Random thoughts while I cover a cake in ombre buttercream 🥰

[@wadly312]

Completely agree! A talent is only a talent until you hone it into a real skill with practice and hours and hours and years of hard work

[@dailyvidswithme]

So true! I don’t do. Are decorating but I do Art 🖼️ , I have always been good at it but when I started practicing my Art became extremely BEAUTIFUL 🤩 so it’s always a little hobby until you practice and become way better😊

[@thaliavillalva1035]

Si 😀😃😍👋👍💙amor😍

[@Appaddict01]

Some people will never be as good as others no matter how much they practice.

[@riakendall8610]

Without natural artisic talent, that honed skill will only get you so far.

You just described when a talent becomes a profession.

I love this so much!

This is awesome and I totally agree!

[@jessicabullock2990]

This is awesome. I think this perfectly describes it

[@anakhanair_]

Valid, but i also think some people are born with artistic abilities .kids are taught the same alphabets but some have prettier handwriting to begin with, or better drawing than their pales. Of course in order to better it ,one has to keep practicing and stay consistent.

[@fernanalma0120]

Love it

[@carriebrown679]

First, definitely agree! Second, that ombre is perfection! Third, my mom used to say "Okey dokey, artichoke-y!" I miss her. You brought that fun memory back. Thank you. ❤

[@EmilyLucille523]

“Okey dokey artichokey!”Haven’t heard that in years! Brought a smile to my face 😊

[@sdot.1701]

Can’t remember who said it but I love the saying “practice makes improvement, because you can never be perfect “ 😊

[@lionesshuntress3591]

That's true! My guess is that whoever added the 'perfect' into that phrase just helps boost people's confidence

[@LyNguyen-vs6pu]

I think I’ve heard Bake My Day Mimo say that

[@lilianarodriguez7561]

My third grade teacher used to say “practice with not make you perfect but practice is permanent”

[@lexichantel96]

“practice makes progress” keeps the alliteration!

[@kawehi13]

I definitely agree. I feel like for some they might be a natural and pick up new tricks easier than others. While others have to practice over and over again to get it all down.

[@lisamckay5058]

I love the physical representation of the two beautiful colors, so different, yet blending together to form an extraordinary whole, in reference to the combination of talent and practiced skill. Or, as my younger friends would say, "I see what you did there." 😂❤

[@beckytapper9140]

Absolutely! I'm a florist and believe you can both learn to be a good florist or naturally be gifted. Or both!

[@user-sn6wh9gr2e]

That blend is so much smooth and the colour combination is looking so aesthetic ❤

[@E.Meyers]

Both! Absolutely love the ombré color combo!!

[@watercolourartincapetown2919]

I think it’s the perseverance towards perfection 👌 sure you work at your craft but the reason you want to is because of your natural aptitude, enjoyment and the need to improve your skills that’s sort of what fuels you to work so hard at your craft 💜

[@algrant5293]

I think cake decorating is an art form just like any other only it's temporary and probably appreciated in a way that something in a gallery never would be. 😋 I hope you keep a record of all your creations because every time you cut into a cake it breaks my heart 😅 Maybe there should be a Tigga Mac gallery? Framed cakes, statues of your best creations and a pile of crumbs in the corner with the label 'MODERN ART' 😂 Absolutely have to have an ability and as you say practice, practice, practice.

[@lunaballuna]

Its definitely natural talent with lots of practice and dedication. Even the worst artist, with enough practice, can become a natural or master at cake decorating 😊 also, she didnt scrape the top all the way straight and once you notice, you cant un-notice! Lol still an amazing cake decorator! Id hire her in a heartbeat if she lived in my area!

[@algrant5293]

@@lunaballuna I would love to order a cake from Tigga Mac but it would have to travel a hellofa long way to get here 😅 Luckily for me my adorable neighbour bakes and decorates and sometimes tests out on her neighbours. Its a hard life 😂😋

[@travisdabis9805]

My friend started baking and it was insane how much she improved in just a year! She made me a cake for my birthday last year and this year and it was crazy how much a year's worth of practice helps.

[@jisoosdalgom1670]

Your vids are just amazing!!🎉❤

[@Nameless_mixes]

Honestly, this applies to everything. Some people will be more naturally inclined to doing something. But everyone’s capable of picking it up, learning how to do it, and working hard to improve their skills at it. And the people who aren’t as naturally inclined can rise above the skill level of those that are if they work harder at it. It’s sort of like if you’re metaphorically running a marathon. The people who are more naturally inclined maybe started a mile ahead of you. But you both have so much distance to cover before you unlock your full potential (the finish line). And some people will either stop and stay where they are or completely drop out all together.

[@tiggamac]

Totally agree! Although I do think some people may reach their skill ceiling before others who have the natural talent!

[@Megan-mz4sw]

I think that cake looks gorgeous, I love the ombré type effect

YES WITHIN AN HOUR I SAW THIS! MY LIFE LONG GOAL HAS BEEN COMPLETE

[@teejay8258]

Totally agree. While practice makes perfect, you have seem to have a very natural talent. Your cakes are exceptional!

[@kandykane2160]

Both. My husband is a guitar player. It came very natural for him, but he practices his hobby on his days off and learns new things all the time.

