So over quarantine I have learned to slice every fruit, chop every vegetable, crack every nut, cut every fish,mix every drink, prepare every coffee, open every shellfish, use every Japanese knife, shape every pasta and now I'm making cakes
Edit: I know also know how to cut cheese
Yet another edit: I have the power of butchering birds now
Yet another edit: 2021 might ve been bad, but atleast I learned to shape every bread, eat every insect, and I learned how to grind some spicy spices 😎
4th edit: I've obtained the mastery of using utensils, slicing meat, and making sushi.
Try figuring out how to cut/ eat cheeses! That could add to your little collection
You haven't learned anything until you start doing it.

Wow ok

Oh no.
Lol
Bill telling me that it's no problem to make mistakes, that I can just do it again and that these techniques are super easy and that everyone can do them... he's the Bob Ross of baking, isn't he?
Gay voice Bob Ross maybe, but certainly not Bob Ross.
He really didn't explain the writing on a cake very well. You need to apply pressure and release pressure at the right moments to get your letters to STICK to the cake surface
@@artdecotimes2942 i've heard gayer
@@recoveringsoul755 There's no problem with him making that mistake. He can always do better next time. :) I honestly thought the video was very helpful, but that's just me.
Listen to 21:08 to 21:20 with your eyes closed lmao
This guy has such a soothing voice and his cakes do seem to have a 'grandma' feel to them. He's got a calming presence. Not quite Bob Ross but something along those lines.
I wish I had a passion like he does. Something I could teach others and enjoy.
He is so gentle i like how he is explaining it

Frost a cake?! Shouldn’t I learn how to bake one first?
True
For sure!!!
Yes

Yes well there really only in one way to do that, this it would not work for this series
My diabetic self: “Interesting…”
I was thinking the same thing
Use Sugar free baking sweetener like i do for my birthday look online doe to flour you can't have it all the time but occasionally and without hurting yourself
@@silviaomo15 do you know how different texture wise it is? Cause I feel like this makes the difference with some decor types.
@@biazacha its a difficult question because the problem is if you are using double cream it will be fine but things like butter cream might be different the must important thing is to try it out and adjust to the brand and type of sweetener you have.
Try canderel they have and icing sugar alternatives that is meant to be 1 to 1 and performe the same.
My preference is dobles cream with mascrepone to stabilize it.
If you mean the cake itself that is dependent on recipe and adjustments depending on preference but it can be very very similar .

Best part of this vid? NO FONDANT! No rice krispie sculptures. Total chef's kiss!
Frank is still picking his fruit in his dreams
No he is still waiting for his own hand made universe to cool down after the big bang
No, he is waiting for his soil to be the perfect pH level.
Frank probably looking at this going
My thinking is beyond your intelligence
When things were at their very worst:
2 Suns, Cross in the sky, 2 comets will collide = don`t be afraid - repent, accept Lord`s Hand of Mercy.
The first sign - the Earth will spin faster.
The second sign concerns the sun, which will loom larger, brighter and begin to spin.
Scientists will say it was a global illusion.
Beaware - Jesus will never walk in flesh again.
After WW3 - rise of the “ man of peace“ from the East = Antichrist - the most powerful, popular, charismatic and influential leader of all time. Many miracles will be attributed to him. He will imitate Jesus in every conceivable way.
Don`t trust „pope“ Francis = the False Prophet
- will seem to rise from the dead
- will unite all Christian Churches and all Religions as one.
One World Religion = the seat of the Antichrist.
Benedict XVI is the last true pope - will be accused of a crime of which he is totally innocent.
- banking collapse was deliberately masterminded by the Antichrist
- Antichrist will step in and create a false peace in the state of Israel by joining them with palestine in an unlikely alliance.
- „He will recite extracts from My Teachings, which he will passionately proclaim from every secular stage in the world, until people sit up and take notice of him.“

Who is Frank?
My Surgery professor: Tell me the instruments used in cortical mastoidectomy. *Can't answer that.

