he doesn't edit them, they have explained that on multiple videos

The extra eggs added a ton of protein that absorbed all of the water in the system which allowed the cake to rise more due to moisture expansion during baking. Also, using butter, milk, and extra egg added a ton of fat to the cake which is what made it so jiggly. I bet this cake was super rich.

Oh, that's the epitome of chef's kiss! When that cake was leaning like the cartoon cake from Sleeping Beauty (🤣), I thought we had a fail for sure. But no, in comes Laurie with her mad skills and, voila, masterpiece! My favorite hacks are the gold drip and the buttercream decorations applied after. Laurie, don't read this next part! 🤦‍♀Those decorations could easily cover the multitude of mistakes I make when I decorate cakes! And no having to fuss with fondant (that people are just going to pick off anyway!). Brilliant!

For the first hack: I use softened butter that has been whipped up nice and fluffy and you get a SUPER fluffy spongy cake!

Your first hack is exactly what I did when I made my daughter’s wedding cake. There were compliments all around about the taste and texture.

Glad you brought some of these interesting hacks for newer decorators to see. I’ve used buttercream in my moulds for years. Accept I actually make rolled buttercream, which is thick, and easier to put into the mould. But the texture of yours were cool, kinda imperfect and pretty at the same time. Black icing….I make icing really black by starting with dutch cocoa based icing, then adding black cocoa, taking less black cocoa to achieve. Black cocoa can be bought at Bulk Barn. Buttercream transfers….Got taught from my first cake decorating teacher…1980’s, to pipe little buttercream decorations and freezing to put on cakes, so that’s not new. And doctored cakes I always dowel even before doing my crumb coat, because of them being less stable. Definitely a wobbly factor to watch out for. Glitter….The “glitter” hack has been around for awhile, and really does work, as you saw. Gold drip….I got a recipe years ago for gold/silver drip….icing sugar, alcohol and piping gel…cheap and works great. My fave hack is the glitter, because hey, crazy expensive to buy. And you can make any colour you like. Thanks again Laurie for a fun and informative video 👍👍

That buttercream in the heart and flower silicon molds was one of my favorites, I think! For someone like me, who's never been good at piping or decorating (and should probably try your online class, lol), spreading frosting into a mold and freezing it, and having it come out so pretty seems awesome!!

You are adorable, and Kevin is just the sweetest! So much positive energy, I was genuinely smiling!

Yea I've done the boxed hack before & it's delicious & rich, but because it's so rich & soft it's not the best for tiered cakes. Thanks for testing these for us! ❤

Someone mentioned usung chocolate milk in your chocolate boxed cakes. I do this too! I have so much trouble with scratch cakes, i use doctored mixes almost exclusively! I use flavored coffee creamers in place of water (except for Red Velvet which gets buttermilk, & chocolate milk for chocolate ) I actually prefer oil over butter as i think it keeps it moister. I also add a pack of instant pudding into my mix as well.

Fun little tip for when making homemade fondont! You can buy flavorings online and just add it to it before it’s solid. I made some with a cotton candy flavor and it made it so good it was the first time I didn’t just peel the fondont off the cake, I ate every bit lol

I tried SO MANY scratch cake recipes and nothing ever worked out the way I wanted it to. I’ve been making my cake like this for about 3-4 years now and it’s the best solution I’ve come to. There’s enough change that I don’t feel like it’s box cake, but it’s not as dense and problematic as the scratch cakes I was trying to make. I recommend the cake recipe. Sub milk, sub butter, add an extra egg👌🏼

I'm definitely going to try the black buttercream! I've been wanting to make a cake that's black on the outside and rainbow on the inside. I also LOVE Oreos!

I LOVE that cake! Re: the buttercream hearts melting at room temp, how about lining the mold with chocolate and then filling them with buttercream? Would probably hold up better at room temp, but then there‘s no need for full solid chocolate (and it would still taste better than awful fondant of course)

I love this video. Pls, do more. I personally like the black buttercream hack and the new box cake recipe. Sending lots of love from Malaysia

Team Sugarologie here. I used her hack for super saturated macaron fillings & it really did work. Sugarologie also has a hack for no dye black buttercream. It also solves the gritty buttercream problem, but it is a lot more work than American Buttercream. (FWIW, I don't use American buttercream because I find it too sweet. I usually use Swiss or mock swiss.)

I love that dark black cocoa. Makes great mini waffles, turned ice cream sandwich. Yum.

my favourite part was the JIGGLYNESS OF THAT CAKE! it was moving in two separate directions as Laurie was putting the buttercream on! It was defying the law of cake gravity!

I always use warm coffee (not hot) instead of milk/water for box chocolate cake. The coffee brings out the chocolate flavor and the warm liquid enriches the cocoa flavor. Makes it taste wayyyy more like home made cake. I add am extra egg yolk for the added fat, but toss the extra egg white. Also, butter quality makes a huge difference. I love unsalted Irish butter for cakes! 😊

Cream fondant is amazing, and delicious. I dont understand why it's not more popular.

When using box cakes, I now exclusively use coconut cream or coconut milk from a can instead of oil, and the texture and taste of the cake turns out so dreamy and creamy, it is from another planet entirely!
