Melt the frosting and chocolate separately then pour the chocolates into the frosting before pouring everything onto the cake. That's what worked for me and I was using the cheap chocolate.
Cheap chocolate works best for this kind of thing
This is when cheap queens slay
Sammy Johnson I figured that would work. I've also added coconut oil to the chocolate which was recommended for our chocolate fountain and thinned it out nicely.
Yea,I was wondering why she didnt .
That's what I was thinking 😂
Whenever she mentioned tempered chocolate I couldn't stop thinking about Claire and Chris 😂 BA fans?
Trust me Rachel, you don't wanna try 😂
Same! Lol
Chris Morocco would be forcing Rach to temper the chocolate for sure
Hahahahaha right 🤣
😂😂
Yeah same
Y’all should check out How to Cook That debunking all these viral baking hack videos
Eeeeeeeei
YAY ANOTHER HOW TO COOK THAT FAN!💙💙💙
Yup
Uhuuu I love how to cook thattttt
YASSS! Another how to cook that fan!!
I used to sell cupcakes with the rainbow-ish frosting. I “painted” the sides of the piping bag with the different colors and then filled it with just plain white icing. When it comes out, it takes on all the colors since the outermost layer of the icing is all colored. And it does come out like a rainbow.
This is how I did it as well
Same. I came here to say the same thing. Painting the sides of the piping bag is the easiest and turns out beautifully.
Or use smaller bags for the colors and then combine the bags into the bigger piping bag and then there won’t be any blending of the colors.
for the first hack you should try melting the milk chocolate first and then pour it in the frosting then melt it for 20 seconds and then pour on the cake
better not melt it in the microwave. the chocolate got too hot. Better use a bain marie
Hoerbe Z you can melt chocolate in the microwave, just need to do it in 15 seconds increments and stir each time it comes out
Maybe use melting chocolate instead of real chocolate with a homemade buttercream.
You cant really "Stick" melted chocolate in frosting tho? You would have to mix it but it may ruin the marble look
@@raindrop98 it wont thought. Pouring it in without mixing ( putting it in in a few place and not just the middle) will make a marble effect especially if you pour it maybe 6- 8 inches from the cake slowly. Soap making uses the same technique with the same results.
With the marble effect cake I recommend melting the different chocolates in different containers then pouring the dark into the middle of the white chocolate and *then* pouring it. It will help because the different chocolates have different cooking times and so cooking them differently will stop the lumps and overcooking.
That's what I was thinking...good idea😊
A lazy susan lets you create some really fun swirl effects, mirror glazes, etc.
Birthday traditions: mine is close to Valentine’s Day, and I often have Valentine’s themed parties. But more importantly, my mother would make me a heart shaped cake every year. Unfortunately she passed away when I was 9; however, my older sister continued our mother’s tradition of making me a heart shaped birthday cake every year. 💜 It wasn’t until I was about 18 that I realized it (we’re not always observant as teens, lol) and it made me love and appreciate my sister more than ever before. It’s little things like that that make all the difference in the world in keeping us close to our loved ones who have died, and close to those still living. 💜
I’m sorry for your loss... ☹️
My mom always made the dinner we wanted for our birthdays it'll be two years since she passed in Oct. I'm sorry for your loss
Marianna Thadison 💗
Rachel Parks I’m sorry you lost your mama too! 💜
@@rachelparks495 we have the same tradition, only ours includes dinner out if that's what you want, and I have continued this tradition with my husband and children.
With the rainbow effect don't mix the colors on one sheet. Use ziploc bags(or piping bags) for each color and let them marry together in the tip. That prevents the colors from blending to the grey like it did.
You can definitely do it the way she tried it. I recently did 8colors in one and when I tell you that rainbow was on and popping. Absolutely gorgeous. I had no problems. I even used sandwich bag instead of saran wrap.
Also, don't squeeze from the center of the bag - you'll squish the colors together and the heat from your hands will warm it.
@@warnerp.7735 Yes exactly!! You need to push from the top, nothing else!!
I was going to say this..from my personal experience I’ve had better luck putting the colors in seperate bags and then joining them in a bigger bad together. I mostly use this technique for cupcakes and everyone loves them!

