- Hey y'all I'm Paula Deen,
0:03
and I sure hope y'all can keep a secret
0:05
because I'm throwing a birthday party.
0:07
And boy, do I have some good stuff up my sleeve,
0:11
but first I want y'all to follow me
0:13
to one of the sweetest shops I know
0:14
for some cake decorating tips
0:16
that's going to knock your socks off.
0:18
And then we'll head back home
0:20
and I'll show you the cake that keeps my son
0:22
Jamie coming back to mama's for his birthday every year.
0:26
And don't blink 'cause it's finger-licking frosting
0:29
and filling is seven minutes from start to finish.
0:33
And last but not least, a backyard carnival complete
0:36
with my famous cake filled frosted ice cream cones.
0:40
So y'all put on your party shoes and leave your diet
0:43
at the door, 'cause today, we're celebrating.
0:47
Today is a very special day.
0:49
We're celebrating someone's birthday
0:52
and I want everything to be perfect.
0:54
I heard about this girl named Lisa
0:56
that supposedly makes spectacular cakes
0:59
and I'm going to go see her and just see
1:02
if she will share with us a few of her trade secrets.
1:05
And I really would like for y'all to come along with me.
1:08
So let's go, let's get going.
1:16
- Hey.
1:17
- Hi there. How are you?
1:17
- How are you?
1:18
I'm looking for Lisa.
1:20
- I am.
1:21
- I'm Paula Deen. It's very nice to meet you.
1:24
- Very nice to meet you, Paula am glad you found us.
1:26
- I'm just popping in unexpectedly on you.
1:29
- We love unexpected visitors.
1:30
(both laughing)
1:31
- I am having a birthday party,
1:33
- Okay.
1:34
- at my house, and I just wanted to come by
1:37
and see if you could give me a few tips on cake making.
1:39
- I would love to, we'll do a nice little cake
1:41
for you for today.
1:43
- What are you making here?
1:44
- This is a Italian meringue buttercream icing
1:48
that I'm going to apply to the base of this cake.
1:51
And I'll show you how easy this is done.
1:54
This is a little cake turntable
1:55
that I'm using and I'm spreading the icing
1:58
as I'm turning the cake on the turntable.
2:00
And it's kind of a nifty little thing to use
2:03
to make sure I get a nice smooth,
2:05
outer coating on the cake itself.
2:08
So it looks a little bit rough now you can see that,
2:10
but I'm going to show you a secret.
2:12
(Lisa laughs)
2:13
- That's what I want to know.
2:14
- This is very, very hot water
2:16
and I'm going to run my spatula under that hot water
2:19
and being that we've got our icing that's made with butter.
2:22
If you take a look here,
2:23
it's going to melt the icing just enough.
2:27
- [Paula] Ever so slightly.
2:28
- [Lisa] As I run the spatula around to make
2:30
it perfectly, perfectly smooth.
2:33
- I wondered how y'all got them so smooth.
2:35
- Now you know my secret.
2:36
(both laughing)
2:38
- [Lisa] Now that looks much better
2:39
than when we first started.
2:40
(Lisa laughs)
2:41
- [Paula] Lisa then went on to show me a few
2:43
of her other decorating secrets.
2:45
Like these adorable little sugar dough dots
2:47
and stripes that really spruce up any cake.
2:51
But you know, hands down,
2:52
my favorite was Lisa's beautiful edible roses.
2:57
- One of the most popular types of flowers is
2:59
an icing flower, which is made with icing,
3:02
of course, buttercream icing.
3:04
You can use royal icing as well.
3:06
And it's made with the pastry bag
3:08
and this is called a rose tip.
3:09
And you can do different types
3:11
of flowers with this rose tip.
3:12
Most importantly of course is a rose,
3:14
and you make a little base
3:16
with your icing and then you twirl it around.
3:19
And then you put on of course, consecutive pedals.
3:22
Let's just make like a nice little rose bud.
3:25
And then we have this other nifty little tool,
3:28
that removes it from the cake
3:32
and you can add here it right to the edge of the cake.
