Completely agree! A talent is only a talent until you hone it into a real skill with practice and hours and hours and years of hard work

So true! I don’t do. Are decorating but I do Art 🖼️ , I have always been good at it but when I started practicing my Art became extremely BEAUTIFUL 🤩 so it’s always a little hobby until you practice and become way better😊

Valid, but i also think some people are born with artistic abilities .kids are taught the same alphabets but some have prettier handwriting to begin with, or better drawing than their pales. Of course in order to better it ,one has to keep practicing and stay consistent.

First, definitely agree! Second, that ombre is perfection! Third, my mom used to say "Okey dokey, artichoke-y!" I miss her. You brought that fun memory back. Thank you. ❤

“practice makes progress” keeps the alliteration!

That blend is so much smooth and the colour combination is looking so aesthetic ❤

Both. For sure. And, WOWWWW that ombre! LOVE!

I definitely agree. I feel like for some they might be a natural and pick up new tricks easier than others. While others have to practice over and over again to get it all down.

“Okey dokey artichokey!”Haven’t heard that in years! Brought a smile to my face 😊

I love the physical representation of the two beautiful colors, so different, yet blending together to form an extraordinary whole, in reference to the combination of talent and practiced skill. Or, as my younger friends would say, "I see what you did there." 😂❤

Beautiful colors! I totally agree with your thinking and comments on cake decorating! Practice Practice Practice!!! Muscle memory is a real thing too.

Absolutely! I'm a florist and believe you can both learn to be a good florist or naturally be gifted. Or both!

Both! Absolutely love the ombré color combo!!

It's definitely a combo. An interest you can't explain and you search for ideas ❤❤❤

I completely agree! I work very hard to get better at decorating my cakes. I've also taught classes and I see it in my students. Some have a natural gift and it comes relatively easy to them, while others struggle with just the basics. The ones that struggle almost always have other crafting talents but admit that cake decorating has never been something they can do. Those students are always so excited when I teach them rosette cakes, as they're cakes that even my 6 yr old class can do and they're always beautiful 😍 Love your cakes! Keep up the wonderful videos as I learn so much, especially new ways to teach/explain things 😊 God bless from Texas 🙏❤

Yes, I completely agree that it’s both! I’m an artist of all sorts of mediums (from clay to watercolor to embroidery & everything in between) And while I tend to be better at picking stuff up easily & fast, But I work hard to try all sorts of tips & tricks & techniques with every medium to master them! Believe it or not, I actually end up learning a lot of techniques that carry over into other mediums or at least give me new ideas to use other mediums in different ways (if that makes sense)

*tho I’ve never tried cake decorating, only have baked & decorated cakes & desserts for people I know, gingerbread houses etc

Definitely! When i came to America, i did not know how to bake. I've always loved drawing amd painting. Later on i learned to bake because my daughter wanted a unicorn cake and i didn't have the money to buy one, so i made one. It was a hit. Now i sell my cake and people love it!

Having gone to school for art, you could always tell the "gifted" students from the ones who worked hard to hone their skills. While those of us who worked hard to improve progressed as artists, the "gifted" students took zero constructive criticism and their art never changed or improved. Artistic skills ARE gifts, but learning how to use them and evolving are key✨

I think it’s the perseverance towards perfection 👌 sure you work at your craft but the reason you want to is because of your natural aptitude, enjoyment and the need to improve your skills that’s sort of what fuels you to work so hard at your craft 💜

I am doing cakes in New Zealand for about 12 years. I am Brazilian but also Kiwi too. I love your videos! I learn lots with your kindness ❤❤❤

I think cake decorating is an art form just like any other only it's temporary and probably appreciated in a way that something in a gallery never would be. 😋 I hope you keep a record of all your creations because every time you cut into a cake it breaks my heart 😅 Maybe there should be a Tigga Mac gallery? Framed cakes, statues of your best creations and a pile of crumbs in the corner with the label 'MODERN ART' 😂 Absolutely have to have an ability and as you say practice, practice, practice.

Its definitely natural talent with lots of practice and dedication. Even the worst artist, with enough practice, can become a natural or master at cake decorating 😊 also, she didnt scrape the top all the way straight and once you notice, you cant un-notice!

@@lunaballuna I would love to order a cake from Tigga Mac but it would have to travel a hellofa long way to get here 😅 Luckily for me my adorable neighbour bakes and decorates and sometimes tests out on her neighbours. Its a hard life 😂😋

I agree 100%. I can master the technical stuff of how to frost and pipe, but I don’t have the creativity to come up my own designs like the “Dark Romance” cake. OMG

I agree. Well said. I've never been very artsy, and I know I would really struggle!!

The cake looks good with blue and purple. I wanna taste it. 🤤

Agreed! This is the same for anything really, especially in creative mediums.

I love the color and gradient on this cake ❤! I also agree on your skill vs natural talent point. 😊

I love drawing, painting, anything creative. I've mastered a good sponge cake and this week I actually decorated one. Well, I've found my calling

I really love watching your videos, especially when you're designing 👏👏

My friend started baking and it was insane how much she improved in just a year! She made me a cake for my birthday last year and this year and it was crazy how much a year's worth of practice helps.

