I MADE MY OWN BABY SHOWER CAKE! GRINCH THEME

hi guys welcome back to my channel so for today's video as you guys read in the title and as I've been telling you guys I will be making my own baby shower cake so I will be baking decorating and setting up doing my own tire baby shower cake so I am so excited I haven't done a big cake like this in a while or not not that big it's not gonna be that big of a cake but I guess detailed cake like this I do bake with you guys like quite a lot but those cakes are pretty simple pretty to the point not more than one hour long and stuff this one is definitely gonna be way more time taking than a lot then an hour long reason why I did not do it live reason why I am vlogging it because it's gonna be so much easier so before getting into the video I do want to say a huge disclaimer I am in no way shape or form Betty Crocker Cake Boss no kind of professional I just love baking I love decorating so I decided to do my own baby shower cake back in about 2014 2015 I did do a lot of cakes big cakes like this since quinceanera cakes wedding cakes for a while oh I want to say like a year or two I was doing cakes on the side so I was a full-time server and I was a full-time student but on the weekends I would bake maybe one cake - cake depending on how big the cakes were for kings and yachts and weddings um or baby showers or whatever the case was a little side hustle that I had I'll post some pictures right here of past cakes that I have done I did Mike a couple of my cousin's quinceañera cakes I did a couple of wedding cakes I did a lot of like really small cakes as well but it has been a while that I have not done like I told you guys like a tiered cake and a detailed cake but like they say look at me and stuff Brendan no say Alvida so hello I will try to show you guys everything that I do from beginning to end and baking just like cooking and just like makeup there is a hundred and million in one ways to do things so the way that I do it might not be the way that you do it if you are a professional please do not come at me and this is just how I decided to do it at my house do this aura intro let you guys know what is going on also I am wearing new words which will be dropping November once I have the official date I will of course be letting you guys know but if so it says a baby girl with the less to make up a logo right here and this is the sand color I love this color it's like a nude sandy color we also have the pink one and the black one a new word guys this month I am so excited so I know the intro was a lot of talking but for the rest of the I would be basically just cake talks with you in no way shape or form but are interested in baking or in cakes this video might not be interesting for you personally I can watch these kind of videos like people doing cakes and baking and stuff for hours and hours and hours so if it is going to be entertainment / tutorial / just bring you guys along with me through the whole process of making the cake so the very first thing that I did was I had to obviously come up with what exactly what exact cake I wanted I always like to have the design that I'm going to do exactly in my head for when I start so right here I'm going to post the picture of the sketch that I did like I said there was no picture that there's no picture that I am recreating there was no cake that I liked online for me to recreate it exactly so I drew my own picture it is not the best I am NOT a good jar but as you can see that first here it is going to be a 6 inch 8 inch and then a 10 inch of tiered cake I am aiming for each tier to be about 6 inches top so the top tier is going to be the Grinch face with his hand sticking out with a sphere and then the middle one how baby digital Christmas with Cindy Lou and Max on the side and the bottom tier is going to be kind of like a Whoville theme going on the board I bought it pretty big so I have space to put a couple of Christmas trees which are going to be made out of cone so so I went ahead and went to my cake store and I already have my prints here there is three sheets this is sugar sheet so there is many many ways that I could have done this I could have free handed them I could have sculpted them out of fondant I could have done a lot of sugar but this is the way that I decided to go it is the most simplest way to me and you can't go wrong with it it is super clean I feel like when you are doing a cake that is a character that is known you have no space for error if you are free handing out of your sculpting it yourself because it's Leninist a solid like 1% to white like the Grinch already looks like his highest look annoy me so that's why I went with the prints the sugar prints that way they're literally off Google and they are of course edible and this looks exactly like the Grinch and everything looks exactly like how I want for it to look so that is step one and me getting the cake started by the way today's Wednesday my baby shower is Saturday so I have not baked I have not done anything yet I first I'm going to do this because this you do need to let it sit out for about a day or two for the fondant to harden and then I will get to the baking so now step one I will get into this so these are the sugar sheets that I told you guys put is literally puppet made out of sugar these are the prints that I got so the grinch how baby G so Christmas the Whoville houses more houses and then the Cindy Lou and the max that I will be using so before I