I don't decorate myself. But she is good and knowledgeable in her field. And a incredible person too. To succeed in whatever choose a niche, a mentor and stick to her advice

[@corvetmckenzie295]

Awesome. That's encouraging. Just decided to get back to baking and learn more.

[@madonnahagedorn5649]

I just got finished baking and decorating 2 cakes, 2 dozen cookies, and a whole bunch of mini cupcakes. Now I understand why people charge like they do. It takes a lot of time, product and cleanup to get all of this work done. The time and energy put into this art deserves a lot of credit to those who do this for a living. It's a labor of love and artistic ability that deserves respect. Thankyou for your tutorials.

[@BritishGirlBakes]

Wow, that's a lot of baking and decorating! And I'm glad you like my tutorials!

[@elyranch1902]

This is WAY more beginner than I was looking for. Despite that, I really appreciate seeing a video that's truly for beginners. It's easy to forget that some people are truly starting from scratch, and might not have anyone to have taught them these beginner steps. I still watched the whole video and must admit I learned a couple of small things I didn't know. Great video.

[@BritishGirlBakes]

So glad it was useful for you, even though it sounds like you're far beyond making your first cake! Is there any step in particular you're looking for help with? I might have another video that's more suitable for your experience level

[@Carolina4291]

Hello, I am new here and I would like to know if you put the cake in the fridge/freezer after the crumb layer ? Or you can frost the cake right after it? Thank you ☺️

[@BritishGirlBakes]

Hello! Welcome! The crumb coat needs to set before applying the final layer of frosting so that the crumbs stay in the crumb coat. If you add the final layer of frosting while the crumb coat is still soft and sticky, as you spread the final layer of frosting you'll blend the crumb coat and final coat together so the crumbs from the crumb coat will get into the final layer and be visible on your cake. You can set the crumb coat by leaving it at room temperature for about an hour, depending on the temperature and humidity, or in the fridge for about 30 minutes or in the freezer for about 10 minutes.

[@Carolina4291]

@@BritishGirlBakes Thank you so much ☺️ Also do you have recipe for the buttercream frosting?

[@BritishGirlBakes]

[@KyoKyofan]

Hi! Instead of storing the cake in the fridge for 2-4 hours, could you store it for 12-18 hours? And if you store it for that long in the fridge, can you leave it uncovered? Or does it need to be stored in a box to avoid crusting or any other issues to the frosting? Thank you!

[@ashleyrodriguez7430]

Can I wrap the cake once it cool to make the butter cream ??

[@Nisha-r8l]

I didn’t get the timing of keeping on fridge. Will you please explain that. I mean after the cake is fully done can I put that into fridge for like one day? Will it crack ? And when do I need to take it out before serving please ?

Yes you can refrigerate a fully frosted and decorated cake for one day. Take it out two to four hours before serving.

I'm just learning but which ingredients do we use by the time of icing I'm Robert from Uganda

[@roshandacummings3423]

SO HELPFUL!!!!!! (Quick quick question: if you live in a tropical location -- I live in the Yucatan -- do I need to keep anything in mind when it comes to frosting-making? Will tons of humidity interfere with the process?)

[@BritishGirlBakes]

I haven't noticed a difference on humid days. You might need a bit less milk/cream but if you add it a spoonful at a time, you'll be able to see when the buttercream is easy to stir and ready to use :)

[@abeehakhan7411]

Butter cream ki receipi share kren

[@electricmushyy]

If we’re freezing the cake layers, do you put the simple syrup on before wrapping up and freezing or after they have come out of the freezer ready to use?

[@BritishGirlBakes]

Greta question! I do it before because the cake absorbs the syrup more easily when the cake is at room temperature. When the cakes are frozen, most of the syrup runs off the surface of the cake.
