    Hi @CakesbyLynz Love your channel and am planning to do some cakes . I’m still learning! Can you please tell me how you transfer your cakes from the icing turntable to the fondant covered cake boards ? Some information on this would be really helpful as I’m unsure on how to do this and can’t find the information in your videos.

    Recipe for perfect cupcakes everytime. Weigh the eggs first, whatever the weight is, use that weight to measure out the sugar, butter and flour (ensure to sift) then Dont add vanilla essence, just 2 tbsps of milk. Basically every ingredient the same weight- bar the milk minus v.essence. Cant go wrong. For a birthday cake, just double the weight of the flour, it just makes the cake alittle firmer.🙂

    @@tashamariasoprano3239 Hi Tasha, I usually create my cakes on a glass cutting board which I place onto my turntable. I then transfer my cakes using a long offset spatula and a regular wider spatula. You can see me do this in alot of my cake tutorials including this one: kzread.info/dash/bejne/n4R8tcGbeqzQpbw.html I then stick the cake to my board with a small amount of buttercream or ganache.

    lol, it does depend on how much buttercream I have in my mixer. I started the mixer on the lowest level and only tuned it up when it started to combine. I often do forget and just turn it right up and have it everywhere, lol. If I was making more buttercream I do have a lid I can put on which helps the icing sugar flying out of the bowl. Its a great tip to add a towel over the top if you don't have a lid.

I would have never thought to use a dash of purple to make the icing brighter. I also like the way you compared the finished product with other ingredients that are similar in color as a point of reference. Fantastic video!

    I make my buttercream like this too! The only downside I have found from adding the purple is that if it's a really hot day and the butter warms up too much it can melt slightly and add a bit more yellow to the buttercream and having added the purple it gives this off green kind of colour

    I'm so glad you like it. I love this recipe, but sometimes you need it just a little bit lighter.
