Been baking since I was old enough to climb on the counters to get into the cabinets (not even joking). My momma & big sis had to watch me like a hawk. Mom called those my “science experiments!” Lol. Anyhoo, the “blow hole” trick is a new one! Wow! Proof that we are always learning, if we are only open to it. Thank you for that tip! I just turned 47, and my daughter gets a 28th birthday cake, this week, and my grandson gets his 1ST Big Birthday cake, in March! I’m striving for perfection and any tips or refreshers are a true blessing ❤ I’m so glad your channel popped up. You’re easy to follow, easy to understand, and I appreciate all of that in your “TRUtorial”!

[@juliekoester7776]

You did a fantastic job explaining everything that you did! The cake is gorgeous! Thanks for the video!

[@piparoe]

Super easy to follow! I plan on making my wedding cake next year & I will most likely be following this video! Thank you so much!!!

[@cherylwhitehouse8607]

Great tutorial, thank you! I’ve been decorating cakes for almost 10 years but just making my first wedding cake. The look using the spatula is exactly what my bride was looking for and I wasn’t sure how to do it...but now I do!! I love that you forgot to split the first layer and made that mess with the confectioners sugar. You are SO relatable and it made me feel a bit more confident. Thanks SO much!!! Subscribed and saved! 😃

Thank you so so much for this video. My daughter is getting married in April and wants a cake like this and wants me to make it. I did a trial run before your video and didn't like it. It tastes great, but looks terrible. But, now, with your help, I think I can do this. I will do another trial or two before the wedding. Thank you again.

I'm getting married August 24th 2019.... Seems time is going by so fast, omg. Anyway, my sister suggested me making my own wedding cake and I was really afraid until I watched this video. But you've made it so easy and now I'm confident I can do this. So I'm going to practice a few times. Thank you so much for this video. You're in my saved videos so I can come back for any reminders just in case I forget something and I'll let you know how it goes. ❤️

[@gypsyqueen4455]

I'm getting married on September 1st 2019!! I know time flies by SO fast! I was thinking the same though, making my own wedding cake. They can be so expensive!!

[@MLS612]

You can do it.

[@97ana]

I wish you have a great wedding. Also a little tip, you can buy like special stands for a wedding cake that have branches an you can put each layer on its own branch instead of making a multi tier cake (which can be a bit difficlt cause the cakes tend to lean if you mess up your layers)

[@TheSugarScoop]

Great! I would love to see how it turns out. Best of luck!!!!

[@elimendez9748]

did you do it the cake

[@zulemaflores8796]

Great job young lady! Very simple indeed!

One of the best tutorials on making wedding cakes, I have always wanted to try one maybe I will give it a go, thanks for sharing!!🙂💯

[@tanyadavis9192]

What is the width of your pans are they 2 or 3 inches and are there any particular brand of pans you prefer?

[@TheSugarScoop]

Thank you! I use fat daddios but I like the magic line too. I prefer 3” deep pans.

[@MB-fh1yv]

Amazing

[@rawiahijazi850]

Excellent! Thank you 💕

[@tinamartin5]

Lovely work Sugar Scoop! Thank you for sharing. Don't let negative comments affect you. They are just unhelpful. I'll say if someone has something nasty in mind keep it to yourself. One thing is constructive criticism which could all learn from but another totally different is the hurtful comments. Keep up the good work. Most of us appreciate it!

[@TheSugarScoop]

tinamartin5 thank you! That was very sweet ❤️

[@donstecklein7490]

Nice & simple

How would you transfer this to a cake stand, or would you? Thank you for the great video!
