If you don't have a turn table ...try this ...if you have a microwave use the microwave plate and ring under the plate place on your counter or table be sure the space where you set the ring and plate are smooth.

Thank you! I wished i had seen ypur video first. I wouldn't have so much issue frosting. I kept moving my bench scraper along with the turn table. Got pretty frustrated. Youre the 1st i heard that said to hold to scraper steady while only turning the turntable. I finally got it. And i almost quit baking when i just started.😂 so thank you

As with all your baked goods this is beautiful! I always use cake board to place my cake on which makes it easier to place in the fridge but the edge always shows. I feel like I have to apply the buttercream extra thick to cover it. I would love to see a video explaining what size of circle to use and how to avoid so much buttercream. I am new to baking and love your videos especially the ones with your daughter tasting all your beautiful creations...she is adorable. Happy New Year and thank you!

Hello Aya. I always found your recipe inspiring! I have a question about the buttercream which will be harden once you chill in the fridge? Do you always eat it the same day you frost it rather than making it a day in advance?

@PastryLivingwithAya Жыл бұрын

Hello! Yes, it'll get harden just like any other buttercream due to butter inside. If you want softer texture, leave it outside sometime before serving. I try to make it the same day when I can but if that is difficult, I sometimes frost a day before!

@Stargazer9900 9 ай бұрын

For how long should you chill the cake before adding the second layer of frosting? Also, will the frosting go flat while the flake is chilling in the fridge? Do you suggest making a second batch of frosting while it’s chilling? Sorry quite ignorant with cake making!

how do you frost a chocolate cake with chocolate mousse filling and a chocolate ganache frosting?

@PastryLivingwithAya 10 ай бұрын

The tricky part is that chocolate mousse can melt when the ganache is too warm and ganache can get hardened quickly if it’s cold. I would coat room temperature ganache (not cold) on refrigerated mousse and try to finish coating it asap. Or, if you have a silicone mold, you can also try coating soft ganache all around the surface first and quickly remove chilled mousse from a cake ring(freeze if necessary), drop in the ganache, and chill it in the freezer to remove the cake. That’s 2 options I thought of😅 I hope that makes sense!
