I knew this one would be tricky to execute but BOY OH BOY did it exceed my expectations! What's the most difficult thing you've ever had to cake/bake/create??

[@johncouric2285]

I tried Italian meringue buttercream and it worked out great! I did it again and failed. I am going to try it once more to redeem myself. It is very fun to make, though.

[@HowToCakeIt]

Oh no, what happened@@johncouric2285?? IMBC can definitely be temperamental! Even after all these years I still have to do damage control.

[@marie.s.rider0713]

The most difficult thing I ever had to make was a Chess♟️ board cake for my dad's fiftieth🎁🥳 birthday... SOO MANY pieces and all the different chess pieces. Let's not talk about the ⬛⬜️⬛⬜️ squares 😮‍💨😵‍💫. The best part was his face when he saw the cake. Thanks to you YO For the inspiration. 🤗🤗🤗

[@vivica9227]

Definitely the 4-tier wedding cake for a friend. Four different flavours, different fillings, one a chess pattern on the inside, one on the outside, and a rice crispy marshmallow dragon covered and sculpted with modelling chocolate weaving in and out through all tiers. Took me a week.

[@LevelUpKorean]

Insane how it looks like one of the easier cakes she's made until she says that this cake was "absolutely defeating" her. It's such a cool cake. The arm was so intricate... Might have teared up when her cousin hugged her. I'm sure he was emotional. The amount of time and love that went into this cake. 👏 👏 👏

[@HowToCakeIt]

it's always the simplest looking cakes! Because the simpler / smoother the design, the more any imperfections or mistakes will show. And making this cake in the middle of a move didn't help

[@hopegold883]

We love seeing the reaction too!!!

Congratulations on the new cooking studio. Can’t wait to watch episodes filmed there.

So much organizing left to do still but hopefully soon!

[@got2bjosh]

It's been years since I've been around these parts. Had to click on this video. This cake reminded me of classic How To Cake It - when each cake was a novel and expert exercise in photorealistic, simulacra cake construction. Glad Orhan is still here. Congrats on the new studio! I'll check back for more cakes likes this. May the algorithm, Mrs. Davis (lol), bless these videos again.

When making a panel cake, I learned (from another artist) to put them in freezer (to firm a bit) then use to panel. They come back to room temp but are easy to cut straight out freezer. I always use this technique for this type

[@shortey8422]

Although it was complicated to make that cake it came out incredible. I've made my family's donut recipe which everything has to be the perfect measurements and temperature. Takes a couple days to make. Also a German sponge cake with fruit. Cake has to be just right or it falls apart.

I would love to see you make cakes from around the world. For example, in Puerto Rico, for Bridal Showers and Sweet 15/16s, we make a doll cake. I know you have made one on your channel before, but if you made it again from Puerto Rico, you’d use a Puerto Rican cake recipe instead. I’m sure there are so many other countries with cultural cake recipes.

[@belindamenzies7620]

I made your italian meringue buttercream recipe again today. Have made it about 20 times before with perfect results. But today the merigue part was perfect and was completely cool when i added butter. The mix went soupy when i added butter but would not thicken like normal. It the separated and went sort of curdled looking. Any tips?

[@lovelinayuu]

Belinda! This happens to me as well, and the culprit could truly be ANYTHING. Next time your buttercream starts splitting after adding the butter, try wrapping a hot towel around the base of the bowl or gently heating up the sides of the stainless steel bowl with a blowtorch while it's on high speed. This will help emulsify all of the ingredients back together and it works like a charm! Let me know how it goes :)
