Baby Carriage Cake-Cake Decorating- How to

Piped on icing techniques. 25 year Commercial Cake Decorator and instructor provides step by step visual of cake decorating processes, tips , and tools as well as products. Liz teaches how to properly construct the cake for stability and delivery, sharing tried and true methods. These videos are a fun mix of Food, Technique and Artist Flare.
Some of the decorating tools I use
========================
Mixer: amzn.to/2Emi2tk
Quick Icer: amzn.to/2EosWi6
Icing Bag: amzn.to/2EnDNcg
Icing Smoother: amzn.to/2Bs8fz5
Spatula: amzn.to/2BqohK4
Decorating Tips: amzn.to/2EmiMi6
Candy Melt: amzn.to/2HbZ2vi
Turntable: amzn.to/2EmmcSa
Air Brush: amzn.to/2EmRKah
Royal Icing
3 eggs whites room temperature
1 pound powdered sugar (confectioners)
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
Combine ingredients, beat at high speed 7-10 minutes.
Dries quickly-keep covered.
DECORATING BUTTERCREAM
2 CUP SHORTENING (SWEETEX)
1 CUP MILK (CANNED MILK IS GOOD)
2 TSP VANILLA
1 TSP. ALMOND EXTRACT
½ TSP.BUTTER FLAVORING
3 LB. POWDERED SUGAR
2 tsp. salt
Mix together and beat 10 minutes until light and fluffy it
will keep in refrigerator for about 2 wks. Is enough
to ice and decorate an 8 or 9 inch double layer cake.
You can cut the recipe in half if you don't need that much. In this video I am using Pastry Pride Whip Topping. It can be found at
most restaurant supply stores and Cake decorating supply stores. Riches Buttercream is also a good option.

I actually did this cake in pink for my daughter's baby shower. I'm a beginner cake decorated and have learned so much by watching people like you that share your knowledge. Thank you so much

[@jacobson68]

+Chrystina Bush Hi Chrystina, please send me a photo at "the art of frosting' on FB I would love to see it!

[@Minicakes158]

Each miniature dish is stunning 🌈 Fantastic craftsmanship 👌

[@chickapey]

You make it look so easy and fast! I guess that many years as a commercial decorator will do that but wow! So cute!

[@jacobson68]

Hi Chickapey, ya that's part of it, but these are actually pretty easy techniques with a little practice. I encourage you to go for it!

[@SeareanMoon]

I would love to see another video from you on here, your buttercream cakes are gorgeous!

[@acountrycandy]

Liz, as usual another beautiful and amazing cake. Looks so soft and delicate. I love the fact that when I watch you decorate I feel confident I can do the same thing. Your the greatest. As always thanks for sharing. Anita

[@jacobson68]

Well you KNOW you can! :) Thanks Anita, I can't wait to see what you do with it. L

[@kawshalyad]

[@TheKristen88888]

[@christinagibson304]

I did this cake in pink a few years ago and I think I sent a picture of it to your facebook page back then :) I had never done basket weave before.. but it turned out great (despite being July, lol)

[@NihadAlShammary]

[@jacobson68]

Thank you! I hope you do. My Daughters name is also Leah:)

[@carolprinz8397]

I have been making this cake for years and loving it. My only "add-on" is a cupcake in front of the handle. Usually a colored ruffle for a bonnet ( color of nursery) with a squiggle of the mom's hair color and mom's color eyes!

[@jacobson68]

+Carol Prinz That sounds gorgeous!!! Thanks for watching! If you like the instructional videos, and would like to see a photo gallery of our work, please visit: www.cakedecoratinginstructor.com

[@jacobson68]

Thank you Erica!

[@pixiecupcake75]

Such a cute cake, I will try to make one soon. Btw, is someone snoring in the background? Thanks for the tutorial.

[@berdeenaleturno3820]

totally cool cake liz, how long did you freeze the cake? and did you crumb coat before? dont worry about the (snorning thing ) if someone is busy leaning what you are showing they dont hear it, great job

[@jacobson68]

berdeena leturno I usually let my cakes freeze down for at least an hour after they are cool so that I can handle them easier. I don't do a lot of crumb coating, I always use a quick icer on top and then uses the excess to crumb ice the sides.

[@berdeenaleturno3820]

so you dont use a crumb coat , you freeze it after they cool for a hour, if doing that you then just frost them, i have another question, i have a wedding cake to make and was wondering if i can freeze them before i frost them , do i frost them rt away or wait a certain amt of time

[@beckyhernandez8833]

Hi your cake is precious!! How do I use the pastry pride for frosting and do i have to keep it cold while I use it? Thank you

[@jacobson68]

+Becky Hernandez Hi Becky, it comes frozen and once it's thawed you whip it to the consistency you like. It doesn't have to be kept cold, which makes it very nice to work with. Thanks for the question, cakedecoratinginstructor.com

[@angeldarkblue]

U r so amazin!!!! I Always find Ur Videos when i need 2 sleep but i Cant stop whatchin!!!! ;) keep goin

[@brandiiharris2094]

Thanks Abdullah.

[@TheAvataroo]

Wow, 0.0 so much frosting. I don't know how i got here from all the cooking video i watched. I started at a Minion cake by How to Cook That, got linked to something about fashion/make-up, then to a guy making cake bars, and so on until i got here. Cool cake though! But i think i like how to cook that's leaves better. Say, have you tried making fondant babies yet? They look SO real.

[@jacobson68]

HI Thanks for watching. No fondant babies for me, I find them disturbing :)

[@jacobson68]

Rabiah Ahmed Hi Rabiah, this cake isn't really hard. It's just a combination of some basic borders. If you know a few borders you can do this one, no problem :)

[@user-qm1qt2wi4g]

which icing did you put on the cake and which icing did you use to decorate?

[@jacobson68]

+shivam bhalla I always use the same for both. Most butter creams with work well for this cake.

+Shaunta Roush THank you! If you like the instructional videos, and would like to see a photo gallery of our work, please visit: www.cakedecoratinginstructor.com

[@mizzgee84]

Hi Liz can I ask what colour would you use if you didn't know the gender? Tried purple for some reason colouring whip purple is impossible it comes out grey any other colour ideas that you think would look great

[@jacobson68]

Yellow is the standard "neutral" color, but a pale green is very pretty to and peach works. Purple is tough, make your own by mixing sky blue and bright pink (not rose). It lasts longer too (doesn't fade).
