  • Boxed cake mix does NOT have to be boring. This boxed cake mix was a little bit more expensive than your average boxed cake mix, but the flavour was so delicious! In today's video I show you how to amp it up with fondant details and the recommended (as per the box's instructions) American buttercream.

    A lot of my subscribers requested this type of video-they’re super fun to make. These videos are for those that don’t necessarily like to bake, but love to decorate. I also just think it’s cool to think you can turn a box of cake mix into something fun!

    Hi, I'm from South Africa. I use vannila cake mix and I boil my milk with rooibos tea( a South African tea) to make a rooibos flavored cake. The cake pairs nicely with a lemon buttercream.

    I only work with American buttercream because it's just easier for me. It's a part of my contract. It took me a year to memorize my perfect ABC and I just don't have it in me to learn about entirely new method when what I do is good and great and most of my clients don't have a real preference anyway. And, added bonus, it smoothes out so well and crusts so beautifully and quickly, which I you mention in the beginning ❤️

    Hi Ashley!! I wanted to put in a request. I’ve noticed that most of the cakes I’ve ever seen in your channel, even when they’re more simplistic, they’re still girly. They always have a flower, or maybe some luster dust, maybe some pearls etc. I’m looking for an inspiration on how to decorate a cake for my boyfriend’s birthday coming up. Could you feature a more “guy friendly” cake? Thank you!!!!

    And proud of you are Canadian
    1. Now I have few questions if it ok for you to reply me 😊
    Why customer think oh this is box cake (though I put extra ingredients to make more as scratch cake taste) and you are charging higher though a lot of fondant,butter cream decorations that they don’t think only box cake so in this situation shall I say them box cake ? Waiting for your reply
    2. Have you stopped home baking and doing CZcams channel then what do you do with these such beautiful cakes you make for us for showing videos 😊 how do you sale

      The pricing is in Canadian dollars; not sure how much difference that makes though! I would say it’s pretty standard here to have a cake with not much decoration start at $300.00 for a 3 tiered cake.

      As I mentioned above, I think she is trying to show that you can purchase a boxed mix and turn it into a beautiful cake with your own skills and supplies. Then you don't have to go to a professional baker and pay the big bucks. Pretty smart of her, don't you think? :o) Instead of people getting snarky, they should be thanking her for the free lessons. lol
