Hey just a tip in case someone was new to decorating cakes here, if youre not used to using an offset spatula when decorating your cake with your decorating frosting (Not the crumb coat) i strongly suggest using a piping bag to put the icing on then use your pastry scraper to smooth the sides, personally i think it gets the icing on quicker which is important to do so before your crumb coat softens or you could wind up with crumbs in your decorating icing :C

[@anonymous5583]

Also i suggest against the chocolate "chips" as they have stabilizers in them which adds to seizing the chocolate when making a ganache candy melts or a good old fashioned bar of chocolate would be the best choice.

[@elizabethhigbecrouch5231]

Love it! You are so much fun to watch and you make cake decorating look so easy!

[@lysduchamp]

Wow. Such a great video. I'm literally about to wing it making a birthday/baby-shower cake myself on a shoestring! i have NEVER decorated a cake before and I can't even bake so I'm getting someone else to bake the red velvet for me. The DIY shop scraper, and makeshift cake table are genius tips! thank you!

[@GeorgiasCakes]

You can do it!!!

[@tewesathemonkey]

I really like how you made the buttercream frosting very smooth. I am not a big fan of fondant. So with that said, anytime someone can get the buttercream so smooth with out markings, etc. I'm fascinated! I have heard horror stories of how awful "rolled" fondants can be. Some customers complained that the fondant was too sweet, too dried out, too nasty (yes, the taste was not appealing), etc. etc. It was to me because underneath the FONDANT is the good stuff-the glue (which is the delicious buttercream frosting)! Everyday I look up tutorials on "how to" get the buttercream frosting to "behave" like a fondant in appearance, but keep the wonderful integirity of TASTE! Your tutorial has truly helped. And yes, I will visit my local hardware store, craft center (DYI) for that super large scraper (which is used for wall paper, plaster, etc.). Thank you for sharing your skills, knowledge & tips with us! YOU SUPER ROCK! :-D

[@GeorgiasCakes]

Thank you! Glad I've inspired you :)

[@marynjonjo3821]

Nicely done, simple equipment, easy to follow. .I like it

[@gracea8863]

Wow, Georgia you are so talented! This cake is an absolute showstopper. 👏🏾

[@haneeskassim805]

Hi Georgia, I watched the video only a couple of weeks back. Its simply Awesome!!! You explained everything clearly and in detail. I tried it out a couple of times. Keep the good work going.

[@GeorgiasCakes]

Thank you!

[@9jaWikiHow]

Best video watched here.. Those complaining about the burnt cake. No one is above mistake. Besides the video was not for baking but decoration... Look beyond the Lil flaw. This is an amazing video. But please make your videos available offline please

[@RachelDex]

They don't need to make their videos available offline. It's called "downloading" Try it

[@oziomamariagoretti5056]

I learnt new skill from your video Ma'am👍

[@nil-8026]

Rachel B •Farmiga Fan• I’m so confused as to how they’re expected to make it available offline???

[@lesleyvazquez6308]

Screen record it

[@kaydipalma5294]

All your videos are so easy to understand. You make it appear easy enough for me to try it! Love it!

[@thelifeofbanana7313]

Very detailed. I've recently developed an interest in baking. This helps. Beautiful cake. :)

[@julieonyekaba4245]

Beautiful and easy going. I love your creativity

[@leocinthkyle]

[@florinaastilean]

Spencer Vistar i was looking for this comment 😂

[@irenedonovan2074]

Wow loved this. Will have to watch your video on making your macaroons. X

[@michaelpluder5133]

It's fascinating to finally get to see how the magic is done - and you are doing a great job at presenting and explaining everything, too! I am looking forward to whatever you will share with us, but I would especially love to hear you talk about the ideas and inspirations behind your cakes (all the artistic aspects, basically) and also about your time studying Pâtisserie (what these studies entail, the courses you took etc.), if that fits your concept of this channel, of course.

[@GeorgiasCakes]

Thank you! Great idea, will be releasing more videos in the coming weeks so stay tuned! x

[@faymeowsiumo]

very clear instruction and i love that pink! Thanks for sharing.

[@essieskitchen7713]

Never in my experience of enjoying cake has anyone ever suggested caramel popcorn on cake. Giving that a go some day for sure!

[@lydia-marie5035]

I think this video is great, really thorough. For everyone who is leaving nasty comments saying the cake is burnt... its not. The cake naturally colours from the baking of the metal tins. Its optional whether to cut it off but no one really sees it anyway. Can i ask what nozzle you used to pope at the end and wat size/make tins you used. Do you have any buttercream and vanilla cake recipe quantities to hand? Thank you!

[@lucygillan7488]

Lydia-Marie she said near the start it was a 6 inch cake xx

[@Dirtnap1986]

That first cake on that board was clearly burnt!

[@assi5178]

Not true... my cakes never look like that....

[@Snickerdoods.x]

You can definitely taste when the edges are darker though. If you use the proper pan and don’t over bake it, this won’t happen.

[@BeSoSerious]

Beautiful cake! Great tips, and a lovely personality 😊
