in the video and said 30 seconds. It’s 30 minutes! Yikes! I just fixed that in the description down below. Thank you for bringing it to my attention.
If your side frosting and your filling frosting is the same, you could build 1 cake layer at a time. Eg add cake layer, frost sides and top, add cake layer, frost dides and top and repeat until you get the height you want. It should make it easier to reach and ensure you get to the bottom .
Ive written off frost form at this point, but what do you think of brigids ganache kit? Sane kind of deal but only about £25. Sturdier plastic than collars, too. Im at a crossroad deciding which way to go!
Bridges ganaching kit works just as well as frost form and this method. I've learnt that when you pipe the buttercream or ganache into the wrap if you do x4 pipes into the collar evenly it helps guide you to fill the cake evenly.
Oi boa tarde, sou do Brasil, eu amei sua dica , quase que comprei as formas caras no site , pode ensinar como faz a ganache para ficar direitinho , escreve e eu traduzir aqui no TH-cam 😍😃😃😃
Brigids cake roomis the original company who came up with this idea b4 Frost form. I’ve both collar ideas and the Frost From is a nightmare and way too many steps and very expensive compared to the original Brigids cake room version. A walk in the park no cake trimming etc. also less expensive and a small family business based in Ireland. Frostfrom and Amy Cakes and sweet stamp are owned by the sugar sisters also based in Ireland and the USA. But mainly sell from Ireland. All the top bakers in Europe use the ganache kit from Brigids cake room 😊
I doubt that claim about top bakers using brigids kit. Do you have a source? Out of the 2, frost form looks easier to use. There's no trimming of anything- it's all supplied ready to go. There's no flipping of cakes. The liners are taller. It's a solid polished professional offering to the marketplace. The only thing that lets it down in my humble opinion is the price, especially if needing multiples of same size. Hence why I've decided to make my own. Gonna do something similar to this hack but with a loose bottom tin a thick acrylic base disc and a thicker tall liner.
30 minutes might be better than 30 seconds. I almost paid 100. + for the frost form. Thank you so much!
That’s why I’m here lol I can’t fought that out…. Plus you have to buy different ones for different sizes!
I misspoke in the video, it supposed to be freezer for 30 minutes not seconds. Thanks for catching that.
Same here. I was going to buy the Frost Form, but you need one for each size!
I love the ease of the frost form. I have the 8" and 6" starter+ kits. Worth it if you can afford it. I might consider this method for larger sizes I rarely make. I'll have to find a link for these cake collars.
My cake was in the fridge over 2 nights the ganache still didn't set and it ripped the side of the cake off do you know what I'm doing wrong
I knew someone was going to figure out a frost form hack. My problem with frost forn is the wrap around covers aren't tall enough for my cakes. Love this hack

I’ve been watching the Frost Form videos but they are so expensive. This is a fantastic alternative, so thank you so much.
You are so welcome!
Could you please share the receipe of the buttercream? Thanks!!@@IcingOnTopBeckysCakes
@pattyimva here you go th-cam.com/video/wkzg3FGvbwM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=py2VC64ZeB861MQ4
Thank you for this hack. Frost forms costs a fortune
You’re welcome!
im trying to learn how to make a cake for my daughters birthday and have been having the hardest time frosting a cake. im going to cry, youre a life saver!
I love you!! I’ve been up and down TH-cam trying to find a video of actually icing a cake with the collar on❤❤❤❤
I’m so glad you found me!
Same and now it’s on 🤸🏾♀️💜💜💜 thank you
You have saved me. I struggle with round cakes. I am so excited to try this.
You can do it!
Same.
🎉THANK YOU! I wasn't looking forward to spending hundreds of dollars for some wonky kit!
Works just as well as a frost form and you save a whole Lotta money great tutorial thank you
This is diabolical! Wow! I’ve got to try this.
I actually like that idea. Its came out so clean. I definitely dislike scraping the cake. I have the hardest time trying to smooth it out. Thank you for the tip
Thank you! I think for those who dislike scraping, this would be a great alternative.
@@IcingOnTopBeckysCakes I'm definitely going to try your method
Let me know how it goes for you!
@@IcingOnTopBeckysCakes I definitely will. Thanks again
Can we do this for normal ganache
Yess thank you! I got a Frost Form and it isn’t as easy as it seems. I had seen people putting their buttercream on a cake collar and then smoothing it around but this hack is genius!
I am going to attempt this next week! Thank you for this lifesaving hack.
Hi this reminds me of the frost form,,exactly wat I was looking for
I’m glad you found what you needed! 😊
this is great because the frost form kit is 100 bucks yikes!
Love this!!! You did a fantastic job. I will use your idea for sure 😊😊😊😊😊
Hi, thank you for the tutorial ! This actually resembles how French entremets are layered, except we do it upside down so you get a flat top immediately. They are filled with mousse then covered with a glaçage once frozen, but the idea is the same!
I did purchase Acetate sheets i cant wait to use this thank u
How did you make the top so straight and smooth? I observed that you were working with a spatula but at the end looks so even. Great job . Can you please share with us ? Thank you so much for sharing your technique 💕🌸
I can’t wait to try this!
I've been chasing the frost form for a while to see if become more affordable but too expensive and at least here in Canada we will need to pay extra fee for customs and all that.Thank you!
Thank you! You are the only one actually to have shared this idea with an acetate! Thank you. ☺ cheers to you!
Thank you! Glad you liked it!
She sure is and I mean I searched lol
Omg this will help me a lot specially im a small home baker :( and its a lot of money to get frost form, i couldn’t afford it yet:(
I’m so glad it will be helpful to you!
Share any hack to scrap whipping cream cake please ..i cant 😢
Incredible helpful idea! I love it!
Can I use adjustable ring instead of trimming the cake.
Thank goodness for this video!!!! I was going to buy that frost form also but this hack is so great and awesome and I really want to say thank you!!! You just got a new subscriber and a like on this video❤

