Welcome to my Cake Decorating 101 series! I will be breaking down the basics of cake decorating for beginners, because I truly believe that making a beautiful cake is something everyone can do with enough practice. Part 1 of this series goes over how to stack, fill, and crumb coat your cakes. This is the essential first step of all cakes to be decorated. Part 2 is How to Get a Smooth Buttercream Finish with Sharp Edges. I share all my tips for getting that absolutely perfect final swipe of buttercream, with crispy sharp corners on top to give you the most clean blank canvas to start decorating. I also share some tips on the ideal buttercream consistencies for decorating. https://youtu.be/qieAtpJiAmA Part 3 is How to Level up Your Cakes with Fillings! I share my fruit filling recipe, my chocolate ganache recipe, and a few other special fillings I like to add to my cakes. https://youtu.be/dCKyIWNC-ug Part 4 is Drip Cakes! I go over 6 different kinds of drip cakes, using 5 different materials. I will share all of my tips so that you can achieve perfect drips! Using chocolate ganache, white chocolate ganache, pre-made drips, Biscoff spread, and another all-new ingredient :) https://youtu.be/o33b2LOvFOM Next up will be number cakes, the basics of piping, and a few birthday cake design ideas.

Thank you for this. I’ve been baking for a while but have not had all the proper baking equipment. I bought a small baking set for beginners, but I need like cake boards and cake strips. All that good stuff. A friend recommended that if I wanted to make my cakes look better that I should look at baking tutorials on here. Thank you so much!
Thank you for this! Finally someone mentioned back soreness! It kills me while frosting!
