PROPOSAL CAKE! Gold drip cake tutorial (Teal & gold theme in 2020!)

Hello everyone honey oatmeal bunches this is Shawn of Love Meats Cake this customer wanted to propose to his girlfriend using a

cake

oh how special so I decided to make a silhouette so first we want to start by squeezing a little of butter cream. the

cake

board so the Kay doesn't slide around and this flavor is a three layer yellow cake with raspberry filling so what I'm doing first is putting a barrier of buttercream around the edge of the cake so that when let's put the filling. it doesn't come out the sides next I'm going to do a crumb coat and a crumb coat is a thin layer of frosting that you apply to the cake first and it's called a crumb coat because it will trap the crumbs in your frosting so when you make the final layer you won't have any crumbs in that final layer so always do that crumb layer first and then we'll put it in the refrigerator to cool so next I'll have my crumb layer.

I'm just going to clean up the edge of the cake by taking my bench scraper with a napkin and then just going around the sides, so it's going to be in the refrigerator for a few minutes. Then I'll have some fun. work so I want to go ahead and roll out my Silhouette and then what I'm going to do is I'm going to need a little bit of gum arabic on the fondant to make it a little bit firmer so it's easier to cut out the shapes and for the way that you can use gum arabic to tylose powder or CMC powder, these will all really work to firm up your fondant once we have rolled out our fondant.

I'm going to go ahead and cut out the shape. I'm going to do it, it will be easier. First pick up the fondant and then pick up the cutter and then what I'm doing here whenever you cut shapes with fondant there's a little bit of grilli on the perimeter of the shape that you cut so I usually take my fingers and then just rub those ruffles and This way you will have smooth edges. We are making our net and it takes a long time and sometimes you might think that just because you have a cutter it will go away quickly, but you always have to get them out. fondant edges and that can take quite a while so I'm going to set it aside on a paper towel.

I'll also include a link in the description bar of where you can get that silhouette cutter, below? I have some curls that are smoothing out on the cake, so I have an upside down mold here and I'm going to put a row of white fondant in there and make some strings of pearls. Alright, next I have edible pearl spray and I'm going to spray those pearls just for shine. You may not be able to see very well, but pearls look like pearls. He just wanted something on the cake board that said, will you marry me? So I'm actually on a thin layer of fondant so I can write that on the cake board, now the cake will have some chocolate chip berries on it.

Another request he had was for it to be

teal

, which is his girlfriend's favorite color, so I'm going to do some

teal

glitter. berries and some

gold

en berries. In other videos you'll probably notice that I put butter in the chocolate when I melted it and that's something I always do to thin out the chocolate, so I'm not going to do any kind of fancy designs with the berries. I'm just going to dip some basic chocolate and then I'm going to sprinkle some sanding sugar, like what I got in almost every video because I'm obsessed with

gold

highlighter, do you need gold in your life, see how?

It's pretty, it makes everything pop, I'm telling you, so from my other videos you see me I always make my golden hilar powder with a little alcohol or lemon extract so I can turn it into paint, so in these simple berries I'm just applying a few brushstrokes of gold on the berry, nothing fancy, nothing elaborate, and then on the berries, where it has the golden sugar. I really wanted to mine my gold, so I'm just going to apply gold on top of that. just to highlight how the difference I love it okay it's ready so I'm going to put my berries on a plate when you see on our left some berries playing and that's just because on the cake I'm going to cut them up and then put them on. them on the cake, look at my beautiful berries like my berry children, yeah, okay, then I took the cake out of the refrigerator and it chilled for about 20 to 30 minutes, so the crumb layer is nice and firm and I'm going to go.

I go ahead and ice the top half of the cake and white and the client said his girlfriend's favorite color is teal so I'm going to do an ombre teal effect on the cake and the way I'm going to do it is: I'm going to ice the bottom of the cake in the darker teal, you know, side notes, is it teal or turquoise? I don't like the word turquoise. I don't know what turquoise with meat means. I don't like. I just want to know what you think about teal or turquoise so next I'm going to take my white frosting and you'll see I'm icing the middle section of the cake so those two colors blend together in a fade technique and the way I'm going to smooth my cake.

