Hi jackie

[@creepycutiecrafty6637]

Already ordered! I'm looking forward to trying it out next week!

[@serenasturdivant6538]

Omgurd I love this ! I was a cake decorator and absolutely loved it. Hopefully soon I'll find a job I can do so I can buy this. Fingers crossed.🤞

[@cyanjackson7689]

Is the coloring kit limited edition? I'm asking for it on my bday gift list 🥰 and worried about it selling out 😅

[@maizakanwal1659]

third one

[@saneminotaur]

I would love to see Jackie design her own series of mystery box toys; she'd knock it out of the park! She would make them logical, cohesive, and satisfying

[@shontellehackett-vanderkro7908]

Would love this! Especially something like the mini resin mystery kits

[@colleenanderson6552]

I agree

[@SkittleSquid26]

I think she would nail it better then the branded ones!

[@saneminotaur]

1000%. She could use her sculptures as inspiration, that would work well as resin kits ♡

[@natashamills5965]

I would love to see that

[@chasestudio2736]

As an ex- cake decorator, I love these! It’s a lot easier to smooth a cake when it has some weight to it, adding even pressure to the sides as you spin, so this was an extra challenge. Even after months of training i was still the slowest one… so this ain’t easy 😅

[@dominiquehebert4903]

When I decorated cakes at a grocery store we had a comb sort of thing for the sides that was the height of the cake which looked really nice and you didn't spend as much time trying to get "flat" looking icing. My favourite "icing" though was the cakes we did in whipped cream, had none of the resistance actual icing does

[@recoveringsoul755]

As a home decorator who took classes, we had the turntable that spins around. So you put the cake on that, centered, and spin it around while holding your offset spatula still and you get nice flat smooth sides. And there's all kinds of texture patterns, and if you really want to put in some time, you can make the sides look like a basket weave pattern. They really need little tips, a star tip minimum.

[@MikuruChan123]

Literally why I hate chiffon cakes. No weight to them xD

[@Sarahc-mn1tr]

I did basic cake decorating in my early 20s. It was hard to do. Now my hands are weak and my carpal tunnel would make it so much harder. Kudos to the professionals.

[@askthefrog]

The last one was gorgeous! Also, anyone else kinda invested in Jackie's Kitty editor? All of the editing is on point and very well made. And there's a lot of it! And the kitty that pops up when Jackie needs assistance with something always cracks me up 😊❤

[@ShellyS2060]

I laughed way too much at the " cute kitty calculator "

[@Lady_Devilman]

As a cake decorator by profesion, your beginner tequic was somewhat accurate towards the end. Myself as well as my trainees all had to learn how to base-iced cakes before we could learn how to decorate. And we had to do this every day for 3 weeks to master it. And my first experience was doing this on ice-cream cakes, so I had to be quick and fast so the ice-cream wouldn't melt. I don't recommend this when you are starting out. 😅

[@trishhamilton2049]

You could benefit from a Grammar class. Your sentence structure is outrageous and hard to read.

[@whitneybauswell2032]

I’ve never decorated a cake but I would take that as a compliment and I thought Jackie did good for I assume knowing nothing about decorating (or I think she said she didn’t but anywho)

[@lexxismason242]

I been trying to apply for a cake decorator position with no luck even as an apprentice.

[@Jasmine-wn9ek]

Wow they really started you decorating on hard mode

[@Cattailss]

Damn. I'm going to make a cake for my brothers birthday and i wanted to make it an icecream cake. It will be like my 2nd or 3rd cake I ever make by myself and I didn't even think of of the icecream melting...

[@paranoiarpincess]

I actually love that the example is a mess. It's supposed to be directed toward kids, but unlike most marketing and packaging for things like it, it looks like it was actually made by a beginner. Most kids aren't professional cake decorators, so I thinj it's great that they're showing kids and beginners what to expect and not giving up their hopes by showing something (like other products do) that not only is too difficult for beginners, it's often full on photoshopped and not even possible in the real world at all. And, if the customer happens to be good at this particular craft, the beginner level examples inspire them to do a good job and it helps them get excited to begin, which they hope will turn into excitement to get more.

