Perfection by using a metal cake comb

that's been warmed up by holding the
0:24
edge under hot water or running a
0:26
blowtorch flame along it or if you don't
0:28
have one a hair dry once the metal is
0:31
warm use the cake comb as normal and the
0:33
warm metal will Glide over the frosting
0:36
filling in any air bubbles and shallow
0:38
imperfections along the way to leave the

patterned Edge like this one or this one
0:56
or this one because the process is
0:58
exactly the same once the frosting on
1:00
the top of the cake is smooth and the
1:02
sides of the cake are straight but they
1:04
don't have to be smooth yet press the
1:07
bottom of a textured cake comb down on
1:09
the cake board to line it up straight
1:11
and then scrape around the cake with it
1:13
it will leave the textured pattern
1:15
behind in the frosting but it won't be
1:16
neat yet scrape the frosting off your
1:19
cake comb and then scrape again two or
1:21
three times and then spread the frosting
1:24
you've scraped off to cover any gaps or
1:26
indents and then use your textured cake
1:28
comb again you'll see the textured
1:31

1:33
perfect and then just tidy up the topage

1:52
up use the short end of any cake comb to
1:55
make this gorgeous wavy frosting after
1:58
covering the cake with frosting and
1:59
smoothing it just once or twice instead
2:02
of holding the cake comb like this flip
2:05
it around like this push the bottom
2:07
corner slightly closer to the cake as
2:09
you spin the cake and wiggle the comb up
2:12
and down slowly dragging it up the sides
2:15
of the cake leaving elegant waves behind
2:18
by pointing the bottom corner towards
2:19
the cake you'll keep the sides of the
2:21
cake straight instead of digging deeper
2:23
and deeper into the frosting as you work
2:25
your way upwards add mermaid or ocean
2:27
decorations and you have a simple but
2:30
stunning design if you've seen
2:32
buttercream cakes with perfectly neat
2:34
striped frosting and wondered how it's
2:36
done here's the trendy tool this
2:38
strangely shaped cake comb but before
2:41
using this use a straight edged cake
2:43
comb to get the sides of your cake
2:45
really straight then use the striped
2:47
cake comb to imprint grooves like this
2:50
pressing the base of the comb down on
2:52
the cakeboard to make sure the stripes
2:53
are lined up in the same position every
2:56
time you use the comb repeat again and
2:59
again scrape keeping the cake comb clean
3:01
after each time and as the grooves get
3:03
neater use a towel or paper towel to
3:05
wipe off any smudges of buttercream left
3:07
on the comb so that it's really clean
3:09
when you press it against the cake again
3:12
tidy up the top Edge and then put the
3:13
cake into the freezer for exactly 15
3:16
minutes to set these stripe grooves
3:19
before piping another color into the
3:21
gaps and smoothing again straight away
3:23
using your straight edged cake comb
3:25
you'll smear the second color of
3:27
buttercream all over the cake but keep
3:28
scraping and the Stripes will appear and
3:31
they'll get neater and neater as you
3:32
take off all of the excess buttercream
3:35
beautiful what's your favorite cake comb
