How To Frost A Square Cake

In this cake decorating tutorial I demonstrate from start to finish how to frost a square cake, starting by assembling the cake and then giving it a crumb coat and a final coat of frosting with straight sides and sharp edges. This technique requires no special tools - just an offset spatula and a frosting smoother. I used my 4 Minute Buttercream for this cake and you can get the recipe here: • 4 Minute Buttercream F...

Its noice to see someone do this in real time and explain thoroughly why they do it. Great job 👏

[@BritishGirlBakes]

I appreciate that!

[@mywaterfountain]

Agreed! I’m so sick of watching these videos with just a musical background and no explanation. This video is such a breath of fresh air.

[@jenleigh4212]

Thanks for the video! I appreciate seeing the whole process including just how long it takes to coat the cake!

[@BritishGirlBakes]

It’s definitely more time consuming than a round cake but once you get the hang of it, it’s just as simple 😊

[@avabutcher]

Thank you for this video, I've been struggling with square cakes

Awe you make it look so easy and simple. :) and it is great that you didn't need a square cake board to make this cake :D

[@juliematon7461]

[@leadeleo1985]

Thank you for this! Round cakes are cool, but how impressive would it be to show up at a birthday party with a square cake!! Love it 😍

[@NourInTheKitchen]

Totally!!

[@BritishGirlBakes]

I agree! Square cakes get lots of attention, especially from anyone who’s ever tried to make one and knows how time consuming it is!

[@eljh3star248]

Love it

[@AhhhTube]

I like how you show that things like frosting take time and patience, and that you show some mess and everything isnt perfectly clean like in some vids where the decorator wants everything to look perfect. You get mess on your hands like I do! Thanks!

[@BritishGirlBakes]

Thanks for the lovely feedback!

Pls also upload for whip cream sharp edges for square cake

[@rebeccaperkins2809]

Did you bake your square cake that size or did you cut them down? This is such a big help to me. I don't like making square cakes because I can never get an even layer! Thank you for your hard work and dedication to your subscribers!

[@BritishGirlBakes]

Thanks for your lovely comment! I baked a rectangular sheet cake and cut it into squares

[@rebeccaperkins2809]

@@BritishGirlBakes thank you for answering my questions! I will try and do my cakes that way.

[@kimberlygilliard1988]

@@BritishGirlBakes What size squares did you use? 6 or 8?

في احد يتكلم عربي يفهمني ايش هذي الكريمه الي زي اشكلاطه

[@n1mn1m34]

Thanks for sharing this tutorial!! I have a question, how can I frost my cake without any cake crumbs sticking on the frosting or icing?

[@BritishGirlBakes]

The crumb coat should trap any crumbs that come off. Cold layers are less crumbly so put them in the fridge or freezer to chill them before you frost

[@n1mn1m34]

@@BritishGirlBakes Thank you so much for the feedback!! I'll use that method from now on!!! Again, thank you💖💖

[@emerge9224]

I Square cakes but I don't do Towers three layers that most! I guess once in awhile but if one has someone wanted to order those all the time I wouldn't be doing them! Too tedious

[@sadiyatajare5540]

How stable is your buttercream recipe in a hot weather without melting

[@BritishGirlBakes]

It’s pretty stable, depending on the heat, but you can substitute half of the butter with vegetable shortening to make it even more stable.

[@mmt1575]

@@BritishGirlBakes is vegetable shortening the same as margerine?

[@BritishGirlBakes]

@@mmt1575 No, it's a clear coloured fat like Crisco or Trex and it's more stable than butter or margerine

[@thornels]

Why was this recommended to me? I was watching an Idubbbz video and I have never watched, looked up or even shown interest in baking videos