As a medstud i really relate to this 😂
The secret ingredient is enjoyment
i get this
The most relatable comment
Haha
As a kid in my moms account, I really wanna know how to frost a cake. After watching this, this made me wanna work as a baker when I grow up.
Me too and I'm 50
I love how he explains that it’s okay to make mistakes and how to fix it huhu best 💖

These videos will be useful when i start living alone

@@youareveryannoying9179 why do you reply with k to every comment on this video
This was both amusing and ominous
Present and on time to get my satisfaction from watching cake frosting.
Me with my square and rectangle cakes: mmm. interesting.
It's incredible how much work you put into this tutorial and, as a mom who wants to wow the children on their birthdays, I truly thank you!
Me: sees the Thumbnail

That one braincell:NO WE NEED TO LEARN THIS INFO
This is me now
Wow.
... Wait I just watched this video again and that gorgeous guy is actually teaching us how to frost cakes.
This is a really, really great video. More from this guy, please. More technique vids.
Thesis or Mastering Frosting a Cake? I was doing a thesis and now I'm watching how to frost a cake.
Ok
Bill looks so sweaty and concerned all throughout this
"cakes should look delicious first before anything else", cakes should taste good before looking delicious
yep! i said the same thing out loud when he said that. the cake needs to taste good otherwise whats the point
Would you taste a cake that looks bad?
@@jorgeguzmanm99 if it still looks edible
@@jorgeguzmanm99 yeah, food is meant to be eaten not just put on a shelf
@@jorgeguzmanm99 if it tastes good and looks edible then yeah
It looks so good. Thank you for your technique!
“My cake decorating style tends to lead towards the grandma” haha that should’ve been ✅ grandma style haha. I work in restaurant as cook, but I found this very intriguing. I don’t do desserts at all (baking, etc) so this is a new found entertainment for me.
I love how you demonstrate the process of frosting the cake. You're very articulate and it's so easy to understand your instructions. Thank you. Great video!
Another vid to watch when I can't sleep, thank you
K
Good job sir, well presented and explained techniques and great subtle deadpan humour (A Brit's appreciation), glad I found this channel for the first time. Didn't think I was a bad baker but I'll have to watch the other video's as I've still got a lot to learn on decorating.
I like that his cakes have a classic rustic Americana charm to them and aren't boring viral instagram cakes that have that perfect plastic looking frosting. These feel more personal.
Everything he says is an innuendo to me 😂
Heheh same thoughts.
Oh no now I can't unhear it 😭
Today is actually my birthday -- thanks Epicurious
Happy belated birthday!
HAVE SOME CAKE!!!! 😄
I can't decorate to save my life, but I feel like I might have a fighting chance thanks to this video!
Method mastery is my favourite series! Keep ‘em coming please!
Thanks so much I'm a baker but love learning techniques. I want to advance in my skills and this video was very helpful.
Love you grandma! Great video for a inspiring baker 🎂😂👩🏽🍳

