How to get a smooth buttercream finish

[@vanessa7566]

I’ve never been able to Ice a cake properly in my life. The “crumb coat” is always my final results lol

[@jagrubster]

Are used to have the same problem. It helps to be really careful when you take the cake out so it comes out in a full piece and not all crumbly. Use thick layers and keep putting it back in the fridge or freezer. Suddenly that crumb coat is magically gone!

[@vanessa7566]

@@jagrubster thanks I’ll try this next time!

[@GiftFromGod4U]

​@@jagrubsterI'm going to try this!!! Thank you!

[@Als1822]

crumb coat and freeze it before adding main layers

[@Nimrod.25]

Your cakes are so pretty and neat, I could never!!

What are great way to start the year seeing some of your videos. I truly understand your need to take a break and if you need another one you take it but it's wonderful to see you working again

[@chelseawhite4581]

Why have I never thought to freeze NY frosted cake before smoothing... good grief, this is brilliant! Thanks for sharing!!!! Looks flawless!

[@NeelaAleen]

I did my first cake order last weekend and used this method! It worked out very well! Thank you much for the tip!

[@Aqua_Toad]

@@BakeMyDayMimo it's understandable with a limited setup and I also understand how much more you have to do to get ready to just be on camera so I do get that. I'd just love being able to see the whole process. Your art is a blessing and genuinely wonderful. I love watching art being made by beautiful people. An passion I learned watching Bob Ross, Sherry Lewis, Jim Henson, and Fred Rogers growing up.

[@christinad4432]

Genius!!!

[@tammyprovost936]

I was wondering if somebody has special request for like the seven-minute icing would you do that because I can't eat regular icing and honestly I have a problem buying my cakes from just about anybody but knowing that you do this online and seeing what you do I know that you actually take care of what you doing you love it's an artwork it really is our what you do and God bless you I love all of your cakes whether they're realistic or hyper-realistic LOL thank you so much and God bless for sharing a little bit of your talent with the rest

Her cake is better than mine before she finishes it. 🤣

[@BakeMyDayMimo]

I promise you only get better with practice. And trust me, I’m still learning.

[@KingdomLifeDec]

Please ,do you have a longer version I still can't get it , it's one of the things I hate with cakes. I'm like maybe I need to charge a little extra for those who want smooth cakes,because it is so complicated

[@Algunter15]

I am trying so hard to get to this! lol

[@princessjasmine4723]

Hi Mimo! Is this the easy buttercream meringue frosting?

[@Atasteofheaven_1]

Lord it takes me hours sometimes to smooth 1 cake layer

[@tapiwashendelane518]

Hi mimo. Do you use your simple Swiss meringue buttercream recipe to fill and cover your cakes?

[@luna_future]

“so much more easier” *that hurt*

[@Coco-st7ic]

[@faerietaleshutterbug]

Have you ever used a paper towel to get the embossed look?

[@gi_herna]

Freezer for 10 minutes? 🤯 I will try that out next time because my cakes never come out smooth 😩

[@marilyndeleon4029]

What receipe you use to get it hard freeze like that ? mine won’t freeze hard

[@be.yon.ce.]

Do you have a video on your buttercream recipe? I live in the Caribbean in hot climate so it's hard for me to get the perfect icing

[@BakeMyDayMimo]

Hello love, yes I do it’s called easy Swiss meringue buttercream and it’s on my page. But I don’t think it’ll work while if you have a very hot climate

[@novahayes2610]

What buttercream do you use?

[@fadhelfamily6224]

GURLLL, what is your buttercream recipe, dont be shy, I’ll be waiting

[@rw9347]

So after final coat of buttercream, set in freezer 10 minutes and smooth? No need to add extra buttercream?

[@mavy178]

Does the make iceing or cream go to waste? No hate! Just asking what you do with all the extra cream

I keep trying this so many times. It’s hardt.

[@Als1822]

freeze again after crumb coat freezing? wow ill try this!

[@Angel.Stay.Moa.Engene]

This is cool but doesnt it scrape of most of the buttercream? Or is there still enough for a good slice of cake?

[@BakeMyDayMimo]

No, because I put a pretty thick layer on to begin with.

[@Priscilla4025]

Is it normal buttercream or ganache?

[@user-bv7ry1bg2t]

Will his work with whipped cream

What do you do with the excess buttercream?

Is this swiss or ABM?

What brand of tool is that plastic piece ?

[@shell7142]

What do you use for your scraper? Where did you buy yours?

[@BakeMyDayMimo]

Amazon, I have an Amazon store front and it’s under cake supplies.

[@askjeevescosby2928]

The rough cake looks better. The finished cake has no soul. Remember the worse the cake looks the better the cake tastes 😆

[@LatinaMuslimAndProud]

Do you have to cover it ?

[@shabanamohammed445]

does it matter what kind of buttercream it is?

[@notachef3275]

I tried doing this awhile back and even up until now this doesn’t work for me, it starts messing up the buttercream and leaves a rough surface . What am I doing wrong? Could it be my scraper?

[@EBussom]

You might want to cover your oven door with non reflective paper. Btw love your cakes

[@BakeMyDayMimo]

That’s a good idea

[@JaimeDornanLady]

I have the worst time doing the initial frosting & getting it smooth before I start decorating! Also, putting it in the freezer is not easy for most pple., as we actually have food in our freezers, so how do you get enough room to fit a tall and/or large (like an 8”, 10”, 12”, or 14”) cake in there? There’s no possible way I could fit a 10” or larger cake in my freezer!

[@_md_24_34]

Hello! What do you do with the leftover buttercream the you scrape off?

[@BakeMyDayMimo]

Since the buttercream is not dyed, I just put it back in the mixing bowl and remix it with the other butter cream

[@_md_24_34]

[@ginamendez4247]

My last cake was a two-tiered Wednesday cake! The bottom cake was an Oreo cake. The top was a small strawberry, one of my 6 inch cakes and got stuck trying to get it out and it broke off a little so I had to cut it down to a size 4 inch, crumb coating and doing this same technique saved it from falling apart more, the sharp edges looked very professional, thank you!👍 The little cake was probably the best tasting cake ever my kids said. Lol they told me I should of made the whole thing strawberry! I made it for my granddaughter she want two different cake flavors. Now my daughter ordered strawberry flavored cake for her birthday!
