Another trick for loading bags is to put down a layer of cling wrap. Put the buttercream on the cling wrap and roll it up like a sausage. Put this into your piping bag. This works particularly well when you are loading multiple colors into the bag.

Very clear video! If you're finding shelf liners aren't "stay still" enough, use a piece of Dycem. This weird rubbery stuff is sold in rolls and is often used by OTs and PTs, but it works great for keeping basically anything in place without gluing or taping it down. It's nearly infinitely reusable, so one roll will last you years. I use it in my cake carrier to keep cakes and cupcakes still for transporting, under cutting boards, to keep cat food dishes from sliding on a slick floor... So many options!

The tutorial was awesome! The cake came out beautifully and the instruction were clear. I watched a few of your videos and I must say I am impressed with your cake and decorating skills.

that freezing cake fully decorated was really helpful

These hacks are amazing. But decorating cake with sprinkles are still one of my favorites and easy way. Meanwhile, quality and themed sprinkles are hard to find. Last month i bought sprinkles from fancy sprinkles, i loved their quality and taste. It made my cupcakes more delicious.

Cake strips. They've saved me endless fretting and I could give away my gadget for slicing the tops off. Cake strips are easy to make, too. Wet paper towels encased in foil, wrapped tight around the pans. Cake layers separate from the side of the pans and come out nice and flat, and without that browned layer on top. Lifesaver!

Have you done any side by side studies as to whether freezing the cake for up to a month affects the taste or consistency of the layers of the cake?

[mrsnitro]

Really enjoying your channel as a future baker. And first time I actually saw how decorated cake is going to the freezer. I should try this hack myself also. I couldn’t imagine how decorated cake is packed and putted to the freezer.
