You always have to change up something, sometimes my eggs are just too big, or the oven needs less time, other setting,... Many times I need to also add more moisture, as in oil or water, maybe my brand of flour is just very drying? Or when I cook, I often play with the flavors and herbs. Cooking is really about making it your own, if you must always follow directions to a t, just go to the bakery

@@knightshade909 baking often involves eggs, I've never had a standard egg, so I very often need to subtract some eggs. Our chickens lay either really big or really really small ones. Or older eggs are more watery so I need more flour and sugar. Also if I decide to switch to soy or nut milk, the taste changes and I add more sugar or stevia. Also salt usually. Lots of things aren't cookie cutter in baking, the myth that baking has to be exact is long debunked.

My mom used to do a small cake business and I helped her a lot, but when you frost the cake, you're supposed to start with a "crumb coat" which is essentially just a really thin layer of frosting (thin enough that you can see the cake through it), then you refrigerate it for a while and then go back and do more frosting over the crumb coat. It makes the frosting much more even. You can also get a flat spatula, dip it in hot water and run it along the sides and top to make the frosting SUPER smooth looking.

Baking Tips! When you are decorating your cake what you can do so your cake won't be moving around is use a little dollop of frosting on the cake stand When you are smoothing your cakes you can dip your smoother or spatula in hot water then dry it with a napkin and will make it easier for the cake to be smooth Side note: when you make buttercream frosting you have to first whip your butter until it is light and fluffy then add your powdered sugar and a splash of vanilla, mix that up until it is a good consistency then you can add a little bit of milk or heavy whipping cream if it is to stiff

A good way to put the frosting in the bag is put it in a glass and fold the sides over that makes it soooo much easier (also while I’m watching this I’m drooling because I just love icing)

I'm a home baker who runs a baking business and here's a tip for getting frosting into bags: get the tip into the bag and then put the bag into a tall cup/glass, rounding the bag around the edges. Then you can scoop frosting and get it into the bag with both hands. Also, cake boards! You can buy cardboard circles so you don't have to scrape cakes off of the turn tables when you're done!

Something I found out is that, even if you use a box cake if you do milk instead of water it’ll be more fluffy and moist 🥰

“I don’t know why the frosting never turned out” then she throws away the recipe and says “we will just wing it” 😂

I feel like starting with a crumb coat might help with the frosting smoothing etc. Also placing them in the center of the turntable. Making the icing decorations separately, freezing and placing them may also help with precision.

I love how she is just eating the buttercream throughout the whole video 🤣 but honestly I would do the same thing!

Hey Mia, I do have a few tips for you. 1. When frosting cakes offset spatulas come in handy, they help ice you cakes much easier and swifter. 2. The way you used the cake leveler was... Unique. I would recommend searching for videos showing how to use it, because it’s hard to put into words 3. Before frosting with the colours, apply a crumb coat, a crumb coat is a thin layer of icing that catches all the crumbs so that when you put the final layer of icing you won’t see any of the original cake colour in some spots. (2 layered crumb coats are most effective and remember to chill each layer of icing. 4. When applying icing start by doing the sides with not so much icing and do the top last and smooth the sides. 5. Different icing tips are very useful, they help pipe small lines, and there are even flower shaped frosting tips, but they need a bit of experience. 6. When trying to make icing, definitely use measurements if you aren’t used to making icing a lot 7. Use your measuring cups and spoons, they may take time, but it the end you can get a much better result when doing homemade recipes That’s all the advice I have, I don’t know if it useful but hopefully it helps you 💗 And always remember KZread is your best friend and always search for videos if you’re in doubt.