Genius idea! Thanks for sharing ❤️
This was wonderful and very informative! If I want to frost an 8 inch round cake should my acetate collar be 10 inches?
Omg!! I just ordered this stuff from Amazon to try before buyin a frostvform and this video pops up in my feed😊😊😂
Omg! Love this hack!!! ❤❤❤❤❤ Thank you my cake sister!!!!!!!
You are so welcome!
Is it for whipped cream?
I have bought deveral cakes from bakeries with the collar still on the cake. Is that common?
I have tried a hack of my own. Epic fail! 😂 I would keep eyeing the 4” frost form (that’s the size I want for the mini cakes I make) but my gosh! It comes out to $90 on sale when shipping is added!! I am going to try this.

Awesome idea. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for this tip I almost payed 300 something worth for the frost Form kit their really expensive to be honest
This is brilliant! Thank you :)
Magnificent, you are a love❤ Can you make it for square cake?
Wonder if this will work on whipped icing?
That's a video I have been looking for.
Omg so glad I came across your video!
Me too!!
Awesome. What a time saver hack
Is it can make it with fresh cream ?
Nice trick I’m happy I didn’t pay a fortune for the frost form ❤️❤️❤️
Hello Becky, here from 🇨🇦!. Can I make this method with any type of buttercream?. Really good video!!.
Thank you! I’m sure it would work with other buttercreams too but here is the one I use th-cam.com/video/wkzg3FGvbwM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=-PPM7kR9RtcN6kaG
Great Hack 👍🏾 👌
Very good tutorial! Thank you so much for this
You're very welcome!
Great hack! I have to ask since this video is 1 yr old, did the people at frost form steal your idea? This is a wonderful hack, thanks for sharing!
Can we do this with whipping cream frosting
Awesome idea 😊
Thank you!
I almost feel stupid for purchasing the frost form because when I saw it I was so excited & now I see this video thank you for posting! Have you ever tried it with a vegan buttercream? My business is strictly gluten & dairy free so my buttercream isn’t “normal” I tried it in the frost form & all the frosting was stuck to the form

