[@sarahcourtney9847]

I made your butter cream tonight and it’s a huge hit in my house! Thank you

[@NeuroticMomBakes]

Love it!

[@PlasmaSpeedos]

You are a really good teacher and I don’t know if you even realize it.

[@PlasmaSpeedos]

Like... it just seems very natural To you it probably doesn’t seem like much bc this is just how you are and you may not even notice But I’m trying to say that you’re such a naturally good teacher I have no idea if that makes sense 😭 It just makes watching so easy and you bring up points and offer explanations that I would never have considered or wondered about- but after listening, realize I needed to know.

[@NeuroticMomBakes]

@@PlasmaSpeedos This is so kind of you to say! I never thought about it. I'm so glad that these are working well. I worry all the time that I'm going too fast or that they're too confusing

[@deebian19]

Oh thank you, just what i need as a beginner baker ❤

Hi, first of all, I’m a huge fan and I love all your recipes and cakes. Can you share which color brand do you use? Thank you

[@liezelsalmans1155]

Thanks alott it helps me, thank you ❤

[@simonede3347]

Hi! First off your the best teacher and so creative! Is this recipe above used for your cakes your using in this video? Asking because I’ve never used shortening in a cake recipe? Thanks!

[@jenniferrivera8627]

Great video

[@desigirl77]

Hi. Thank you so much for this. Which scrapers do you use?

[@shinebright7354]

Love you btw! How did you make your cake board?

[@stephanieverzola9097]

love your videos. Have you ever had any issues with bulging w/your cakes? I'm having it front the top. Just curious , if you ever had.

[@suethayne5175]

I crumb coated a cake straight from the freezer yesterday and the buttercream started to set before I had a chance to scrape. Any tips? Thank you. Love your videos. X

[@ANONYMOUSUSER54]

Thanks so much for ur video🥰🥰🥰

[@NeuroticMomBakes]

You’re welcome!

[@sheesnafees5119]

I wish one day I make cake as you

[@nicolestevens6204]

I love your videos! I'm learning new techniques! :)

[@NeuroticMomBakes]

I'm glad to hear it! Let me see what you create!

[@hannahskerman40]

Do you not put another cake board in as well as the straws? Just concerned it would lean or fall being so tall.

[@sholeholinga3343]

for some reason i thought a cake this tall needs to have a double barrel.didnt realise just straws one would support the structure

[@torixerri2898]

Hi Amy! Would you still use support straws/dowels if your cake was only 3 layers instead of 4? And do you ever use a thin cardboard cake round BETWEEN your layers? Thanks!

[@_sunflowerbella_]

Tori, I'd also like to know this! Were you ever able to find out else where?

[@mychewyboocakesncrafts8201]

I love the fact you don't torte or cut the caramelized parts off your cake...I don't either and it seems to work itself out...if I try to torte, I always cut them uneven 😆 🤣 😂

[@Regiapisciana]

Great! May i ask what size are the cakes? Thank you

[@plee311]

Do you thaw your cake before stacking/decorating?

[@monicapenton7159]

Good morning I am having difficult problems baking a vanilla classic cake. Sometimes it matters too thick N it’s never Comes out straight one side is always lopsided can you let me know what I’m doing wrong thanks

[@inalvisrodriguez3834]

Hi for this cake, is your pan 2” or 3” deep? I have to make a cake for my friend’s rehearsal dinner that serves 25 to 30 people. Do you think 4 layers of 6” cakes would be enough? She will be having other desserts too.

[@krissy-ev9uw]

How long does it last with the filling ? Or any fruit filling

[@beautahfulbees]

How many batches of your buttercream recipe did you need to decorate this cake? Thanks so much for your videos!!! I love them.

[@NeuroticMomBakes]

Probably 1 1/2 - 2 batches

[@carollynch2842]

I have my cakes in the freezer ready to frost and decorate on Friday. Do you do anything to stop the cake from sweating? Or have you found it doesn't affect your cake at all?

[@NeuroticMomBakes]

If it warms up too fast it will sweat a little bit so I try to keep my kitchen on the cooler side or I’ll put it in the fridge for an hour or two before decorating

[@adamlloyd3526]

How do you slice the cake if there is plastic rods in way?

[@mazduh1566]

I'm new to your channel, you are a very talented lady. Do you have a recipe/video of doughnuts?

[@cakelove5371]

On her Instagram: neuroticmom

[@kolgrillarn]

Hi! Why can't cakes be "normal" high? How to transport them and how do you cut it? Very thick and dry layers and often just a little bit of buttercream between, blackiewackie🤮

[@lougromaski5254]

How much sugar goes into your white cake recipe. Anything else you left out? I would like to try it

[@zehcnas1008]

How do you cut to serve?

[@stefedayana1167]

What is the size of the cake pan

[@jennn86]

Hi ! how tall your cake ? around 25 cm? thx

[@jasleenbubra348]

Hi! Just wondering what size your cakes are

[@NeuroticMomBakes]

This one is 6” round

[@sofiam4215]

What size are your cake pans?

[@cakelove5371]

I think 15/20cm diameters

[@24sexy1]

Where did u get the straws ?

[@denesestanley3966]

Amazon sells them

[@chocolatedoll1223]

Do you freeze you cake layers?

[@NeuroticMomBakes]

Yes

[@chocolatedoll1223]

@@NeuroticMomBakes thank you❤

[@today1012]

Cake pan size pls

[@julianneglatz3758]

How do you transport this in a car??

[@Easton724]

I’m wondering the same thing? Or how does she move it to a serving tray or decorative platter and does she keep the big cardboard on the serving tray?
