    Completely agree! A talent is only a talent until you hone it into a real skill with practice and hours and hours and years of hard work

      So true! I don’t do. Are decorating but I do Art 🖼️ , I have always been good at it but when I started practicing my Art became extremely BEAUTIFUL 🤩 so it’s always a little hobby until you practice and become way better😊

      Valid, but i also think some people are born with artistic abilities .kids are taught the same alphabets but some have prettier handwriting to begin with, or better drawing than their pales. Of course in order to better it ,one has to keep practicing and stay consistent.

    I love the physical representation of the two beautiful colors, so different, yet blending together to form an extraordinary whole, in reference to the combination of talent and practiced skill.

  • @watercolourartincapetown2919
    @watercolourartincapetown2919 Před 11 měsíci +4

    I think it’s the perseverance towards perfection 👌 sure you work at your craft but the reason you want to is because of your natural aptitude, enjoyment and the need to improve your skills that’s sort of what fuels you to work so hard at your craft 💜

  • @algrant5293
    @algrant5293 Před 11 měsíci +28

    I think cake decorating is an art form just like any other only it's temporary and probably appreciated in a way that something in a gallery never would be. 😋
    I hope you keep a record of all your creations because every time you cut into a cake it breaks my heart 😅
    Maybe there should be a Tigga Mac gallery? Framed cakes, statues of your best creations and a pile of crumbs in the corner with the label 'MODERN ART' 😂
    Absolutely have to have an ability and as you say practice, practice, practice.

    • @lunaballuna
      @lunaballuna Před 11 měsíci +3

      Its definitely natural talent with lots of practice and dedication. Even the worst artist, with enough practice, can become a natural or master at cake decorating 😊 also, she didnt scrape the top all the way straight and once you notice, you cant un-notice! Lol still an amazing cake decorator! Id hire her in a heartbeat if she lived in my area!

      @@lunaballuna I would love to order a cake from Tigga Mac but it would have to travel a hellofa long way to get here 😅

  • @AhhhTube

    Yes, I completely agree that it’s both!
    I’m an artist of all sorts of mediums (from clay to watercolor to embroidery & everything in between)
    And while I tend to be better at picking stuff up easily & fast,
    But I work hard to try all sorts of tips & tricks & techniques with every medium to master them!
    Believe it or not, I actually end up learning a lot of techniques that carry over into other mediums or at least give me new ideas to use other mediums in different ways (if that makes sense)

  • @Nameless_mixes
    @Nameless_mixes Před 11 měsíci +13

    Honestly, this applies to everything. Some people will be more naturally inclined to doing something. But everyone’s capable of picking it up, learning how to do it, and working hard to improve their skills at it. And the people who aren’t as naturally inclined can rise above the skill level of those that are if they work harder at it.
    It’s sort of like if you’re metaphorically running a marathon. The people who are more naturally inclined maybe started a mile ahead of you. But you both have so much distance to cover before you unlock your full potential (the finish line). And some people will either stop and stay where they are or completely drop out all together.

    • @tiggamac
      @tiggamac  Před 11 měsíci +7

  • @shannonforsberg4118
    @shannonforsberg4118 Před 11 měsíci

    I agree. I've always been good at math, science, and writing, but suck at anything artistic. I could probably learn the basics of cake decorating well enough to make a simple cake, because, like you said, it takes practice to get the techniques down. But I will never have an eye for design. My cakes would be boring af. This is one reason I like cake decorating channels like yours. It's fun to see someone who is creative make such beautiful things. I'm in constant awe that you can even imagine the designs you do, let alone actually make them.

  • @jacquisoliman1180
    @jacquisoliman1180 Před 11 měsíci

    I agree it's a bit of both. However in school I was hopeless at art! But I have loved baking since I was a little girl and somehow despite my engineering/research brain I manage to pull off some pretty good cakes! So despite my lack of artistic flair in school I have a natural flair for cake decorating.

    The skills can all be learned. The gift is being able to blend all the techniques into something beautiful. After watching your videos for a while, I could replicate what you do, but I'd be copying one of your previous designs. Like, that ombre technique I could probably do with some practice, but I'd only be able to maybe change the colors used. I don't know that I could come up with something new.