printed them out I did get my cake pans and then I kind of measured about how tall I wanted for Cindy Lou to be max how big I wanted for the arm to be I actually printed out two sides of arms because I wasn't I wasn't too sure if this was going to be too big or if this was going to be too small but I did go ahead and measure before printing them out just like went into the store and said can I have the Grinch make it six inches tall and things like that but like I said this is sugar paper so you are able to eat it now what I'm going to do which is going to take me a little bit of time is I'm going to cut out with this number how that I bought and by the way guys I'm actually taking off my nails to do and to decorate the cake right after this video before I get into baking I'm gonna take off my nails because give up I go Paquito with it but I'm just going to cut out every single one of these [Music] okay so here is the first cut out it was obviously fast forwarded for you guys but it took me quite a while you do need a lot of patience to do this so now I have to cut out the rest and then I will see you guys once all my cutouts are ready [Music] so here's the other cutout and another thing I love about prints besides that they are edible is that you can obviously customize them like in your app on your phone before you print them so here on the little sphere I did add little putty dust and then also the do 12:23 which is my due date okay so I am finally done with all of the cut out a quartet ollas casitas from the Whoville that's in Balu how baby Jesus till Christmas and then over here some houses I think I actually cut a little too many houses but I'd rather have extra okay so no Mikado's already I'm going to need to roll out some fondant and put them on top of the fondant because one this is literally paper so it is super thin and two if I glue the house straight into the frosting it's going to melt because this is made out of sugar so I need to give it a thick board which I'm going to make out of fondant so this is fondant this is the one that I will be using all content that I've used honestly works the same I just so happened to get this brand but I will be using this fondant I got it in white the best way that I can describe which part it is edible play dough if you leave fondant out it will get really really hard which is the purpose of why I am using fondant because once I put such cut outs over the fondant and cut it out it will get super super hard and then I will have fake prints and it is kind of sticky so I'm going to use powdered sugar asuka in polvo and save to my table a little bit I actually meant to buy a mat to roll this out they some max especially for rolling up on day but I totally forgot and I have a pretty spacious island so I'm gonna use my island just some powdered sugar and work with the play-doh or now with the play-doh and work with the fondant and start rolling out to the funding once I roll out my fondant I will get whatever cut out I'm going to put have a little bit of water in a brush that I have right here just just to lightly damp up the fondant this will make it sticky and then your cut out will stick to the fondant do not put too much water though because you will melt the sugar print so now that it's stuck to I found it and will go back with my knife and then cut around the fondant grab a little bit more water so I can you guys see how the pictures lift in here a little bit so I can damp some water and glue down the picture well the picture of the house is the sugar prints now that I have the cutout I'm going in the corners and setting it so this is kind of acting as my glue for the picture on the pendant so here is one done so now instead of being super send sugar paper that I cannot stick straight to the cake I did fondant which is right now still super soft I'm going to lay these out for the next two days and when I grab them again this fondant is going to be super hard so this is kind of like acting as a cardboard and here it is one done and all of those two go fast I placed some wax paper on this cookie sheet and as I finished them I have only done one so far as I finished them I will place them here and then on Thursday once I actually use them on the cake these will be hard it's like little boy a pony and boy [Music] okay so three hours later about three hours later I am done with the cutouts so these are all fully done with the fondant I am letting it dry like I told you guys it takes about a day or two days for the fondant to fully get hard which is what I want employees will ask act like the cardboard so there's nothing hard about doing this it's just really really time taking and you have to have a lot of pictures but to me it's pretty Mosley's - like they're kind of like a stress reliever or position to me it's kind of like a stress reliever I like it but it is really time taking just because you have to like especially like less it doesn't stuff like that I had to really go like around the corners super precise so it's definitely time taking but now that that is out of the way now I'm going to get to actually baking the cake so this is the mix that I use and I decide to go with white this tasted pretty this taste is pretty much like vanilla I decided to go with white because I'm coloring the frog I will be coloring the cake mix red and green so every slice is gonna have half green and half red so that's why I went with white so it really catches a true red and a true green and this