I haven’t tried it with dairy free buttercream but I bet it would work
Yikes have you had any luck with the frost form using your dairy free frosting? I also use dairy free & was going to purchase the frostform but im thinking of doing this method first & see what happens. Please let me know if you have had any luck thx
@smorffis I haven’t tried with the dairy free yet but I’m guessing it would be similar
This is a frost form alternative
YUP!!!!
Great video. What kind of buttercream are you using?
Thanks! I’m using my American Buttercream recipe th-cam.com/video/wkzg3FGvbwM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ZiY0S9OPmbM9hGC1
Can you use a cake ring too?
I haven’t tried that but I definitely would give it a go.
Yes and you could use a loose bottom cake pan
Thank you so much 💓!
Best Cake decoration site I have ever had the pleasure of coming across. So easy to follow and learn from. Could you sent me a link for the printable practice sheet, as I am having a problem when finding ones that print. Thanks Or if anyone else read this comment can you let me know .
Sure! Just send me a message on Facebook. (Icing On Top - Becky’s Cakes) It’s easier to send a picture that way.
Thank you ! ❤❤❤
Thank you for saving me from frost form!❤ Do you have a buttercream for this hack? TIA
This is the recipe I use th-cam.com/video/wkzg3FGvbwM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=EAuiJo5FUjqmX10N
Hi thanks almost about to spend $188 in frost form until i came up on your page thank
I tried this, but making the acetate round was a fail. It was so curly, it just wouldn’t make the shape easily.
I’m a newbie to cake decorating. Do you think this would work on a whip cream frosting? Awesome video!
Thanks! I haven’t experimented with whip cream frosting using this method. It would be worth a try!
Hello, Thank you for a good video. Would this work for a runny butter ganache? Not just buttercream?
Many thanks
I haven’t experimented with ganache yet but I would think that it would work well
Oh, thank you for taking the time ro reply! Im visually impaired & in a panic about my mums birthday cake. I dont want to fork out for frost. F but want to use the butter ganache. Most loose bottom cake tins have an edge similar to the frostf plastic thing. Trial & error i suppose. Thanks!@IcingOnTopBeckysCakes
It's also a big risk of ingredients just running everywhere
Does this work with chocolate ganache made with compound chocolate?
I haven’t yet tried it with ganache but I think it would work really well
@@IcingOnTopBeckysCakes I'm going to try it myself. I'll let you know how it goes!
How is it going? 😊
Can you do this with finowhip??
Hi, this is what I'm looking for months.. and you are a life saver!! thank you so much for this hack and would like to know.. will this works well with whipping cream and chocolate ganache?
TIA ❤️ love from India❤️
I would have to experiment. I’ve only tried it with buttercream 😊
So cool hack❤
Thank you!
will this work with chocolate ganache?
I haven’t done it with ganache yet but I think it would work really well with it.
Thank u soo much
Can you crumb coat your cake? Since you’ve cut the sides and exposed them I’d worry that I’d catch some crumbs in the frosting, Clutz that I am.
Yes, you can crumb coat it first
Amazing!
Hello, I'm hoping to try this with my dons birthday cake because I hate covering with fondant 😅 any tips on how to cut the edges of the cake down by half an inch?
You could use a cardboard circles as a guide.
They have circle cake cutters at hobby lobby. Fingers crossed for me today for my daughter bday cake lol
Is the board still under the cake or did you remove it?
There will still be a board under the cake.
@@IcingOnTopBeckysCakes thank you for your supply. ☺️
This is the alternate option of frost form❤
Can I use a whipped cream and get the same result?
I would have to experiment with it. The reason buttercream or ganache works is because you can slightly melt it before piping it down
Can we use this with whipped cream also?
I haven’t tried that yet. I’d have to experiment
Hello, love this however when I tired the cellophane stuck to my frosting 😢 I put in the freezer for about 2 mins and used your frosting recipe but the frosting also didn’t seem to go to the bottom of the cake. Any ideas of where I went wrong? 😅

Can this method be used on a heart shaped cake?

@@IcingOnTopBeckysCakes Should I cut the cake smaller too?
Plan on following this tutorial for my Christmas cakes. Thank you for the help!
You’re welcome!
Hi! Can whipping Cream be used in this method instead of buttercream?
Hi! I haven’t tried this with whipping cream yet. I would have to experiment
What do you recommend for a taller cake?
taller acetate maybe? or maybe sticking two together xx
Is it a must that I trim the cake? I'm not good at trimming. I always ruin the shape. So for a 6 inch cake should I use a 8 inch pan to ice the cake?
It all depends on how thick you want the buttercream. I trimmed a bit off the same size cake so I wouldn’t have as thick of a layer.
@IcingOnTopBeckysCakes OK. So I can still ice the 6 inch cake in the 6 inch pan without trimming it?
@MsBlacMusicButterfly you would need to trim it a little bit so that the buttercream can fit around it.
@@IcingOnTopBeckysCakes Thank you. I appreciate you answering!
Cake cutters at hobby lobby got some yesterday @MsBlacMusicButterfly
Awesome thanks
Genius.
Ese truco ya me lo sabia y no estar gastando tanta plata en ese kit q lo venden a mas 60 dolares en Peru no los encuentro a la venta..
Brilliant!

Isn’t there a product on the market now for this?
I’ve recently seen something called a FrostForm that does something similar but I can’t afford something like that 😂
Learning and perfecting a skill will save you time ans money. Theres no such thing as short cuts short cuts don't always give the desire look you want
Can this hack work with ganache?
I would have to try it out. I think ganache would work even better if done right
@@IcingOnTopBeckysCakes Thank you
Yes it does with a different ratio and it also works brilliantly with chocolate biscuit cake
Wow beautiful, thank you for sharing your video. Where do you get your plastic from?
I buy my acetate cake collars from Amazon

Did anyone try this ? Do that work ?
I did and not for me
Has anyone tried this with ganache?
ima have to try this bc my carpal tunnel has been acting up and as much as i love baking, i don’t look forward to frosting the cakes lol
