Frosting cake hack for those who want to try an alternative to scraping. This idea comes from wrapping a cake in buttercream using an acetate cake collar. This time we'll be filling the acetate cake collar rather than wrapping. I misspoke in the video, put it in the freezer for 30 minutes not seconds 😂

I love the ease of the frost form. I have the 8" and 6" starter+ kits. Worth it if you can afford it. I might consider this method for larger sizes I rarely make. I'll have to find a link for these cake collars.

Bridges ganaching kit works just as well as frost form and this method. I've learnt that when you pipe the buttercream or ganache into the wrap if you do x4 pipes into the collar evenly it helps guide you to fill the cake evenly.

If your side frosting and your filling frosting is the same, you could build 1 cake layer at a time. Eg add cake layer, frost sides and top, add cake layer, frost dides and top and repeat until you get the height you want. It should make it easier to reach and ensure you get to the bottom .

Brigids cake roomis the original company who came up with this idea b4 Frost form. I’ve both collar ideas and the Frost From is a nightmare and way too many steps and very expensive compared to the original Brigids cake room version. A walk in the park no cake trimming etc. also less expensive and a small family business based in Ireland. Frostfrom and Amy Cakes and sweet stamp are owned by the sugar sisters also based in Ireland and the USA. But mainly sell from Ireland. All the top bakers in Europe use the ganache kit from Brigids cake room 😊

@naomiomi7340 6 ай бұрын

I doubt that claim about top bakers using brigids kit. Do you have a source? Out of the 2, frost form looks easier to use. There's no trimming of anything- it's all supplied ready to go. There's no flipping of cakes. The liners are taller. It's a solid polished professional offering to the marketplace. The only thing that lets it down in my humble opinion is the price, especially if needing multiples of same size. Hence why I've decided to make my own. Gonna do something similar to this hack but with a loose bottom tin a thick acrylic base disc and a thicker tall liner.