You'll actually want to use the lower quality chocolate for the decorative pieces
or do what Pat Maurer does in the replies
Agreed, unless you are great at tempering chocolate, which I definitely am not, the fake chocolate will hold its shape at room temp. Candy melts all the way.
I use (food-grade) cocoa butter in place of any cream or oil, because it intensifies the chocolate flavor and is stable at room temperature! :-)

WOF MudSandSkySeaRainIceNightHiveSilkLeafwing wtf is your name
“One piece of *light* chocolate” LOL that’s the first time i’ve heard milk chocolate being called that, white chocolate is gonna be albino chocolate lol
lmao, at first i thought she was talking about white chocolate and it sorta confused me
I work at a chocolate shop. I've heard "light" chocolate so many times and I had no idea people called milk chocolate "light" 😂😂😂
tae bae “albino chocolate” when you think about it that fits white chocolate though not only because of it’s color but also it’s lack of cacao
Jesus Is The Truth that makes sense lol
@@ItsQueenJane white chocolate doesn't contain any actual cacao, albinos have little/no melanin. That's why she said albino fits white chocolate 👀😂
When you swirl frosting in a piping bag you should cut the plastic wrap tube thing at the bottom and then it’ll go into the piping tip easier with less muddying of the colors. Also, a bigger tip always helps with the colors! Thick fluffy frosting also really helps :)
Squeezing from the top DOWN helps when piping the 3 colour icing. Also, I'm guessing the hole at the bottom should have been bigger. :)
I just watch how to cook that , and she said when you are making buttercream DON'T use any milk and water just whisk the butter then add you powered sugar. Then when that is all smooth you can add some vanilla but don't add any liquids. i did the same thing and the icing curdled. i hope this helped.
“Do you say caramel or carmel “
me : yes

for the marble icing use candy melts and it works great
You are whipping air into the frosting, that is what is causing extra volume.

Oh Rachel 😂😂😂
Megan Fielding Carmel or caramel?? Or could be carmull or car-a-mel

I recommend Wilton buttercream icing recipe online, however only use 3 cups of icing sugar. I get si many compliments on my icing
You're killing me not using a rubber spatula with the whipped Icing.😂

I use the purple food colouring trick all the time. Less food colouring means less colouring flavour (which isn't really tasty). it works best with large amounts of icing, and homemade. you can also use the same colour theory for making green leaves less bright and more natural (use a tiny bit of red), or to make pinks look softer for flowers (use green). For the swirly icing, you do need a bigger tip for the colours to look separate enough. You can roll the colours separately as well. The first bit is always weird, so you have to squeeze enough out to get the colours you want. I don't use this hack, because of the waste. I just stripe the colours in the bag. Some of these have good thought behind them, but it would actually be easier to do it the right way (melt the chocolate first when do do the first one, temper the chocolate for the honeycomb one, just make real icing for the last one). Also, make sure your frosting is cold. put it in the fridge before using it and you'll have much more control, and it will look a lot less messy.
Food coloring tastes awful. I hate when someone wants a red or black cake. I did just learn that activated charcoal can be used to make black and it had no taste.
@@cd4536 i never thought of that! I heard of making chocolate icing into red or black since it's easier, but i guess sometimes you want a black cake that isn't chocolate! Good to know!
Add a splash of heavy cream or milk to store bought frosting in a mixer and whisk it. I do that in a pinch and it works great :). It also cancels out the sweetness a bit.

Birthday tradition! My parents always get me a personalized Coldstone Cake (chocolate cake with cake batter ice cream with black cherries, bananas, almonds, and caramel) for my birthday when I go visit them. I’m also 34. We just celebrated my birthday last week and the cake was wonderful! I look forward to it all year and I don’t think I’ll ever get too old! I LOVE holiday traditions!
The icing looks grainy because it is over whipped. Unfortunately it's not easy to fix and you really have to start over with fresh icing.
Also it might help to have it colder.
Bubble Butt cream of tartar or lemon juice (tiny amount) can help stabilize it - you can also get stabilizer from supermarkets
I'm confused, is it her birthday? I don't think I heard her mention a birthday at all!

