I just have to say, KUDOS! THANK YOU! To all these professional people, regardless of what tutorial they present in sharing their experiences and know how to teach the rest of us so we, too, can learn their art. Lots of classes you have to pay for and some don't come cheap. These wonderful people are teaching for FREE!! They surely don't have to, but they do. So many THANKS to them. You are greatly appreciated!!!
It's so great when you talk us through your mistakes and helpful prevention tips. Thank you so much! With your instruction, I have hope of making this myself!
"..because I'm rather fussy..". love it! Truly appreciate your attention to detail in each of your videos. You're very easy to learn from and a joy to watch. thanks much!
Thank you soooo much... One of the BEST cake videos I've seen. I'm going to make my wedding cake with butter cream frosting; however, did not want a whole blob of sugar rosettes piped with frosting. You have solved my problem. The chocolate lace is beautiful and I can do this with edible roses. Thanks Again.
Not only are you very talented, but you are an excellent instructor! You have a pleasant voice to listen to. You keep things moving at a wonderful pace and throw in all those tips and tricks... fantastic job with this video in every way! Wonderful that you share with us all! I wish you wonderful and happy successes! Thank you for sharing yourself with all of us! And of course with magnanimous spirit of courtesy and politeness you answer all your fans! My deep and happy respect to you! I'm so happy I stumbled upon your video. I'm so glad I took the half hour to watch. You are book marked on my computer and subscribed to! Lovely job with the entire thing!
Julia, you are truly a master, and I thank you so much for sharing your talent with us! You are truly amazing. I am looking forward to attempting my first lace wrap now. With as old as this video is, and with as many comments as there are (which I do not have time to read through), I'm sure someone else has addressed this, but just in case - please wrap Press & Seal on edible flower stems or use posey picks. Stems should never be placed directly into cake, edible or otherwise. :) Sweetest regards!
Julia,I have been decorating for 20 yrs now,and have never done a lace wrap before. This was absolutely stunning. It really is a work of art. I love the way you teach,precise and to the point.I definately want to try it,and see how it comes out. thank you for a great tutorial!
Thank you for taking the time and effort to tutor us. This is a beautiful cake. I really enjoyed that you explained what you were doing and how. I've seen a lot of videos where they skip over details making it a bit harder to follow. You on the other hand really go into detail without being excessive. An example of this would be when you were dotting the white chocolate. You explained how it was being fussy, fixed it and explained how, explained how to correct minor problems, then moved on. Thanks again!
I very much admire your organisation and logically stepped process in tackling what looks like a very complicated and ornate decoration, to make it achievable! Thank you again, Juila, for your amazing instructional videos!
Simply Elegant Wooow You are a great teacher, thank you for sharing with us your beautiful talent, you always make it seem so simple and easy that I want to bake, decorate and eat all those yummy desserts you show us :0)
Love your videos, I have four kids and in my very few brakes I get I start baking. I paint and I try to implement my art skills into cakes. I love to make cake pops and cakes and cookies for my kids. My 4 and 3 year old daughters were watching your video and want me to try to dress up a cake I baked. They look amazing, too pretty to eat afterwards. I used cheap chocolate morsels and it set up on me, I realized you had the chocolate names listed on the video description. So I ordered the right chocolate today. Thanks for sharing your amazing skills for us to learn.
Yes, I agree. My husband was trying to encourage me to keep piping it with the already set morsels but I knew they were too thick clogging my tip constantly. I had to look back and then realized you mentioned the name of chocolate you used.
oh my goodness beautiful cake I whould love to be able to do that I'm hoping maybe you or friends might be interested in paintings I do painting I will show you in a week or two
Absolutely stunning!! You have a natural gift of teaching simply, that even a novice like myself feels confident enough to give this lace wrap a try. I just discovered your site and am already addicted. Thank you for all the time, and planning that you and your team spend to make these awesome videos.
This is fabulous as well as your other ones. You are so pleasant to watch and listen to. You point out what to do if a problem arises ... A few things you pointed out, that were not to your liking, shows us that anyone can mess up and that is ok...you just fix it and keep trying. Thanks for sharing.
I'm going to attempt to make this for my Mom's Birthday coming up Aug. 28, 2014 she would have turned 78....My sister's and I get together to celebrate Her Life every year on her Birthday. Thank you Julia for sharing your gift with us!!!!
Oh my goodness. You make everything so simple. I've been watching your videos all morning and I feel like, even as a beginner I can accomplish most of your decorating techniques. I have a few that are my favorite and I can not wait to try out. Thanks so much for making these videos!
Hi there Julia! :) I just wanted to say that your work is absolutely beautiful! But besides that, I love the way you teach. I feel like I'm sitting in your kitchen with you while we chat and you show me how to create beautiful decorations. Your videos don't have the dry, formal feel that so many instructional videos have. I LOVE that! :) Thanks so much for your videos, and comfortable teaching style. I've never had the confidence to try anything so fancy, (it's always been so intimidating!) but after watching just a few of your lessons, I think I'm ready to try a doily. :D :D Have a fantastic day.
This is absolutely gorgeous...you are very talented both in decorating and teaching how to do it...can't wait to try it...waiting for more videos showing your beautiful cakes
Hi julia, I live in Brazil and we are delighted with his work! try to make this cake at my wedding will happen now in August. I'll train it up! CONGRATULATIONS! wonderful job!
I tried your lace wrapped cake and it turned out fantastic. I had a couple small breaks in the chocolate, but I covered them with fondant roses. Everyone loved this cake, so thank you so much for your video. You are awesome!
