Ron Ben-Israel Cutting & Serving a Wedding Cake

[@madonnahagedorn5649]

The cake itself is a masterpiece. You take great pride and care when disassembling and cutting a cake. Lovely tutorial.

[@d.h.1691]

This method is brilliant!! Thank you for sharing!! The traditional way with the circles is so sloppy and you get small squatty pieces. These slices are so elegant and really display and give credit to the beautiful layers inside.

[@christinesteele6629]

Amazing, i'm making the cake for my daughters wedding and i was worried about the cutting and the serving of the cake, your way so simple and beautifully done thank you 👍

[@sarahs7253]

Me too. I see it was 7 years ago. But how'd it go?

[@jennymckinney7175]

It’s the weeee hours of the morning , but I really want wedding cake right now 😄. Gorgeous layering beautiful service thank you rbi 💕👩🏻‍🍳

[@emryms1204]

Like the way u cut the cake, clean, no crumbs and nothing to waste💯

[@fabiolambekwe9938]

Waohhhh. I've always loved your works. So beautiful and perfect finishing

[@kyotho]

I LOVE this man! He is a genious. Many greetings from Germany.

[@joannevargas9638]

Thank you so much! Beautiful cakes, too!!!

[@MsLuminescence]

so precise! I love the details on the type of knife, gloves, thinking it through, etc - thanks!

[@Justlexijay]

I'm so glad I found this because I hate the traditional way of cutting the cake (with the circles).

[@cindyboor7876]

I wouldn't mind having the recipe for that cake! It really looks yummy!

[@michelleslifeonrepeat]

Great teaching. Thank you

[@gdubbs680]

Best method I've seen.

[@whatscookinglari]

Wow! So professional!

[@vondahamn4462]

would have been great to see the cut instead of watching from a distant and than getting a close up after the fact :(

[@elsiepaulo966]

Wonderful tutorial. Very helpful for me.

[@griselrobles3235]

love it thank you so much always the best !!!

[@madonnahagedorn5649]

Thank you for the tutorial. What is the typical cake cutting and serving fee? I know there is a charge but I can't find videos that discuss the matter. It's work to disassemble, cut slices, wash all the hardware and decorations, serve the cake and clean all the dishes that get used. Because all of that gets done behind a closed door in the kitchen area, no one really sees that it is indeed a performed service.

[@austinthomas8464]

am i the only one who realizes that he sounds like clause from American dad?

[@mariahardy1201]

Wow I would fight somebody over that first slice!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@s.a.l948]

That was one good looking cake.

[@evabingley2469]

This is great! Thank you 😊

[@pastelitosbyluisa9385]

SUPER!!!!!THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS VIDEO😘😘😘😘

[@jacarno]

Thanks for sharing.

[@sarahs7253]

Do you reuse the wooden dowels? And was that knife 100 dollars?

[@lesliessweetobsession5285]

Beautiful slices. :)

[@hubbynwifey7]

wish there were close-ups of cutting the cake instead of side views

[@Cakescake252]

Amazing

[@verashular7378]

The camera man should have been closer to the cake and Ben-Israel should have been looking into camera. Camera person should have adjusted for this.

[@Homoclite]

Superb! 5 Stars!!!!!

[@tewesathemonkey]

Ron, where can I purchased the knife (fish slicer type knife) that you spoke of...I am so tired of seeing inferior cake slices! Please advise, Thank You!

[@brenyoung5878]

It’s a bread knife

[@mindyglazer1150]

Beautiful demonstration. PLEASE know and learn NEVER to use latex gloves! I have a severe latex allergy and eating cake served by someone wearing latex can and will send me to the emergency room! It is a more common allergy than you think! Please switch to latex free gloves when dealing with the public. They are the purple or blue gloves or use clear vinyl. Thanks!

[@tewesathemonkey]

Wow, interesting point! Thanks for sharing that concern.

[@distie_yt7785]

I never knew that 👍🏼👍🏼

[@sharonathanasiou2932]

There are PLENTY Of latex-free gloves that are white. I use them all the time.

[@mindyglazer8389]

@@sharonathanasiou2932 I am a nurse…I know latex gloves when I see them. Nitrile gloves are usually purple or blue…more importantly, I can tell from medical experience these …meaning latex, have too much stretchability to them. Yes, there are beige ones that are available, but the stretching and snapping doesn’t exist like these do.

[@agacob2716]

Hey chef, I love your wedding cake. Just curious about their sizes and height?

[@susansabuclalao2651]

May i know what kind of butter should be should to come up good quality buttercream icing.thanks

[@Double44]

I would marry this man just for his taste in desserts

[@faithafterdark7801]

I don't understand the 360 resolution. This is like looking at a gorgeous pond through a muddy window.

[@muzakmuzak3115]

So much cleaner that that 'cut the circle' nonsense. Thanks Ron!

[@Dawn2Dusk23]

can you please tell me what kind of knife that is? what is it officially called (ex. "paring knife", etc)? where can i buy "a fish slicer" knife?

[@brenyoung5878]

It’s a bread knife

[@dianamartinez9782]

What is used for the top tier (anniversary cake) I'm assuming it can't be perishable since it will be saved for a year???