brand is the one that I always always always always use so my cakes are not from scratch I always tell you guys my cakes are made out of box and then here I have obviously the oil of milk which is in the fridge is the spray that I use so my cakes do not stick this is the one that I've been using for ever and I love it alright here I have the eggs and at the plan which is the 6 inch 8 inch and then also the 10 inch normally when I used to do cakes like every weekend I got pretty good at the underlay how many boxes each pan would juice are you doing this but now honestly I'm not that good so I went ahead and bought hella extra cake mix but if you're okay male abre I'm a chemist and either way take with you guys all the time life so even if I do have leftover which I know for a fact well I'm so sad later so I also have these right here these I put it in the center of the pan so the cake bakes evenly so this attracts heat to the center of the pan and then not together like crudo a little Ponte in video and then right here I bought to these boards that were like 30 cents each and these are the ones that I will be using when the cakes come out to be calling them I'm here on the island and lastly and my best friend is the kitchen eight the KitchenAid mixer if you guys want to get into baking or if you guys like baking I highly highly highly recommend this it is pretty pricey I believe it's like 350 but it will literally save your life I just throw all the ingredients in here so I started my little base station this is where I will be doing it [Music] so I just threw everything in here by the way if you guys noticed I popped on my apron and was getting so high on my hoodie so I just popped out my apron which happens to be the Grinch so now I with after I put everything I'm gonna mix this up and then I will be coloring this one red okay so now that my mix is ready I went ahead and sprayed my pan with the nonstick spray and then I also sprayed this thing right here so it doesn't stick around the cake and to fill up my pants a little bit more than half ways not necessarily 3/4 but right about right there I'll stop it right there and then I'll grab the little rod that goes in the center like I said I did spray it place it in the middle I tap it a little bit in the counter so the bubbles right to the top and then now the cake is ready to go into the oven this is one out of two four six that I will be making so this is the 8 inch that is clearly red and then right now I will put in another 8 inch but I sell center of it because I'm gonna stack them together so when you cut the cake you get a red half of the cake is gonna be red and then half of the cake is going to be green now I have the rest of the cakes to do but that is basically how I bake one cake now I will do the rest of the cakes so I have some leftover red cake mix which I'm not going to use anymore because the rest of the cakes are going to be green so I throw it in a plastic piping bag and then once the cake mixes in there I will cut it and then fill in my cupcakes this is this is like the easiest and cleanest way to do cupcakes I've tried to show many ways guys and feeling of cupcakes and I highly recommend this way right here so this is [ __ ] awesome a shop for this normally I will either do like an extra little cake and then just take it to my mom or something or I will also do cupcakes it's like cupcakes are better cuz who doesn't love some cupcakes so I do not ever throw away leftover cake mix I do do extra cupcakes or an extra little cake and then hello me in the mornings and then give it to my family or something so it was late on three six nine ten little extra Palo Duro 11 little extra cupcakes and these are numbers that we shower but I just wanted to show you guys what I do with my extra cake mix and then these are literally like a hundred of them for like five dollars so this is just this is disposable you can go ahead and wash it but I do throw it away and now we have some cupcakes for the family it is currently 12 23 midnight I am exhausted about to check on the last cake whew so this high check out my case these are just wooden raw wood and polytopes and then I put it in if it comes up clean it is ready it is ready I can finally go to sleep my feet are killing me so actually to make a mold busted so I had to redo it which is the one that I did right there but all of the rest are already done they're already cooling alex has been asleep for like two hours now it is about to be 1:00 in the morning I am so frickin exhausted but I got everything who or not everything I got all the baking done I got all of the little cutouts wkc and I will continue tomorrow to actually get started on the actual cake decorating so I'll see you next tomorrow hi guys I'm back in day 2 so all of my cakes are already obviously bate and completely cooled I wanted to show you guys how I prep each single layer so I already cut all of my other layers and I get this want to show you guys how I do it so this is what the cake that looks like in the Lord completely right out of the pack and then this is what I use to cut my case you can obviously also just use a knife and then make it hold still in your stomach and then just twist the cake but I think my hand even if I just try and hold it as steady as I can right here it's the move so I always just go with this and this is also like from the cake store just for your level your cakes it is basically like a little saddle toy knife and then it has little