How to Decorate Your First Cake
Ready to make your first cake but don't know where to start? Today I'm going to show you how to decorate your very first cake and explain every step from tools, baking, trimming, frosting with sharp edges and of course decorating!
Decorating a cake doesn't have to be difficult. In fact, when I first started decorating cakes I knew nothing about it! This video is a great tutorial for beginners and a great way to learn the fundamentals of making beautiful cakes.

I used a plastic ruler for a bench scraper until I got one, and an old plastic lazy susan until I got a decent turntable for $21 on eBay. You can cut the corner out of a plastic bag to decorate. Cut vertical angles into the tip of a bag if you don't have a tip. Where there's a will, there's a way! Good luck.

I used a ruler.. was still a mess.. sooooo said.. I dont need smooth... ah haaa.... cut notches out of a piece of cardboard and used that.. I had rings on sides!
Do you HAVE to have a turn table? NO! But you don't HAVE to decorate cakes either! Lol that was awesome!

My 7 y/o granddaughter wants to decorate cakes after she s made about 4 homemade pound cakes (supervision only ). I know nothing about cake decorating so we will both try this as our first layered cake. Made her Easter basket filled with beginner baking supply kit . Turntable , Leveler and all . In a bright pink . She will love it!!! Can’t wait to try this as our first cake . With strawberry purée too ) thanks so much for this video !!! We both will have a blast !
Your are a marvel Liz one thing i did learn from a pretty good baker. Was to flip your cake on to piece of parchment paper on a flat surface and by the time its fully cooled the top is flat with no markings. I love watching your videos. Love from Northern Ireland xx
This tutorial is brilliant and much needed, thank you!!

This is a great video!!! You explain things so well and you have the best personality!! I really believe now that I can do this. Wouldn't this make a cute Christmas cake too with some Christmas colored sprinkles The swirls on top could be made a little higher and colored with green food coloring to look like Christmas trees. Do you think that would work? Also would an inexpensive lazy susan work as a turntable?
Hi I love your video it helped out so much since I live in New York because of university and my family lives on England

I once heard that someone used the inside of their microwave ( ie glass plate and the wheel component). I found this idea out after I purchased 3 different turntables🤦♀️ Each one either didn’t turn smoothly ( actually all 3 don’t spin smooth) or were not stable. I should have just bought the Ateco cast iron bottom turntable I wanted in the first place. I don’t have a business yet, but I am on my way there! Sugar flowers are my favorite to make and arrange for my cakes
Wow this was very helpful and awesome 😎
You're hilarious and talented. *Subscribed*