[@lilymachado7418]

Diana Martinez. It's exactly the same as the rest of the cake. It would be wrapped quite well and then frozen. It actually comes out beautiful.

[@smubarak100]

So this cake covered by buttercream or fondant

[@mindyglazer8389]

Fondant icings have a thin layer of buttercream put on before the fondant.

[@pilimunoz8757]

soy una gran miradora y mencanta todo lo ke hase lo malo el hidima pero un saludo des España

[@padmeraven7290]

I would like to note that if you have a friend make your cake, they are NOT required to cut and serve it, they made the cake their job is done. Oh and I like the way he cuts the cake but I hate outside piece too much carmelization

[@annt4593]

How to cut handbag cake ?make a tutorial pls

[@vanessashay3973]

ive seen this so many times! and i still wonder what method they use to attach the center rod to the cake board.

[@murphyboyse4135]

drill a small hole in the bottom of the board slightly smaller than the support. then when the support is inserted it is very tight and holds it still

[@rickster4u2007]

yummy!

[@stocklotsin-enverkoop6932]

very Nice

[@anadg3344]

muy prolijo el chef

[@KR-vm6es]

I think camera man was in love with you that's why he/she was more focus on your face than cake...

[@diatriberdiatriber2919]

I'm confused about the comment of how Satin Ice complements the cake & buttercream, no-one actually eats fondant that often do they? I tried & it was disgusting! Mainly for decoration right?

[@mindyglazer8389]

Depends on the fondant like anything else. I make a marshmallow fondant and it is loved by all that eat it!

[@victoryvictory8246]

Yummy

[@ednaferreira3352]

adorei pena que nao. entendo o q vc fala vc poderia deixar um texto

[@dianamarinatorresalonso5068]

where i live is so hot, that i don´t even need the how water haha

[@JessicaAhibo]

This is beautiful but realistically caterers cannot cut a cake like that they would never be able to serve a 150 people like that.

[@mindyglazer8389]

I have seen the cakes like this for large wedding crowds used for the bride and groom to take their traditional first bite to feed each other…all the while, the staff is in the back cutting a matching flavor sheet cake. It saves time with large crowds.

[@eddesa5134]

I doubt that a cake that uses thin icing on a buttercream undercoat will keep for 1 year! You are far more likely to get food poisoning or have to spit out the first mouthful after it defrosts as you will find the butter has gone rancid and bacteria and mould will have generated toxins on the soggy inside! If you want a cake to last a whole year then you have to use fruitcake which is steeped in spirits eg brandy (as the alcohol in the soaked fruit and added to the warm cake after its baked act as a preservative) and you will have to use jam/syrup, marzipan and icing to ensure the cake has an air tight coat to stop air, bacteria and fungus/ mould spores getting into the cake to make it go off. Nothing to stop you from having sponge cakes to serve at the wedding but the top tier if you want to keep for the first anniversary must be fruitcake.

[@mskellycupcake]

Couples freeze their tightly wrapped top layer to thaw and eat on the anniversary.

[@eddesa5134]

@@mskellycupcake Even if you 'tightly' wrap a sponge cake it will NOT keep for a YEAR. Go to your local supermarket and look at the freeze ratings on the frozen sponge cakes - at most they will be ok for 6 months...and these ones will be sealed in mass production factories where the environment is kept clean and sealed in air tight plastic, then a box and frozen immediately - not put on display for hours in a wedding reception under hot lights with numerous sweaty people dancing around to contaminate the cake with airborne bacteria. Alcohol in the cake is the essential ingredient that acts to stop bacteria feeding on the sugars and secreting toxins. That's why fruit cakes and christmas pudding are laced heavily and thoroughly with brandy, rum, whiskey and other high proof spirits. Of course if you don't believe me do go ahead and give your loved ones 1 year old defrosted sponge cake and see how much they will love you.

[@mskellycupcake]

@@eddesa5134 I work at the supermarket i know exactly how long they give frozen products. You wouldn't believe the shelf life on some foods!

[@b1gn3ll]

that ganache is sooo thick

[@mindyglazer8389]

I make wedding cakes and party cakes. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE STOP using Latex gloves!!! I am highly allergic to latex to the point I need EMT’s to come give me epinephrine and O2...I always have to check what kind of gloves cooks are wearing. If I had eaten this cake, his latex gloves were on the top and bottom. I would be in big trouble! I love slicing and serving my multi layer, multi tiered cakes like this. Presentation is great and more slices per cake.

[@AliSparks2]

How many people does that cake serve?

[@amygomez6926]

Probably about 50

[@salazarslytherin9016]

im hungry niw

[@munahilsultana6650]

Is satin ice kosher or halal?

[@SatinFineFoods]

Munahil Sultana Hi! All of our products are Kosher. We do make some Halal products - these are available by request to your distributor. Hope this helps!

[@yolandapierce4258]

right. why would these people, whom are famous decorators, give away all of their secrets, and tips for FREE?!

[@ofeliajoly4190]

I Love you and I learned a lot from your vedeo thanks

[@midwinterlady1544]

Wedding cake in black-white ? Looks sad to me . . . Oh - maybe the black top is made to keep for the divorce party ;)

[@cindyukpai7307]
