Apart from the mishap with the sugar I really enjoyed making this cake. It always cracks me up how confident my children are in my abilities. The good thing is that they see me battle with some of these cakes, they see my frustration but they also see me improvising. lol, God has taught me so many lessons since I started cake decorating, might sound silly but these lessons have been applicable in other areas.
"Mommy, I tried to make this insert project here and it didn't work!"
"How many times did you try?"
"Twice."
"Let's remember when Mommy was trying to make calla lilies, took me about 15 tries before I was satisfied with the result. I had to try several different angles and tips too, you have to think of other ways you can acheive the same result. We'll never accomplish anything if we give up."
"Okay Mommy, I'll try again!"
Cake, it's a part of life :D

I just spent ages looking for this video ! I remember watching this video right after it got uploaded when I was a kid and this was my favourite video for a while. I don't know why after 10 years I felt like I had to watch the video again but I'm happy that I'm watching it again. I don't know who you are lady but I want you to know that your videos made me a very happy when I was a child. I hope you and your family are all staying well and healthy!

[@SeriousCakes]

Oh my word, thank you so much!!

[@Adz1001]

Im a 19 year old boy and somehow came across this video whilst searching for videos of a 1989 Yamaha ZXR750, but i was so intrigued by the picture i started watching and before I knew it i'd watched the whole thing and I think it was awesome! Serious respect.

[@melanierichardson2653]

Loved watching this process on my sick day off work. Music carried me off to fairy land - Don't get to go there to often so thank you. Cake looked magical!

[@ifruti2]

i really love how much variety you get in your decorating without using any fondant(blech) at all.

[@Lacey-wx4hr]

Love the thought that went into this cake. Also your sense of humor is great. I felt for you while watching the sprinkles part cause I'm like "That is totally me somedays".

[@Candy102297]

I had so much fun watching this! Made me snort out loud a couple times...and now I don't feel so bad on wanting to cry over everything that went wrong with my grandson's first bday cake last Saturday. It was my first foray into cake decorating. It turned out...but dang was it a nightmare!!

[@SeriousCakes]

Ah yes, looking back we can laugh, right? Lol 😆 Thanks for watching!

[@irenef4166]

You made my day. I would have given up and bought one. You are a hero.

[@SeriousCakes]

Awww thanks!

[@valeriegallic1657]

This gave me hope for my cake future. And the giggles. Thank you for sharing.

[@ActualReality86]

Oh how I miss videos uploaded of your cakes. You're the one who got me interested in beginning to make my cakes. I haven't made youtube videos yet, but as soon as I can I will start doing so.

[@AprilM831]

Well done, beautiful cake! I know if I were your daughter I would be pleased as a Princess! Happy Birthday to the Fairy Princess! Hugs

[@chavitavb]

I'm speechless so much passion and love went into the cake... *tear*

[@DebbieTaylorpdx]

Your cake looked great! I bet the kids just loved it!

[@weedsnwildflowers]

Another beautiful cake from the hands of Serious Cakes! Well done my friend.

[@saraconnar]

you are my hero!! you inspire me to make cakes everyday!! and as a result i made a basket weave checkerboard cake for Christmas and was a great hit with my family. just miscalculated the size though!! was still eating it today morning!! thanks for your inspiration!!

[@savychilla]

I must say. This video thoroughly impressed me. Not only was the cake AMAZING, but I absolutely LOVED the commentary. I was seriously laughing out loud the whole time (with you, of course). You just found yourself a new subscriber! :D

[@jaynestorer9330]

LOL love this tutorial, you are very laid back and funny with your approach, it was really entertaining and the end result was fab. Well worth all that beating yourself up lol. Looking forward to seeing some more tutorials/films from you :)

[@Greywuylf]

I love this video because the whole time I was saying, "I feel your pain, sister." And then the cake turned out beautiful.

[@SeriousCakes]

Anna OConner Thank you :D

[@PixieStJohn]

Cute cake and great humor ! Loved it

[@charellcocco3824]

I enjoyed this thoroughly. You have a great talent and sense of humour. Will definitely be making this for my little sisters 4th birthday :)

[@janel1386]

i love watching shows or videos like this.. makes me want to learn how to decorate cakes too.. :)

[@foxyroxi1970]

I loved watching your video.. made me chuckle through it...very funny, and a beautiful cake too x well done x

[@michelethompson6990]

So I've been wanting to make a series of fairy gardens to document my extensive family 🌳 but I just couldn't decide how to do it. You have inspired me to do them with cake dummies and royal icing and fondant! I'm a cake decorator so it makes perfect sense! Thank you for your adorable 🎂!

[@SeriousCakes]

That sounds like a fun idea! Please let me know how it goes!

[@michelethompson6990]

Will do! I guess I will have to make a KZbin channel... LOL

[@SeriousCakes]

Yes!! Lol, I also like watching people decorate cakes!

[@sugarplum79]

Wow, what an absolutely gorgeous cake!!