blots right here so you are able to make this taller or make this shorter depending on how tall you wanted your cake so I am going to make it on the height that I want it I put it steady on the table I grab my cake and then I start turning my cake and then also moving my little mat my heats up Dean just so I can get a super nice and level cake and also if you guys notice I did take off my nails this morning I really wanted to decorate the cake without having nails this leftover bread I am putting it in a little click right here and then I will just either eat it later or I will also use that leftover cake to stop the middle of the cake ok so here are my three tiers cut and ready to be frosted this one I'm gonna make it green now I was actually initially gonna make it red and I was painting my frosting Veronica Tsingtao it did not come on red I literally put a hole with the cito of my job McClory and I cannot get it to the bread so it was really really bugging me and I didn't want like you guys see how it's a kind of like a pinkish red when I seem like it's gonna throw off the whole cake so I'm not gonna use that frosty guys it took me like a whole hour trying to like make that food coloring I mean make that frosting red you guys see how tinted my hands are even red I just have up and I even went on my app and like Regis and like Regis if a winner my app and like we did it for the background to look green to see how it would look and it actually doesn't look back so I painted my front loaded my frosting green and I actually got a really really nice green he looks a little minty on camera but it's actually a pretty good green I'm afraid to match the grinch so I'm just gonna go with green so green white and blue and I'm gonna start with the little wig for the six things I'm gonna use a small spatula since it is the small cake and I'm going to add a little bit of frosting to the board so the cake has something to stick to and then put the first layer down and I'm going to also add this same green frosting to the center of the layers so the cakes stick together each tier is gonna have an extra thin layer that I ended up making last minute because the middle sputnik's and they were only about five inches tall and I really want for each tier to be six inches tall so I went ahead and baked some tiny extra a cake for each tier just to get it as high as I want it so that won't for it to be as you guys can tell pretty tall remedy and it is six inches I'm going to quickly crumb coat it before I fully frost the whole cake so I used to just fully frost the whole cake with a spatula but now I find it so much easier and so much simpler to frost the cake which one with one of these so this is a Wilton 79 I throw it in a piping bag and cut the piping bag about halfway through the piping tip now I have this so I'm going to fill this up with the green frosting and fully frost the 6-inch cake [Music] so after I finished with the piping bag I'll grab this which is called a a bench scraper I think it's called but I just have to go around and smooth it out I also have a trader of water this is hot water and then I will dip my spatula in here just to make the metal hot and then it is so much easier just smooth it basically I just keep going and going until it's all pretty smooth and then I will do one last turn to give it the last [Music] oh I just saw the clip of me frosting it and the green lives are really really washed out I think this of the ring light but it percent and right now it actually looks a little bit better to its true color but in person and you can associate a better light once the cake is fully done tomorrow on daylight and stuff but this is actually a pretty true green which I was a little bit scared to like not get like a good green screen but I'm actually pretty happy so here is my first one fully frosted and finished now I'm going to frost the second here and third here and then I will be right back I'm getting some of the leftover cake that I took out and I am filling in the little holes in the middle the holes that came from the thingy that I put back it's like Oceania but if you see it up from the end the whole cake so I'm just stuck in the middle with that and then back to frosty [Music] okay so tutors frosted I am down to the last one so this is the board the cake is going to go in bits a little bit bomb load to be honest but once was the cake with the weight of the case of Samoa and that aside this one I'm it's going to be I'm gonna frost it a little bit different so this is where the Whoville Whoville Vale is going to be out for that my belly's oh and I want to give it the illusion that it is snow at the at the bottom and then the sky at the top and this board is like way bigger than the cake normally it's just 2 inches wider but I do want to add like some little Christmas trees around around the board so I needed more space reason why I have like this huge Osborn so for this one I am going to first do white so it can be like this note and then I'm going to follow it with blue so it can be like in the sky so I have already oh it's actually helped you guys it is sold a freaking heart well the water come mr. solo freaking umm thick that hurts my mind to mix it so Alex what I had a mixed it for me because my adorable baboo are busy already and I'm gonna start off with the white again with the piping bag and then type this all around and in the rest I'm going to do it in blue so it can be the sky so I'm gonna go right above the white