Striped Ganache Drip Stitch Cake Tutorial | How To | Cherry School

[@corrinnewright7296]

I love how you are showing so much about ganache and what can be done with it. I think the cake is amazing! Your model making is out of this world!! I also love your honesty of the parts you weren’t feeling. You made those stripes look so easy to do. Thank you for continually giving great tips on how to do new things. 🎂💕💕

[@Cherrycakeco]

Thank you!! Yes I'm still playing with the white ganache to see what it can do! More practise needed on the stripes though, the thicker they got, the more huffing and scraping I did hhahaa.

[@corrinnewright7296]

Little Cherry Cake least it’s was only huffing, I’d be swearing like a trooper! 😂😂😂

[@suzannessweetkitchen6266]

I think it turned out great! Thanks for sharing!

[@Cherrycakeco]

Aww thanks!

[@Helenaki81]

It's nice to know that the professionals make mistakes too! 😅 (Love the tutorial and the cake as always..💜)

[@Cherrycakeco]

hahaha always! Thank you!

Lovely bright colourful cake. I bet Abbi loved it. Why are we so critical of our own work? If I make a mistake early on, that’s all I can focus on until that cake is handed over to the client. They love it and it takes me all my time and biting my tongue to not say ‘I had a nightmare with blah blah!!’ 😂😂 It’s soul destroying, yet it happens every time. Good tip about going easy on the stencilling. Wondered why that happens. Still to do a ganache cake. I’ve only used it as a coating under sugar paste or as a filling. A good option for those who don’t like icing or buttercream. ❤️🍒 xxx

[@Cherrycakeco]

HAHAHHA I am the same. Yes I've only started recently using it as an outer coating, because everyone seems to love chocolate! And it's fab the white one can be coloured, I'm still playing with it to see what can be done. I've only ever seen these stripes in buttercream so wanted to give the ganache a go!

[@AmericanBaker]

I think that drip is perfect. Looks gorgeous. And mistakes are made for the backs of cakes. Thank you for sharing. ❤

[@natemr4482]

Hello Michelle 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Cherrycakeco]

hahha I am so glad I didn't have TWO drip mistakes, I would have had nowhere to hide them! haha x

[@alisonratcliffe4345]

That's a lovely cake and your daughter looks so pleased with it x😍

[@Cherrycakeco]

Aww thank you! x

[@jennypetrakis8934]

Love the cake. Your too harsh on yourself , your a perfectionist🤗

[@Cherrycakeco]

Awww thank you!! ha ha I am a perfectionist, it annoys me that the stripes aren't uniformed hahaha

[@mandybishop3626]

Omg thanks for keeping it normal. We all had the one cake that’s driven us mad lol 😂 xx

[@Cherrycakeco]

ha ha yes and its always the one you think will be the simplest...LOL

[@helenevans2861]

I’d love to be able to make a cake like your mistake one!!! Amazing as always xx

[@Cherrycakeco]

ha ha thank you!

[@Sn00pyGRL]

Love how your "bad" cake, still looks perfect! 😍

[@rhondabrown4456]

I love that you left in the mistakes and mishaps! I makes us girls feel like our struggles are normal! 🤪🥰🤣😂

[@Cherrycakeco]

ha ha yes totally normal! It's always the cakes that you think will be pretty simple too that end up going wrong! lol

[@melodypetry-johnson2309]

I am going to make this out of clay for my son!!! I love it

[@Cherrycakeco]

Yay fab idea!!!! x

[@beckyb7422]

🤣 I love how you go 'heres what not to do' and we're all sitting here like.... 😍 That cakes beautiful!! Even when you think you've messed up you nail it 🤣 xx

[@Cherrycakeco]

Mwahaha that drip though.....I just watch it back going...how?! Sideways? really? LOL

[@alisonscurr4395]

It turned out great. Apart from the mishap with the piping bag, none of us would have noticed the other things if you hadn't of pointed them out. Would you recommend letting the first set of strips firm up before adding the second colour if not in a rush like you were? Stitch looks amazing. Thank you for another great tutorial.

[@imccraw]

Agreed!