Hey Mia So I know I’m 2 years late to the party but as a cake decorator myself with a couple of certificates I’d love to give a couple of tips haven’t read all the comments so not sure if someone already mentioned them or not. When covering the cake with buttercream frosting best for the cake to be cold and frosting room temp. Place the cake board, plate or paper that the cake will be stored on, on the turntable before you put the cake on it to cover and decorate makes for much easier transfer and transportation when needed. (Also tip always make the plate,paper… larger than the base of the cake) Putting the icing bag in a tall glass or jar and folding the top over the edges makes putting frosting, icing, filling etc. inside so much easier especially if your doing it alone, the bag stays open and you can keep the top clean for easier refilling and squeezing it out. Hope that makes sense ❤ Absolutely love watching your videos btw 🥰🤗

I’m surprised the leveler didnt break 🙈

Hello Mia of the past! Some advice, from two years in the future: If you don't have a grippy mat for your turn table, and aren't going to have cardboard on the bottom of your cake (please put cardboard on the bottom of your cake it makes moving everything easier and then you can just tape it to the turn table), you can use your frosting to stick it in place! Put a little blob of icing on the turn table, and either put the cake directly on that or put your parchment paper on that, put another blob, and then put your cake down. Buttercream makes for great decorating because it's very solid and sticks really well, and wiping those down after is pretty easy. Also if you do this again, I would just take one of those rounds and cut it in half, instead of stacking half of one on top of a full round. The filling in the middle and the frosting on top add a LOT of height to a cake, and there is only so much cake one person can and should eat in one sitting. Finally, this may have been said already but chill your cake after every step! Chill it after stacking your cake, so the filling hardens and keeps it stable while you apply your crumb coat. Chill it after applying your crumb coat so it's even more stable when you frost it for real. Chill it after frosting it so everything is firm and stable while you add the flourishes of decoration. Ideally you'd chill it for at least half an hour between steps but even ten minutes helps. Also, you can make the top of the cake more smooth by getting your metal spatula warm (you can dip it in hot water and dry it off, take a torch to it for two second bursts, or even just hold the tip between your hands until your body heat warms it up as long as your hands have been washed)- this will melt the very top layer of frosting as you smooth it!

I'm a cake decorator and I think my biggest tip for you would be to freeze your cake layers prior to icing if you didn't already do that. Also wow!! Youre so naturally talented!

Nothing wrong with using box cakes. I ALWAYS use them since my homemade cakes NEVER rise and that just breaks my confidence and hopes. A tip to make a box cake more delicious is to add some sweet condensed milk ( NOT TOO MUCH, a few tablespoons go a long way! ) some vanilla extract, and a bit of butter. If it's a chocolate box cake I recommend also adding cocoa powder and/or coffee. Also, to make it feel more homemade, you can whip up some egg whites and incorporate them into the batter. Box cakes really help us bakers who aren't confident enigh in our skills or run into issues while doing the actual baking step. It's also a huge help to people who are just getting into baking and/or are more focused on the decorating part. It's nothing to be ashamed of! 😊💛✨️

A tip I learned in high school. It’s called “dirty icing” a cake basically you use your white icing and spread it very thin on a cooled cake and it doesn’t have to be perfect then you chill the cake that way you don’t get crumbs in your final layer of icing.

Mia struggling with her hair while cake decorating is a whole mood😂

You are literally the most adorable person. Like you bring me so much joy! Please keep doing baking videos I loved this 💕

Mia for filling the piping bag an easier way to do it is to take a tall cup and then put the bag inside tip first. Then you can fold the top of the bag over the lip of the cup and pull down until there is enough room for however much frosting you need. Once you filled it you can take it out. Great vid!😁💙

Mia: I tried to make icing so many times and it never went well. Also Mia: I am throwing away the recipe. I can´t wait to see the result :D

Do it Mia! And do an outfit based off of your quiz results

Tip you can use paper towel to smooth the edges (just beware that prints will show up so use the plain side if possible). Also a small dab of frosting on the paper or cake board will keep it in place and make it easier to move. Chilling the cake after a crumb coat is super great but don't freeze the cake and decorate it frozen it will crack and split. I used to decorate cakes at a store now I do it for fun so yeah 😊 love this content ❤️

I'm wondering how many strands of her hair ended up in the frosting. But I loved watching this. She has such joy in trying things. We can all learn from her. Quit being afraid to fail and not even attempt things. Just go for it and have fun and laugh. I love this family.

