So I have a question are the butter cream that’s layered on the and the frosting for the outside two different things or do they have to be the same thing

[@BritishGirlBakes]

You can use different things! But if you use something runnier than buttercream on the inside, e.g. caramel or jam or lemon curd, you'll need a ring of buttercream around the edge of each layer to stop that filling from oozing out as you layer and frost the cake, called a buttercream dam :)

[@chiagochilagorom2206]

I appreciate your videos. I have this question. Basically when making a filling or adding a filling to your cake do you make the Border a little bit closer to the edge or closer inward the cake so that you can put the filling?

[@BritishGirlBakes]

Ideally the outer edge of the piping would be flush with the outer edge of the cake, so that the piping doesn't bulge outwards beyond the edge of the cake.

Hi! Here's my video on my 4 minute buttercream: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2WTmpathpyfa9U The recipe on my website is for a two or three layer 8" cake: www.britishgirlbakes.com/buttercream-frosting/

How long do you chill the crumb coat in the fridge for when you are done with it?

[@BritishGirlBakes]

About 30 minutes - until when you touch it, it's firm and not sticky and your finger doesn't leave an imprint

How do I get a cake super smooth after I do the crumb cake part

[@BritishGirlBakes]

I’ll have that video up next Tuesday 😊

[@pattystein3143]

Emily, is a naked cake essentially just a crumb coat?

[@BritishGirlBakes]

Sort of! The difference is that you want the frosting to be super smooth for a semi-naked cake whereas for chrome coat it doesn’t really matter what it looks like because it’s going to be covered up. Chilling the cake is very important to limit crumbs for a semi-naked cake
