1:20
[Music]
1:25

1:28

1:31
i'm paula dean it's very nice to meet
1:33
you jerry nice to meet you paul i'm glad
1:35

1:37
unexpectedly on you we love unexpected
1:39
visitors
1:40
i'm having a birthday party okay at my
1:43
house
1:44
and i just wanted to come by and see if
1:46
you could give me a few tips on cake
1:48
making i would love to we'll do a nice
1:50
little cake for you for today
1:52
what are you making here this is a
1:55
italian meringue buttercream icing that
1:57
i'm going to apply
1:58
to the base of this cake
2:00
and i'll show you how easy this is done
2:03
this is a little cake turntable that i'm
2:05
using and i'm spreading the icing as i'm
2:07
turning the cake on the turntable and
2:10
it's kind of a nifty little thing to use
2:12
to make sure i get a nice
2:14
smooth outer coating on the cake itself
2:17
so it looks a little bit rough now you
2:19
can see that but i'm going to show you a
2:20
secret
2:22
that's what i want to know this is
2:24
very very hot water and i'm going to run
2:26
my spatula under that hot water and
2:28
being that we've got our icing that's
2:30
made with butter if you take a look here
2:33
it's going to melt the icing just enough
2:36
ever so slightly as i run the spatula
2:38
around to make it perfectly perfectly
2:41
smooth
2:42
i wondered how y'all got it now you know
2:45
my secret
2:47
now that looks much better than when we
2:49
first started
2:50
lisa then went on to show me a few of
2:52
our other decorating secrets like these
2:54
adorable little sugar doe dots and
2:56
stripes that really spruce up any cake
3:00
but you know hands down my favorite was
3:03
lisa's beautiful edible roses
3:06
one of the most popular types of flowers
3:08
is an icing flower which is made with
3:11
icing of course buttercream icing
3:13
you can use royal icing as well and it's
3:16
made with the pastry bag and this is
3:17
called a rose tip and you can do
3:19
different types of flowers with this
3:21
rose tip most importantly of course is a
3:23
rose and you make a little base with
3:25
your icing and then you twirl it around
3:28
and then you put on of course
3:31
consecutive petals let's just make like
3:33
a nice little rosebud
3:35
and then we have this other nifty little
3:36
tool
3:38
that removes it from the cake
3:41
and you can adhere it right to the edge
3:43
of the cake
3:44
lisa also showed me how to put on a
3:46
fancy icing border that's not only
3:49
beautiful but it also helps to hide the
3:52
cracks
3:53
and finally lisa gave me some of these
3:56
real pretty little flower sprinkles to
3:58
use at home
4:00
but you know i really couldn't get over
4:03
the beauty of lisa's cakes
4:10
you're truly an artist
4:12
thank you i'm so glad you came today
4:15
it's just amazing we'll put it right in
4:18
a box for you lisa i i can't thank you
4:21
enough you've just made a special day
4:23
even more special will you enjoy it
4:25
thanks so much you're very welcome enjoy
4:28
the rest of your day oh you too bye-bye
4:30
now bye-bye
4:34
[Music]
4:43
wasn't that just amazing what we found
4:45
at sweet lisa's i couldn't believe it
4:48
i've got the cake here
4:49
and i'm going to just tuck it away in
4:51
the refrigerator
4:54
and we'll open this up a little bit
4:56
later
4:59
i'm going to show you my son jamie's
5:01
favorite birthday cake every time he has
5:02
a birthday he says
5:04
mama please make me my coconut cake and
5:07
this is so easy it's a
5:09
basic one two three four cake the reason
5:11
it's called a one two three four cake is
5:14
because it calls for one cup of butter
5:15
two cups of sugar three cups of flour
5:18
and four eggs so there's your one two
5:19
three four so we're gonna start
5:24
by creaming one cup of butter
5:34
we're gonna add two cups of sugar
5:37
[Music]
5:42
and we're gonna add four eggs to this
5:45
but we're gonna add them one at the time
5:52
one more
5:53
and the other
5:56
and there goes the last one
6:06
all right now we're going to start by
6:07
adding our self-rising flour and our
6:10
coconut milk so here we go