I'd just like to take a moment and say that, that is a beautiful cake. I appreciate that you took the time to show how you did the detail. As well as you walked us through everything as you were doing it. I am not up to "lace cakes' quite yet lol but will definitely be trying this once I'm ready. Keep up the good work.
I tried this using the crisscross lace...you make it look so easy and your lines are so straight! I was just practicing and haven't put it on a cake yet can't wait to try it!
Julia, thank you very much for all your videos. You teach very well and make everything look very do-able. Appreciate all the time you've taken to make these demo's and plan to start learning some of the stuff i've already seen, of yours.
I recently found your tutorials and am totally inspired to try so many of them...I love how you make it so simple for even us beginners to follow and give confidence to us, showing that even a seasoned pro can make little errors. The fact that when something doesnt quite go right you dont cut it from the video but allow us to see how you correct it...that is awesome teaching! I'm totally hooked...tried finding your cookie books but our bookstores are all out :( Cant wait to see the next video! thanks
Amazing ... No doubt this is one of the most beautiful and elegant cakes I've ever seen ... their friendliness is also contagious ... Congratulations for the beautiful work you did. A big hug from Brazil. Excuse me if there are spelling errors, because I don't speak English very well ...
Just exquisite and absolutely immaculate. Thank you SO much for sharing your techniques and for being so thorough. It's nice to hear all the tips and reasoning and method behind all of it. I am definitely going to practice this on my boyfriend's belated birthday cake - what a gorgeous way to sneak in a little Callebaut!
Julia, I watched your chocolate doily video several months ago and was so impressed! I tried it soon thereafter. You make it look so easy!! Thank you for this lovely chocolate cake wrap video. I'm so excited to give it a go. -Tracie
Julia you are so talented! I loved watching your video and step by step instructions and tips...Hope to learn more and more from you. Thankyou so much!
thank you so much for such beautiful work and detail video. What a wonderful way to decorate the cake! l finally get the courage to attempt the chocolate lace last weekend. It turned out great! Thank you!
You are just a wealth of knowledge. Thank you for your time!!!!! I am so excited to try this tomorrow! I also like how you show us your mistakes, and what you would do to address them.
I try to address mistakes if I make them when shooting, but I don't always, so I don't always have the opportunity to explain them. Since I pay a crew a lot to shoot and edit these videos, I try to capture the key steps of how to make things correctly first. If there's time, I can make mistakes and address them - but there usually isn't much. But I'll consider devoting more videos or parts of them to explaining mistakes.
I work in a bakery in England...it's not at all fancy, it's a mass production of buns and muffins that people buy every day on their way to work. And as I work nightshifts, it sometimes happens that I can't sleep properly during the day...and I watch videos like yours and I am very grateful and I would like to thank you so much for reminding me that baking and decorating can be beautiful and creative work. I only wish I had an opportunity to do something as nice as you do and call it my job. Thank you for giving me hope and motivation.
Just gorgeous Julia. I love the vintage, lacey feel you get with this method. It made evan a grocery store cake look quite elegant. Thank you for sharing this.
My sister and I watched this video and the chocolate doilies video, and we were THRILLED. Your work is so beautiful that we just sat in awe. (I don't think we even talked but to say, "Isn't that awesome?!")
thank you sooo much Julia. I'm just about to start my Pastry Academy and you were so inspiring! You work with passion and love; looking at you working can just make me say "I wanna be like her one day!"
Absolutely amazing! That's one of the most beautiful cakes I've ever seen. I will never do this but watched the whole thing because it really is fascinating how she made that lace and got it on the cake. Really beautiful.
thank you so much. This is really helpful. I am still new at baking and hoping to bake my mom a presentable cake for mother's day. You are a big big help.
Thank you for your very instructive and detailed tutorial Julia. I love this look and can't wait for a chance to do a whole wedding cake similar to it. You are very talented.
Thank you so much. I really enjoyed your tutoring. Your background items and decorations are lovely too. It is such a pleasure to watch. You are awesome.
Hi,I just came across your videos and i am hooked.you have really taken the time and effort to make detailed videos.It is very helpful and inspiring for pastry chefs like me.love them.i am going to make this lace wrap ASAP.thanks once again
Thank you SO much for sharing your skills on RU-vid!! I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos and have learned all sorts of techniques that can be applied to re-creating some of your projects or integrading with my own designs. They are truly amazing (and my friends are impressed with what I am able to present to them for their birthdays and special occasions)
This is GENIUS! I just made my first fondant covered cake last week to rave reviews so have been checking out other videos and came across yours. This lace wrapped cake is going to be my next endeavor. Can't wait! Thanks.
Hermosos tus trabajos, después de tanto buscar recién descubro tu canal...lo traduzco con el traductor de Google para poder aprender ésta técnica. Felicitaciones
Wow! You make it look so easy LOL. I'd need a few weeks in intensive care after attempting this :) Thank you so much for sharing - I'll be sure to try this one day when I'm feeling sufficiently creative.
Julia, you´re my master, thank you very much! I made mine and it look gorgeous!!!! at the top I made some roses with modeling chocolate and I used the same colors as yours, it fit perfectly!! I´m gonna study all videos of yours. So pitty that I can´t send you the picture of my cake. God bless you.
Hello Julia! I continue to learn so much from your tutorials! You have been so good about responding to questions as I try your various techniques, which I truly appreciate. I have another question: do you have tips for cutting when it's time to serve the lace wrapped cake? Thanks again!
Thank you. I am definitely not intimidated now after watching you. Going to flip over to your doilie vid. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge. I believe that is why God gave us each a talent -- to share!