[@Cherrycakeco]

Awww thank you! Yes the blue ganache I added, that had started to firm up as I was making the purple ganache, and putting it into my piping bag. You could even go one further and pop it in the fridge for 5 minutes just to really firm it up too. :D x

[@ann-mariey5971]

Came out Beautifully even with the mishaps 🎂🎂🥰❤️ Happy Birthday Abbey!

[@Cherrycakeco]

Awww thank you!

[@maureenwallace8251]

Thank you for showing us that not all of the cakes we make will be perfect!!!! We are all human, after all!

[@Cherrycakeco]

We sure are! xx

[@sweettoppingsbysimone5685]

Your Abbi looks rather pleased with her birthday cake. Well done mummy...xxx

[@Cherrycakeco]

Thank you!!

[@umsaleh2415]

Love the cake and thank you for the tutorial❤️

[@Cherrycakeco]

Thank you!

[@maazsiham2714]

Wow, after watching ur tutorial I believe making a striped cake with ganache is easier than buttercream. Wanna give it a try!! Thank u so much, Tracy 😍😘❤️❤️

[@Cherrycakeco]

Aww that's great! Good luck with it xx

[@petapeterson5943]

Love it. Very cute

[@Cherrycakeco]

Thank you! 😊

[@darlaalcock184]

Happy birthday Abbi, cake was great..x

[@Cherrycakeco]

Thank you!

[@lorrainehicks9172]

Knowing you make mistakes makes me feel better about myself you seem to always be able to do that and I love your description of your cut-outs like the potato peeler my potato peeler doesn't look like that it looks like my 24 year old daughter LOL thank you for sharing and making my life better keep on caking

[@Cherrycakeco]

MWAHAHHA I love your potato peeler!

[@parispeacock7747]

Rushed or not for a little girl Abbi's age this is a dream cake and stitch looks fab. Not many kids get cakes like this!! They are lucky to have a mum who does what u do. Lots of awesome cake memories. I'd be always flapping around u for the off cuts is I was ur kid Haha xx

[@Cherrycakeco]

hahaha I think they are all caked out! So many cut-offs LOL x

[@helstan]

Looks great and thank you for reminding us mere mortals (😂) even the best make mistakes too. We cant always get everything right. Phew!

[@Cherrycakeco]

haha I too am a mere mortal, I think I have forgotten how to cake HAHAHA

[@sarahmiles7688]

Looks pretty spot on to me!!! I’m definitely not brave enough to attempt horizontal stripes on a cake, I struggle with the ProFroster as it is 😂🤣 Stitch was so cute, and “the client” was chuffed to bits with the whole cake.....especially as she didn’t have to til after her bday 😝 Thanks as always for sharing Tracey, #cherrybrigade 🍒

[@Cherrycakeco]

ha ha the ProFroster just takes a little practise! I fear the stripes will take a bit longer for me to master lol Thanks Sarah! x

[@byronchandler5000]

That is such a wonderful cake, Tracey. In the Japanese version of Lilo & Stitch, Stitch is voiced by Koichi Yamadera, who also dubbed over Bert from Mary Poppins, Donald Duck, Beast from Beauty and the Beast, Genie from Aladdin, and Mushu from Mulan.

[@Cherrycakeco]

Thanks! I bet that gets confusing hearing the same voice for all those characters! lol

[@natemr4482]

The ganache striped cake looks really good you made a nice birthday cake for Abbi 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@Cherrycakeco]

Thanks! x

[@marjanyd2234]

Hbd abbie🤩🤩🤩 topper is perfect 👍👍👍

[@Cherrycakeco]

Thank you!

[@dijones2441]

Loved this video Tracey...it’s good to know that even experienced cake decorators get I wrong .I will keep that in mind the next time mine go wrong 😂...Even though, it’s a beautiful cake and I’m sure Abbi would have loved it ...oh by the by I didn’t know you could colour ganache 😲...game changer 👍😘💐

[@Cherrycakeco]

Thank you! ha ha yes it certainly went wrong on this one! Check out the COD tutorial, and panda cake tutorial - those are both coloured ganache too! x

[@raukuracave4714]

Wish my mistakes looked that good lol I noticed the width of the stripes in the vlog n was shocked when I saw the teeth on your scraper I thought how the hell did she get that varying pattern lol and ur saying it was a mistake 🤣🤣🤣 I thought it was on purpose and loved it hahahahaha as for that piping bag I felt that in my soul. One of the most frustrating things when working on cakes lol. Anyway loved it!

