I’m a self taught cake decorator. I mostly do cakes for family no charge. I have in the past sold cakes in my younger years. You are amazing. I used your buttercream recipe for a grandsons birthday cake recently. It was the best cake ever. I wished I were younger(I’m 68). I would love to start doing cakes again for a business but doing cakes bothers my back to the point I go to bed with back pain. Uhggg! And people are said that I don’t do cakes anymore. You inspire me. ❤️

I absolutely LOVE your personality 💞 I totally can relate to your style, challenges and just about everything I’ve seen you do so far!! I have a question though, before this video I watched your American buttercream video, you didn’t sift your powdered sugar, whenever I don’t sift, I end up with sugar “clumps” you don’t? Or am I using an inferior brand 😅

@KarolynsKakes

2 жыл бұрын

Thank you Denece! Yeah, the cheaper brands tend to clump. I sift when I make fondant. With the buttercream, I whip it so the clumps aren't really an issue. However, it creates air bubbles, so I have a smoothing technique that helps get rid of them. I show it in this video! kzread.info/dash/bejne/poh5xJhyYNTaesY.html

Thanks so much for the tutorial. Can I stencil onto Italian meringue buttercream? Do you know if it will work?

@KarolynsKakes

2 жыл бұрын

I never worked with meringue buttercreams. However my friend does, so I asked her. She said that it's difficult, but it can be done. It doesn't crust and softens quickly, so she recommends you pop it in the freezer for 20 minutes or so and stencil it when the icing is frozen.

I love this! Just invested in some stencils but I’m sooo intimidated😭😭 how long should I refrigerate before attempting this?

@KarolynsKakes

2 жыл бұрын

I usually ice my cakes and refrigerate overnight before I start decorating them. It has to be long enough that the butter in the icing can solidify and you won't mess up the icing when you're working with it. So I would say at least 5 hours? And don't be scurrd! 😂

This is Pam! I have to make a cake in Rose Gold for a Louis Vuitton round cake. I bought a stencil and wonder if I should use rose gold luster dust to fill in the stencil with a brush or do I need to spray it over the stencil? I plan on using Italian Meringue Buttercream and then place stencil on top of buttercream after cake is well chilled but not sure if luster dust using a brush or liquid gold would do the job? Can you give me some advice? I love your videos! Thank you.

@KarolynsKakes

I didn't freeze it before stenciling. I took it out of the refrigerator (I refrigerate all of my cakes.) The icing was solid when I took it out of the fridge so it wasn't going to get messed up. I put the cake in the freezer for 5 minutes so the black stencil icing could get hard pretty fast and I could continue the stencil on the other side of the cake without messing up the stencil I just did. I hope that makes sense!

I don't freeze the cake. I put it in the refrigerator. I ice my cakes one day and then decorate the next. So it's in the fridge for at least 24 hours before I apply the stencil. You want the icing to be hard so you don't mess it up. I would recommend having the cake in the refrigerator for at least 6 or more hours before you add the stencil so your icing can be really hard!
