it with a knife but this is a little bit easier you'll go like this and you will just get rid of the top okay we're ready we're ready for yes cake decorating awesome so let's go to the workshop so right now the cake is clean MH and we're going to bring it out and we're going to make a birthday cake for shiny yay wonderful so we'll start with the decorations how do you describe your job cake designer I'm a baker and I create uh specialty cakes for kids and adults actually for every occasion for birthday parties for baby showers bridal showers for weddings for all kinds of events it's fun it's a fun job it just like it it was a hobby that became my my daily job so you followed your heart and things that you really love to do and you made a profession out of it exactly but you're really a designer because you do more than just decorate a cake you really come up with Concepts and create individualized cakes and cupcakes and cookies you listen to your customer they tell you what they want for their special occasion and you envision and you create something special for them it's a very nice process to see like you start from scratch and then you create a beautiful like piece of art it's Edible art Edible art that makes everyone happy exactly that's a really nice thing to do so let's talk a little bit about the tools that you use of course is a spatula we use this to ice the cakes let's talk about fondant fondant is a thick paste made of sugar and water and often flavored and colored used in making candy and decorating pastries and cakes every time you use it I have to move it and rehydrate it until you make like a very very flexible dough it is it's like a hard silly PTY exactly but you can eat it exactly that's great this is a rolling pain then we have edible markers what does that mean it means that you can paint and do your own art or write a message and you can eat it afterwards and we have some sprinkles this is the Pan part yes then we have the piping gel remember the piping gel yes from the class so it's like glue exactly that you can eat it exactly yes I love it we have a scraper this is for the frosting this is after we use the the spatula the spatula we'll go you will see okay it will be fun what else we have looks just like shiny I found the perfect one actually I was so excited because I found that's awesome and last but not least the icing and you can color it the way you want okay so let's get started yes so the first core we using is the what color is this it's the same color as shiny what color yellow first of all we have to knit it to warm it up so we'll have to squeeze it and stretch it and Fold It many many times so first of all we are cutting a star right so how how should we do that first of all we need kind of like a perfect ball right and I will measure it it should fit right I think so and I will with both hands I will press press press press press can you press let's press I will shake it a little bit oh okay let's do some shaking and let's see here it's perfect y and now it's time to make the eyes Okay and next cor I'm using is the white okay first make a good ball so you would press and roll and press and roll and press and roll and press and roll and then you would go like back and forth back and forth back and forth until you make like a a little candy yes like a little oval so what else would we put on Chinese cake now we have to use our imagination exactly let use your imagination because you are the designer what would we put on shiny cake so since we are celebrating its birthday I think he will be holding a Piping Bag and decorating its own birthday cake oh my goodness I think shiny is going to love it yay this gets more exciting by the [Music] moment now it's time to work on the real cake that we're going to put all these amazing decorations so we'll grab our angle spatula spatula [Music] okay now remember the scraper yes we'll hold it like this like very very close to the cake okay and we will go all around all around awesome yes and the center of the little cake like this and it will be over here standing up oh it's so pretty and now we'll add some [Music] sprinkles I would be right back oh I have to take a look at this beautiful cake the cake is just perfect do you think shiny is going to love it shiny I'm so glad you're here happy birthday happy birthday this is