oh let me just say my hind is freaking killing me like trying to like put a bunch of pressure at my money thighs tiny F and I am young gasps look so this is definitely a workout but once I fully finish frosting and now I'm just going to smooth it out okay so now that my third tier is fully frosted and ready to go I am going to do a little cleanup video you can see or polys can get like the biggest mess that I have so I write for this after I finished frosting all of my tears I like to put them to the side of this and see what I want to do be one over there and then do pick up a little bit because there's a lot of crumbs and then after that I will start actually putting things on the cake the cakes are all frosted now cleanup time careful okay so now that all of my cakes are ready it is time for the fun part so now I am going to start putting on the little utensils that I do you obviously can't touch him through the camera but if you guys can hear it like they're literally already hard so the Grinch is going to and now a little bit scared so the great is going to go on this one right here and I am looking for the prettiest sight to pop the Grinch which i think is right here this is addict ranch and I'm gonna grab again a little bit of water with my brush and then put it on the fondant so it can wake up the fondant a little bit and I can stick it to the cake so I'm trying to wet it make it sticky and then I'm going to place the Grinch I want for the Hat cast over this alga Paquito so I will place it right about there and hold it on so it really sticks to the cake there it is obviously this board is not gonna stay like this it is going to go staffed and um when I get the fondant I also added some funding to the back so the polito's would stick to it so now I just have to stick this to the side of the cake [Music] so I think the sticks are gonna be a little too long I might have to go in and cut the sticks when I see whoa okay so there we have the first here today is Thursday so I have to make sure it all seems pretty steady so I think it'll be fine that thing is going to follow up specially because the stakes are super long so it has a lot of support so do you guys see the vision of the Grinch okay so now the Grinch is done I'm going to move on to this one and the same thing I'm going to look for the smoothest side so that can be like the front I will use this as the front and if you guys remember you my little wannabe sketch it was how the baby cheese so Christmas right in the center and then on the side is going to be Cindy Lou and Max and then Cindy Lou is going to go on the right side and then Max is going to go on to the safe [Music] okay so this is the second tier in Japan go on top of this one that one is done I'm just missing the piping around the corner now this one is going to be the one that's a little more detailed so first I want to start with the who build houses and again I'm going to pick so no one the size I think is in the best sense okay so this is the front and then I have all my little gusty south wind is this one right here so I'm going to use this one as the central one a little bit of water and then start gluing the houses around the cake [Music] okay so now I got a piping back with some white I'm going to give the houses a mark or some snow this is tip Wilton 12 and then I'm just adding some snow like where the where the drawings have snow that's where I'm also putting in the frosting but now the snow is going to be frosting so like right here on the ladders but I still add oh this house you guys see how it has all that snow right there so I'm going in none of the letters and then on this side and then I'm just basically gonna do that all around the cake for all of the little houses just to make it seem like some 3d snow if that makes sense so just right there now all the houses have their little snow on the side I'm gonna come back to the front right here but I am going to add a little bit just like on that house it's so very little just to give it a little bit more of a 3d so I'm not going to cover up the black lines but I'm going to add a little bit just lightly so I can seem like some snow body [Music] okay so there are the little houses I added just a little bit of this No okay so now I'm going to start adding the icicles all around the corner I know the top is not smooth at all but I'm going to cover all of this with snow and then the second tier is going to be up here so all of this that you guys see that it's not smooth not so of it at all so do not to worry about that but for the icicles I'm gonna just start piping it and then slowly letting a load so I get a little puntito and then the same over here I'm gonna try and make some longer than others just so it gives us the illusion that I have icicles I [Music] don't like how this one looks and I kept going but it's really bugging me so I'm actually going to just scrape it off and then redo it laughter I did the little icicles I didn't record this sorry I forgot to but same tip I just went around and it kind of like swirlies just to add some snow my obviously didn't come all the way to the inside because I keep I eat a little cake but I was I was doing that my Grinch fell apart I knew I had a feeling this is going to happen but they don't say no because the funding is plugins are already oh but the Grinch hand literally broke as you guys can see right here this goes like this it's not the end of the world I can come up with something to do it together