I love everything about this video. I love how she didn't skimp out on filling. I love that the layers aren't ridiculously huge. I love that she started from the beginning, because I had no idea how I was going to transfer the cake from the disc to the cake board I wanted the cake on. I didn't realize the board goes ON the disc. Great video. I wish I had these smoothing skills. Although, I find that the heat from the scraper changes the color of the buttercream.

I’m still curious how she got it off without putting marks in the sides
Wow perfect thank youuuu for sharing ❤️
Very helpful. Thank you!
Ok. First time ever that I see someone leveling the cake before icing and it actually turns out great. Awesome job.

I used this method last night and it ended up ok but it didnt start that way lol. I didnt crumb coat, which I should have done, and I should have applied my parchment like you did at the top. I will definitely use your method in the future
Omg thank you so much for this video

If you flip the top layer over to use the bottom of the pan side for the top, you will have a square edge to start with, rather than building it with soft icing.
Hi, Can it be used in whipped cream frosting
May I ask what kind of buttercream you were using? And how much larger is the acrylic board to the cake circle? It works fantastically.

Hello! I use meringue based buttercream. The cake disk I’m using is the 8.25” one, and my cake is slightly smaller than 8” round
COOL G RAPP layout
Do you prefer .25 over .5 in the acrylic discs? I want to order some but wasn’t sure about the thickness
@Lacupella
3 жыл бұрын
It all depends on the diameter of you actual cake. Get .50 if your cake doesn’t shrink after baked or shrinks a little bit. And get .25 if your cake shrinks a bit more
Once you have removed the cake and cake card from the acrylic, how do you then attach it to a cake board?

Just run a spatula between the acrylic and cake board and the cake will be free to transfer to any display base

I don’t understand why her cakes are domed. She could have used cake strips to prevent that or cut the dome. You can still see that the very top has hardly any icing, which will not look great one cut.

Listen little girl… I am not the person to take unsolicited advice from a child. But again, since you decided to try and put me in my place once more, I will comment back for the last time, as I have better things to do as an adult then go back and forth with you. First, before you hit send spell check your work and try to make it grammatically correct (if you can). Second, before you decide to be the Queen of Righteousness and call people out online - think again and don’t. If I felt so compelled I could take you to your knees. Do NOT bother to comment back, as I am not interested in anything that you think you have to say. Now be a good little girl and go play outside… it’s a beautiful day!
It's a waste of time to leave part of top of cake exposed instead of just putting enough icing on to start with.