[@kriSSy1989ja]

LOVE the cake....was totally reliving pride and prejudice in my head....looooove the score from the movie

[@SeriousCakes]

I found mine at a craft store in the cake decorating section. Even if you can't specifically find sanding sugar you ought to be able to find something similar, it's just larger grains of sugar, a bit like kosher or sea salt.

[@SeriousCakes]

You can definitely bake and freeze; allow your cakes to cool completely, then wrap in a double layer of plastic wrap. When you are ready to use them allow them to thaw to room temp before frosting. Word of advice-let them thaw completely, I've had terrible experiences frosting a frozen cake. Some people have no trouble with that but my frosting bulged and the decorations fell off.

[@millsgirl2]

You've done it again - such a cute cake!

[@celticsinger7463]

I am a pastry chef and I LOVED watching this tutorial "mistakes" and all!! It was great to see the entire process! I'm thinking of doing this cake for my grand daughter's 2nd birthday! You said in your notes that the sugar sprinkles made the cake too crunchy? What about coconut, dyed green and sprinkled with edible fairy or disco dust? :)

[@2kiki2kiki]

yo thank you for sharing the video, i love to see how to decorate the cake. you are a good mom..your children are so blessed hehe

[@northwoodsfroggy]

Love, love, love our comments and tutorial! I swear it could have been me! LOL! NEVER take yourself too seriously! You rock!

[@penelopegriva453]

Do I need to tell you that I cried my heart out watching this video? You killed me with the Pride and Prejudice Soundtrack

[@Cimorenne]

This is so cute! You do amazing things with buttercream!

[@mjjacobsen7529]

🧚‍♂️Your cake is made with 💕 love and is so beautiful 👍🏼👍🏼good job well done,you are very clever.🧚‍♀️🍄🧚‍♂️

[@TheBellastella]

This is just so so gorgeous!

[@bingk9903]

i didnt mean to but i did laugh when you were trying to stick sugar to the side of the house....its a neat pretty looking cake!!!!

[@Yasmeeno212]

ahhh bless....ur girls r soo lucky to hv u as der mom!!! xxx

[@sharonscott54]

Loved watching this video, and the fairy cake turned out beautiful :-)

[@SweetCheeksGF]

I have to admit that I did giggle about the sugar...but only because I've been there (with "dirt" on my son's bug bug cake) I LOVE your stuff though! Very inspirational. I'm supposed to be making a lemon meringue pie right now, but can't stop watching! Thanks ;)

[@FavouriteDarkness]

Absolutely stunning !

[@popze]

I am ever so jelaouse at you! You hardly see these kind of cakes in Denamrk since people think they are way to sugary and fatning, with all the frosting and so. But I just love these kind of cakes. They are so beautiful and they can really give you free hands when it comes to creativity in making designs for the cakes :D I've made it my goal in life to become a pastry chef and see if i'll be able to make american kind of cakes sell in Denmark :D thanks for all the inspiration you've giving me ;D

[@musofo17]

Just BEAUTIFUL! MERRY CHRISTMAS!

[@kookypensrule28]

you are sooo funny! like in the sprinkles part!LOL great cake!

[@SuhadShi]

Wow, AMAZING! I just happen to be flickring for a fairy cake, guess I wont have to flickr no more!

[@StopDanceGo]

This is really cute. Love it!

[@ZoeTowne]

@SeriousCakes Well I'm certainly glad you did! it's wonderful music, and it fits with the video beautifully

[@ShannonMoody]

wow,, just gorgeous,, you did a fantastic job!!!

[@SeriousCakes]

@janneke82 Huge holes might be due to the eggs, did you add them one at a time, and let each one thoroughly mix in? What brand red dye did you use?

[@SeriousCakes]

Awwww! lol, I know it, it's one of my all time favorite movies!

[@SeriousCakes]

The board under the top of the mushroom is just a regular cake board, bought from a craft store. If you look at the top of the mushroom you'll see that the heaviest part would be the middle where the cake is the highest, not the edges. The board is sturdy enough that the edges did not collapse.

[@Travelfun4ever]

This is so beautiful your friend and I have the same name lol....love all that you do a new fan

[@Adriannahleigh]

I was planning on making my daughter a princess castle cake for her birthday but after seeing this I have changed my mind ;)

[@kristinbender8503]

you are very talented and so hilarious!!! I really enjoyed this! hehe

[@SeriousCakes]

Thank you, I'm glad you liked it!! If you're interested, I have a new channel, Serious Cakes Plus :D

[@SeriousCakes]

One of my very favorite movies/books :D

[@JDruif]

Love your cake so much!

[@lydiachan5274]

aww, I think in the end it came out lovely!!

[@SeriousCakes]

Thank you! She loved it :D

[@bheavilloso93]

wow!!!!!!! your cake so wonderful great talent friend :)

[@SeriousCakes]

@nivia91 Oh man, I feel like we were on a merry go round, one week healthy, 2 weeks sick, 1 week healthy, 2 weeks sick. Everyone is much better now, looking forward to tomorrow! Happy New Year to you and your family!!

