- Hello, everybody, welcome back,
welcome to day one of my Valentine's,
not Valentine's day, whoa, no.
Welcome to day one of my
Mother's Day theme week
where I'm gonna be uploading
a Mother's Day theme recipe
every single day this week
from Monday to Friday.
So we're starting off
with a Mother's Day cake,
which is a raspberry vanilla cake
with "Happy Mother's Day" written on top,
and I am going to show
you this super easy hack,
on how to pipe lettering on cake,
so easy and fail-safe,
literally anybody can
do this so don't worry,
you don't need a study
hand, anybody can do this.
So let's get started.
First to bake the cake you wanna
place some butter and sugar
in a bowl and beat with an electric mixer
until it's pale and fluffy.
(light uplifting music)
Add some vanilla bean seeds
and eggs, one at a time,
mixing with each addition.
(light uplifting music)
In a separate bowl, mix together
some flour, baking soda, and salt.
Then add this to the butter
mixture in two additions,
alternating with some sour cream.
(light uplifting music)
Divide the batter between
two greased and floured
9-inch round cake pans.
Bake at 350 degrees
Fahrenheit for 25-30 minutes,
or until a skewer inserted
into the cake comes out clean.
Once they're cool you wanna
slice the tops and bottoms
off of each cake to create a flat cake,
and remove any excess browning.
So this is just gonna
make it look prettier
when you slice it.
Then slice each cake in half
to create two layers per cake.
(light uplifting music)
Throw some raspberry jam onto the cake
and then spread some vanilla buttercream
for the filling on top.
And I'll have the recipe
for the buttercream included
in this cake recipe which is linked
in the description box below.
Then repeat with the other
two layers of the cake
and then coat the cake evenly
in some more buttercream.
(light uplifting music)
Then you wanna print
out from your computer
any kind of message that you'd
like to pipe onto the cake.
I place it on a small baking
sheet and then place the sheet
of parchment paper on top and secure it
to the baking sheet with some buttercream.
And then place the
buttercream in a piping bag
fitted with a really
small round piping tip,
and then just trace the
message with the buttercream,
going over it multiple times
to create thick letters.
And so you want them to be thick
because we're gonna be
transferring this onto the cake,
so the thicker the letters, the
more easier it is to handle.
Then you wanna pop this entire
baking sheet into the freezer
and freeze until the
buttercream is frozen solid
for about 30 minutes.
Then use tweezers or a fork
to gently peel the buttercream
off the parchment paper
and then place this
directly onto the cake.
And don't worry if it breaks,
you can easily piece them
together on the cake,
so don't worry.
Then you wanna place
some extra buttercream
for the decorations in piping bags
fitted with any star-shaped piping tip
or a leaf-shaped piping tip,
and then decorate the
perimeter of the cake
with a bunch of different sizes
and make it look all pretty.
And you are done.
So thank you, guys, so much for watching.
