This video was greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Yummy!
Omg! I love this video, gonna try each trick on birthday cakes, thank you
Those are great ideas and if I was a baker those ideas would have me so excited and ready to decorate many cakes.
This is very useful! Now my mediocre cake looks store bought
Love it! Where do you get that square silicone pan you used for the candy melts?
This is great and makes it so easy. Thanks love these videos
more videos with her and this style !
These are awesome tips… thanks!!
Awesome. I’m always looking for something different that’s not too labor intensive. It’s boring to offer guests same thing year after year!
Wonderful! I'm a decent cake baker, but a very mediocre decorator. It's always wonderful to have new techniques to help my cakes look as fancy as they taste!
These look wonderful. Now I just need to find enough people who will eat cake.
Wouldn't want to eat raw apples on a cake and the same goes with the streaks of food coloring….. always remember that it's not just about looking good, it's about tasting good as well!
Incredible ideas!!
The thumbnail she doesn''t show, but that is just covering the whole cake with a star tip, not that much harder than just icing once you fill the bag and good results. No need for a cake wheel either.
Easy AND beautiful! Thank you for these great ideas! We LOVE your videos and recipes very much. Thank you! 💕🌞🎉
I've posted this previously on your other videos; I love your voice on these video's. You are awesome!
Woo! ✨Beautiful!✨
Gorgeous cakes. The lemonade cake is a beaut, but for me that chocolate drizzle cake takes the cake. Or rather, it's the cake I'd take, and the one I want to make. That chocolate glaze looks really easy and expedient. Melted butter, chocolate, and syrup. How does it compare to glaze or ganache made with chocolate and heavy cream? I imagine adding more fat and sugar doesn't make it less delicious. I don't always have heavy cream on hand, but I do have butter. I don't keep corn syrup in my pantry, but I expect a simple syrup (made of sugar and water) or perhaps honey, maple syrup or light molasses (depending on the flavor you like) would be a fine substitute. Without a stand mixer I avoid buttercreams, so this kind of frosting mixed in a bowl has a lot of appeal. Looks delicious and beautiful. I want to eat it with my eyes and my mouth. Thank you, Lan Lam and ATK.
That blueberry jam trick is awesome. Relatively simple and quite beautiful results. 👍
So easy when someone shows you how, so thank you.
nasty food coloring.
This was awesome thank you… i will have to try the apple roses…
