I have been looking through You Tube (www.youtube.com) looking for some videos of people demoing cake techniques. There is a lot of videos that aren't worth watching.... Can we start a discussion thread of links to You Tube of videos that are actually helpful for us cake decorators?
Even better, most of us have a digital camera that can do short video clips, lets add them to You Tube (use cake central as one of the key words) and then post the link here on cake central!
Thanks everyone! |

Here's one of my favorites:

About 10 minutes long but it has some cool stuff in it, a couple of new techniques that I started using myself. Like, taking the spatula from the edge of the cake to the middle, I think it gives me a sharper edge. And at the very end she shows how to VERY quickly pipe a rose right on the cake. |

Wow! Thanks for posting that! You're right, she is unbelievably fast! You can tell she has had LOTS of experience!
Was she using a pencil in place of a flower nail? That's something I never would have thought of. I wouldn't want to eat icing that had been wrapped around a pencil lead, but I'm sure you could find something in a similar shape that would be safer. I wonder if it works better than a flower nail. It sure was working for her, huh? |