[@abel8807]

I know you like your kits to be scented, but honestly as someone with both astma and perfume allergies I'm always happy to see less artificial scents going around. Yeah it can ad a lot of fun, but it can also prevent a lot of people from using the product.

[@sunnymeowcat]

Also maybe if the frosting smells kids might wanna eat it more

[@magicsquid3020]

I think it would be cool if they had the same exact kits but with both scented and unscented versions :)

Lol, I love saying your trademark phrases along with you, Jackie, and nodding along with you when you toss some packaging behind you and we hear the broken glass sound. 😂 Sometimes my twisted mind slides into the gutter, but I can always count on you to catch it! LOL ❤

[@andrealowe3044]

I'm the exact same way! I always nod and say the same things... Even though I get weird looks from whoever I'm with including my husband and kids... 🤣😂🤣😂

[@lampekartoffel]

The Unda-da-sea one turned out so well! It looks gorgeous, Jackie!

[@Sabi-qe6wp]

Am I the only one that would love a collab with a cake KZbinr? I’d like watching Jackie learn to decorate cakes. :)

[@elissacousland44]

When decorating cakes, use all the frosting. Like, over frost it. You want to get it covered in a thick layer. Then you'll want to use something that is as tall as the layer of cake and slide that along to remove the uneven bits. The idea is that there's enough frosting on the cake that you won't reveal the cake part itself, even when removing a good bit of frosting. Experience: manager of a grocery store bakery that used to decorate cakes.

[@terracedflame4702]

As someone who started watching for Jackie's resin creations, I love Jackie's era of discovering mystery box craft kits!

[@nataliegray8019]

Cake decorating tips for those curious: #1. An offset spatula and turntable are your best friends. #2. Mound all the frosting on top of the cake first, then push it out and down to do the sides. It's always easier to scrape away the excess than it is to patch thin spots. #3. Every time your spatula leaves the cake, it's important to scrape the excess frosting off it before smoothing the cake again. Also, it helps to have a glass of warm water on hand to dip your spatula in every now and again, as it gets you a super smooth frosting job. Just dry it off with a paper towel after each dip. #4. Drizzles can be coaxed where you want them with a toothpick or wooden skewer. Put your topping all over the top or pipe it along the top edge (depending how much you want), then gently push it over the lip. Drizzles are best formed when allowed to fall naturally down the side of the cake. #5. 90% of cake decorating is learning how to cover up your mistakes. Did you gouge the side accidentally with your piping tip? Might be a good spot to add a flower or swirl. Get a little too carried away with smoothing the top and now it's too thin/uneven? Throw a few sprinkles on there. And #6. Cake decorating is only hard if you make it hard. Just have fun with it, and don't worry if it's not exactly perfect. At the end of the day, you've got a cake to eat. That's all that matters. 👍✌️❤

[@am_maarah4080]

Thank yoouu❤🎉

[@sapphicsolace3605]

I agree with #6. I only make what I will lovingly refer to as 'chaos cakes'. They are chaotic, messy, uneven, patchy and fall apart easily... but they're wonderful because I made them. I'm no expert at baking, cooking is my forte, but I'll still put all I can into making a cake, for the sake of having fun

[@kendrak6184]

Gah!! Under da sea is most definitely my fave!!! It was already my favorite when you put the pink & blue frosting on the top and started to spread it.. and then you put the seahorse on there and it got better… and the end result ❤ perfection. Definitely my favorite!!!

[@nehamaw]

😂 Her getting the one she didn't want each time was too funny.

[@Alexiahna]

The god's of evermore are forever trolling her. 😂

[@creepycutiecrafty6637]

I love watching the chaotic creation Jackie does! Weird kit - i wonder if any professional cake decorators have tried it out... 🤔 I definitely wanna try it! I'm not sure about the colour schemes they picked for the frostings - they're sorta headache coloured! 🤣 I'm guessing the frosting cracks as it shrinks, but the plastic base doesn't shrink along with it. Maybe they'll do a second series that works better ..? 🤞🤞

[@michellecalleja5174]

I think sometimes Jackie forgets these are meant for kids and they don't care if it's perfect, they just want to have fun.

