  • I can't believe it, but I've never shared a detailed tutorial on how to stack, fill, crumb coat, and frost a cake!! This in-depth video shows exactly how to decorate and frost a cake, from start to finish.
    It's great for any new bakers out there, or anyone who is just starting to make layered cakes. I share what cake boards I use, how keep your cake layers from sliding around, how to crumb coat (or dirty ice) a cake, and of course how to get smooth sides for a beautiful finished look.
    This cake is made with these recipes:
    - My Vanilla Layer Cake Recipe: chelsweets.com/2016/09/05/bes...
    - My American Buttercream: chelsweets.com/2016/11/01/the...
    Tools used to frost this cake:
    - Large Offset Spatula: amzn.to/2NKbwOf
    - Bench Scraper: amzn.to/2L1CHFH
    If you want a more detail tutorial showing exactly how I get smooth sides on my cake, I recommend watching this: • How to Smooth Frosting...
    You can learn more about making cake layers in advance and freezing them here: chelsweets.com/2018/10/28/how...

    This video has just TOTALLY EMPOWERED me. My cakes are about to go to the next level. I'm a beginning baker and this is the EXACT knowlegde I needed to give my cakes that PROFESSIONAL look I want them to have.
    I'm the designated baker in my family and eveyone loves my cakes. The only thing missing is that professional, clean, sharp look. I can't wait for the holidays to surprise everybody with my newly acquired decorating skills. Thanx SOOOO MUCH for this demo. It has really removed all the mystery and complications from the decorating process. This is my GO TO video if ever I need a refresher. MAN....I'm so excited !!! :-)

    I am hopefully starting a cake/cupcake decorating position in a few days and I have been watching all these piping techniques but not how to get a smooth overall frosting. I had been watching decorating videos for years and all tips are appreciated as most people, especially when doing a super fancy cake skip this or just do it quickly. I cannot wait to try out all the tools, piping tips, using colors etc.

    This is helpful, thanks. I recently got my first cake order, (normally I stick to things like soft pretzels and cookies), and when I made it it didn't look the best. Thankfully the person who had ordered was someone I know and understood why it didn't look the best and was fine with it as it wasn't for a huge party or anything (like 4 people), but I still need to get my cakes looking better. The crumb coat was something I didn't know to do. I'm probably going to experiment with some cakes soon to get them looking better, but this is really helpful!
