@julietteoscaralphanovember2223 Год назад

I freeze my cakes without icing so I can do all my baking in one day, the day before I need to decorate them, I put them in the fridge to defrost, but I find it easier to decorate a cold cake. Just my preference. I also use baking strips so my cakes don't dome. I get lazy and usually don't do a crumb coat but I'm trying it this week. I've always heard of people doing a crumb coat but I didn't really know why, but you explained it and it makes sense. Thank you for all your tips.

Hi lynz, I love your tutorials 💖 I'm just about to try my first cake , but can I ask a silly question , how do I get the cake off of the turntable & on to its drum ? 🤔😳

@ediths.q.3097 Год назад

I love your videos, thanks!. I always have problems applying the cream on top of the cream coat. It usually begins to peel off the cake. That happens both when cake is or not cold. What am I doing wrong?

@sallyhorler-lau93 Год назад

Hi Lynz, I always create a line, like a dent, when I smooth the buttercream. As soon as I stop smoothing with the smoother, I leave a line where I lift it off. What am I doing wrong? Any tips? Thanks for all the great tutorials!

@CakesbyLynz Год назад

Hi Sally, this can be so annoying can't it. You get it so smooth and then you have a line as you lift off. I've found that once I want to lift the scrapper off if I do it really slowly and tilt the smoother into the cake a little more this can really help minimise the line as you remove it. So instead of just pulling it off sort of drag it off with the side of the scraper close to the cake, if that makes sense (similar to when I mention about the angle of the scraper). I really hope this helps. Also the acrylic plates if you use these tends to stop this I've found.

@yacbdgurrll5566 Год назад

Omg great question. I have this same issue! I appreciate you both!! 🥰

@uzmasaleem900 Год назад

Please explain the techniques of cream cheese frosting on cake. Please.

@CakesbyLynz Год назад

Hi, the technique would be exactly the same. Cream cheese frosting in my experience does tend to be a little softer than American buttercream but I would smooth it out in exactly the same way before chilling it in the fridge.

@agashire9837 Год назад

Thanks so much for the awesome video! I am just wondering why you use American buttercream rather than Swiss meringue? Is American OK for covering cakes?

@karenfox5004 Год назад

I'm going to try those acrylic disks. I been watching your videos for a couple years now and you have helped me so much, thank you!

@CakesbyLynz Год назад

Hi Karen, I am so happy to hear the videos have helped you. The acrylic discs were a real game changer when I tried them for the first time. x

When the weather is hot, do you first set your buttercream in the fridge, before using?

How about the pro froster? have u use it, if yes, how was it?

Hi Kelly, I haven't actually used a pro froster before so I'm not sure personally, but I know a lot of people do use them.

@oliviabandur6773 Год назад

how would you store a buttercream cake with fondant decorations?

@CakesbyLynz Год назад

Hi Olivia, I usually try and keep cakes that have buttercream and fondant in a cool dry place inside a cake box. If it is really hot where you are you could add it into the fridge, but this may cause your fondant decorations to sweat when it's removed. Placing it inside the cake box inside the fridge can help a little, but you could also try adding your decorations onto the cake once it has been removed from the fridge to stop them sweating.

@suejessup8517 Год назад

Hi Lynz What type of knife do you use to cut your sponges in half?

@CakesbyLynz Год назад

Hi Sue, I always use just a serrated bread knife.
