I meant it Betty, I'm here to cake your job 😂 you can truly find cake inspo anywhere, but believe it or not this dollar store run was a challenge! I mean, if a challenge is to stay on track and not get distracted by spooky decorations... ha! I want to know, do you ever mix store bought with home made when you're in a pinch? What are some of your favorite "time saving" hacks?? ⏲🍰

[@SoTastyOfficial]

I love how they make a creation look 👀 so tasty.

[@lauraandedwardcannon8861]

Great cake. I would say though make the frosting and use a cake mix rather than making the cake and buying frosting, if you can’t make both. Canned frosting is usually pretty nasty and tastes like crisco, but cake mixes have gotten a lot better over the years and are often quite decent.

[@Narra0002]

I actually love store bought frosting. I’ve eaten a whole container before

[@shahdalghanem3439]

I like this Dollar Store Bought Cake. You're very great people.

[@craftymammabear9432]

If you ever do this again, cake boxes can be just as good as home made as long as you don't over cook. But stor bought frosting is never as good as home made. Would love to see you doctor a mix and frost with home made

[@frederikeh.6194]

If I look at cake mix ingredient lists, it seems near impossible to me that they're as good. There's hardly anything in there that recipes call for. 🤷

[@tammybrubaker4673]

If I use store bought when in a hurry to try something quick, I've added vanilla and almond extract, I've added a few drops of milk to some, it helped and turned out fine.

[@helenivanic1628]

Another fantastic video Yolanda. Your videos are the best. Nice cake as well. 😁⭐️🍰

That cake looks fancy, for a Dollar Store cake and it looks delicious!

Great video thanks for showing us. I'd love to see you make a box cake mix.

[@maggieaudley9929]

So cool! What great tips for a newbie baker! Rubbing Alcohol on the permanent marker might remove it from the slate - I use that when someone uses the wrong marker on whiteboards and it comes off really well! 😁

[@HowToCakeIt]

I will report this back to Orhan 🤣 thank you!

[@aiyeeshaw6077]

Expo/dry erase markers erases sharpies on whiteboard as well 😊

[@sarahfisher6801]

I was about to say this and figured I'd check to make sure that it was/wasn't already stated. I used rubbing alcohol to get permanent marker off of our wall when my daughter was a toddler and tried to draw on the wall with a sharpie. I had already been using it to remove charpie off of containers that I would lable when putting away food. :)

[@rollmeinrice]

Cover the permanent marker with dry erase marker and it wipes away perfectly. Even better than alcohol or nail polish remover. I have no idea why... but it works!

[@fl33khidsha]

Kind of wished you would’ve shown how to use dollar store cake mix to give it a “home made” cake taste and feel and/or how to revamp store bought frosting

[@SilverSkyCloud]

the vanilla cake is easy as heck to make and the ingredients are cheap and easy to find though, changing dollar store mix seems pointless in comparison

[@cheekababezzz]

You’re videos bring me so much joy! Love you yo!

20 seconds in: This is an awesome idea Yo. I’m so happy you’re back. I like the shift you’re making with this channel.

[@emerald2700]

You can use a dry erase marker over the sharpie to get it off if you want.

[@Clarky1951]

My Mom in the 60’s often would use boxed cake mix and canned frosting if she was in a rush. Although Mom much preferred homemade icing, particularly cooked flour icing. And my Mom actually used your “fork” technique. Also used the fork to create swirls on the top and sides. Your video definitely shows with a few ingredients, a fun homemade cake can be accomplished. 👍👍

[@chelym4094]

YO! I LOOOOOOVE this idea! Thank you!!!

[@takariechoco5124]

I think you can remove the permanent marker with 100% Acetone. It's also used as a ingredient for nail polish remover. But be careful removing the marker writing on the clapperboard cuz it might also remove the factory paint on it.

[@biancasantillan9901]

Hi Yo! I just made your chocolate Swiss meringue buttercream and it was all ok until I added the chocolate and now it won’t fluff up and is a little runny 🥲. Any tips on how to fix it? Many thanks in advance! 😁

Hello from Trinidad. I came across 1 of your videos sometime ago and I have been hooked. It's all i watch all day when I have the time. I love your videos your cakes your personality just overall you. Thanks for yhe inspo. I looooooooove baking and recently have started a small business baking cakes and pastried but learning as I go. I have 1 quick question. Being from Trinidad with this terrible heat and mean terrible heat, how do I get my buttercream to stay stable. I make regular buttercream not italian because I don't have a stand mixer. Please help

[@HowToCakeIt]

Hi Michelle! First off, thank you so much for your love and kind words ❤ it means so much to me. and oh boy, I understand the island heat struggle. The best piece of advice I can give is to always have a fridge near by and keep that cake cool ALWAYS. Since regular buttercream is mostly butter, it is definitely harder to maintain its stability. I hope you find your perfect stand mixer one day so you can try a meringue based buttercream! Hope this helps.

[@pirate123219]

Since I used my core cake recipes to carve the fondant cakes on the channel, I wanted to focus on flavor with my new Layer Up! cakes 😍 each cake comes with their own stand alone dessert recipes, or I teach you how to stuff them into a layer cake. I hope this inspires you to try some of my latest creations ❤

[@tammybrubaker4673]

I don't have income with all my medical stuff I'm going through, so i have to always use my own things, or find something to use to come close. I don't have all the fancy cake decorating tools, pans, etc. But ive been doing cakes and get many asking me if i would do their cakes. I use forks, the plastic knives work to help smooth on the frosting. I use sandwhip zip or non zip bags, or i do have some dollar store pipe bags, but the tips that came with are not working like supposed to. I have plastic tips ive saved thats came with the soray frostings from the stores. It takes longer on some cake projects. I have to get creative and find things i have and wash them ahead of time and ready to use when i need to try them. Forks, spoons, knives, straws, toothpicks, mixing bowls, any pans that can bake, to create the shapes what im trying to get it to. I enjoy your creative cakes, and tips, thanks for giving dollar store a try for us on budgets.