I agree it's a bit of both. However in school I was hopeless at art! But I have loved baking since I was a little girl and somehow despite my engineering/research brain I manage to pull off some pretty good cakes! So despite my lack of artistic flair in school I have a natural flair for cake decorating.

Both. My husband is a guitar player. It came very natural for him, but he practices his hobby on his days off and learns new things all the time.

It's definitely both. Fellow natural artist so it was a lot easier for me to improve quickly. Always a learning process regardless.

I totally agree! And beautiful cake!

I agree with you 100%! It helps to have talent, but to get down the techniques you need to practice them.

I agree, some people are naturally better at it then others but it also takes a lot of practice so a mixture of talent and practice!😁

The color on this cake is gorgeous!!!

Great work and I agree. And thanks for confirming this. I do all the stuff you name. I craft, paint, draw, model clay, etc. I enjoy baking so much and now want to try cake decorating. It’s nice to meet other ppl who have multiple talents and hobbies, and even better when they wear All the hats, pretty well. 😊

I think it's both, too. Great ombre, Tigga.

Love these colours in an ombre ❤

Absolutely! And that applies to everything.

I completely agree with you I've always taken art classes love drawing love writing and I'm very creative and I love cake baking and cake decorating

I think I love the ombre and clean edge perfect!

The skills can all be learned. The gift is being able to blend all the techniques into something beautiful. After watching your videos for a while, I could replicate what you do, but I'd be copying one of your previous designs. Like, that ombre technique I could probably do with some practice, but I'd only be able to maybe change the colors used. I don't know that I could come up with something new.

I totally agree. I have no artistic ability whatsoever, but even I learned and could do some basic decorating when I used to work for Baskin Robbins.

I’ve always been artsy and I enjoy baking so cake and cupcake decorating made a lot of sense. All of my hobbies just feed into each othereventually😂 I’ve been told I’d make a great decorator but I fully know I do not have the practice (yet) to be anything more than just fairly good. A lot of talent is often just having the desire and want to keep practicing I think☺️

Gorgeous cake! My favorite colors

100% agree with you.. Definitely both. ❤

That blend 😮‍💨😍

You have a god-given talent that you have honed into greatness

I so agree. Talent isn't enough on its own but hard work can't replace creativity.

I like the little edge left on the top of the cake when you smooth the edges

I think that cake looks gorgeous, I love the ombré type effect

I think this cake is gorgeous. ❤

Agree! It’s like anything. Anyone can “do it”… but no matter how much you practice some people will have more natural ability to run with and do it to a much higher standard and more easily!

100% completely agree you with you!

That gradient 💜💙 so pretty

I agree, I’ve always been an artist. Even though I hated art in secondary coz it was too restrictive😂 but it takes practice too. But with every step it’s still Learning

Like any kind of artform it can be both or either. Each person is different but, as you said, continued use will create better results over time.

Tenancy, patience and drive. That's what all of these specialized jobs take to excell. Lots of time as well.

Agree! I've only just started at 54 years old and loving it! I've always had the natural flair but play about and practice - results are coming along nicely 🎉

I agree! It is both. "Practice makes perfect"

I have always been artistic and creative but i never found my thing until i started decorating cakes. I just love it so much

You’re spot on. I’ve gotten better, but I’ll never be as good or have your eye (and I’m fine with that). Btw, that ombré cake is stunning.

I think you're a freaking GENIUS 💯

I think that I want some of that beautiful cake! & yes, what you said; both.

Beautiful just beautiful. Love the color combination.🎉🎉🎉

My instructor complimented my ability to pick up cake decorating so fast. That has given me confidence to last m years.

I feel this is true for any skill or talent, from singing to math some people are great learning a skill and some are bad.

Bit from column A , bit from column B. It helps if you're creative 😊

Love those 2 colors together they are so pretty😊. Love your videos by the way

I think that having "an eye for things" is a natural talent, and combined with practice you truly become a cake artist (YOU are)!! I have no "eye for things," so my delicious cakes are purely by accident 🤣🤣

I don't know any artist, no matter how amazing and naturally talented, who hasn't had to continually hone their skill. Natural talent is like getting a headstart in a race, not being given the medal before you even leave the starting line.

Agreed!!! let me get started lol you are AMAZINGGGGG

Honestly, this applies to everything. Some people will be more naturally inclined to doing something. But everyone’s capable of picking it up, learning how to do it, and working hard to improve their skills at it. And the people who aren’t as naturally inclined can rise above the skill level of those that are if they work harder at it. It’s sort of like if you’re metaphorically running a marathon. The people who are more naturally inclined maybe started a mile ahead of you. But you both have so much distance to cover before you unlock your full potential (the finish line). And some people will either stop and stay where they are or completely drop out all together.

I agree.A talent is something u are born with or smt, a a skill is something u practice alot to be a master at it

I agree with you, I think with practice anyone could do it, just trial & error. Some may be more artistic but if you enjoy it, go for it!!!! 😊💜

You’re 100% right, minus one thing, practice does not make perfect, practice makes improvement.

Practice makes perfect, but loving what your doing is what what practice not work. As "easy" as things may seem, it really takes someone that loves and cares about what they're doing to get to that level.

Love how it tried out❤❤❤❤❤

I enjoy watching You create.

It's definitely an art form. There's a reason craft stores have baking aisles. Some are more natural at it than others, but I think if you put in the work, anyone with the right patience can do it.