is my ethic I go I will come up with a solution up and then let you the update you face on that so this is it for the bottom tier iced over get away stop I'm gonna fill it up with snow and put some Christmas trees guys I'm gonna add some Christmas trees around so I am using these little ice cream cones and then I am cutting them down which is a little time taking also just because obviously it's they're super fragile so don't get Oh cuz I'm achy everyday I'm trying to be careful that I'm using this super sharp knife with a little brittle to cut them up so I just cut my last one one two three four five six and now I am going to pipe them into actual Christmas trees frosting I'm going in here and literally just adding frosting guys I'm sorry the lighting is not the best it's been dark for like the past five hours now so we only have the ring light to try and show you guys what I'm doing but this is just frosting this is a spatula and I am going to cover the board on it all in white and then I'm trying to give it some texture with the spatula as well to kind of make it look a little bit like snow so I'm going to be doing this all around the board and then once I am done I will be back to show you guys how I'm going to turn these into little Christmas trees so here are the little Christmas trees I already did two of them now I have three four more to pipe so I grab them from the tip this one is a tiny one and then I just start piping with a star tip and then this is the same green that I had left over that I used for the Grinch so I pipe all around Abajo and then I continue so at the end I place it where I want it I'm not gonna put one right in the center the next leg is gonna block the view so I'm gonna put it right about there and then finish the rest I don't do it all when it's on the board because it's hard but I yo cuz I can twist it and then the cake kind of gets in the way which is already not a big deal because I am literally almost done with it and then after you I will just do a big star and then lift it up so it gives it the little trio I have three more to go and then I'll be right back once they are all done okay the Christmas trees are all piped and laid down but it sounded weird no I'm I grab this little stiffener and it is powdered sugar so I am just going to do it over the Christmas trees so they look snowed on okay guys that is it for today I am exhausted okay all I'm missing now is to put the rods which takes a while on it I need a lot of work so I'm just gonna do that tomorrow when I am fresh I also have a lovely two days crossing my fingers on what happened with the hand worst case scenario I can just leave the Grinch like this and like not include the hag even though I feel like the hand it just gives like that extra pop so I will update you guys on that and then tomorrow I will be taking it to the ballroom setting it up and then looking at the final cake so I'll see you guys in tomorrow okay okay so day three and hot day mean today I'm gonna go and take it to the heart and put it to the other so all the cakes are missing now it's just this little brush so I can stop the cakes so I'm going to have to cut these and then put I'm going to put about five just gonna have like really good support five on this one and then about four on this one this one obviously is the top one so this one is not gonna have any install drops okay okay so plastic of tubes or whatever okay so this what it's done to the pudding seven now I just have to do this one and then we will be ready to take it to the settlement now I have the first one and look at the second one here is the second one it holds up my bail until the board that I used to frost the cake with an eight inch which is the exact same size as the cake so when I lift it up with a spatula [Music] you can see this what is look at this wave saw grab the spatula and another part work I'll push it a little bit that way just to make it center so it is pretty even and then to the menu which is obviously is to where we are at I brought my two Titans I'm going to use for each layer so I brought the green and the white then obviously the gravity is right here then for the white I'm going to use right here just to cover up the board and it doesn't look too messy so now I'm going to grab my white back and in height around they are almost done I am discussing the little money third year that I was able to make it work they got so so the way that I could it is I added some extra fondant to the back and then hoped and prayed that it was going to harden by today which it did so here is the little green trunk that broke on me yesterday now I just have to spit on the cake [Music] do you like a people I love it so yeah guys this is the cake it is pretty heavy but it is now since we are we are at the venue you are able to just carry it and move it around but I did not set up at the house and then put it in the car and the regular here because it was probably going to wobble like with a bump or something and Alex literally we've done that a couple of times ha like deliver taking cakes when they were already filled it it was not a good experience so I decide to put together here and here's the end of [Music] so I was afraid okay thank you so much for making my baby shower cake with me I hope you guys enjoy it do not forget to subscribe and click on the little bell right next to it so you can notify it every single time that I post I love you guys and I'll see you on my next little buggers [Music]
