Beautiful strips Maryam !

Thank you Lamya! :)

[@majedjazairi8070]

Hello... love all your videos. Thank u so much for making the effort and taking the time 🙏 l just watched your strip cake demo which was great, but could you please do a recipe and video showing how you made the cake underneath - 3 layers vanilla plus filling and stacking etc... l know u already have a vanilla cake video but it's for 2 layers only and l'm afraid to play around with your recipe... thank u 😊🤗

[@CakesbyMK]

Hi there! So glad to hear you enjoyed the tutorial :) and sure will keep that in mind for future videos - thanks for the suggestion! In the meantime, to make a 6 inch 3 layer cake you can use 1x my vanilla cake recipe, but for a larger 8 inch 3 layer cake then make 1.5x the recipe. For a simple tutorial on icing cakes, I do have an in depth course on Skillshare (linked in the description box), but also have the following KZbin tutorial you can check out :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/pGHdnGqQpMR5gbM

[@majedjazairi8070]

@@CakesbyMK Thank you sweetie x

[@lamemechose7072]

Great tutorial. The combs linked in the description are opaque plastic. In the video, you used a clear straight smoother and a double-side metal stripe comb. Where can I buy those two?

[@CakesbyMK]

Hi there! Yeah the ones I have in the video I bought from online shops here in New Zealand :). They don't always stock them though, but if you wanted to try and find them the websites are cakewarehouse.co.nz and kiwicakes.co.nz :)

[@hamidehorra4849]

It turned out gorgeous! Do you have a recipe for white chocolate buttercream?

[@CakesbyMK]

Lovely! I'm so glad to hear it turned out :D. I don't have a video on KZbin for this yet (I do have one on my course on Skillshare), but I do share the recipe for my chocolate SMBC on my SMBC blog post so you can find the recipe on there (for white chocolate SMBC you would just use the same amount of white chocolate instead of the dark chocolate) :)

[@anisahussain2088]

You should do a tutorial on how to make a Nutella frosting and decorate a Nutella cake with it. A lot of bakers add nuts on the side and a chocolate drip. On the top of the cake they put foreror roche or any chocolate! That would be an amazing video Thank you for all your beneficial videos!!

[@CakesbyMK]

Yum I love Nutella! I have an idea for a ferrero rocher cake so lets see if I can incorporate nutella into it somehow :). Thanks for the suggestions and glad you're enjoying the videos!

[@anisahussain2088]

Cakes by MK you are welcome for the suggest. But thank you for taking your time to respond 💛

[@CakesbyMK]

@@anisahussain2088 No problem. Appreciate your support :)

I'm thinking of using this technique for a Mexican flag cake with green ,white and red stripes for September 15 but I am making a cream cheese frosting, guava cake . Can I use this technique with cream cheese frosting?

[@CakesbyMK]

Hi there! Yes it should work :)

[@cookiedou6153]

Great, keep going!

[@CakesbyMK]

Thanks so much! :D

[@rizmiyarazik2802]

Hello mk, can I know will the swiss meringue butter cream melt off the cake? Will it dry off like the ordinary buttercream? Plz do reply mk, I always have this doubt. And won’t the swiss meringue buttercream melt when it is taken out of the fridge?

[@CakesbyMK]

Hi Rizmiya! Swiss meringue buttercream is quite a stable buttercream, and although it will get soft in humid weather, it won't melt off the cake as the egg whites help to hold everything together. Hope that helps :)

[@rizmiyarazik2802]

@@CakesbyMK thank you so much ❤️

[@shaakiracassim5144]

So beautiful !did u heat ur scraper

[@CakesbyMK]

Thanks Shaakira! Nope I didn't :)

[@mayowaadaramoye885]

Doesnt butter icing melt if taken to the fridge and out

[@technologicalscience864]

Hi chef can we do same thing i.e. strip design from whipped cream

[@CakesbyMK]

Hi there! I am not so sure as whipped cream is quite soft. Perhaps if you use a stable whipped cream frosting it might work :)

[@chenisemoore5054]

Can i use this method with ganache?

[@CakesbyMK]

Yes that should be fine :)

[@anuchaudhary2885]

Can we do this with whipped cream frosting

[@CakesbyMK]

Hi there! I am not sure this specific technique will work with whipped cream as whipped cream is quite soft. Perhaps if you use a stable whipped cream frosting that sets firmly it may work :)

[@bougieyes9086]

Keeep going so nicee

[@CakesbyMK]

Thank you! :D

[@mayamb9614]

I have a question please when I took my cake from the freezer and I start to put the final step of buttercream,it become hard and frozen , what should i do ?

[@CakesbyMK]

Hi there! Which part became hard? The buttercream? That's okay - once you scrape the excess buttercream off, the design from underneath will come through :)

[@neoniwad8148]

Hey MK! Can you give the link of the next video of this cake.

[@CakesbyMK]

Heya! Yes sure here it is :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJebiHWKodKWbas

[@amell3540]

After you do your first layer of BC, you must freeze it for 15-20 min otherwise when you try to scrape the cake to make stripes you end up making a mess.

Pls show buttercream recipe without egg

[@CakesbyMK]

Hi there! I have done a video on American buttercream on my channel which has no eggs in it :)

[@lubnamahmoodi7193]

Please if u have an amazing recipes ..thanks

[@CakesbyMK]

Hi Lubna! You can check out my blog at www.cakesbymk.com for recipes :)

[@afraahmariam6083]

why do bakers use buttercream more than whipping cream

[@CakesbyMK]

Hi Afraah! This is often due to stability. Whipped cream is often not a very stable type of frosting and is relatively soft, so when making layer cakes or even fondant cakes, you want a frosting that's going to set very firmly. Also when it comes to piping and certain decorating techniques, the texture of buttercream is much easier to work with. Hope that helps! :)