The chef in me is yelling at the screen being like “use a spatula!!!” 😂 happy birthday Rachel 🥳
I don't say care-mel or car-mel. I say care-a-mel (cara-mel). Most people forget that there's another a in carAmel
Saaaaaame
Absolutely correct!
Me toooo
I say Cara-Mel
Well actually the one where you don’t use the second a is a misspelling used for proper nouns while the other is for the actual candy
omg I love your sense of humor! I was laughing throughout the whole video!
Your energy is so refreshing!
Always said care-a-mel until I started working at Starbucks and that extra syllable just had to go in order to say it approx 400,000 times a day 😂
I just discovered your channel and I've been watching your videos for about two hours waiting for my husband to get home. 😂 Honestly, you could do anything and your personality alone would interest me.
Also, as a cake decorator, you would do SO WELL decorating with a coupler. It's pretty much a plastic part with threads that you put into the icing bag before you put icing into it, and the part that threads on (it threads onto the outside of the bag so that your icing won't spill and gives it a really secure hold) you can insert just about any commercially available decorating tip into and interchange super flawlessly as needed. You already have a wonderful natural talent with icing than you give yourself credit for. Happy birthday! 🎂
Birthday tradition: For as long as I can remember, I have gotten KFC for my birthday. When I was a kid and teen, my brothers, sister and I got KFC. We would share a bucket between us all. I'm 40, and my sister is 38; I have a photo of her on her 2nd birthday and on a tablecloth in front of her on the floor, is a bucket of chicken. I had to keep the tradition going.
Happy happy birthday! Also I’m def not going to complain about multiple baking videos in a row 😊
Kathy Liu i thought you meant deaf💀
“As you can tell by my phone case, i love marble”
Not like anyone noticed the phone case before the countertops...
I was worried no one had made this comment! (Had to scroll a long ways). I was like, "yes, the phone is what will tip is off..."
zapdara i was worried nobody would care or some rich kid would be like “everyone has marble countertops” 😂😂
Except .. she has granite benchtops
She doesnt have marble countertops. That's granite.
What about her countertops would make you think she likes marble? Her countertops aren't marble 🤷🤦
just a tip: when piping, i recommend that when you hold the piping bag, you have your non-dominant hand in front, and your dominant hand at the back. when you pipe, squeeze at the back, not the front, and guide with your front hand. i learned this in consumers class - really a big help 😇
Rachel: do you say caramel or caramel?
Me: ....caramel
Aloni Lorax but it’s spelled the same
Peneak Songmanee yep, that’s the joke.
I agree with Sammy Johnson - melt separately, swirl together, pour over cake. Happy Birthday!!!
I love your videos. You're not afraid to show mistakes. Respectable.
In the piping bag, you line each icing starting thin at the tip and out to the end of the piping bag. Then you squeeze down till it comes out the tip. Also sticking it in the frige before you squeeze it might help.
I love how you can see regional differences. Icing VS frosting.
You have to cut one end of the plastic wrap after you roll it up. Then put it in the piping bag.
I'm early for the first time

also : Happy birthday Rachel 💖💖
H&R Web no
The way you do it lightly and like normal people is simply great
Dear rach, you need piping bag tips! Twist the top of de piping bag a few times. Now put this bit between you thumb and index finger. Now, with the rest of your hand, squeeze. Twist the bag more to keep te pressure consistent. Use your other hand to guide the bag.

i was so pumped to see icing tips bc i'm new to soapmaking and i want to learn how to pipe with soap but lol as i watch you struggle with the piping, i've grown more worried for myself to try piping with soap, i'm hoping it's easier than this lmao but i have a feeling it's probably harder, still i feel inspired to try!
Why am I watching her videos non stop when i don't even eat sugar anymore!!! I'm not craving for anything but i love to watch her make cookies. Does that even make any sense? OMGGGGGG 😂😂😂
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! 🎂 Notification squad!!! These videos make my weekend!!! Best part of the day!!! 🥰
Its whiter because air is whipped into the mixture. This was so much fun youre amazing. Thank you x
For the multicolored frosting, try twisting the ends of the plastic wrap tightly, feed the end through the piping tip like you're threading a needle so that you can pull it down once it's in, and then clip the end of the plastic wrap (and unwind if necessary). Also I recommend a coupler for your piping tips. That way the tip is outside the bag and can be changed if you need it bigger or smaller or round vs star tip. Also the giant tips with the giant couplers are great for multicolored frosting too. Awesome hacks, great video! And you're super cute with how excited you are about your birthday.
For the icing: twist both ends of the plastic wrap after adding the icing; cut the tip off one end of the plastic sausage; stick it in the piping bag. You may have to squeeze a bit of icing out of the bag before you get what you’re looking for, but it will work eventually (and will always fit in the bag). Another hack? Chip bag clips from ikea for the end of your piping bag (or a simple twist tie) to prevent the icing from coming out the top (also, don’t fill your piping bag so much). I use purple to whiten my buttercream all the time. Not perfect white but definitely passable for all but a wedding cake. Love your videos!
Happy Birthday weekend Rachel !! Enjoy your day and wear them Pajamas loud and proud... love ya girl

