When doing sheet cake do you not torte it and put butter cream in the middle,, your cake perfect as ever..its therapy watching you do everything 😊😊
@KarolynsKakes8 ай бұрын
Thank you Sharon! I have in the past, however I prefer not to. With larger cakes, it's a little challenging to handle the thinner layers and it's not always necessary! If I want more servings, I will do a 2 layer not torted 1/2 sheet cake and put icing in the middle. That will feed around 60 and will be about 4" tall.

some very helpful techniques in here thank you.....if u use whipped icing what kind of paper can u use to smooth it out?
@KarolynsKakes2 ай бұрын
This process works really well on American buttercream because it forms a crust, so the paper doesn't stick to it. I'm not sure this would work with whipped icing as it's not as stable as ABC.

Thank you so much for the tutorial. The cake was beautiful! Question, I have been decorating cakes for a hobby for around 13 years and I have sold some but I have decided to actually start a cake business. My question is, my husband says birthday cakes and smash cakes aren’t worth my time to do so I should only focus on wedding cakes because that’s where the money is. What are your thoughts on that?
@KarolynsKakes8 ай бұрын
I make most of my money from birthday cakes! Contrary to popular belief, wedding cakes don't cost more just because they are wedding cakes. I've made 3 tier birthday cakes to feed 50 that cost $800 and 3 tier wedding cakes to feed 50 that cost $500. The main factor in pricing (for me at least) is the detail in the design. Smash cakes are pretty simple and easy to make, so I wouldn't turn those down either.

Assuming you're baking in a 2" high pan and only making 1 layer: 1/4 - 1 batch 1/2 - 2 batches For full sheet cakes, I always put two half sheet cakes together, so I would need 4 batches for a full sheet. Hope that helps!

Thanks for all your videos. I don’t really work much with fondant just because I prefer the taste of buttercream but I still enjoy watching your videos and all of your creations. I wanted to ask is there a reason that, on this cake for instance, after you trace and cut out the name, why do you then arrange it by hand instead of tracing the name lightly onto the background color and then aligning it over your tracing? Would it show the tracing? I was just curious because I notice you always do it this way. Thanks for all your videos.

You're right! It's because the tracing will be slightly bigger than the letter and you'll be able to see it.

The metal heats up and bakes the cakes from the middle so the cake bakes more evenly. Without them, the edges bake faster than the center!
