Hi Whitney, thank you for your videos! Question: do you find it necessary, when putting the cake in the fridge to chill during it's crumbcoat time, to also put the buttercream in the fridge as well during that time?? Or can you you leave the buttercream out during the time while the cake's crumbcoat is chilling?

[@SugarandSparrow]

Hi Matt! When chilling the crumb coated cake, I usually leave the remaining buttercream out at room temperature, covered with a towel. If you're planning on chilling the cake for more than 30 minutes I recommend storing the buttercream in the refrigerator overnight before bringing it back to room temperature and mixing it on low for a minute or so before using it to frost the cake. Hope that helps!

How much frosting do you use for the crumb coat and the cake in the video?

[@zoeashleigh4087]

Before doing the crumb coat, do you put your cake in the fridge for a little while after it's cooled, or do you start as soon as it's cooled down from the oven?

[@Kelseyxlyons]

Yes after baking you put your cake in the fridge for 30 minutes or you can leave it overnight in the fridge and icing it the next day

[@s.olicia2667]

Hi! What sprinkles did you use ??? Decoration is beautiful!

[@SugarandSparrow]

Thank you! I used the "Hey Sugar" mix by Sprinkle Pop: amzn.to/3VbmfmV

[@fathimanarzana2143]

Hi can I keep the cake in the fridge over night after crumb coated?

[@SugarandSparrow]

Absolutely!

[@latumbleuse1430]

Can you keep a crumb coated cake in the freezer for 7 days ?

[@shubashamim7039]

Can these tips be used for a cream cheese frosting as well?

[@SugarandSparrow]

Absolutely!!

[@fatimasalem703]

If you're in a hurry, can you chill the cake in the freezer? If so, for how long? I once did it for 15 minutes and my 2nd buttercream coat set too quickly that I couldn't spread it easily

[@SugarandSparrow]

Hi Fatima! I have never tried freezing a cake to speed up the process before, but you are welcome to try it. If 15 minutes was too long last time see how it is after 5-10 minutes.

[@misskika321]

Can we chill a crumb cake overnight? Thanks!

[@SugarandSparrow]

Hi there! Yes you totally can chill a crumb coated cake overnight.

[@tashnfamblam4566]

Found you on Pinterest!!

[@SugarandSparrow]

Hooray!

[@LadyFilth]

My cake fell apart but very informative video! Lol

[@SugarandSparrow]

Oh no! If your cake fell apart while you were crumb coating the frosting consistency is probably too stiff. Try thinning out the frosting next time by adding a little more room temp milk, 1 tsp at a time, until the frosting is more spreadable.

How soft got to be buttercream
