Ombre Cake

Ombre Cake
Full Recipe: preppykitchen....
SUBSCRIBE ► / @preppykitchen
This moist and delicious cake is covered in a beautiful ombré of indulgent white chocolate buttercream and dusted with colored sanding sugar for a bit of wintery sparkle.
I definitely think it looks Frozen themeed and yes, this cake woulfd be perfect for Elsa's birthday!
You can totally skip the ombre buttercream if your short on time. The sanding sugar will still give you a beautiful blue gradient.

This is the cake Elsa would make in Frozen! The cold never bothered me anyways.

I am a baker placed in Mexico. I want you to know that I love your work and videos, the humbleness of your teaching skills and mostly, your supportive and professional attitude without leaving aside the real perks of baking. I enjoy your recipes so much, I learn a lot but I also enjoy and laugh a lot with your videis. Thanks a lot, darking!

[@madelinefarrell2176]

I just absolutely adore him. Such great spirit and personality. Another fun watch and beautiful cake

[@richardwillis5033]

Great video John, thank you! I now "butter" and flour all my cake pans using Crisco and flour instead of butter. The reason is that flour adheres better to fat than to water. Butter contains around 20% water; the European butters are approximately 18% water. Crisco is 100% fat so flour sticks to Crisco better than butter given butter's water content. Also, Crisco is cheaper and easier to use as it's already at room temperature (I keep mine in the pantry in a cool, dark place). I cook only with butter and make meringue buttercreams only with all butter, but Crisco has a role for me in my cake making.

I made this cake yesterday, and here are some thoughts. Your cake recipes and all the tips for making perfect cake layers is top notch! Dense crumb, yet so light and moist. Your cakes are MAGIC. However, you said in your video that some people don’t like American buttercream. I never made it before, and it was not what I thought. So I am with those that do not care for it. So now I am super excited to try your Swiss or Italian buttercream! I never wanted to make it because it seems overly complicated. But you make everything look easy and attainable. That is the mark of a great teacher. Thank you so much for bringing your joy of baking to my family. We are having a lot of fun together watching you, and then trying it out!

[@dudessjoddie]

If you don’t like English/American buttercream, try Russian. It’s made with condensed milk instead so less sweet but ridiculously easy to make and use :)

[@Alyssa82]

Your mother is adorable! Thank you for having her drop by : )

i have tried this cake and the output was really great 🤩🤩🤩...thank you and i did this for my daughters birthday bash and the output was extremely good !!!!! thank you so much brother from Malaysia

[@nancyomalley9959]

You could also call it a "Frozen" or "Elsa" cake-Great idea for all the little Elsa fans out there

[@pattywolfe4586]

Love it when you have your Mom on your videos❤️you can tell what a good relationship you have with her😉I just love your chocolate cakes😋 I think now it’s time to try the white cake & expand my horizons😉another happy viewer coming from Carmel-By-The-Sea...thanks so much for all the mouth watering recipes🥰

[@Iris-lk9ig]

Rolling the cake in the sugar is a brilliant idea. You make it always look so easy and you’re always calm and never rushed.

[@anal.f.c.7127]

I love youu!! I’ve prepared some diferent recipies and all are deeeeeliciousss!!! Thank you so much for sharing and have a beautiful compassionate heart♥️. You are a beautiful Human being♥️♥️♥️🙋🏼‍♀️🙏🏻. God bless and protects you ♥️♥️♥️♥️🙏🏻

I just made “leftover curry” glass noodle stir fry. One of the ingredients is ground cardamom. It’s amazing! He’s right about cardamom!

[@dudessjoddie]

Goes beautifully with orange! Especially chocolate orange!

[@patriciatorres9131]

I truly love watching you bake , you show the real you and not cover up a great baker and cooks mess up. Stay real my friend. Beautiful blessing to you and your beautiful gorgeous Family. Love and prayers from the Island of Guam✌❤🙏🌺🌴🎉Happy New Year 🎉 filled with God's blessings, love and abundance🙏

[@DeborahZajac]

I love watching you make cakes! You're so inspiring! I bought some little 6 inch cake pans, and the cake strips. I can't believe I'd never heard of those before! Next up...getting in large supplies of butter, flour, and sugar! 😜 And the hardest of all. Choosing which cake to try! This Winter Wonderland Cake is on my short list though. Your mom is adorable!

