How To Make A 2016 MTV AWARDS CAKE! Vanilla Cake With Italian Meringue Buttercream for the VMAs!

[Music] oh I know that that was the best no I just got to do this interview so like just hang out with me it's not even a big deal okay yeah like I don't know who knows yo you're seven hours late hello it's me yo welcome back to how to cake it um this week I made an MTV cake I love music oh I brought my homie I hope you don't mind this is Sir squeeze you know my fans love him too so the MTV Awards are coming up soon and this week's cake is all about the top five nominees for song of the year is that okay how a different vibe today yo usually you're like you know laughing and we joke around honestly that was so like 1 million 999,999 to make my MTV Awards cake I baked 30 lb 30 lb of my ultimate vanilla cake it's the MTV Awards it's got to be big it's got to be like large I dyed my cake batter five different bright colors and baked them in five different cake pens I'll put the colors I use and the description of how I divided my batter in a link below once my cakes were baked and cooled I removed them all from their pens and I leveled them and cut off the caramelization from the bottom to create my staircase naturally I created templates so I used five different cake boards and I cut them to the size that I wanted my cakes to be I wanted to make sure that all of my cakes decreased in size by 2 in in length and 2 in in width so that when I stack them one on top of the other they will look like a gorgeous staircase leading up to the stage hold on a minute yeah can we get somebody to make my templates yeah I feel like exactly where were we my two smallest cakes are actually Square so I need to cut them in half and stack one half on top of the other to create a rectangle once all five cakes are trimmed into the perfect shape I have to simple syrup them yeah you know you help me with that I can't take all the credit for that that's my boy simple syrup really helps to lock in the moisture in my cakes while I decorate them you can get your own simple syrup bottle at hat.com you did amazing you got to come back on the next video for sure you know what it's time for crumco and chill Justin where are my backup dancers I'm so sorry I totally forgot about that I'm not doing this Coro alone I'm not I'm just no can we get dancers can we get danc crumb coat and chill I working on some new Coral yeah that was a lot of like I feel like it represents buttercream a lot [Music] more now that my Crum coat is set I'm going to ice my cakes again and chill them these stairs need to be perfect and straight I'm really focusing on the sides which will be our steps now that all five of my cakes are iced beautifully with sharp Corners it's time for fondant so I roll out my black fondant into big slabs making sure that I have enough length for the longest cake which is the bottom tier uh from now on I no longer use fondant I use fondante can we get rid of all the fondant in the back and order fondante please it's it's the same thing it is not it has a Beyonce accent at the end first thing I need to do is measure the height of all my cakes and hopefully they're all the same and they are I will not have uneven stairs on my stage I'm going to cut my fondant slabs into strips that are the right height for each one of my cakes I cover the opposite shorter sides of the cakes with strips of fondant smoothing the strips on with my fondant smoother and then I plac them in the fridge to chill now I need to trim all of the strips flush to the cake and then cover the remaining two opposite sides with more strips of fond [Music] it [Music] now I take a look at the tops of all my cakes and wherever I see any little dips I just take a little more Italian wearing buttercream with an offset spatula and fill in those gaps cuz I want these steps to be nice and flat oh my Instagram is going crazy everybody wants to know who designed this t-shirt you can actually get your own at how to cake I had the designer actually make a few of them you're welcome okay ladies now let's get information I'm going to stack all five of my cakes one on top of the other to form a staircase I want to make sure to measure that there's equal distance on either side where the steps come up and what are you doing I'm doing an interview and I see this girl with a unicorn pen dancing on the top of her laptop that you got me that's not for work that's for your leisure [Music] time now I need to roll out some more black fondant slabs so that I can cut strips to cover the tops of each cake well whatever is exposed I work step by step starting from the bottom up making sure to measure the thickness of the fondant strips that I needed I cut my black fondant strips I covered the two sides of the top of the cake and the front and then I cut a diagonal seam to remove the excess f it I repeat this process for the other three steps can I just take a moment to give a shout out to my VIPs hey VIPs what's up I just want to say thank you for going to hatak it.com and signing up to be a VIP because I sent you this video last night before it went up on YouTube I see you in the comments [Music] and now for the