Here are five cake hacks using no cake
0:02
decorating tools. First up, use a hair
0:05
dryer to heat your cake scraper and
0:07
watch how the warm metal smooths out all
0:09
of the texture and the air bubbles.

Next, spoon some buttercream into a
0:13
Ziploc bag and cut the corner off for a
0:14
makeshift piping bag. Pipe straight
0:17
lines, curved lines, zigzags, flowers,
0:20
and dots to create all sorts of cake
0:22
designs with just a Ziploc bag. Use the
0:24
wheel from your microwave if you don't
0:26
have a cake turntable or if you're
0:28
visiting friends and family and you
0:30
don't have one with you. It spins almost
0:32
as smoothly as a cake turntable and for
0:34
super smooth frosting without a cake
0:36
scraper, use a ruler. Press the end down
0:39
on the cake board or plate that your
0:40
cake is on to line it up straight
0:42
against the sides of the cake and then
0:44
spin the cake on the microwave wheel and
0:45
the wheels of that will make it turn in
0:47
circles just like a turntable and you'll
0:49
be shocked at how smooth you can get
0:51
your frosting on your cake. For gorgeous
0:53
textured frosting, use a spoon dragged
0:55
horizontally around a cake or pull it
0:57
vertically up the cake or use arc
0:59
motions for this stunning rustic
1:01
texture. Follow British Girl Bakes for
