So you've iced your cake.... Check out this video for the more info on which piping tips you need to really make your cakes stand out from the crowd: czcams.com/video/dr0D-pQnvEY/video.html!
I've just heard about this method & will be trying it today! I love your video because it gives exactly all the instructions I need without droning on with useless chit-chat. Thank you!
A couple tricks to try....use plastic coated freezer paper rather than parchment...it releases much more cleanly when peeled off, and try to reach around your turntable and take hold so that you can make ONE COMPLETE TURN without stopping...stopping and starting leaves marks in the icing...this way you will only have the mark where you end your turn...that becomes the cake's back!
These are all great tips Jeff. Thanks for sharing!
What a relief to know I don't have to use acrylic disk just to get a perfect round cake!
Thank you finally a video with this method that does not require the acrylic method. Thank you so much. Will be saving this one.
OMG why have I not used this method before, baking today so gonna give this a try, thanks so much for the fab video, no boring chat, no messing about just straight into it with very clear instructions, think I've just found my new you tube star, I'm just starting out so again thanks
Best of luck on your cake! Thanks for the kind words and for watching. 💕
Astonished! Thank you!!
I had to come back and say thank you! This vid was my first success at the upside down method. I used ABC but the technique was the same! Many thanks!!
I'm so glad that this worked for you! Thank you for watching!
woow thank you, i needed this
Thanks for watching! 💕
This is my third video today and I’ve subscribed. Most definitely going to test this out this week! Super excited now!
Wow… thanks for checking out my videos and subbing to my channel! 💕 I think you’ll find many more super helpful videos on my channel page. 👍🏽
Just beautiful content. Keep up the good work. Its giving me some much more confidence. I can do this.
Yes you can! I believe in you!!! Thanks for watching! 💕
Great video. Im going to try this method soon. I've never tried swiss meringue. Do you have any tutorials on how to make it?
very helpful. thanks!
Thanks for the feedback, Matilda!
Brilliant! x
Thanks for watching! 💕
Hi there, thanks for posting this tutorial. I am going to try it out today. What is the last step, after you flipped it back right side up and smoothed the top? Looked like perhaps you warmed your scraper with hot water and went over the sides one more time?
Perfect perfect
Eureka! What a concept! Have been struggling with this the issue for as long as I can remember. I tried a few other techniques I've found on CZcams but this cinches it for me. Will with sour cream frosting? Thanks a million!
Hi David! I iced this cake with Swiss Meringue buttercream. I'm glad that you enjoyed the video!
Where is that scraper from? That you used to smooth the buttercream?
Hello, what’s the name of the large spatula you’re using?
Wow!!!! This is amazing! Such talent! How much butter cream did you actually use on this cake? I think I haven’t been using enough
Lovely.. Thank you so much.. can this method also be done with whipped cream to get sharp edges and a flat top... pls do a video with whipped cream frosting for sharp edges. Thanks in advance
Whipped cream is quite soft, so I doubt that this method will work due to the weight of the cake layers. Icing a cake with whipped cream frosting is best accomplished using a right side up method. I'll add your idea to my list of upcoming videos. Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for the help... will be eagerly waiting for that video. God bless
Thanks for the video. what kind of paper did you use?
Parchment paper was used on the bottom (top) of the cake. Thanks for watching!
Wow
I am a beginner your videos are very helpful Need your suggestions which cream do i use for decorating as i m Texas dont want the icing to melt down.
I would highly recommend ganache! Check out this video because I explain why near the end: czcams.com/video/a3SL4RP2MF0/video.html. I also have a white chocolate ganache video as well! Thanks for watching!
@@AsiaCoffee Thank you also wn i bake a cake n freeze how long they are good for consumption before decorating it
When do we add cake dowels?
For a single tier cake with 3 cake layers or less, you don’t really need dowels. If you’re stacking multiple tiers, the dowels/straws would go in after the cake is frosted/iced. I go into more detail in this video: czcams.com/video/tvOR60Bdfpc/video.htmlsi=W8ZP6J6B_1IHf6Zq. Thanks for watching! 💕
@@AsiaCoffee thank you
Please do a vid with white chocolate ganache.. can we do it same way??
Yes, you can use this method with ganache! If you haven't already checked it out, I show how to make and color white chocolate ganache in this video:czcams.com/video/wgHKI9qVoiU/video.html. Thanks for watching!
How did you store it in the freezer for 30 min?
I would recommend placing it in the refrigerator instead for those 30 minutes. I take the cake and entire turntable and sit it on a shelf inside the refrigerator for that time. Thanks for watching!
So I noticed that you didn't use a crumb coat🤔 Is it not necessarily needed when doing this method? Great video by the way!!!
Correct! You can do this with or without a crumb coat. The crumb coat will give you better coverage, but it's not mandatory (especially if you're running low on icing). I'm glad that you're enjoying the videos!
Mrs.CoffeesCakes thanks one more question lol Do you have to stay within that little circle that you drew when applying the icing?
It doesn't need to be exact. You can go (and should go) outside of the circle up to about 1/2 inch. When you use the straight edge to smooth the sides to your cake board, it will all even out and create crisp sides!
Thank you so much!!!
What cream have u used here?
This is Swiss meringue Buttercream: czcams.com/video/FJvavE9phVY/video.html. There’s no actual cream in it. 😉 Thanks for watching!
@@AsiaCoffee thanks to u for giving such an excellent nd helpful video😘😘😘
Will standard buttercream work also?
Yes it does.
+Jenny O (jennysboxofchocolates) Thanks for your reply Jenny O! To piggyback on her comment: yes, this will work with American style buttercream (recipe with powdered sugar). You'll want to make sure the consistency of this buttercream is thin/loose (not runny) and smooth for best results. Good luck!
i would love to see how to icing a upside down cake with royal icing because all i am see is with butter cream
Hi Sophia! You don't want to ice your cake with royal icing unless you're attempting to cover a styrofoam dummy cake for a competition. Royal icing dries super hard and you would have a hard time cutting/eating a cake iced with it. Buttercream, fondant, ganache and modeling chocolate (in panels) are recommended to ice your cake. I hope this helps!
No answer on the scrapers you used?
Hi there! The scrapper that I used was a large metal spackling knife from the hardware store. It's fine to use non-cake decorating tools like this HOWEVER 1) Make sure to clean and sanitize such tools before use and 2) Use these tools for cake decorating only! I will upload an updated video of this technique using American-style buttercream in the next few weeks. Please subscribe so you don't miss it! Thanks for watching! 😉
Wow! Great idea. It looks like it’s a lot easier to use and more efficient. Thanks!
Method 5/5
Levelling cake 1/5
Disappointingly unoriginal choice of music nicked from other online cake decorators videos 0/5
guttersnipe I use iMovie to produce my videos and the music choices are very limited. I've noticed other videos of various topics using the same tracks. Thanks for sharing your opinion.
