[Vanessaphengs]

I took my cake out the oven 10 minutes ago and started to watch this video. The way I from the living room to the kitchen to take the cake out of the pan to cool 😅

Hello!
I am 11 years old and I love baking. Every time I made a cake none of the recipes ever told me to put a crumb coat. After I watched this I made one today with a crumb coat and to simply put it....



It. Was. Amazing.
Thank you so much!
You got yourself a new sub ☺️

I agree with all but one..the first one..if you properly flour your cake pans or spray them with baking spray you won't have an issue removing your cakes, you can also use parchment to line your baking pan for easy removal. Letting your cakes cool in the pans allows for less moisture to escape and your cake to dry out.
Your other suggestions are very helpful....

I did many of these mistakes if not all when I made my bf’s cake last month! My cake definitely fell apart lol now I know why 😩😂

[Adrianota]

I always leave my cake in the pan and never had a problem removing them from the pan... I've been selling cakes for 3 years now. But I have good quality pans.

I must admit, I didn't level my cake layers before frosting them and also the icing, though delicious, became too runny because of too much lemon juice. I didn't know there was something called a leveler. I must get one before my next attempt at frosting! Thanks for the useful tips!!!

[davidmyers-wakeman]

I used to do that "long horizontal" frosting mess 😂 I felt so seen

[raylmeagan]

Not leveling my cakes & cooling the in the pan. That tool makes leveling look so easy! I was nervous I would take too much cake off.

[elisebarnett]

[jeremythompson]

I found your tips quite valuable as well as simple and practical! Thank you!

I love how Aisa literally likes every comment you’re so sweet and a lot of creators don’t communicate with there fans as much as you do.


I’m 11 yrs old and I’ve always loved baking I’ve just started selling my cakes to my neighbors and sometimes my sponge cakes don’t work (I usually make chocolate biscuit cake) so I’m definitely going to try out these tips the next time I make sponge cake thank you so much

[cherylshank-johnson]

I skipped leveling some of the layers. Used the cake that was taken off to fill in the sides making a different dimension to the finished cake. Making a unique design once cut. Worked out. I like your leveling tip. thanks. Putting your fresh out of the oven cake into the freezer ( wrap with Seran wrap) keeps the moisture of the cake in the cake . I encourage leveling first. Also cold cake is easier to ice without needing to crumb coat. Thanks. Cheryl

me watching this before decorating while my cakes are cooling in the pans o_o

[anemicsupersonic]

Imma bout to find out lol, making my own birthday cake for the first time lol

[sweetingsbytcl]

Love these tips. My mistake is letting the cake cool in the pan.

[annettetolson]

I learned my lessons and take good advice from other bakers, I've made at least 4 of these mistakes. Your video was very informative.

[my_dads_fav_daughter]

I will admit I don’t level my cakes, although I just ordered a cuter thing, I’m 11 years old but I love baking and I do get some orders, my most recent order i got was a total failure I ran out of skewers and the cake fell in the fridge and made a huge mess😅, this video was so helpful 💖

[RubyGxoxo]

glad I watched this! I was literally about to make every single mistake I just saw 😱 Thanks for the very helpful video 👍🏼