Interesting video. As for a cake decorating hack, I remember when I was about 12 wanting to enter a chocolate cake in my local fall fair baking contest, but discovered that I didn't have the ingredients needed to frost it. What I did was to grab my mom's doily off of the dining table, place it on top of the cake like a stencil, then heavily sprinkle it with icing sugar. When I lifted the doily off, there was a *beautiful* pattern left behind. (I actually won a ribbon for it.)

using candymelts could help with the needing things tempered issue, and a few people mentioned melting the chocolate first, then adding it to the icing for the marbling effect.
I like the bubble wrap tip! I'll have to try that some time
A fellow August Leo baby here! I knew there was a reason I felt such a strong connection to you! (I mean that intro, probably the most Leo thing I have ever seen). A birthday tradition at my house is that we reuse the same candle from my 15th birthday not just for my birthday, but for everybody. Also because my birthday usually was a week or two before school, every year I would get about $100 to spend on school supplies, so I never had those basic highlighters or pencils, your girl went all out! 😂 Now since I have finished school, I just buy myself new pens or stationary from Japan b/c I refuse to let that tradition go!
This was very satisfying😊 also happy birthday Rachel💖
I say caramel the British sort of way. But I'm British so of course I would 😂
Karina C I say it both ways, car-mal and cara-mel and just randomly says it different ways each time
To do the first hack melt the icing and chocolate separately then once both are melted pour chocolate straight into icing dont mix maybe drizzle then pour i tried this and it worked for me better with this method
I feel like Rachel is a elementary science teacher and we’re her class and she’s telling us what to do for our experiment, but she’s like, “ wait class let me show you first, then you can attempt and show me your results.”
Just me, ok.😂😂
About the icing color swirls you need a big cupcake swirl tip. Also you should snip a hole in the bottom of the cylinder. It would have been fine in the bag the way the cylinder works is it seals at the back. The only problem was to small of a tip. 😊😊
I’ve been scrolling through TH-cam all day waiting for this
Use couplers they allow u to switch ur tips easily without a mess🤗
Yey another August baby ❤️❤️❤️ happy birthday Rachel!
A tip with melting chocolate is that it’s really to do it in a microwave so doing it in a bowl on top of boiling water is better and easier
best buttercream recipe you will ever need is salted butter, powdered sugar (icing sugar), vanilla and milk. I do a pound of butter and whisk until it doubles or triples in size (usually around 5 minutes or so on high), 4 cups sifted powdered sugar, about a tablespoon of milk ( may need more or less depending on the desired thickness. whole milk. you can use heavy cream but will need refrigeration after) 1-3 teaspoons vanilla (I use more vanilla as we love the flavor. I also will use other flavorings depending on the cake. then I use half vanilla and half another flavoring)
Swiss meringue is the best 😊
5 egg whites
1 plus two tablespoons sugar
Wisk over double boiler until sugar.
Start mixer at low then gradually to high with whip attachment for about 10 min (until bowl is no longer hot)
2 cups butter. In cubes. Add one at a time and make sure nice and mixed in.
Switch to paddle attachment (add any flavoring) on medium speed for about 2 min.
So much silkier and smoother and not as sweet as American buttercream
I love how you are in your pjs and just had fun!
Im from Denmark, and in Denmark we Call IT " Karamel " 😂🙊
Jeg elsker Danmark!
Do it with toffee!! 😋😋🤤🤤🤤
If you used a spatula to scrape the bowl, I think you’d have much more icing.
