all tips are useful thank you
Thank you so much for sharing these wonderful ideas
I just wanted you to know I used your a lot of your tips when making my grandson's birthday cake, I froze it after I baked it, and refroze after I decorated it. It tasted awesome. Thanks again.
4” larger than cake is a better bet for a cake board. 😊
Lol I needed this a long time ago. Many thanks 🙏
Queen how do you never blink
Any tips for any other frosting that is not buttercream, that frosting is way too sweet
I loved your video. I liked and subscribed. ❤❤
What size cake boards do you recommend keeping on hand? I usually use 25 cm (10"), but I’m wondering if 30 cm (12") is more practical. My turntable is about 24 cm (9.5"), if that makes a difference. Also, thank you so much for your videos This spring my granddaughter and I are learning cake decorating together, and we’re absolutely loving it & your videos, You’ve been such a lifesaver and a huge time-saver 💕
You have lived such an interesting life so far, Emily! Costa Rica, the UK, and Texas-- how amazing! And you are tremendously talented! Thank you for the wonderful content, and every success to you! 🥳
Question on freezing a fully decorated cake! How do you prevent the cake from "sweating" or getting condensation during the thawing process? Will dyed buttercream bleed? And when do you take off the cling wrap in the fridge during the thawing?
Thank you for this video! When you say you defreeze a decorated cake, I love that! But my question is, is this the cake that you also froze after baking and before frosting?
Someone should knit a cake design.
Super Super great hacks to try !you are such a great talent ! Much love ❤️

Icings in a cupcake tin is the best tip!!
