Doughnut Cake DIY Video

All right you guys it's that time again! I got my coffee cup, I got my fuzzy slippers AND I got the house to myself! Y'all know what that means. It's time to get my cake video fix!

First things first. I owe you guys a huge thank you. Most everybody else on the planet if you'd caught them watching YouTube cake videos in the middle of the day while wearing fuzzy bunny slippers you could accuse them of full-blown laziness. But thanks to you guys I get to call this research and development.

So while I was toiling away ”researching and developing” I came across this amazing video by my friends at How To Cake It. This video was all about one of my favorite trends in cake design, the doughnut cake. Now I'm not sure what evil genius in some hidden mountain lair, came up with the idea of taking an amazing dessert and turning it into another amazing dessert but that person deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. There's just a simple beauty and elegance in the idea of taking a cake and turning it into a doughnut that leaves me awestruck and reaffirms my belief in a higher power. Hi, my name is Daniel and I'm a cake-a-holic.

Here's a little-known fact. Before I was cake-a-holic I was an athlete. Before every big game our coach would sit us down with some game footage to help us get psyched for the big day. It's a habit I still include to this day. So before each game, every competition and damn sure before every Black Friday you can find me watching footage to get psyched and put me in the zone. We have a client coming in a couple of weeks who requested a doughnut themed shoot and I immediately went looking for a video to help me get my game face on.

That’s where I found today's video by How To Cake It.

This video is a step by step, white knuckle, helmet slamming, primal screaming foray into the competitive world of doughnut cakes. So go put some black buttercream frosting under each eye. Grab a glass of Merlot for each fist and get fired up because it’s doughnut go time baby!

Later,
- Daniel

PS
