Comic Cartoon Cake with NO FONDANT

[@zelousfoxtrot3390]

As someone from the US, I am so happy that I have found someone who is so much more 'real' about the struggles of baking with kids around. I also like that you don't use those kids to get more views. So, all in all, thank you for being you.

[@BritishGirlBakes]

Thanks for your lovely comment! I needed that today :)

​@@BritishGirlBakeshola, qué ingrediente es el color negro???

[@elizabethcoker1570]

Love you’re using only buttercream! Also, love your tip about using the number 3 tip for the lines because I’ve been struggling deciding which size to use for writing and I’ve got shaky hands!

[@BritishGirlBakes]

Good luck! Hope the #3 works well for you!

[@elizabethcoker1570]

With lots of practice!!! Haha! Thanks Emily!!

Emily, my kids and grands came for the holidays. Ava (10) and Sienna (7) love to decorate cakes with me. We did the cookie dough cake. (What do kids who keep hearing, "You can't eat the cookie dough" want more than anything?) It was off the charts, every part a symphony of flavor and texture. But peeps always mess with your carefully crafted recipes, don't they? I did a bottom border of mini-chips. I don't know how you do it with three little ones. But it's great you've created a career that lets you stay home. And the quality of your work is terrific in spite of what the home front requires.

[@BritishGirlBakes]

I'm so happy that you all loved the cookie dough cake! Hope you had a wonderful time together over the holidays!

[@lacretiastarr]

So Amazing. I've seen the fondant versions & always hoped someone would do all buttercream. You're the best💕🍰

[@BritishGirlBakes]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@susanmeyer9619]

Emily, that's an absolute showstopper!! I totally love how 3d it looks, certainly takes time but the result is stunning! I love that you can use buttercream, as I don't really care for fondant. Thanks for showing us how to accomplish this look!! 😊❤️🙏🏽🇨🇦

[@BritishGirlBakes]

Thank you so much!!

[@stevehawk3229]

0:13 The cake came out great. I had no idea a cartoon cake could be made. Thank you great job!

[@BritishGirlBakes]

Thanks so much 😊

[@evelynmok2654]

Thank you for showing us how to decorate a cartoon cake. You are so creative. I certainly will try to make one. 👍❤️

[@heatherpoulson5407]

The broken black lines really do add to the comic illustration look. Beautiful job! 🌟

[@BritishGirlBakes]

Thank you so much!

[@likeandshare3476]

I just love your creativity, the way of explanation and every little step you cover.. just amazing :):):)

[@BritishGirlBakes]

Thank you so much 😀

[@AuntieAliciasKitchen]

Wow... I'm going to have to try this eventually. It's crazy how much the lines make a difference. Thanks for sharing.

[@BritishGirlBakes]

It's a fun style - I'm excited for you to try it!

[@southbug27]

Great teaching skills. You break it all down in easy to follow steps & add in any tips while keeping everything concise.

[@BritishGirlBakes]

I appreciate that!

[@firebird4240]

That thumbnail is amazing and it ISNT clickbait! What skills you have, truly, I'm very excited to try this out. So many good tips, I've saved your video 😀

[@BritishGirlBakes]

Thank you so much!

[@annelieberman4966]

So creative. Don't know how you come up with great ideas every week!

[@BritishGirlBakes]

Thank you! It's easy to come up with ideas but less easy to film and edit them in time for each Tuesday!

[@wendymarsh7786]

Love it, love it, love it. That's my next design type of cake!!.

[@BritishGirlBakes]

Yay!

[@katiedrink]

love this! I'm not a big fondant fan, especially not covering an entire cake, so I've always felt a bit left out of the comic book cakes but this is awesome!!

[@opmad5593]

Perfect for people like me who *hate* fondant! Thanks a ton!

[@GsHops0328]

I’m no Betty Crocker and have looked at lots of tutorials on the cartoon cake no fondant and I keep comparing them all to yours 😂 yours is the most clean crisp cake with simple explicit detailed instructions/tips on how to achieve this look! Thank you for your advice/tutorial. I can’t wait to do my sons 13th bday cake-lol I feel more confident. Your work is exquisite.

[@alicesabatino4631]

Hey, thank you for your videos. What frosting woud you recommend for hot summer? I will celebrate my son's birthday in Brasil next month, buttercream won't be a good idea. Thanks

[@BritishGirlBakes]

I would use buttercream but substitute half of the butter with vegetable shortening (like crisco or trex) and keep the cake inside for as long as possible

[@harshas7265]

Love this style of cake

[@BritishGirlBakes]

Me too!

[@breezep.7693]

I wonder if you can use Royal icing to pipe the black lines instead?

[@BritishGirlBakes]

You can but I think the texture would be noticeable when you eat the cake because instead of soft like buttercream, it would be a bit crunchy

[@anwe9508]

That’s so amazing!

Hey Ms.Emily, does your vinilla cake recipe work for 3 '9 inch cake layers? Thank you and thanks for this tutorial?

Hi! Yes! Or if you want the cake to be as tall, you can double the recipe

My toxic trait is thinking I can do this 🤣 It looks awesome!!

[@BritishGirlBakes]

I'm sure you can! My hands are super shaky so I'm confident your black lines will look much better than mine!

[@SH-lk8rh]

Very cool

[@kimtee8961]

I forget now but can I use a butter/shortening combo for your 4 minute buttercream or should I use your hybrid buttercream if I want to use both?

[@BritishGirlBakes]

Hi! You can use half butter and half shortening for my 4 Minute Buttercream :)

Gel colours by Chefmaster, Americolor or Wilton are my favourites in the US. I have some gels from Sweet Stamp in the UK that I love too!

New subby and Hello All🤗🤗

[@BritishGirlBakes]

Hello 😊

[@Calupp]

I've never made a cake before and I'm spending all day to surprise my gf w this for her bday today. Go figure she's mad at me rn for w/e reason. If she's still mad at me when she sees this I'm leaping out the damn window to live with the forest animals forever.

[@BritishGirlBakes]

haha! I hope she loves it!

[@feelosophy1921]

I am going to try that but I can't guarantee it will look the same. 🥴

[@BritishGirlBakes]

It'll be great! The beauty of techniques like this are that they don't have to look perfect. My hands are really shaky and my piping is wobbly but that's fine for this style!