"theres never too much sugar in a cake"
-A wise man
A diabetic man, as well I imagine
@@thatgrumpychick4928 if you eat lots of sugar that doesn’t mean that you will get diabetes right away. And eating lots of sugar is not the only way to get diabetes. Learn your facts and then comment…
@@mimozzzcom2866 they didn't say any of these things, relax
Thank you! thank you! thank you! I was just hired as a cake decorator and I let them no I have little to no experience. And this video is helping me so much!! I appreciate you sharing your techniques! ❤
Thank you for sharing. I find this video easy to follow, and I love the way you are guiding the viewer with such ease and poise, working on building confidence in the viewer, unlike other videos I have seen. I feel more confident now to try out these practical examples you have demonstrated. Thank you!
I'm on my lunch break watching this video. I'm a cake decorator at a grocery store😐
I wish you had included how to crumb coat! Mine always end up with too many crumbs.
Of course, I will attempt some of these techniques at home. Thanks for sharing! ❤️❤️❤️
I love how laid back this video and this baker is
This guy reminds me of Billy Eichner, but really chill
Love it! Not gonna try I'm one those who just live for aesthetics 😍😍
Such simple designs. I hope I can use these soon. Thanks so much for the great ideas. God bless you.
Thanks 🙏🏻 For sharing your technique of different types of iceing in simple way with subtitles as i am from India 🇮🇳
This video abruptly sent me back to my cake boss phase
Ahhh yes another 30 minute video that I watch at 1am about things I probably won’t use and if I were to ever need to use, I will forget
I love how chill this guy is
Wow, I actually watched every second of this and I don't even bake. lol Hope we get more from Bill!
whos going to eat all those cakes??
I volunteer as tribute
me!!
Who's not gonna eat all those cakes!
I doubt they are actual cakes, probably Styrofoam with a crumb coat. Otherwise it's a massive waste of food.
@@dangermittens2321 even if they were real, how can you be so confident that it would be a waste? Some of the 8 million people in NYC could be interested. I'm CERTAIN they wouldn't just throw it all out
Love these your "how to every" program. Can't wait for more!!!
Thank you so much for the super helpful, clear, and really well edited overview of the basics. Very helpful!
Love this video, you make this look so easy, you explained and demonstrated the techniques very well.
Frank be like so I start by raising my cows for the milk then I raise my chickens for the eggs any you get that nice and rich flavor
Dont forget to grow your own sugar cane or raise your own honey bees for that natural sweetness
Crap I forgot 😂😂
@@ThiccBleachh don't forget to check the atoms to get a SUPER rich flavor
Funny
I learned everything except the one part I have trouble with- the crumb coat layer.
I can’t count the number of times I’ve watched entire swathes of frosting peel off a cake, or worse, the cake fall to pieces as I try to ice it!
Feel you…
Frost it when ia room temperature
I place my cake into the freezer for just a bit before I crumb coat.
And I thin some of my buttercream just a little with milk or cream so that it spreads easily with a light touch. Then I pop the cake into the refrigerator until I’m ready to frost it.
The cake has to be totally.cooled beforehand or else it will be prone to falling apart.
Agreed! I wish they could have added this at the beginning.
The little trumpet sound is always the best thing in these videos
That was probably the easiest thing I've ever learned.
THANK YOU!
The video hasthe perfect timing cause today is my birthday
happy belated!! :D
Keep expecting him to suddenly shout about how delicious it is like Craig from Parks and Recreation.
Who knew cakes could look so simple yet so ethereal
The swooshes and peaks technique is a good way of trying to make the cake look rough or even a little bit course, to me it actually looks like a low key version of Wood-log cakes, you know the ones that are intentionally rough for the wanted wood-like texture and it's also a good way to practice on how you would control the specific style of your cake. (and a good way to practice on the way you would control your spatula either offset or the smaller one)
More videos like this😍
I’ve never been this early ✋🏾😭 I feel accomplished

Chef has the perspective I want to have, he's perfect.
Really enjoyed watching the video. Learning a few new ways to decorate cakes. Thanks
he gets to eat the cakes at the end
im jealous

Do all KitchenAid Artesian stand mixers wobble like that?? When he added the cream cheese I thought it was going to come apart.
No, it shouldent break. Those mixers are tough cookies.
Mine definitely does. I think it's normal.
So detailed and informative! Thank you! 🍰
The first one to watch the whole video untill the end
Im not mature enough to hear "just the tip" as many times as i did. Every time i heard it my inner michael scott aggressively bit my lip.
This was so enjoyable to watch. I learned so much from you, love your style!
Loved this video! So informative! Thank you 💛😊

Oof
He doesnt look like it 😐

@Cait Cat ok so everyone replying to this is just blind, got it.
@@iijason1245 No, I agree with you. I’m seeing so many comments saying “oh he’s so passionate and soothing” and all I see is him annoyed that he was asked to film this. He’s so flat and unenthusiastic.
I’m finally early! 9 minutes ago.
Thank you sir ! Really appreciate you sharing your talent
I love his chill vibe, it's like he is saying "hey if you f**k it up, either way you have cake"
Hey you! Yes, you. Get some sleep
STAP IT NO! HOW DID YOU KNOW!😂
Ha ha me too. 11:10 and have to work tomorrow.
I hope my mom talks like that while we bake at our bakery. She keeps on yelling at me whenever I do piping techniques then goes wrong
Every baker should watch this.