I like to use the hot water method, so I take my bench scraper, run it under super hot water, and then run it along the edges of the cake so it's almost like you're ironing your cake, so this is my favorite way to smooth my cakes and then I take my bench scraper with the napkin and I like to go around the base of the cake to clean it off right now my blood clot that's been sitting so for some reason the black hood starts to have a little ash guys it's a little ashy so I like to take my food brush dampened with a little bit of vegetable oil and brush it so that way it gives it a shine and then I'm going to take a little bit of glue just do it we're going to wrap around the base of the cake and I want to use my pearlescent glitter so I can give the layer a shiny shine.

Now listen, like I said, I don't. like I don't like a sheet, I don't like hashey and for some reason the pearl on the board is always like it so I always go with the paper towel and clean it and then I'm going to put my silhouette characters there now They look all shiny on you, they are like that, yes sir, next I'm going to make my white chocolate

drip

, so I'm going to put some chocolate in a bag. I'm just going to

drip

a few lines into one of those. The lines got carried away, they wanted to do what they wanted to do and I didn't like it, but that's okay because you'll see how I fix that later.

The great thing about drip cakes is that you can let your creativity run wild, let those creative juices flow through you, so next I'll take my love that I found in the store and put it in the middle and then I'll start to place my berries on top of the cake. I have some gold Oreos and I'm going to put them on top of the cake and I'm also going to cover the pearls there and it's a good thing I made three pearls because one of them broke which I thought was going to happen because I really wanted to do it in the first place now that the Chocolate drip has hardened, I'm going to paint the fool with chocolate chips.

I also took some skewers and bring them to the end of the ornament insert because I actually wanted to extend my ornament higher so that the flowers and berries don't actually block the level of the words, so as you can see I'm using flowers and strategically and artistically I am arranging those chosen words on my cake. Now don't talk about me right now, okay? Don't embarrass me, okay all you advanced cake decorators, don't embarrass me. I'm not going to make sugar flowers okay stay in my lane they look terrible too so I like to use real flowers for subscribers so these are silk flowers that I actually got.

Michaels, I love your soap flower arrangements, they are so pretty, so what I'm doing as well is I'm taking some of those simple strawberries and cutting them in half and arranging them on the cake as well. Now I also have some diamonds, diamonds are forever and I bought them from my visit, so these are plastic craft diamonds. I haven't used them ice yet in my life, someday I will, so for now I like to use these little plastic diamonds. I clean them and use icing to stick them on. on the cake board now that song is the right head, okay, next thing I want to do 'cause in my life everything is gold, everything baby, I'm going to make some gold decorations on my flowers, I'm going to make some gold decorations on my berries and Guess what I'm going to do with gold embellishments on some of the frosting.

Look at that, as glorious and radiant as it is, even some of those baby Oreos are adorned with gold. It's now when you make details like this. This is what makes your client take notice. the cake and I'm like and I'm like yeah, look at it well, so my client wanted the cake board to say will you marry me? I have another confession, oh I'm going to say this guy okay, here goes, I'm a cake decorator who has terrible handwriting, you know, I'm trying to make myself feel better, yeah, it's not that bad, yeah, it is, Yeah, you see me struggling, you see me already in bad shape in the first part, what is that, doing my best, so I'm just doing?

Okay, I don't like handwriting with icing, anything like that, so anyway I'm going to go ahead and put it on the cake board, rearrange my little diamonds on there, and as always, you know I like all the gold. , so I'm just going to make little gold details around those words don't talk about my confession, okay and then cake glitter gold cake glitter okay and the words look how beautiful it is, it's so pretty here are my balls, congratulations to my client Gerald and his new fiancée Elizabeth, she said yes. she has