stage who's preparing my stage tonight you okay well make sure to measure I will not have a crooked stage and then to cut your fond to the perfect measurements and lay that fondant onto the stage perfectly before I go on did you you mismeasured at first no did you just ask me if I mismeasured I'm so sorry I clearly don't know you but that is we can go I need to bring this stage to Life with music so I decided to write lyrics from the top five nominated songs on the Riser of each step I need to start cutting out all my letters most of the letters on the cake are actually just white gumpaste cut out with a tap it I'll put a link below to the one I used for the song titles I actually took it a step further yeah I made more templates I know I not only made the color of the gumpaste for each tier the same as the cake inside but I also used the actual font used for each song Sorry is actually just I blew up a picture of Justin Bieber holding a sign that said sorry and just took the letters hello was the most difficult one I cut that one last cuz it's thin thin thin letters thanks Adele next time think of my cakes please honestly the font it's not good for cakes it's it's so true I knew she had a fla I knew it you know I was in the studio working on this cake forever like it was just me and Sasha and I actually had to call my producer Joselyn and say like girl hey girl I can't do this I need time I need I need rest and I've got to give this my all that actually happened that actually happened this was a had a cake at first I called Joselyn look it's me I called Joselyn I was like Joselyn I can't do this it was like 11: at night and the next step was to place all these letters on the cake and I was like I can't see in my hands I just I can't do it so uh yeah Sash and I went home and slept came here the next morning and it was the right decision for the show I really think it was the right decision for the show it's time to place all these letters on my cake thank goodness it's morning and I'm awake right now before placing the lyrics on each step I actually laid out the whole sentence on top of a ruler so I can measure how much room it would take up and make sure to center it on the front of each tier cuz there's nothing worse than just guessing and starting to place the letters and realizing I can't fit all of hotline bling on one tier oh I know when that hotline blings hi Mr K how's your day going yeah they have me doing another interview yeah I'll be done I'm with sir squeeze cool he's right here why want to talk to him yes I'm with sir squeeze we're just friends you know he does my simple syruping stop looking at those magazines okay love you [Music] man I'm going to place the MTV logo right on the surface of the stage that way when I'm giving my performance and you see like the bird's eye view and the camera's pan by me like you'll see that logo I basically cut out some strips of white gumpaste with a strip cutter and formed the logo Strip by strip around my [Music] template [Music] for the T and the V I cut them out of white gumpaste and placed them in at the end yo the stage is set it's ready JN you used to sing what do you need to sing ballad a microphone perhaps ballad okay so let me can I get to that yes sorry thank you so basically I just rolled out some black fonet and covered half of a lollipop stick and that will be my stand and then I made a tiny little microphone I rolled out the little handle I rolled a little ball for the microphone I used a little te- strainer to add some texture to the top of the microphone and then I rolled out some strips and painted them with gold luster just to add you know some Pizzazz to the microphone and I did make the base of the mic stand a gold Circle I'm going to set my mic microphone and stand aside for now cuz I want to add one more thing to this cake I had to set this MTV stage apart so I'm using a bunch of different silver and gold draes and creating a pattern on the surface of each step just to make my cake look you know funkier it's like the 2016 MTV wordss it kind of look like last year's steps those stret do basically make it impossible to like walk on the stage though oh God here we go jine someone you can't walk on a Surface it's C in J I can I'm a [Music] performer [Music] I'm going to admit it I gave Drake's tiar a little bit more love I placed some jelly Diamonds On The Hotline bling tiar he is from Toronto and it's not like I want to make his 30th birthday cake or anything what's up Drake hey Drake why isn't that hot line blinging I'm just going to put my number up on the screen you won't be able to miss it call me I make cakes you're turning dirty 30 we're from the same city what's the problem here final step I'm going to add my mic stand to the top of the stage beside the MTV logo and then I'm going to add my microphone I wanted to put the microphone on the stand I tried but I couldn't so I laid it down as if it had been dropped that was Kanye and I added a black fondant cord just twirling all the way down the steps I'm going out there guys how do I look what are you actually going to do I think I heard someone called my name no I think I have to go give my