[@nataencina]

But it shouldn't be meant just for kids, everyone can have fun with crafting toys. And it says 5+ not "childs only"

[@ThatBetchEllie]

​@@nataencina no clearly anyone can use them but the target audience is kids so that's who they aim to please

[@nataencina]

@@ThatBetchEllie the audience is 5+ people, they don't say just kids. And even if it was for kids, who says they don't care if it's perfect or not? You can't talk for all kids xD

[@lazyhomebody1356]

Well, just because kids are used to second-rate stuff, it still sucks that people take advantage of them. "If a job is worth doing it's worth doing well" but I guess not if you're trying to make $$$

[@fanime1]

Nah, when I was a kid, I did care about making things perfect. I kept my dolls in mint condition and put them back in their boxes after I was done playing. I tried my hardest to color between the lines. And I was upset I didn't have the skills to draw a portrait of my mother for mother's day. Some kids do very much care about making things perfect. I'm not sure how much, but they exist.

[@kerriproper5843]

The “Under the sea” crafting cake looks amazing with the added colors from the other two crafting cakes, totally adorable/cute great job Jackie 😻🥰😻

[@loreannlegends]

I think Jackie may have overworked the first cake which caused all that cracking. Since she said it was starting to dry and she made it a bit in the thin side.. most likely if you work quick and thick it'll look like the other two beauties she did.

[@annawilliams4545]

Jackie, you did an amazing job. I have been a cake decorator for over 10 years and you did an awesome job! The design on the side you did actually has a name. It's very popular and though you were looking for a smooth look that design looks very beautiful. It's call spackle look. Much love. Please continue to make videos. Absolutely love your work ❤

[@queenandcorgis]

Was a cake decorator for almost 8 years, as a beginner you did an excellent job. If you want smooth edges, start by icing the top then the sides. Also recommend instead of the spatula it came with, use a piece of cardstock or cardboard.

[@Jussy833]

Magicorn Glitter is definitely my fave!! 😍💖🦄✨

[@megan5867]

I really like that they showed it all janky looking. It makes me feel better when mine also looks janky. I prefer that to a photoshopped perfect end product that will just never happen.

[@prenticeclark1454]

As an avid home baker I have decorated many cakes, and this video is a very accurate depiction of the challenges of working with buttercream. It takes a lot of practice to get it to look smooth and even (and Jackie’s instinct to use a turntable while holding a straight edge on the side is the correct technique). I love the idea of this kit as a means of inspiring kids to take up baking as a hobby - it will give them a chance to get used to working with frosting (and maybe vent all their frustrations early, long before they have to worry about messing up their daughter’s birthday cake on the day of the party 😱)

[@eeshapopat4067]

[@RivLoveshine]

I just want to say this to brighten your day, Jackie. I have been watching your videos for years. I remember back when your videos were small little clay and resin crafts. That's how I discovered your channel. Not long after you stsrted testing craft kits. For probably 5 years now your channel has been one of (if not my top) favorite channels on KZbin. I always look forward to your videos. Even as you've changed content a little bit I've still loved it all the same. I hope you have a good rest of your week!

[@melindam6020]

I agree.. The marble cake looks fantastic !!!

[@LDR.-.]

Yay!! I am so excited for this video!! Have a great day everyone

[@LadyRosehash]

You too!

[@onecatshortofcrazy12]

For someone that’s not a professional decorator you did fine! I’m thinking if you don’t like the toppers you get you could probably use air dried clay to make whatever pieces you want!

[@rosacanisalba]

And this is why my Mum always made snow scene Christmas cakes - the more uneven, the more lifelike! As a chef and home baker I never commit to a smooth cake unless it's using fondant I can roll out.