My favourite thing about this is that it just made me feel like we were baking together, 5 minutes after deciding we wanted to be bakers, with no knowledge or experience. This was great.

When you're trying to fill a piping bag, what I always do is to put the bag in a tall cup and wrap the part sticking out around the edge of the cup like you would do for a trashbag, and you can just scoop it in

Mia😊 So thrilled knowing you're interested in baking. Tip! That wire thingy you've used for leveling,just hold then perpendicular to the table and pass through the cake and you'll have a perfectly leveled cake every time 😊

You could crumb coat your cake if you wanted to be 'professional'. Its a very thin layer of icing used to 'glue' crumbs down and it seal in the cake’s moisture and provides an even base for when you decorate it. You do the crum coat then put it in the fridge and then take it out to decorate it 💕

The difference between frosting and icing is frosting is thicker for cakes and started with a butter base usually. Icing is thinner for drizzling over a lemon bundt or muffins and started with confectionery sugar. People use the name interchangeably but they typically aren't. She's making a muffin drizzle icing then buys a thick fluffy frosting for the cakes.

watching you mix the cake better and listening to piano music was so therapeutic

Ok I just want to say I LOVE watching Mia do diy's as a beginner, it gives me a realistic idea of what will happen.

This video gives me a goooooood vibe ✨

For the icing:you should leave the butter ur till room temperature.after that wip the butter until it’s fluffy,add the powdered sugar and mix.if it looks like clumps DO NOT add liquid it will come together.if it doesn’t,1-2 tsps of liquid.add the vanilla and mix.for a runnier frosting add more milk,for a stiffer or something frosting add more icing sugar.ur welcome :)

echoing other bakers tips i’ve seen down below, follow the icing recipe, watch a leveling tutorial (i stink at it) , freeze your cakes, then do a crumb coat of icing and freeze again before you do a layer of smooth or pretty decorations. you were super patient and have a natural ability to decorate! they were super cute!!

As an actual baker-confectioner this whole video is just me reminding myself that she is not a professional and doing a great job for not being one! The use of the cake leveler took me out lmao, also a tip, if you're making a small cake like this, use a smaller palette knife, makes it a lot easier imo!

You think you’re going to fit a normal sized cake in that little area she did? She’s lucky she had small cakes or she would have been so confused why the cake didn’t fit between the metal and the wire. The feet of the cake cutter should be put on the table and use a saw like motion to cut across to get a level cake. Hence why hers wasn’t even lol

I’m by no means a “professional” baker, BUT! I do have a couple tips! Firstly, if you don’t want bits of cake popping through your frosting, you want to do what is called a crumb coat. A light layer of frosting, let it set in the fridge, and then apply more frosting after, like.. 20 minutes. Secondly, to fill the piping bags, it’s easier to place the bag in a cup and then fill them from there so you don’t have to hold it and fill at the same time! Third, when frosting the cake, ( if you want to leave it on the cake stand ) put a bit of parchment around the edges of the cake and pull away once done frosting. It’ll make it easier to keep a “clean” look! And fourth, the tool you were using to cut the cakes is actually meant to be held upright. Though you can really use it however you wish, it’s meant to be held like that specifically to make even layers! All you do is pull it along the counter while moving it in a sawing motion! Additionally, and this is really just a personal preference, but I would have done the cakes in three layers with frosting in between each! It’ll evenly disperse the frosting on the inside of the cake so you aren’t getting too much in one bite at the bottom/top and will also even out the cake a bit better while maintaining the same height! I hope these help with your next baking adventure! These cakes were absolutely adorable and I actually really want to make some of my own, now! 😁
