When doing the crumb coat, don't scrape your cake comb off on your bowl of icing or you'll end up contaminating your icing with crumbs!

These are really so helpful, I've learned a lot from all your videos! Thanks so much and will also be looking into taking some courses from your online classes, Emily!! 😊🙏🏽🇨🇦

This was a very helpful video. When watching other's videos, their editing is misleading and you are left with the impression that they get those beautiful smooth sides with one or two passes.

Thank you so much for this tip! I’m 12, and I love baking, my problem is that I never do a crumb coat because I want to see the final product as soon as I frost it. 😬

Thank you for making this very helpful video. I just started getting into making cakes I want to make my daughter’s first birthday cake in November, so I practice every time I Huey a change and so far this has been the most helpful video I’ve watched, and helped me spot several mistakes I’ve made. I’ll keep practicing with all I’ve learned in this video. Thanks again!

Can I just take a moment to say that your application of frosting that is there to be smoothed is so beautifully done that I would be happy to have even that as my decorated cake. I mean, that's the messy part and its gorgeous lol. Thank you for these tips, I've been cooking professionally for almost 20 years and never get tired of learning new info. Thank you!