[@olehmalynovskyy643]

With everything you bake is just to the holaday. 😊🤗

[@ashleyw977]

literally nobody can stop watching your vids

[@danaventura5998]

You are the only one I have seen using cake strips to make flat layers. Rolling the cake in different colors of sanding sugar so clever and beautiful.

[@helensharmony7331]

I found myself watching this video because of your backsplash, it looks like mine. Can you do a kitchen tour, would like to see how you organize all your cooking and baking stuff? I love your style. By the way amazing cake.

[@JoeHollywood22]

Yes please!!!!

[@MsMusicfan2]

Omg That would be amazing! And expensive for me :D I already bought the cake strips because of him :D

[@juliegriffitts3974]

I got the cake strips too. Life changing. @@MsMusicfan2

[@michaelnebbia7901]

@@juliegriffitts3974 it is life changing! Trump should build a wall using cake strips

[@Mombot101]

Ooh that would be great!

[@aaronmohammed6998]

I LOVE THIS SERVICE CAKE AND LEMON JUICE

[@leelee-kn1jh]

for my last cake, i used selfmade-cakestrips.. and it turned out perfect flat and with supersoft sides. it IS life-changing!!

[@suzyparker8303]

Another easy technique for cleaning around the edges is to use wax or parchment paper cut in half underneath the cake. When you're done frosting, just pull each side away and you have a lovely clean bottom of your cake.

[@ruthhimonidis9214]

I love this guy....I can't go a day without turning in to watch a video! Don't know where he's been all my life but so glad he's around now.

[@lesleygoodman6986]

Thanks for answering my question about cleaning the pedestal.😊 Cardamom and peppermint - such an interesting combination. You're expanding our horizons.

[@KatyB1113]

He’s gotten so much more comfortable while filming in the last couple of years, which I love!!

[@Stardust_4300]

Love this gorgeous cake, no cardamom for me 😅 it reminds me of spice cake that I don't like. I've got sooo many of those cake strips but have never used them? Never really had a problem with my cakes doming since I have lowered my heat when I bake cakes. I like cutting my cakes in half so I have 6 layers 💖 I like the cake to icing ratio 🤗

[@harinivenkateshan4613]

You are a cake magician. Never adored anyone like you.

[@rebeccahunt7537]

I've been looking for a tutorial for a cake my daughters Frozen birthday party this will be perfect!!

[@aaambrose]

Hi John, I recently found your videos. I’m a trained baker but I’m of a certain age and people want to hire youngers. You are great to watch, and learn from. You seem so nice and not nervous. I get nervous Sometimes when I bake. You inspire me!

[@coolwater55]

Love the science facts interspersed in the methodology! Cows eating grass...hehe

[@Sparky48236]

Nice to see a recipe that uses cardamom. It is a staple in Scandinavian and Finnish baking. I grew up with cardamom in breads, pastries and cakes. Internet ordering makes it easier and less expensive to obtain, especially if you order it in bulk as I do. I hope you look into more recipes that use it. Thanks!

[@CatsPajamas23]

Really pretty cake. I love the combination of white chocolate and mint, and cardamom but I wouldn't have thought that combination would work, but a small amount like a1/4 tsp is genius. I agree with you about the butter. I was raised on good old LandOlakes butter, but I honestly don't mind store brand butter,as long as it's just cream and salt. For your European, Polish and Slovakian viewers, quark and creme fraiche, or cottage cheese pureed until smooth also work in place of sour cream.

[@lindajackson5498]

I love how you’re so nonchalant about when it comes to your your videos,. In some of your previous videos,I find it so humorous especially when you make a mess, and you don’t rush to clean it up, for example tossing your egg shells here and there.... Love watching you and hearing of your family. I couldn’t believe that was your mom, she is so young looking! Continue with more videos!

