Introduction1:37
Frosting cakes26:40
"Let's start at the beginning. Once you’ve chosen your cake recipe and filled the cake with your favorite flavors, we need to protect it from drying out and at the same time make it look appealing. To be honest, this is the moment when I start to enjoy immensely."
Eva Klinc, cake decorator
Covering cakes with sugar paste45:20
“When you take the sugar paste out of the packaging, it’s usually pretty solid and difficult to work with. You have two options here: you can cut it into smaller pieces and knead each piece separately, or you can cut off a larger piece and very briefly put it in the microwave."
Eva Klinc, cake decorator
Different types of sugar paste and colors19:24
"Now that we’ve gotten to know all these types of sugar paste, allow me to introduce some color. Life without colors would be pretty dull, am I right?"
Pastillage16:23
“This video is all about a special sugar paste that served as my gateway to the interesting world of 3D cakes. It’s called pastillage and is very similar to other types of sugar paste at first glance, but has one big advantage. It dries very quickly.”
Chocolate tempering made easy22:48
“Correctly tempered chocolate has a nice shine, especially if chilled on a smooth surface. It melts at the right temperature. By the way, there is a joke that may have a bit of truth to it ... Chocolate is supposed to be God’s gift to man, as it melts precisely at our mouth temperature."
Glazing cakes13:27
"Practice makes perfect, the more cakes you glaze, the better you’ll be at it... If I had to choose, I’d say the most important element in glazing cakes is a smooth and level cake surface."
Edible paper flowers28:02
“Edible paper is very sensitive to moisture. If you place the flowers in the refrigerator or on a cake with a glaze that hasn’t completely set yet or if the room you’re working in is fairly damp, the flowers will melt. But there is a way to protect them from moisture."
Eva Klinc, cake decorator
Sugar paste flowers24:36
"We're still working on flowers ... and today I'm showing you how to make them from sugar paste - gum paste."
Eva Klinc, cake decorator
Tall cakes20:15
“Today I’ll show you how to make a 2-tier cake with a chocolate drip, painted with gold paint and featuring a buttercream that looks like concrete. We’ll also apply your new skills in making flowers on a twig made of edible paper."
Eva Klinc, cake decorator
Making a decorative figurine (Elsa)36:10
“One of the increasingly popular 3D cartoon character figurines, Elsa, can also be created in your own kitchen. In this course, I’ll show you the techniques and tricks. Tip: In addition to other utensils, you will also need a piece of styrofoam. "
Eva Klinc, cake decorator
3D cake basics21:54
“As you already know, 3D cakes are my passion and I can’t wait to introduce you to this world as well. We will start with something simple that does not require extreme precision and allows you to let your imagination run wild."
Eva Klinc, cake decorator
Multi-tiered cakes37:03
"The wedding cake is a reflection of the wedding itself. In addition to being delicious, it must also look great. In this course, I will tell you how to tackle the construction of a 3-tier wedding cake and how to decorate it."
Eva Klinc, cake decorator