3:35
- [Paula] Lisa also showed me how to put
3:36
on a fancy icing border.
3:38
That's not only beautiful
3:41
but it also helps to hide the cracks.
3:44
And finally, Lisa gave me some of these real
3:47
pretty little flower sprinkles to use at home.
3:51
But you know I really couldn't get over
3:54
the beauty of Lisa's cakes.
4:01
You're truly an artist Lisa.
4:03
- [Lisa] Thank you. I'm so glad you came today.
4:05
- [Paula] It's just amazing.
4:08
- [Lisa] We'll put it right in a box for you.
4:10
- [Paula] Lisa, I can't thank you enough.
4:12
You've just made a special day, even more special.
4:15
- You enjoy it.
4:16
- Thanks so much.
4:17
- You're very welcome.
4:18
Enjoy the rest of your day.
4:19
- Oh you too.
4:20
- Bye-bye now.
4:21
- Bye-bye.
4:29
Wonder its just amazing what we found at sweet Lisa's.
4:32
I couldn't believe it.
4:33
I've got the cake here and I'm going
4:35
to just tuck it away in the refridge.
4:40
And we'll open this up a little bit later.
4:44
I am gonna show you my son Jamie's favorite birthday cake.
4:47
Every time he has a birthday, he says,
4:48
"Mama please make me my coconut cake".
4:52
And this is so easy.
4:53
It's a basic one, two, three, four cake.
4:56
The reason it's called a one, two, three, four cake
4:59
is because it calls for one cup of butter,
5:01
two cups of sugar, three cups of flour and four eggs.
5:02
So there's your one, two, three four.
5:05
So we're going to start by creaming one cup of butter.
5:11
(cake mixer whirring)
5:20
We're going to add two cups of sugar.
5:26
(cake mixer whirring)
5:28
And we're going to add four eggs
5:29
to this, but we're going to add them one at a time.
5:32
(cake mixer whirring)
5:37
One more, the other.
5:42
And there goes the last one.
5:43
(cake mixer whirring)
5:51
All right.
5:52
Now we're going to start by adding our self-rising flour
5:54
and our coconut milk.
5:56
So here we go.
5:58
(cake mixer whirring)
6:16
And last I'm going to add one teaspoon of vanilla.
6:19
(cake mixer whirring)
6:27
And you're ready to load your butter into your cake pans.
6:30
Now, I like to use a little container with a handle on it.
6:37
Like this, and I'll start with one cup, one cup
6:47
for your next one and so on and so on
6:50
until you've got them all filled.
6:53
And I'm going to take the spatula
6:54
and just work the butter out to the edges.
6:58
I'm going to pick them up and drop them.
7:03
And it's going to bring that air from the cake
7:07
to the surface, and you can see the air bubbles coming up
7:12
and it'll just give us a little bit more level cake.
7:15
These are ready to go in the 350 degree oven.
7:33
All right, those are safely in the oven.
7:34
I'm going to cook them for about 25 minutes,
7:37
but in the other oven,
7:40
I have some that should be about ready.
7:44
And they are, you can see that they've started pulling away
7:49
from the pan, which lets me know that they're ready.
7:57
They look just delicious.
8:02
When we come back, I'm going to show
8:04
you how to turn those cake layers,
8:06
into a mouth-watering coconut gag.
8:10
I so hope y'all are enjoying the show.
8:13
And if you do.
8:15
Be sure to click like, subscribe and
8:17
notification bell so you'll never miss a video.
8:21
And we'll be right back after the break.
8:29
We're back and I've just got a few strips
8:30
of wax paper right here.
8:32
And in a few minutes, I'm going to
8:33
show you what I'm going to do with them.
8:34
But in the meantime, I'm going to show you how
8:37
to make the most delectable filling for this cake.
8:41
We're going to start with sugar, sour cream,
8:50
coconut and a little milk.
9:00
Alright, we're ready to start stacking now.
9:05
So we're just gonna flip that out like that.
