You mean I don’t have to spend hundreds on that frost form and can do it myself!!!?? Thank you!

[@natoshajean6252]

Lol I bought it BEFORE I saw this lol

[@champyb]

Lmao I’m here cause I didn’t wanna spend the cash on a frost form and I’m like there has to be another way 😂😂😂

[@mareshahpeterson9940]

My only caveat is that I imagine this is going to waste a ton of acrylic wrap.

[@champyb]

@@mareshahpeterson9940 very true! And there are some extra steps you have to take to make sure your frosting doesn’t seep out the sides of the pan - but I’ve watched a ton of frosting videos and it’s way more fun to frost it yourself

[@IcingOnTopBeckysCakes]

@mareshahpeterson9940 or you can wash it and reuse it.

[@jrxl556]

I bought some to make my husbdand a cake but can’t really afford the frost form and was worried how to do it! Thank you for sharing!!! You are a life saver❤

[@IcingOnTopBeckysCakes]

@@IcingOnTopBeckysCakes omg. I got so excited that I went searching and found it already. You are such a life saver! I made 6 cakes for my husband’s job. I spent so much time scraping and smoothing that I didn’t even bother with fancy decorations. I was over it. 😂 You literally have saved me money and all of my sanity! Thank you!!!! 😬🙂

[@IcingOnTopBeckysCakes]

[@NataliaKukushkina]

Благодарю Вас! А то я переживала, что находясь в России не могу купить морозную форму! Теперь я знаю, как обойтись без неё! СПАСИБО🎉❤🎉❤

[@Dolcevita_bakes]

It’s so funny because I did the same thing I bought the thicker acetate sheets they were about $14 and I got quite a few but they’re a lot thicker than the one you have here and I used it because that frost form kit I purchased it and it came banged up. The box was kicked in the contents inside were just kind of battered up, but I went ahead and cleaned everything and I used it anyway and it was so tiny like the sheet that goes around on the outside of the cake it it was so short so I bought the thicker acetate sheets, but I think I made the buttercream wrong so it didn’t work but I wasn’t sure if it was the butter cream or the acetate sheet that was making it not form correctly and I was actually going to make a video on it if it came out right but it didn’t And I was going to test it again today but using like a butter ganache I tested it yesterday using a different butter cream and it appeared to work but I didn’t really have enough cake to test it on. Thanks for posting this because you just proved my point that you don’t really need that frost form although it does help to have that clear acrylic dish that comes with it and then the round part that you put in the middle because it has grooves in it so when you put the acetate sheet in it it fits in it perfectly to make it equal when you pour the frosting. I did purchase mine on Amazon for half the price And I was testing this out about a month ago by using the thick acetate sheets and cake boards and I even bought what’s called it’s an adjustable cake collar ring and it’s metal and you can use it to cut your cake to and it’s fully adjustable like you can make it really small circle or really wide and it’s very tall but not sure if you even need that. I think these thick acetate sheets are the way to go so I was actually going to test mine out to next week and do a video on it. I think what you have here is a great idea. It was the same idea I had but the thick acetate sheets I think makes a huge difference and I think those sheets are the ones that people used to make stencils out of. It works really well.

Thx!!

[@flapper111uk]

Dab down each side on first fill will hold it straight and steady as a foundation Like a tack weld lol

[@bellaroserela]

Thank you so much for this hack

[@IcingOnTopBeckysCakes]

You’re welcome!

[@Jessicanovela537]

Magnificent, you are a love❤ Can you make it for square cake?

[@feliciamitchell4276]

Were did you get that from the wrap

[@ymeofallppl]

Hi, is the acetate collar a size bigger than the actual cake size? Is the cake board also a size bigger than the cake size? I am trying to use this hack, will appreciate some guidance 😊

[@IcingOnTopBeckysCakes]

I used a six inch cake pan and cake board for this. I had to trim down the cake board a little to fit in the pan and then I trimmed the cake to give space for the buttercream to fit all the way around.

[@FRIDA.13]

Can you please tell how you did the frosting?... so creamy 😋

[@user-fc2cq3lt2p]

Looks cool but i like cake with my frosting, thats a lot of frosting on that cake. Does it need that much to work?

[@IcingOnTopBeckysCakes]

You can always try it with less space in between. I just wanted to make sure I had enough space to get all my buttercream to get down

[@shadowsgamersx]

👍🏻

[@angelagriffiths7530]

What is the wrap you used please soooo good xx

[@IcingOnTopBeckysCakes]

I used an acetate cake collar

[@budgetingwithsaz3690]

Can I do this in an 8" cake tin instead of 7"? And use a 6" cake card?

[@IcingOnTopBeckysCakes]

You can adjust this to whatever size you’re working with. I just like to make sure that there’s not too much of a gap all the way around or the buttercream layer around the cake will be too thick.

[@staramoranto8503]

Any type of buttercream? Creamcheese will work?

[@IcingOnTopBeckysCakes]

I have only experimented with American Buttercream but I assume it would be similar using other buttercreams.

[@staramoranto8503]

@@IcingOnTopBeckysCakes thanks. I will try it next week.

[@jessicacombs148]

What plastic are you using on the outside? I’m going to try this for a wedding cake I’m making for some friends. So nervous they trust me to do this.

[@IcingOnTopBeckysCakes]

It’s called acetate

[@thatcollegegirl6157]

What’s the plastic thing, and where can I buy it?

[@IcingOnTopBeckysCakes]

That’s an acetate cake collar. I got mine here on Amazon: amzn.to/3YBsZfF I have the full length tutorial on my channel if you want to check it out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHPHooSnicmsesU

[@donnag726]

How did you get the top so smooth

[@donnag726]

Never mind I found kthe video on your channel Just subscribed…🎉

[@juaquinawilliams3]

Do you have to melt the buttercream first ?

[@IcingOnTopBeckysCakes]

I just warm mine for about 30 seconds so that it’s soft enough

[@farahhussain316]

Can you try this with creamcheese frosting and ganache too?

[@IcingOnTopBeckysCakes]

I have not yet tried but I bet it would work with ganache at least

[@emilyestremera8132]

Yes you can

[@itis9555]

after you frosted, how did you get it out? thnx. :)