[@Cherrycakeco]

MWAHAHAHHA yes, it was a total mistake. I love that you thought I was that clever! haha That piping bag! What...sideways!!! Not much can be done to fix it either so round the back it goes LOL x

[@raukuracave4714]

@@Cherrycakeco yes those little things that help us determine where the back is!

Do u freeze cake in between white , blue purple ganache ??

[@kani9691]

Amazing❤️ Can u please make a video how to make fondant ?

[@Cherrycakeco]

Thanks! Sorry I buy all my fondant, I would probably be rubbish at making my own haha x

[@virginieletertre8989]

It looks perfect to me. Stitch is soo cut and abby seems sooo happy. Question you are using much less sugarpaste in your cakes because you have no wedding cakes order but isn' t you paste statch going to be expired? I got 3 cakes to do in september and renshaw paste i bought last year expired few month ago because i did get much orders. Expired in december 19 and june this year and is hard as a rick even in unopened packaged can i try to use it or toss it in the garbage???

[@Cherrycakeco]

Awww thank you! No I don't tend to over-buy my sugarpaste, I get it in 2.5kg packets and buy only 6-8 packets at a time. I've still been using my sugarpaste (Trolls cake, pie cake, caterpillar cake, giraffe cake, and a recent spiderman cake, so I've managed to use up quite a bit!) I have one packet left now but that's good until Jan 2021. If yours has gone hard I wouldn't attempt using it to cover a cake, some of the inner/middle softer parts might be ok for a bit of mould work or very small detail on models. xxx

[@oanatermanini9673]

Do you put the cake in the fridge to cool before applying the second colour of your stripes or apply straight away ? And if you let it cool, how long for ?

[@Cherrycakeco]

As its done with ganache it can set at room temp, but you can put it in the fridge to speed up the process :D Allowing it to firm up will keep your stripes a bit cleaner :D x

[@oanatermanini9673]

Little Cherry Cake Thank you. I made stripes with buttercream before but to be honest I don’t like buttercream. I want to switch to using ganache to decorate so your video was super helpful

[@swamisamartha7709]

How to make ganashe for frosting (ratio)??

[@amandareed5885]

So no icing? I cant find your ganches receipt is

[@christinegriffiths936]

You had more luck with your white ganache,mine seperated and went watery ☹️ x

[@fluffypenguinbabe]

I had a nightmare with white ganache at the weekend and am still not entirely sure why. I've had people tell me they always make it in the microwave, or always put the choc and cream over a double boiler and it is "foolproof". Well I tried both methods and both went wrong. Genuinely worried about trying it again now!

[@Cherrycakeco]

I've never seen it go watery....but I have seen it go oily!!! If its separated and got a layer of oil on the outer rim of the bowl you just need to slowly add more cream whilst whipping it....it will come back together!! Check out my white ganache video :D x

[@christinegriffiths936]

@@Cherrycakeco yeah mine went oily ,it was like curds and whey lol,I never knew you could bring it back ,I wasted so.much chocolate 😢

[@spaghetti996]

I got myself a profroster using your link in one of the videos. Couldn't wait for it to arrive and - got deeply disappointed with it (( Its quality is superb, and it's 100% original but... it's too high for my cakes! In my bakery the most popular height of the cakes is about 2.5 inches. Profroster is obviously designed for cakes that are much higher, and its bottom part doesn't allow me to get it closer to shorter cakes((

[@Cherrycakeco]

Yes my profroster goes as low as 7cm, that's quite a shallow cake! You can raise the cake up higher though so it meets the scraper. If you pop your cake on a board that's the same size as it (Like I have done in my ganache tutorials), place this on an upturned bowl/more cake drums it will raise the cake so you can also scrape the top :D x