[@GloryofGore666]

I feel like this applies to most skills. You have something you're naturally drawn to because the way it's done appeals to how you work, and then you spend lots of time learning and practicing

[@thexaviera]

The skill to be able to master the materials and process does not make up for the talent of being artistic with your designs. Not everyone understands color, texture and creativity. There is definitely a huge difference…your cakes exude artistic ability…most others we see online either copy something they saw or follow a formula…not everyone should have creative control over their cake decoration. You are an artist. ❤

[@cheeririnaldo435]

You are one hundred percent correct. I'm an artist with a degree in design and do some cake decorating for family & friends. Being an artist is a plus.

[@josiecoop4886]

[@nelliekenny9630]

Bit from column A , bit from column B. It helps if you're creative 😊

[@janejarve]

I agree with you, that it's both. I make cards. Practice has made me better at it. I often can't explain my choices in putting things together and I reckon that's the "talent" part. It just comes to you. It's the same for anything that involves creating. Any form of "artistry". 😊

[@user-cr6yd4ls9p]

Agree! I've only just started at 54 years old and loving it! I've always had the natural flair but play about and practice - results are coming along nicely 🎉

[@chloes7497]

I 100% agree with you , some people dedicate so much time taking acting classes and putting down so many hours trying to perfect whatever skill they have and other people not to say they don’t put any work into this skill it just simply comes more naturally to them.

[@2company3crowd63]

Great work and I agree. And thanks for confirming this. I do all the stuff you name. I craft, paint, draw, model clay, etc. I enjoy baking so much and now want to try cake decorating. It’s nice to meet other ppl who have multiple talents and hobbies, and even better when they wear All the hats, pretty well. 😊

[@figmo397]

I agree with you 100%! It helps to have talent, but to get down the techniques you need to practice them.

I completely agree with you I've always taken art classes love drawing love writing and I'm very creative and I love cake baking and cake decorating

[@shannonforsberg4118]

I agree. I've always been good at math, science, and writing, but suck at anything artistic. I could probably learn the basics of cake decorating well enough to make a simple cake, because, like you said, it takes practice to get the techniques down. But I will never have an eye for design. My cakes would be boring af. This is one reason I like cake decorating channels like yours. It's fun to see someone who is creative make such beautiful things. I'm in constant awe that you can even imagine the designs you do, let alone actually make them.

[@Tiewaz]

The skills can all be learned. The gift is being able to blend all the techniques into something beautiful. After watching your videos for a while, I could replicate what you do, but I'd be copying one of your previous designs. Like, that ombre technique I could probably do with some practice, but I'd only be able to maybe change the colors used. I don't know that I could come up with something new.

[@audramitchell9894]

Love blue & purple together ❤️🌹❤️

[@jenbennettpond737]

Practice makes perfect and that buttercream is perfect 😮 👌

[@AhhhTube]

I agree with both. I was already an artist, so cake art is just another expression of creating. However, there is so much more to learn and never ending ways to use the cake elements.

[@applescratchcandy]

Well said and GORGEOUS ombre! So satisfying to watch you make and blend those colours together!

[@damned_1]

I totally agree, natural born talent… I also agree that *ANYONE* can do it but it does require patience and practice practice practice! 🥹🫶🏽

[@s.z.6200]

Pretty cake. You make it look so easy.

[@suechapman6026]

I agree completely! First comes the DESIRE to create. Second, the practice, over and over again. Third, YES, the “muscle memory” from the practice is so very helpful. One my of favorite calligraphy teachers (“Lefty” Fontenrose) told us, “PRACTICE doesn’t make perfect. Only PERFECT PRACTICE makes perfect.” If you keep on repeating an error, that error will become “your perfect”. That’s one of many reasons I love watching your videos, you show us all how to repeat the “perfect” we aspire to create. BTW, that ombré was so gorgeous! Thank you!

[@2009reinvention]

That cake is so pretty. I would love to have that cake. Great job! 😊

[@Aivilcurie]

I think talent is about what brings you joy and what you are passionate about and have a knack for, skill is what happens when you put time and effort into that talent.

[@ldancer2340]

I enjoy watching You create.

[@mahadewiiii]

Agree! It’s like anything. Anyone can “do it”… but no matter how much you practice some people will have more natural ability to run with and do it to a much higher standard and more easily!

[@colourfulsouls]

Yes, I completely agree that it’s both! I’m an artist of all sorts of mediums (from clay to watercolor to embroidery & everything in between) And while I tend to be better at picking stuff up easily & fast, But I work hard to try all sorts of tips & tricks & techniques with every medium to master them! Believe it or not, I actually end up learning a lot of techniques that carry over into other mediums or at least give me new ideas to use other mediums in different ways (if that makes sense)

[@colourfulsouls]

*tho I’ve never tried cake decorating, only have baked & decorated cakes & desserts for people I know, gingerbread houses etc

[@jheniclairekaighen3577]

Definitely! When i came to America, i did not know how to bake. I've always loved drawing amd painting. Later on i learned to bake because my daughter wanted a unicorn cake and i didn't have the money to buy one, so i made one. It was a hit. Now i sell my cake and people love it!

I agree with you, I think with practice anyone could do it, just trial & error. Some may be more artistic but if you enjoy it, go for it!!!! 😊💜

[@vanessasfamily]

I agree 100% anyone can learn to do anything if they try their hardest and don't give up. However their is certain things that come easier to some then others because we all use different parts of our brains

[@frelnc]

I think it would be absolutely essential for a cake decorator to have some artistic sense. Essential. As for this cake, I love the subtle blending of the two colors. Very snazzy.
