How To Create Quilt Pattern On A Cake the Krazy Kool Cakes Way!

[@leardvr]

2 years ago I had a brain tumor hemorrhage and spent 9 days in a coma. I ended up losing my job, house, career, and extended family. All I have left is my wife and kids. The last 2 years have been a blessing! I have discovered a passion for baking and painting and combining them in cake decorating. This is the best way to quilt a cake I've seen. You may not be aware, but this is a practical application of calculus and is math in real life and is beautiful. I'll be trying this tomorrow. Thank you

[@krazykoolcakes]

Hi Nik! I'm so happy you liked the technique! I hope you and your family have been doing well and hope you're health is wonderful! God bless you. :)

[@threens0701]

Hi laura! Thanks so much for the response :) i've never used crusting bc, i.always use smbc for all my cakes (a lot of my customers aren't fond of buttercream, they find it too sweet) I've tried refrigerating my cake until its rock hard, but because the weather here in the philippines is most of time, well really hot and.humid, after i take out my cake from the fridge, it always kind of "sweats" and becomes very sticky to work with, sometimes it even tears. I'd still give your technique a try, i have an upcoming order for a cake with that design so i really need to learn how to do it. Btw im a huge fan of yours laura :) i never went to a cake decorating class, the web's been my teacher about everything so far and your videos have always been one of my "go-to's". Thank you laura for sharing your talent!

[@KendyJane67]

Amazing! Great way to achieve this pattern. What if you mess up? What if the angle is off and the line is wrong? Would you have to replace the fondant to fix it?

[@krazykoolcakes]

Thank you Kendy! Glad you enjoyed it! :) If you mess up just make that area the back of the cake. LOL. You wouldn't want to replace the fondant because ripping off the fondant will ruin your icing underneath. As Cake Artists with time we get really good at hiding and disguising our mistakes. If you do mess up, don't let it get you down. Just chalk it up as a lesson learned. Be sure to go slow and make every little movement of your hand on purpose. That will help minimize mess ups. Hope that helps and thanks for watching. :)

Hi Laura pls I just ran into your tutorial and I must admit this is the easiest, most amazing tutorial on a quilt cake without molds. I have read a couple of comments and I do agree with alot of the positives. My question has to do with making the pattern for a square cake. It looks easier on the circle cake. Could u explain thanks dear 😘

[@krazykoolcakes]

Hi Mary! Thank you for your comment and positive feedback. Glad you enjoyed the tutorial. Doing this technique on a square cake would actually be just as simple. I would measure the exact length of one side and then divide that by however many lines you want. That will tell you exactly where to place your first lines. Then the rest is simple as you just criss-cross the secondary lines with the first. I hope that makes sense. Thank you for watching! :)

Hi I have recently started trying to decorate cakes and i was just wondering how many layers of buttercream you use before covering with fondant as i never seem to be able to get it completely smooth,there always seems to be lumps and bumps. Love this technique,can't wait to try it out

[@denesestanley3966]

It's beautiful. Can this be done with buttercream or royal icing? Thanks

[@krazykoolcakes]

Thank you Denese! You can definitely do this with buttercream. It might be tricky with royal icing because it hardens so quickly. Thanks for watching! :)

[@yuricampos9995]

Thank you so much for your tutorials, I have one question. Do you have to make the fondant "thicker"? thanks again!

[@krazykoolcakes]

You're very welcome Yuri! The fondant does not need to be thicker. Just be careful with how hard you press so you don't accidentally cut the fondant. :)

[@lamari3636]

It's very nice,thank you for sharing.If I wanted to do the same but instead of creating the circle at the beginning and following the rays,making the holes with a pin by dividing the circonference in sections at the top with a ruler ,would do the same,or not? Thank you,I am gonna try

[@krazykoolcakes]

Thank you Maria! You're very welcome! It would be the exact same thing doing it the way you suggest, the only difference is it would take a bit longer. :)

[@yeseniasandoval9020]

Awesome tutorial.! How would you do it on a square cake and do you want the fondant to be a little thicker then usual

[@krazykoolcakes]

Yesenia Sandoval Thanks Yemenia! You would do the same thing but this time cut a square pattern. The fondant doesn't have to be that much thicker. It's more of a matter of not pressing in too much. :)

[@MyFairDiva]

Hi Laura, I was wondering if you use a thicker fondant for this technique? I saw your tutorial about how to ice a cake but the fondant was quite thin, I wouldn't want the edge to break it. Thank you!

[@krazykoolcakes]

Hi Diva! I always roll my fondant to about 1/8" thick. This was not thicker than the other cakes. If you're gentle it should be ok. :)

[@michelleiglesias228]

How long had the fondant been on the cake before you did the quilting? And as always, a wonderful tutorial. I've been using some of your techniques and am seeing an improvement in my cakes!

[@krazykoolcakes]

That's awesome Michelle! Glad your caking skills are improving. That's wonderful! :) The cake had only been covered for about 10 min. :)

[@krazykoolcakes]

[@barbararodriguez7]

Laura, is it just the first initial line that you skip a hole? And then each line goes to the very next hole?

[@krazykoolcakes]

+barbararodriguez7 Hi Barbara! Yes, that's correct. :) Depending on how many diamond patterns you want you can change how many holes you skip at first. The more holes you skip on the very first line, the more angled the line will be, therefore giving you more diamond patterns. I hope that makes sense? But, the answer to your question is yes. :) Thanks for watching!

[@sealizabrown7228]

Can you also do this print on buttercream?

[@sumayyakadge3844]

Can i do this on a cake with smaller height as my cakes are not that tall..? Also instead of buttercream can i coat my cake with ganache and then cover with fondant..? Thanx and i have subscribed

[@krazykoolcakes]

Yes you definitely can! :) Thank you for subscribing!

[@09lydiaibarra]

Thanks for the tutorial the design was so helpful but can you tell me why my fondant looks dry and cracks?

[@krazykoolcakes]

You're very welcome. If your fondant looks dry, that's because it is. Add some water by spritzing.

[@alexandracrivers]

Your videos are amazing! I am wondering if you can do this with just a buttercream cake or does it have to be covered in fondant?

[@krazykoolcakes]

Thanks Alexandra! You should be able to do the very same technique on a buttercream cake. I would allow the icing to crust over first. :)

[@HennyWater]

Should I chill the cake with fondant on it before quilting it, or do it with the fresh layer of fondant?

[@krazykoolcakes]

You always want to do it fresh. If you try and do it after putting in the fridge it'll harden the fondant too much an then you'll have cracks or "breaking" when trying to do the quilt on it.

[@sc5216]

Can you do this pattern wothout using fondant and just using store bought icing?

[@krazykoolcakes]

I wouldn't trust store bought icing to hold its shape at room temp. Thank you for your question. :)

[@cymoneeeee]

Where did you get that 90 degree angle ruler from? I Like that space in the middle to hold it easier :)

[@krazykoolcakes]

I purchased mine at Hobby Lobby. The brand is Pacific Arc and it's an 8" clear acrylic professional triangle with finger grip (that you liked). :)