6:31
and last i'm going to add one teaspoon
6:33
of vanilla
6:41
and you're ready to load your batter
6:43
into your cake pans now i like to use
6:48
a little container with a handle on it
6:51
like this
6:54
and i'll start
6:57
with one cup
7:01
one cup for your next one
7:04
and so on and so on until you've got
7:06
them all filled
7:07
and i'm going to take the spatula and
7:09
just work the batter out to the edges
7:13
i'm going to pick them up
7:15
and drop them
7:18
and it's going to bring the air from the
7:20
cake
7:21
to the surface and you can see the air
7:24
bubbles
7:25
coming up
7:27
and it'll just give us a little bit more
7:28
level cake
7:30
these are ready to go in the 350 degree
7:32
oven
7:47
all right those are safely in the oven
7:49
i'm going to cook them for about 25
7:51
minutes but
7:53
in the other oven
7:55
i have some that should be about ready
7:59
and they are
8:02
you can see that they've started pulling
8:03
away from the pan
8:05
which lets me know that they're ready
8:12
they look
8:14
just delicious
8:17
when we come back i'm gonna show you how
8:19
to turn those cake layers
8:21
into a mouth-watering coconut cake
8:32
[Music]
8:34
we're back and i've just cut a few
8:35
strips of wax paper right here and in a
8:38
few minutes i'm going to show you what
8:39
i'm going to do with them but in the
8:40
meantime i'm going to show you how to
8:42
make the most delectable filling for
8:45
this cake we're going to start with
8:47
sugar
8:50
sour cream
8:56
coconut
9:00
and a little milk
9:05
all right we're ready to start stacking
9:07
now
9:11
so we're just gonna
9:14
flip that out like that thank goodness
9:16
it came out nice
9:18
and we're gonna take our wax paper now
9:21
and just slip it
9:23
a little under the edge of our cake
9:26
and this will help
9:28
keep our plate clean
9:30
now we're going to take that cake layer
9:32
and i like using a wooden spoon i like
9:35
about this size i like for my holes to
9:37
be really big
9:39
so it can seep down in there you can use
9:41
a
9:41
a fork or a toothpick but i found the
9:44
bigger the hole the better the cake
9:47
then we're going to take our filling
9:51
and just spoon it look at it you can see
9:54
it running down into those holes
9:56
moistening that layer from top to bottom
10:01
there we go
10:05
and on this layer we're going to start
10:07
with our toothpicks so you'll have to
10:08
alert your guests
10:10
to be on the lookout for toothpicks
10:13
because you don't want your cake to
10:15
look like the leaning tower
10:18
we're gonna
10:19
do the same thing all over again
10:23
and another layer of filling
10:26
all right we're ready for the final
10:28
layer now
10:43
now the secret to this cake is letting
10:46
that cake marinate in the refrigerator
10:48
for three days
10:50
and hope nobody's gonna touch it
11:02
and you know i was prepared
11:05
so i have one right here that's been in
11:08
there
11:09
just drinking up that filling
11:12
you can see by this it's not a beauty
11:15
but we're going to fix that because
11:16
we're fixing to make a divinity icing
11:18
that we're going to cover this cake in
11:21
and you won't believe the transformation
11:23
it's going to be like putting on our
11:24
makeup
11:26
and this is so simple to make
11:28
we're going to start with
11:30
egg whites
11:33
sugar
11:36
pinch of salt
11:40
about
11:41
a fourth of a teaspoon
11:43
of cream of tartar plain old water
11:48
so we're gonna beat this for one minute
11:59
so that's been about a minute and at
12:01
this point we're going to use the double
12:03
boiler method and we're going to sit
12:05
this bowl on top of rapidly boiling
12:07
water and i'm gonna set my timer
12:12
for seven minutes
12:17
and we're gonna beat this
12:24
okay our seven minutes is up
12:27
i heard our timer go off
12:29
and now i'm just gonna add a little bit
12:31
of vanilla to it and i'm just gonna
12:33
gently stir that in with a spatula
12:39
and we're going to start by putting some
12:42
up on the edge
12:44
and then we're going to bring it
12:46