9:10
Thank goodness it came out nice.
9:13
And we're going to take our wax paper now
9:15
and just slip it a little under the edge of our cake
9:20
and this will help keep our plate clean.
9:24
Now we're going to take that cake layer.
9:27
And I like using a wooden spoon.
9:29
I like about this as I like for my holes to be really big.
9:33
So it can seat down in there.
9:35
You can use a fork or a toothpick
9:37
but I found the bigger, the hole, the better the cake.
9:42
Then we're going to take our filling and just spoon it.
9:47
Look at it.
9:48
You can see it running down into those holes.
9:51
Moistening that layer from top to bottom.
9:56
There we go.
9:59
And on this layer, we're going to start with our toothpicks.
10:02
So you'll have to alert your guest to be
10:05
on the lookout for toothpicks.
10:07
'Cause you don't want your cake
10:09
to look like the leaning tower.
10:13
We're going to do the same thing all over again.
10:18
And another layer of filling,
10:21
all right, we're ready for the final layer now.
10:37
Now the secret to this cake is letting that cake marinate
10:42
in the refrigerator for three days,
10:45
and hope nobody's going to touch it.
10:57
And you know, I was prepared.
11:00
So I have one right here.
11:01
That's been in there, just drinking up that filling.
11:06
You can see by this.
11:08
It's not a beauty, but we're going
11:10
to fix that because we're fixing
11:12
to make a divinity icing that we're going to cover
11:14
this cake in and you won't believe the transformation.
11:18
It's going to be like putting on a makeup.
11:21
And this is so simple to make.
11:23
We're going to start
11:24
with egg whites, sugar,
11:31
pinch of salt,
11:34
about a fourth of a teaspoon
11:37
of cream of tartar, plain water.
11:43
So we're going to beat this for one minute.
11:53
So that's been about a minute.
11:55
And at this point we're going to use
11:57
the double baller method and we're going to sit this bowl
12:00
on top of rapidly boiling water.
12:03
And I'm going to set my timer for seven minutes,
12:11
and we're going to beat this.
12:13
(egg beater whisks)
12:19
Okay. Our seven minutes is up.
12:22
I heard our timer go off
12:24
and now I'm just going to add a little bit of vanilla to it.
12:27
And I'm just going to gently stir that in with a spatula.
12:34
And we're going to start by putting some up on the edge
12:38
and then we're going to bring it slowly, bring it down.
12:44
We're going to make sure that frosting goes
12:46
all the way to the bottom and covers up
12:50
every crumb of our cake.
12:57
Looks like marshmallow heaven.
13:01
All right now we're just going to bring that,
13:05
icing on up to the top.
13:11
There's only one thing left to do
13:13
and that's to put the coconut on the top.
13:18
Kind of just press it in against your cake.
13:21
So when you get through, you don't have
13:23
a little frost probably to lick off,
13:26
looks like a big snowball doesn't it?
13:30
This cake is ready,
13:33
so now we're just air it so gently gonna slip
13:36
our wax paper out from underneath that layer.
13:39
And we have a clean plate.
13:42
What a great trick that is
13:44
you know, it's just great having two
13:45
of everything, that means I can taste this one.
13:50
Here we go.
14:04
I'm in heaven.
14:07
So yummy.
14:10
The adults really love this cake and I can't have a party
14:14
without making the kids something extra special too.
14:16
So we're fixing to make ice cream cone cakes.
14:21
So I'm going to need, y'all's help, see you in a minute.
14:28
I hope y'all are enjoying the show
14:30
and I want to hear from you.
14:32
Tell me what recipes or videos you'd like to see me
14:35
make by just leaving a short comment below.
14:38
Now, let's get back to the show, y'all.
14:45
Okay. We're ready to get those ice cream cone cakes
14:48
ready for the kids.
14:49
And you know, I'm really not going to a whole bunch
14:51
of trouble because they're going to be eating them so fast
14:54
and running and laughing and playing.
14:56
They are not going to know that
14:56
I didn't make them from scratch.