[@sailorbrite]

When I was little, my mom decorated cakes. You know, I think it would be less expensive and more fun to just decorate a real cake with real frosting. 😂 She gave me mini scrap cakes to decorate (if she had to level the top of a cake for example) or would let me help her smooth the frosting or pipe it when I got older. It’s fairly easy to fix a small piping error. 😊 Thanks for the nice memories Jackie! 😂

[@dragonmakr2159]

Proof that practice makes perfect - or at least better! The third "cake" looks so nice, Jackie! It's always fun to watch you work. Looking forward to the next project!

[@purranoid]

Mixing the colours! Genius!!!

[@Leena79]

The increasing panic and the "Oh, sugarsnaps!" made me giggle. 😂 The cakes really got better each "round". The first one was allover the place, colourwise, and the popsicle kind of irritated me. The second one I liked much more, and didn't even mind the panda, but I think both the style and your decorating skills reached their peak moment with the third one. This is a fun kit, but I think i would be fairly easy to make something similar with wall spackle, food dyes, craft glue, beads and such, you could maybe decorate round recycled plastic containers. The decorations looked like craft foam, which is both pretty cheap and easy to cut into all kinds of shapes. But if you want to do this with as little mess as possible, this is probably an okay choice.

[@brianahawkins8124]

Love the under the sea cake.

[@notespeller2x]

when she figures out to take the excess frosting off the knife, I couldn't be more proud!

[@crystlepressley1470]

I worked helping my aunt with her cake business. And I think you did awesome for your first try. I'd love to see you do one with your own decorations. Or if you did a foam cake.

[@LottelinA]

[@marthavarner3961]

Was watching this at the ER and couldn't type cause IV but am ok now and can tell you that Paper towels pressed lighting against the icing make for a very smooth cake.

[@vannahgrace3]

To make your own drizzle- take a silicone sheet/ use a hot glue gun- make a thin circle and separately make drizzle squigglies! Paint the drizzle with a mix of markers and mode podge liquid glue to give a transparent look- peel them off the silicone- add the circular shape to the top frosted area- and the squiggles around the perimeter-or vertically 😊adult to uncollected and toy crafter to crafter 😉! Help from ur teeny tiny grain 😊

[@rebeccawells7494]

I think they had an assortment of foam pieces so anyone can decorate to the theme they want. Seems like holidays, so peppermint if you want a Christmas theme, hearts for valentines, beans for Easter, etc

[@kaseydick6206]

Hey Jackie, I'm a newish member to the channel, and if you were to do more of these in the future and you want to get better at "frosting/icing" the cakes. I recommend a baking youtuber, Rosanna Pansino. She'll walk you through the process.

[@zaraheart]

[@calvinrollins2237]

I think my fave was under the sea 🌊

[@ameliaspencer5733]

yumyums are my favourite. 😊 pastries

[@barbarasmith2693]

Jackie! Use a credit card or a stiff piece of cardboard held still and vertical along the side of the cake as you spin the "cake" itself. It'll smooth it from top to base without a seam.

[@Drummerchef13]

Im still in the beginning, but to get it smooth, have excess on the cake, then with very gentle almost no pressure, go around. Cleaning off your tool as you go. Crisp corners on top same principle, pull from the edges to the center with barely any pressure and a clean tool every time. For a square cake edges go from one side then the other. I was taught with an offset spatula but ive seen people use paint putty knives (never used for paint obviously) also never touch the bare cake without frosting but when smoothing you want a clean tool

[@midnitebaszsoulcarbetta]

This video was SO FUN to watch!! I love baking AND crafting so this was so so so so much fun to watch. I might look for these. Also....CHEEEEEESECAAAAAAAAAAKE is my favorite pastry. That counts right? lol

[@honeyhandy1914]

Icing tip from a german confectioner: the triangular plastic things, that you use in geometry class are great. You just put one edge on the plate and you get a perfect straight edge on your cake.

[@Maguire708Julie]

[@lampekartoffel]
