Hi! Love the video. How do you do to have your buttercream so soft and clean? I always get some kind of sugar crumble when I made it. 😔 So the result are no so clean. Thanks and regards from Costa Rica. 😊
This was extremely helpful!

I can't believe that's buttercream!!!! She's so good.
You really look like Ginger Spice. Your cakes are as beautiful as you❤️❤️❤️
Hey! after you complete the decorating, do u put the cake back in the fridge until it’s tome to eat it? Also do u recommended making it the night before or on the day? Do let me know thank you !!
Thanks for the tips. Very professional work.
do you ever use simple syrup ?
What cake pans do you use 😕
To cut the bread does it have to be warm or let it cool down first??
🤩🤩🤩
Thanks for this!! I struggle with scraping, I find after doing the crumb coat and the second layer, when I scrape the second layer it sort of sticks and drags the buttercream, it doesn’t glide. I’ve got a metal scraper but still…any tips? Xx
Ta une accent bébé tes pas vraiment une anglaise, après pour le gâteau elle est réussi je vais essayer de la reproduit. Et cela ne va pas être facile sur tout que ne comprends pas l'anglais so cute your cake.
Hi brilliant tutorial thanks but just one question, how did you move the finished cake off the glass and non slip mat onto the white ceramic stand without damaging it?
After watching this, the only word in my lexicon is 'buttercream' 😂
Thank you for the tips and tutorials.. I love you channel..😍 Watching from Philippines.. 😍
