How to Mask a Cake WITHOUT Doing a Crumb-Coat | skipping the crumb coat tutorial! 

So, you want to know what kind of videos that I want from you? MORE! lol! Doesn't matter, just more. All of your videos I have watched thus far (just found you recently) have been very helpful! You are easy to follow and understand. Earlier I watched the one where you did nine cakes in less than an hour and I loved it! No crazy music, no FF'ing...it was just a nice, easy-to-follow, calming video. I am 66yo and have a rare type of arthritis in my wrists and hands. I took up baking (used to bake) this last year to help keep my hands as limber as I can for as long as I can! This last weekend I made an Italian Cream Cake for my sister for her birthday. II suddenly remembered how much work that cake is, and boy is it a heavy cake! lol! Anyway, she loved it and it was a big hit at her party. I wish I had seen your videos before I made it, though. In my opinion, even WITH a crumb coat, the way you frost with LOTS of frosting, would be helpful. And thanks for the tip on how to tell just how thick you've applied frosting to the cake! That was one of my BIGGEST problems. Well, I could go on and on, but I will spare everyone! Thanks so much for taking the time to share your skill, technique, and talent with us still learning! God bless...

Thank you so much for this! I work at Walmart and we don't have time to crumb coat our cakes so I usually really struggle with not picking up crumbs

Awesome Video as usual, You are a Fantastic Cake Artist, You have a lot of skills and talent when it comes to making and decorating Yummy Cakes, You are a Fabulous Content Creator Alia. ❤️

I definitely will attempt this 😍 the only way I've gotten away without a crumb coat is by piping on a thick coat of buttercream but it really isn't efficient, this method seems so much better!!!

This is so helpful !! My first cake job I was crumb coating everything, but at my new job they don’t want me to crib coat and it’s been a bit of a learning curve. Your video and demonstration are super helpful !! I appreciate you !

0:20 love the what if in the background!!

i think it helps because your buttercream is so light and fluffy, if it's heavy and thick you definitely need the crumb coat. I just found your videos and I used to do cakes and I miss it. maybe i'll start up again.

Great video. I definitely will be trying this technique 💕

I loved the video! Very helpful...thank you!

What brand is your turntable? I love these videos so much…so relaxing and the cakes are gorgeous when youre done with them. Thank you for sharing these with us!

You are so pleasant and easy on the ears to listen to. I agree with you that American buttercream wins hands down.. thanks for a great video..

amazing work

Loving these tutorials!! Can you show us how to write on cakes?

You are a very skilled woman. Very clean work. I love your frosting. Could you share the recipe please. 😊❤ God bless.

I would love too see more like this

More of everything!!!

I love that someone is watching marvel what if on the laptop. Great advice though.

Can you tell me your ABC is so soft, what consistency should it be and will it still set up firm in the fridge?

Hi, i'm new to cake decorating and I've been watching many videos to enhanced my skills in that area. When you layer your cake, do you put simple syrup on your cakes to keep it moist?

Yep we ice like this by hand with the spatula or more often use a side icer, and it's done, no crumb coats. With the volume of cakes we do there's no time for crumb coating😅

Question you stuck your cake scraper in the buttercream to see how thick it was. How much on the cake scraper would you recommend the icing reaching to know it’s the right amount and not too much. Sometimes I end up putting too much buttercream and sometimes too little of thickness on the outside

This is a wonderful video on this technique. You are amazing. It’s hard to do this as an at-home baker because when using colored buttercream, you have to have so much extra of it to do this and I have way to much left over. If I’m doing white, it isn’t too bad because I can save it to use later. But doing colored buttercream limits me. I can see in a bakery though I can see that no matter how much pink you have, you will use it up.

“since the buttercream is thicker, you may have to scrape a little more” Nah I’m good! Mmm frosting!

How many cups of buttercream would you estimate you use? I typically make 4 cups of American buttercream but I can see why I have problems. Seems like I should double it?

What scraper are you using. Very nicely done ✅

All of the above. 😃 videos that is.

What type of material are the scalloped cake boards made out of? Where are they from? I love them!! Thanks for this video!

Hope to visit Happy Cakes some day … long way from central Mexico where I live!🧁

Regular buttercream definitely tastes better!! 😄

Do you get air bubbles using this method?

I don't have a refrigerator to crumb coat so whether I like it or not I have to learn how to cover my cake without crumb coating.

😍

Wow

I’m a beginner in covering cakes and most times I don’t know if it’s the icing or just me I get frustrated And I don’t know how to not apply pressure I just feel like I won’t be able to get it right

Why do u start at bottom with Swiss meraingue?

How much butter do you use for one cake? 1 block of butter from the grocery store has 454 grams. Do you think you are using 2 grocery store blocks? (I realize in a bakery you probably don't use grocery store blocks of butter)

Lol I never ever did a crumb coat….I always did the coating in one step…..if your buttercream is hard it will be kinda hard to do that , so the consistency has to be perfect to spread easily. Pastry chef and wedding cake decorator for 25 years here.👈

But but These cakes haven't had their sided trimmedd