[@kelleyspencer]

Question!! So when you double up cake mixes in a pan to make them higher, how do you adjust your heat/time with the oven? Or do you use one cake mix per pan? My cakes never come out that tall. Usually one cake mix for two round pans. How do you do it and how would you adjust baking time and temperature?

[@HowToCakeIt]

Hi Kelley! I measure my batter out by weight, and for an 8-inch round pan I like to have at least 1.5 to 2 pounds of batter for the perfect height - usually takes between 45-55 minutes for them to bake. But this also depends on the recipe! You can find all of my core cake recipes in my new book Layer Up! if you'd more instruction and clarity 🤗 Good luck!!

[@kelleyspencer]

@@HowToCakeIt That is great info!! I will absolutely get your book!! Ive been watching you for a long time. I bought a cake deco kit and have been scared to death to try then one of my friends said........its just cake, if you mess up just eat it! So with your book I'll get down the correct settings!! Thank you!!!

[@trestelle65]

Love it! ❤

[@frangg23]

I would’ve gone with the cake mix and made buttercream from scratch. Cake mix is usually good enough for an elaborate cake, but store bought frosting is much worse than homemade.

[@rekhamhatre9706]

Nice yummy😋

[@CoconutSugarK]

Wow you shine even with Dollar Tree 🎉 Betty Crocker can’t say that 😂

[@fatearamines6848]

Hi Yolanda, try using alcohol to gett the permanent marker off of the clapperboard. That what we use when someone use a pm on the whiteboard.

[@HowToCakeIt]

Thanks for the idea!!

[@Elenagal6]

I love your videos Yo!!

[@kj2941]

How fun! BTW, you can get permanent marker off with some rubbing alcohol..

[@peachzalowishes]

Love it! I’d love to see a Low Carb/Keto cake! Some of the cakes in our community leave so much to be desired. 😂

[@riyaagrawal4740]

You can use the white board marker again on the slate and wipe it. Permanent marker ink will also come out.

[@caitlinmerlino2192]

Use a white board marker over the permanent marker to take it ofr

[@xinderellalee]

How to make cake mix less dense and more fluffy after it comes out of the oven

[@HowToCakeIt]

Lots of different things can contribute to how dense a cake comes out! Too much liquid, overmixing, overbaking are all possibilities. We'd also recommend using cake flour over all purpose, and ensuring all ingredients are room temperature before mixing. Hopefully one of these helps!! 🥰

[@yvettequinones7231]

Me screaming Noooooo use a bubble tea straw to make the holes you want to fill with the Dulce de Leche…I’ve done this before and it worked….that cake looks sooooo yummy 😋

[@sammyginsberg5658]

And even without a template and 2 different rulers all the caramel cavities are perfectly placed

[@dustykelsey7756]

I feel like you could have made a log as well, but I agree, I do not like canned frosting, it is way too sweet and soft.

[@jeannemartinez547]

Try nail polish remover or rubbing alchol to get the permanent marker off that board.

[@adriennemcmillan9637]

This cake made me more uncomfortable than the nasty filled Halloween cake lol. The stabbing with the thick turkey baster was rough for me 😩😂 I can't do store frosting. It has what I can only describe as a chemical taste 😅

[@tay9sdaughter121]

Notification gang!!!!!!

[@newyorkgirl1999]

You should do this again but instead you make a homemade cake and frosting using dollar store items

[@ruqayahfischer5727]

Yo if you do merches still another cool 1 to make is 1 that says " I don't need u, I have cake"

[@margerycurnow2739]

Oh i thought you were going to buy box cake and jazz them up flavour wise xx

[@BigJerryS]

The easiest way to get permanent marker off dry erase board is to go over the marker with dry erase, let dry and clean.

[@SilverSkyCloud]

ive tried cake boxes including betty crocker, followed them to the letter, and they've NEVER turned out as nice as the ones from your recipes

[@ladyjessarie]

If you whip the tub of store bought frosting for a few minutes in your electric mixer it'll become less cloyingly sweet and turn a buttercream-like texture!

I miss the laugh of Jocelyn

[@elisecohan4264]

❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@firechildredhead]

I don't know if it works but to get the permanent marker off scribble all over the writing with a dry erase marker, let it dry, and then wipe it off. I've heard it works! Could be worth a try?

[@monicanash9344]

It does work.

[@amberkellie5255]

The fork technique is so Close encounters of the third kind just icing instead of potatoes 😂

If you go over the permanent marker with dry erasemarker, and wipe it of, the permanent marker should come off too. Try it

Is Jocelyn still part of the team?

[@oliviabonfil]

Put whiteboard marker over the permanent marker and wipe away, it should come off 🙂

[@jenniferedgell4101]

You can easily clean that permanent marker off of that dry erase Clapper just use a dry erase pen and go over the letters that you wrote in permanent marker and it should come off

[@abbybose7671]

"I often see it in the comments." I watch a lot of talented people on KZbin. Woodworking content-creators (for example) can have projects that take weeks, but viewers are weird about cooking/baking for some reason and get offended when they see projects that aren't easy.

[@fjsamaniego]

[@rollmeinrice]

If you ever use permanent marker on a white board by mistake... just scribble over it with a dry erase marker and it will wipe right off.