14:58
So all we going to do is start
15:00
with our favorite cake mix.
15:06
Three eggs.
15:10
Now you can jazz these cake mixes up a little bit.
15:14
Usually when I use a cake mix,
15:17
I will add four eggs,
15:19
to just give it a little bit more fluff
15:21
but for these ice cream cake cones
15:22
it's going to be just perfect this way.
15:24
But I am substituting the water for milk.
15:29
Now, there it goes our oil.
15:31
And I do like to add about a teaspoon of vanilla.
15:37
(cake mixer whirring)
15:42
Okay. I think it's been about
15:43
four minutes now that should be ready.
15:47
So all we're going to do
15:48
at this point is fill up our little cones.
15:53
I'm going to feel those, not quite full
15:56
about two thirds to three quarters of the way full.
16:04
And these are ready to go in the oven.
16:06
And we'll start checking them back 10 minutes.
16:16
Oh
16:20
And I've got another batch right over here.
16:22
That should be about ready.
16:24
Oh, and those look good.
16:31
The batter kind of came out on some of them.
16:33
That's great.
16:35
And I've got some sitting right over here.
16:38
These already cool.
16:39
They're cool enough for us to go ahead and frost
16:42
and I'm gonna use a very quick icing today.
16:46
Actually I've gone to a canned icing,
16:48
so I've got my pastry bag loaded
16:50
with chocolate icing and I'm using a star tip.
16:56
So we're just going to pick these up.
17:03
And just start rolling, icing on.
17:07
And then when we get around here,
17:08
we're going to move on up top,
17:11
coning around just like this,
17:20
till we get a nice little curly top on it.
17:25
Some kids like chocolate and some kids like vanilla.
17:28
So we're going to do some of each.
17:30
We're going to try to please the whole gang.
17:39
Okay. I've got two of these frosted
17:42
and I'm going to put some
17:43
of these wonderful little sugared flowers that Lisa gave me.
17:49
And I'm going to want to put them on there
17:50
before the frosting hardens.
17:54
It won't take me any time to decorate these.
17:56
And when I get through, I'm going to come back
17:58
and share a few more bacon tips with you.
18:00
And then we go have a party.
18:05
I so hope y'all are enjoying the show.
18:08
And if you do.
18:09
Be sure to click like, subscribe and
18:12
notification bell so you'll never miss a video.
18:16
And we'll be right back after the break.
18:23
I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream.
18:26
And I don't know of a soul that doesn't love
18:28
those ice cream cone cakes.
18:30
And when you go to dip it up,
18:32
another great topping is toasted coconut. It's so delicious.
18:37
And when you're ready to take those cones
18:39
out to the children at the party,
18:41
if you have an old ornament box from Christmas,
18:45
it works great to touch your cones in.
18:48
I think I finally got everything ready
18:50
for the birthday party.
18:51
This magnificent cake that Lisa gave
18:53
me is out of this world.
18:54
And Jamie's favorite coconut cake
18:56
and this adorable little ice cream cones for the kids.
18:59
In fact, speaking of kids, I hear them now.
19:01
So I'm going to have to run.
19:03
(gentle music)
19:16
Hey kids, kids y'all ready?
19:22
Who is ready for ice cream cone cakes?
19:24
Come on.
19:26
All right. Now, listen, I want you
19:27
to do something for me though. Okay?
19:30
I want y'all to remember your manners,
19:33
and let's line up in an orderly fashion. Okay?
19:36
Everybody gets in line.
19:38
'Cause everybody's going to get one. Okay?
19:41
So until next time America,
19:43
best dishes from my kitchen to yours.
19:46
Okay, darling, what do you want?
19:47
Chocolate or vanilla?
19:50
There you go.
19:51
- Please may I have chocolate?
19:52
- Yes, you might but you know what,
19:53
you have to pay me for this.
19:56
Do you know how you have to pay me?
19:58
- Yeah. I give you a dollar.
19:59
- No darling, you have to give me a kiss.
20:03