[@SeriousCakes]

I think I used cookie pop sticks for the dowels but it's a couple years so I'm not sure. Some people use thick straws and if I could find them they would be my first choice.

[@TomEfc96]

You Did Such An Awesome Job On This, Something To Be Truly Proud Of :D.

[@SeriousCakes]

@popze That's so cool!! I wish you the best success :D

[@plantemor]

I loved it everytime you made a mistake xD So cute

[@TheNaylababy]

Your cakes and frosting look so yummy and soft. Do you have your recipe for red velvet and the peanut butter butter cream?

[@mamadrama1109]

How did you stack the top on there? do you use dowels for support? My daughter wants a two story Lalaloopsy themed house cake for her birthday, have any tips for keeping the top from squishing the bottom or falling off? Should I use rice crispy for the top layer? Or is there a cake firm enough to work well with the help of dowels? Help please! Loved your video by the way! ~Laura~

[@CompulsiveOrigami]

This might be a stretch, but what do you think of the combination of red velvet and regular buttercream? I know usually it's with the cream cheese frosting, but I felt the small screaming need to be a little unconventional.

[@miizzmagdiizz1]

wow!!! I'm fantastic congratulations

[@JustCallMeMeghan]

Why oh why won't you share your wonderful creme cheese frosting? It looks so yummy!! Love the cake. It's beautiful as always! :)

[@beckyluvstoscrapnsew]

I usually refridgerate my cakes for an hour or so if I am going to carve into them,makes it much easier especially with a lovely light fluffy cake like yours........some of mine are so dense I don't need to worry....lol

[@crazypianolady]

So this is all just normal buttercream? Does it set hard and how long does it take to set? Thanks! (gorgeous beautiful design btw)

[@naylaleifson9022]

your cakes look really cute but do you know what I love even more? the look of the actual cake.. That chocolate and red velvet look so moist and fluffy I would eat any of those with no decoration at all.. where can we find the recipe?

[@ynaffitabmug]

She has videos of how to make them on her channel.

[@naylaleifson9022]

Thanks alot..

[@latitacatracha]

that was such a cute cake you inspired me to make my own wedding cake :D

[@Alijargo]

Awesome cake! Thanks for sharing!

[@miaruiz7002]

I love ti 😍 I love the video the cake it's so cute. You inspire me to make one for may daughter

[@SeriousCakes]

Mia Ruiz Thank you!

[@nayasgift]

nicely done, tried myself to add cake crumbs to a buttercream cake, wish I had your humour then and there, it deserted me, I was on my own, ended up doing extra thick crumb coat, determined to beat that next time though, thanks for sharing

[@SeriousCakes]

+Nayasgift Lol, it was only funny in hindsight, in the moment with the camera running I really wanted to pull out my hair!

[@Rainiers]

That was an incredibly beautiful cake! :) Do you ever get tired of eating cake?

[@SoniaSanchez-mr4yt]

Those thick straws are called bubble tea straws. I have found them in Asian food markets, really cheap. A package of 100 costs around $5 here in Texas.

[@sysw2046]

That is an awesome cake! You mentioned the cake can use sour cream. What is the recipe for that? How would you substitute other ingredients with sour cream?

[@giusell87]

i love your videos you always make me laugh with your comments :) your brilliant :)

[@SeriousCakes]

Any cake recipe would be fine, because it's the dowels that are doing all the work supporting. I think I used wooden dowels for this cake and they worked fine :)

[@karlb8946]

Very beautiful, love your work. Not sure if this would work with this cake, but I would try this if I would make a mushroom cake house. When icing the cake leave the top un iced so you can grab the cake bottom and top and roll the cake in a flat cookie sheet with lots of sugar in it. This way you get it on evenly and when you done that set it down where you want it and ice the top and sprinkle on the sugar. Hope this helps. :)

[@SeriousCakes]

+Karl B Thank you Suny, that's a good idea! I found your page on fb, following! :D

[@ZoeTowne]

PRIDE & PREJUDICE MUSIC YUSSS. favourite.

[@SeriousCakes]

You can use regular sugar, it just is a lot smaller than sanding sugar.

[@brwaldrop]

Adorable! I love it :)

[@sowhotfisak]

I love love LOVE the cake! The chocolate cake looks divine! Did you found the recipe or is it yours? Do you mind sharing it?! Thank you and Merry Christmas to you and your family! God bless :D

[@jeannegow2144]

[@SOYRA2222]

[@jylzuyus2898]

if you ever want to do that again , do it as soon as the icing goes on before it sets or you can do what i do , i get clear piping gel and do a thin thin coat of it and then do the sprinkles or nuts or anythign you want to cover the cake in , very cute cake

[@SeriousCakes]

+Jyl Zuyus I actually did do that as soon as I had frosted it, I wasn't quick enough though lol, peanut frosting crusts over super quick :D

[@ismiseanseo]

Hi again! The time is coming around now for my daughters party in two weeks. Do you know is it ok to bake and freeze the cakes in advance and if so how do i do that? do i need to decorate them before the fully defrost?

[@juliadaly6507]
