How to Trim and cover a pillow cake | Life's lessons | Entrepreneur lessons

In this video I share not just how to trim and cover a pillow cake but my mistakes and the lessons I learned from it so that you can learn too and see a few things I do in the process.
I was not going to upload the video but I figured I have lessons to share that the world needs to know and that would add value to lives and businesses especially cake businesses so why not?
There are bumps along the road and it's not always glam but how you handle it makes all the difference!
Happy viewing!
Stay safe, stay happy!❤️

Your story has taught me to never give up, just continue and maximize the mistake to a new level.... And to always have a plan B besides you. And to always stay positive by not beating yourself up because of the mistake you made. Thanks for sharing...💕

[@OluchiImoh]

Thank you so much, Joan! I'm really glad you learnt some lessons from it and also shared that with us. Thanks for watching too. Always a pleasure!🩷

I recently subscribed to your channel and I must say, I've learnt a lot from you. I'm a newbie in this industry and open to learning. Thanks for sharing your story. You know, it's the norm for we humans not to always show our imperfections. I must really commend your strength because only a strong person could have done this. You gave me hope ma'am. You may not understand but you did. God bless you

Thank you so much for sharing even your not so perfect work process 🥰💞. The finished job is beautiful and perfect in my opinion 😊. I'm learning so much from your videos. I just came across your videos about 4 days ago (July 2022) & was thinking you are the answer to my prayers - I want to learn onsite, only to find out you have relocated to the UK.... 😔. It is well. I won't mind if it's still possible to learn one-on-one from you. I also need your fondant recipe urgently. Thank you so much. God bless you more abundantly.

[@OluchiImoh]

Thank you! I used a silicon mould for the seams and then piped with royal icing for the body.

[@olufunkeogunwole1683]

[@damilolaracheal3469]

It's definitely your story,thanks for sharing. The cake came out nice except for the height and the sharp edges,but only a baker would notice still. Why don't you make use of pillow pan instead of carving? Covering full or cutting out mean?

[@chiomachioma9863]

I think she's showing in the absent of pillow pan... The pan will save time....time is precious

[@OluchiImoh]

Thanks for your kind comments Damilola! Okay, pillow pans fall into the category of pans that I rarely use, for example, throughout last year, I didn't make a single pillow cake so it would save me cost and space buying and storing it without use. They're just like number pans or character pans. But if it's something one makes all the time or from time to time, then all well and good, it's okay to invest in one.

[@OluchiImoh]

@@chiomachioma9863 Thanks Chioma for your response! Exactly. Having one will definitely save time but in case of next time for me, I would not make it as high or I will carve differently, just slanting the four sides downwards not the 'C' cut.

Pleaseis it necessary to cover all the side of the pillow cake?

[@OluchiImoh]

Thanks for watching! If I get you correctly, it actually depends on the shape of the pillow. You can as well cover in full with some little excess to tuck in at the bottom. That means, no need to flip. Cover like you are covering a round cake in full. Let me know if it's clear. Thanks.

[@Zestmasscake]

@@OluchiImoh yes ma
