My aunt passed away a few months ago and she was always a great cake decorator. I thought I might take it up so that I can make cakes for events in the family now that she’s gone. Thanks for these tips!

[@BakerBettie]

I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm sure she'd be thrilled that you're taking it up! Have fun with it!

[@reshanifernando7870]

As a 11 year older I really enjoyed making this cake with my mom . I really thank baker bettie for uploading a video like this .This cake even looks nice .

[@bebesom1989]

If you mix/stir the frosting/icing a little before u use it, it lessens the wholes on the icing on the cake.

Glad you found the tutorial helpful. I do all of my own video editing and I don’t claim to be good at it. It is honestly incredibly difficult for me. Someday I will be able to hire someone that is better at picking out music and editing, but for now, it is what it is.

piping bag, more like piping sack lol love this though helps a lot

This is helpful as I am a beginner in baking a cake, grateful here❤

[@billjoe39]

If you don't want to use regular food coloring, the strained juice from blackberries will give a similar purple color to the frosting in the video. For the buttercream, margarine can be used if there's no butter available.

[@BakerBettie]

Great tip!

You'll need about 3-6 cups for a 3 layer cake depending on your recipe and how much you use.

[@celinestasiuk6622]

Can you recommend an easier or beginner friendly 3 layer cake recipe if I'm just wanting to practice doing the decorating part? I see that the cake recipe used in the video is for an intermediate level.

[@rayizcool]

I don't have the scraper thing is there a alternative?

[@iamk1206]

That_ Møchi cut a paper plate in half

[@autumnreigns407]

Honestly anything that’s flat, I had a sharp spatula I used that worked great.

[@alex_the_confused_2773]

Im planning on making a cake for my birthday in three months and this was so helpful

[@Crossword131]

@4:42 you say to hold the scraper at "about a 45° angle." If its straight up and down, that is a 90° angle. Are you talking about the orientation of the scraper to the flat surface beneath the cake or hold it at a 45 against the side of the cake as you turn it?

[@arwen3478]

Any thoughts on how to use frosting without a turn table?

[@kassandraazevedo2268]

do you need to cover the cake to put it in the fridge when you let the icing firm up?

[@BakerBettie]

No! You can just put it right in!

[@Jdkekdn]

I dont have a scraper or one of those spatulas do I need to get one or is thee something else I can use? If so what can I use?

[@BakerBettie]

A scraper is really going to be your best tool to get a smooth finish. But if you wanted to do a swirl pattern or something more organic you could use a large spoon to create a pattern.

[@Jdkekdn]

Ok thank you! I just got a bench scraper a few days ago and made my first cake today and it looked pretty good for my first time.

[@georgefieldsjr.640]

This cake looks So Good !😂, I am going to try this for Thanksgiving desert 😂, Thankyou for your video 😂😂😂❤❤❤

[@joanshealy1662]

I found that warming the scraper in hot water and dry it off then smooth the cake for a perfectly iced cake and smoothing with a paper towel works good too

[@BakerBettie]

Good tip! You can also warm it with a small blow torch.

[@micheledandrealowell7]

Thank you, the best tutorial I have found!

[@BakerBettie]

Wow, thanks!

[@ashleerobinson5]

How do you get the cake to stop showing through ! This is a beautiful cake as well

[@BakerBettie]

Thanks! I would suggest a 1/2 inch thick of buttercream on the sides and apply light pressure when smoothing it out. Don't scrape so much that you reach the cake.

[@elvyneerrael3303]

This video is amazing. I'm 7 years old. Can I use royal icing ?

[@BakerBettie]

Hi, you would not want to use royal icing for cake. Royal icing is used for decorating cookies because it gets very hard. You want something softer like buttercream to go with your cake.

[@elvyneerrael3303]

@@BakerBettie Thank you for your advice

[@tulipmars]

Do you use the icing you scraped off with crumbs for the sides too?

Do you know any other substitudes for the smoothing tools? I want to get them, but didn't have the time to go get it

[@BakerBettie]

You could use an offset spatula if you have it but it will be harder to get really smooth. You could do some design like swirls in the buttercream with the spatula so that it won't matter if it's smooth!

[@Gamerboyyyzz]

How long do you put the cake in the fridge at crumb coat stage?