slowly bring it down
12:49
we're going to make sure that frosting
12:51
goes all the way to the bottom and
12:54
covers up every crumb of our cake
13:02
kinda looks like marshmallow heaven
13:06
all right now we're just going to bring
13:08
that
13:11
icing on up to the top
13:16
there's only one thing left to do and
13:18
that's to put the coconut on the top
13:23
kind of just press it in against your
13:26
cake so when you get through you're
13:28
gonna have a little frosting probably to
13:30
lick off
13:32
looks like a big snowball doesn't it
13:36
this cake is ready
13:38
so now we're just ever so gently
13:41
gonna slip our wax paper out from
13:43
underneath that layer and we have a
13:45
clean plate
13:47
what a great trick that is
13:49
you know it's just great having two of
13:51
everything
13:52
that means i can taste this one
13:55
here we go
14:09
i'm in heaven
14:12
so gummy
14:15
the adults really love this cake and i
14:17
can't have a party without making the
14:20
kids something extra special too so
14:22
we're fixing to make ice cream cone
14:24
cakes
14:26
so i'm gonna need y'all's help see you
14:27
in a minute
14:30
[Music]
14:32
okay we're ready to get those ice cream
14:34
cone
14:35
cakes ready for the kids and you know
14:37
i'm really not going to a whole bunch of
14:38
trouble because they're going to be
14:40
eating them so fast and running and
14:42
laughing and playing they're not gonna
14:43
know that i didn't make them from
14:44
scratch
14:46
so all we're gonna do is start with our
14:48
favorite cake mix
14:54
three eggs
14:55
[Music]
14:57
now you can jazz these
14:59
cake mixes up a little bit
15:02
usually when i
15:03
use a cake mix i'll add four eggs
15:06
to just give it a little bit more fluff
15:08
but for these ice cream cake cones it's
15:10
gonna be just perfect this way but i am
15:12
substituting the water for milk
15:16
now there goes our oil
15:18
and i do like to add about a teaspoon of
15:20
vanilla
15:29
okay i think it's been about four
15:31
minutes now that should be ready
15:35
so all we're gonna do at this point is
15:36
fill up our little cones
15:40
i'm going to fill those not quite full
15:43
about two-thirds to three-quarters of
15:45
the way full
15:51
and these are ready to go in the oven
15:53
and we'll start checking them about 10
15:55
minutes
16:03
oh
16:07
and i've got another batch right over
16:09
here that should be about ready
16:12
oh and those look good
16:18
the batter kind of came out on some of
16:21
them that's great
16:22
and i've got some sitting right over
16:24
here
16:25
that's already cool they're cool enough
16:27
for us to go ahead and frost
16:29
and i'm gonna use a very quick icing
16:32
today actually i've gone to a canned
16:35
icing so i've got my pastry bag loaded
16:37
with chocolate icing
16:40
and i'm using a star tip
16:43
so we're just going to pick these up
16:50
and just start rolling our icing on
16:54
and then when we get around here we're
16:56
going to move on up top
16:59
cone around just like this
17:07
until we get a nice little
17:09
curly top on it
17:13
some kids like chocolate and some kids
17:15
like vanilla so we're going to do some
17:17
of each we're gonna try to please the
17:19
whole gang
17:27
okay i've got two of these frosted and
17:29
i'm gonna put some of these wonderful
17:32
little sugared flowers that lisa gave me
17:36
and i'm going to want to put them on
17:37
there before the frosting hardens
17:41
it won't take me any time to decorate
17:43
these and when i get through i'm gonna
17:45
come back and share a few more baking
17:47
tips with you and then we gonna have a
17:48
party
17:54
[Music]
17:59
[Music]
18:07
ice cream you scream we all scream for
18:09
ice cream and i don't know of a soul
18:12
that doesn't love those ice cream cone
18:14
cakes and when you go to dip it up
18:16
another great topping is toasted coconut
18:20
it's so delicious
18:22
and when you're ready to tote those
18:24
cones out to the children at the party
18:26
if you have an old ornament box from
18:29

18:31