[@parisnkosi5980]

The cake looks delicious and the buttercream

[@mariaemedinadiaz]

I’m binging on watching your beautiful and amazing 😉 cake 🍰 recipes omg 😮 I love ❤️, love 💕 your recipes aww 🥰 your mom is so beautiful 😍 May god bless you all.

[@anishamahajan8179]

Thank you so much ! I baked 2 cakes following your recipe and i couldnt believe what i ate! They were superb, you are such a blessing in this lockdown!

[@extrovertedthinker]

I would use this color scheme for an ocean scene on a cake as well. Very versatile.

[@geraldinalagos]

I love and cheers me up the way you are always smiling. Wish that smile stays for ever on your face. "The smiling chef"

[@dudessjoddie]

Yup sour cream is common in England too 😅 I/we use it when making Mexican cuisine as guacamole, salsa & sour cream are the ultimate combo! But most never associate it with baking/ as a baking ingredient, only as a condiment for savoury food.

[@T.R.163]

I love your channel. Since I discovered it a few days ago I’ve learned so much about baking already. I’m going to make a birthday cake for a friend in a few weeks and definitely will follow one of your recipes. Thank you ☀️😁

[@ThisEndUpProductions]

My 5 yr old daughter loves watching your videos and trying out your recipes on the weekends.

[@PreppyKitchen]

I'm so glad!

[@budoneof15]

You make it look so easy. I think this is a 2019 challenge

[@tammywinters7860]

I love your fabric strips! Mine must be older than yours because mine are just gray and I have to pin them! Also, I absolutely love your mixer! Blue's my favorite color and that one is beautiful! And your counters are gorgeous! Love the cake too! Really like your channel! Thank you!

[@mabiamedeirosreis5470]

We don’t hv sour cream in Brazil! I make mine draining plain yogurt over night in a cloth and then I mix it with whipping cream (a tbsp for 150 g). It tastes the same and in my experience it should be measured by weight like everything else including milk and water! That is the write way to do it,John, and you know it! Tks for the recipe!

[@srihidayati5026]

amazing, cake without mixer .. great

[@debbiehowery4870]

So fun watching this one - and then having your beautiful Mom joining you was such a sweet perk!

[@MsMusicfan2]

So early 😍 it looks delicious! It’s my mom‘s birthday on Friday and I’m still trying to choose which of your recipes I’m using ☺️ but I guess it doesn’t matter, they would all turn out great!

[@MitchAndPhilip]

That ombre sugar technique is breathtaking! And the finished cake is a work of art. Love you show.

[@13soap13]

Visually, this is such a stunning cake. Unique! I am sure, to use your favorite word, the taste is amazing. The icing sugar reminded me of gemstones. It would be fun to do a cake for each month according to one's birthstone and its color. I have subbed mayo for sour cream, but nothing compares to sour cream! I am a soaper. A soap batter is nothing less than a cake batter! I recently bought some pvc pipe that I cut into short pieces. I put them in the soap mold (or in your case, a cake pan) and, in each, I placed a different color batter surrounded by the neutral base batter. Then I pulled them out. Voila! Just a head's up to keep ahead of the pack. Seek inspiration everywhere. Glad to see your mom.

It was the best ASMR when you smoothed out the blue shades of icing and especially rolling it in the gradients of sugar. Ahhhhh Yaaaass

Another beautiful masterpiece! Love the blue you used because it does make it feel wintry. BTW what scale do you use and does it have a wall plug in option? My scale just died. Love your video.

[@dudessjoddie]

I’ve never seen a mains powered scale in my life? Do they exist? They’re all battery powered aren’t they???

[@KetoMealsandRecipes]

Hi Jodie! Yes, they do exist. I found some on the internet that are dual powered (battery and adapter). I was gifted a no-battery, "wind up" version, but it is a bit of a nuisance to use, but it is nice that it doesn't run out of battery. Happy baking!
