Part 3: Perfectly Ice a Cake 🍰✨

Tools you’ll need (linked in my bio under the “shop” section): medium offset spatula, bench knife, and cake turntable 

The frosting I’m using today is Swiss meringue buttercream which is silky smooth and perfect for piping intricate decorations! 🌸 KEY POINTS
✨ Make sure your icing doesn’t have large air bubbles (mix on low setting for at least 5 minutes before using)
✨ Start with a crumb coat to seal in crumbs (don’t add the extra crumby frosting back to the clean frosting!). ✨ Chill the cake for 15 mins between coats, no more because condensation will prevent the final coat from adhering properly.
✨ Always work from the top of the cake, to the sides, then clean the lip at the end 
✨ Use a bench knife at a 90° angle to get that sleek, professional finish Do you want to learn different cake decorating techniques next? 🧁 If you want to elevate your baking skills from amateur to pro, then follow me for more real pastry education! 👩🏻‍🍳 #cakedecorating #cakeartist #homebaking #pastrychef #cakeart

Here is the best way to… Make perfect swril on the cake👇🏻 ✨ Begin with a smooth base, ensuring the frosting is even across the cake. ✨ Using a small offset spatula or spoon, begin your swirl at the outer edge of the cake. Rotate the cake turntable slowly as you move the tool inward in a steady circular motion toward the center. ✨ Keep light, consistent pressure to create an even, professional-looking swirl.

Here are some of the best tips for beginner cake decorating! Cake layers: I prefer mine refrigerated, lots of bakers prefer frozen. Do what works best for you! I like to bake mine and then when they are fresh out of the oven, I wrap them in plastic wrap and place in fridge or freezer (depending on when I am decorating) to cool until ready to frost! Crumb coating: crumb coating your cake is important in cake decorating. A layer of frosting helps to lock in the cake crumbs and gives you a blank canvas for your final decorating process. Cake Scrapers: find one that works for you! The one I use was $8 on Amazon. It’s light weight and tall enough to cover the entirety of my cake to make sure it’s an even layer of frosting. Storage: I store all my client cakes in the fridge until pickup. I do not freeze completed cakes. The chance of condensation is too high. #cakedecoration #beginnertips #baker

🍰 Here are a few of my favorite tips when working with cakes: -After baking, let the cakes cool IN the cake pan for about 20 minutes. -Trim off any rounded tops -Set on a cake board to keep level -Cut in half while room temp -Place parchment paper in between layers so they don’t stick together. -Put in FREEZER for at least 3-5 hours. I usually bake a lot at night, and freeze overnight. And if you are wondering, the freezer does not dry out your cake. It actually does the exact opposite. It will lock in the moisture, and help your cakes stability. Once thawed, it will be as moist and tender as it was after taking it out of the oven. 🍰 #theblondewhobakes #cakes #cake #cakedecorating #baking #dessert #cakesofinstagram #food #foodie #yum #yummy #caketips #kitchenhacks #howto #caketricks #cakedesign #instagood #instagram #instafood #instadaily #cakeoftheday
