Decorate a cake in 5 Minutes

[@CarolsCraftCottage]

That was awesome. Now with these directions for my Son's wedding, I could get a 4 layers wedding cake done in 30 minutes and be to the church on time for the ceremony using these decorations......not!!! Makes me want to make a cake right now! Thanks Liz for sharing your talent!

[@jacobson68]

Carol Hurlock Weeeellllll.......I would allow just a little more time for a wedding cake, but it is a good idea! Make one now though for practice! :)

[@BluegrassFiddleman]

I love your videos, Ms. Larson. I have many of the piping skills you demonstrate in your tutorials, but they're not as sharp as yours (they'll keep improving as I decorate more cakes). The thing I really struggle with, though, is trying to figure out how to combine them, like which types of piping techniques look good together on a cake. After watching your video tutorials I can see so many of them work well together. I also struggle with how many decorations to put on my cakes. Your tutorials have shown me that I'm probably making cake decorating more complicated than it needs to be. Thanks for posting and sharing your videos. They're wonderful, really easy to follow and I learn a lot from them. Take care and have a great day!

[@jacobson68]

Bluegrass Fiddleman Thanks so much, I'm so glad my videos are helpful to you. There are no rules about which borders go together, just the taste of the decorator. Don't be afraid to just start combining! I'm sure you'll surprise yourself with new designs.

[@MimiNwabuokuMD]

I actually applauded when this was done. I absolutely need your skills in my life. Thank you so much for sharing this with us.

[@jacobson68]

Mimi Nwabuoku Hi Mimi, that's so funny! I love it! you can surely have these skills, just a little practice is all you need :)

[@judyantonini]

Very beautiful!! Simple and fast. Thanks Liz.

[@jacobson68]

judy antonini Thanks Judy, amazing what can be done in 5 min huh?

[@nicorobin7211]

For everyone who is asking she said in the description shes using Pastry Pride icing! It comes in a carton, search it on google near places u will definitely find it. It tastes exactly like the frosting used on supermarket cakes

[@andreabradford1206]

Liz, thank you SO much for sharing this video. I incorporated your techniques to decorate an Easter cake for my mother... and it turned out great! Your instructions are so clear and easy to follow. Love your videos!

[@jacobson68]

[@Pseudochick01]

Oh no, you're not the only one!!!!! I LOVE this sound too! Miam!!

[@jamielynnp24]

sfpatrick1968 I was thinking the same thing while watching this! Yes, I do LOVE that sound.

[@Beachdragon99]

Beautiful! My Dad was a pastry chef and did cakes like this. I miss it.

[@jacobson68]

Christine Mead Oh, I can imagine! Did you learn from him?

[@Beachdragon99]

Liz Larson I did! We used to assembly line cakes together. I would frost, he would decorate. I still have trouble with roses, but most other flowers I can do. My favorites to make are daffodils and pansies. Easter was the best time. We decorated a lot of cakes with pussy willows and bunnies. :) I even have his old spatula. It's probably as old as I am. I lost dad a few years ago and soon after, my mom (who also learned to decorate). Lots of memories.

[@jepeyapa]

Ms. Liz is this doable with boiled icing? We don't really have the type of whip topping you're using here in Philippines and I find buttercream to sweet, swiss meringue buttercream on the other hand can't seem to hold the sharp edges(?).

[@janefarrer2868]

Dear Liz, great video, thank you. Did I understand it right, you used the shortening based decorating buttercream in this video, correct? Blessings.... If yes, would you recommend using butter flavored Crisco and does this buttercream work with Russian piping tips?

Hi Liz, can you fill a cake with buttercream frosting and ice the outside with royal icing? thanks

[@jacobson68]

Hey my favourite and awesome second to none cake decorator :) ok I reallllllllllllllllly wanna know how I can make that same butter cream IN CANADA ............ I followed your tutorial on butter cream but it always gets crusty :( is it like swiss butter cream? I know how to make that but it is too runny at times

[@melissafacchini71]

Hi Liz. Your cakes are really beautiful. You make it look so easy❤️

[@aMEXICO2010]

Hi Liz, you are using buttercream on this cake right?

[@jacobson68]

aMEXICO2010 I used Pastry Pride Whip Topping in this video, but yes butter cream would be perfect for this cake

[@aMEXICO2010]

Liz Larson I use Pastry Pride, but I never get a good consistency to decorate flowers. It usually gets runny and ruins my borders. And if I use color, the color drips on the cake a few hours later. What might I be doing wrong when preparing the pastry pride? I usually buy the Pastry Pride the same day I am going to use it. I use a handheld mixer and usually let it thaw a bit, pour onto a chill bowl and begin mixing for over 30 mins. After mixing, the consistency is pretty soft which only helps me to crumb coat the cake. How long do you take to mix the whip that Pastry Pride?

[@kristenshepherd3291]

Hello Liz, I wanted to ask you what kind of frosting/icing did you use for this cake? Thank you in advanced.... I love your channel now following on Facebook :)

I wanted to know if you used the frosting/icing you made as a filling made with pudding and Pastry Pride, the one you made in the Best Chocolate Cake ever video.

Can i ask what type of icing you're using ? :)

[@jacobson68]

James Mark Saporno Hi James this is Pastry Pride Whip topping, but butter cream would work great here too. Here is a video showing how to make that. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h4Gcon53f717fKc

[@deb3834]

Ms. Larson, I need lessons too. I thought roses required a stiff icing. Yours look incredible soft much like whipped cream. Is that just the camera appearance. Are they going to melt if not refrigerated? Lets talk consistency. Its really giving me headaches. Your standard butter cream comes out as medium? what to do for stiff. whats the test for each type? falls off the spoon. plops off the spoon, and throw it off the spoon. best i can describe it.

[@jacobson68]

debra c Hi Debra, this cake is done with Pastry Pride Whip Topping. Another is Rich's bettercream. This hold it's shape well, it's called " shelf stable". The decorating buttercream that I use is also perfect constancy for icing and flowers as well. Here is a video for the decorating buttercream. The trick is High Ratio Shortening. It will give the stiffness you need for flowers. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h4Gcon53f717fKc . You can find my full 10 lesson course at Curious.com it will give you the foundation you need to do all the things I do on this channel. Thanks Liz

[@jamesnetusil9297]

Do u make your own buttercream or buy it? If you buy it, what's the manufacturer and where? :-)

James Netusil Hi James the answer is both. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h4Gcon53f717fKc here is a video that show's my butterceram. Also in most of my video's I use Pastry Pride Whip Topping or Rich's Bettercream. They can be found at most restaurant supply stores as well as cake decorating supply stores.

[@ando1135]

Liz Larson was this video all pastry pride? we use it at our bakery for cakes too since u can control how stiff u want it and it just looks smoother than whipped cream and less sweet than buttercream.

[@jaycee533]

before we had flower nails .......

[@jacobson68]

+Josephine Gonsaro Hi Josephine, I think many decorators still use a nail for Roses. This technique allows for a little more flexibility when placing flowers directly on the cake. I have found it's a little faster as well. Here is a video that highlights this technique. kzbin.info?o=U&video_id=G1qqeQQq6VE

[@JOJO-ge5py]

I think this is the kind of technique they use at grocery store chains, when they are trying to bang a lot of cakes out in a minimal amount of time...... To the average Joe this would be considered fancy and well decorated..... Only an experienced cake decorator would know the difference......

[@kpace985]
