[@MannoulaElLeithy]

I'm having troubles.. as I put too much pressure every time I pass on the smoother to the sides .. so it scrapes lots of buttercream and I have to put some more every time .. then I feel like stuck in this loop 😂 of scraping and putting more .. then scraping and putting more 🤣🤣 .. and if I scrape gently .. I feel like doing nothing at all 🤔... am I dum or does anyone face the same problem here 🤣 and how to fix that pleaaaase tell me

[@BritishGirlBakes]

I scrape lightly but several times... the whole process of scraping, touching up by spreading more onto indents and then scraping scraping scraping takes maybe 15 minutes

[@secretsofmywokbyzebaflari6571]

Lovely video....how can one practice icing instead using cake ?

[@lucynash1640]

You can buy fake cakes I'm not entirely sure where from maybe check amazon

[@kiwi007]

I got so cross with my icing last night. My stand mixer kenwood ring broke, so had to use a hand mixer for huge amount. It was hot and humid, so it got too soft. Realise did not use enough frosting and cake recipe I use is just not firm enough, also I need smaller tins so can practice. Who knew cake decorating could be so stressful!

[@BritishGirlBakes]

Sorry to hear that! Sounds very frustrating. Practice makes perfect!

How do you control condensation when taking out the cake from the refrigerator

[@shwetashah8977]

Hi, which cream do you use for frosting and icing??? It's any butter cream? Or is there anything else too?

[@BritishGirlBakes]

I use my 4 Minute Buttercream (recipe link in the video description) but this will work with any kind of frosting e.g. whipped cream, ganache, meringue buttercream

[@shwetashah8977]

@@BritishGirlBakes okay. Thank you

[@njoseph5929]

Would like to know how to frosting with other buttercream too like swiss / Italian..

[@BritishGirlBakes]

The same technique should work with other frostings, too!

[@priyankaharkare2690]

Thank you. I think my biggest challenge was stacking the cakes so that the cake looks straight. And the top also doesnt look as smooth as the sides do. Any suggestions on what i can do there? I usually end up decorating the top to cover it up just so it doesnt show :D

[@lamyaandadam]

If you have trouble with stacking straight cakes, try filling your cake in the pan using acetate collar, it is game changing. The best way to get a straight top is actually straighten them smooth as best as you can before moving to the sides. After frosting and smoothing the sides, freeze or chill ur cake till the icing is super cold and completely solid then cut the lip of frosting with a hot sharp knife

[@lamyaandadam]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipumoXihh7V-hJY This is a video where she filled the cake in the pan

[@lamyaandadam]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/faSvk6uZhdmYhZo And here is the icing trick

[@aarshaparvathy1168]

To stack the cake use Boba straw and for smooth edges do the crumb coat and then put it in the fridge for some hours and then wipe the whole cake. Hope it helps☺️☺️

It also includes how to colour buttercream and how to create any shade with the principles of mixing colours, how to calculate how much buttercream to use, how to store it, and an overview of buttercream techniques.

[@fathimazawahir2184]

Do we need to thin the butter cream for crumb coating??

It depends on the consistency of the buttercream you're starting with. If it's difficult to spread the buttercream onto the cake then yes

[@lucy.m.nmumba6322]

Please help me I always fail to come up with a neat smooth cake is there a special way on how-to hold the scraper,? Secondly is it to push the turning table fast or slow?
