Welcome to Man About Cake, a weekly YouTube show full of laughs… and tiers. Kick it with our Caked Crusader, Joshua John Russell.
Episode descriptions
Your suggestions and votes from the MAC flavor contest inspired this piña colada cake! JJR channels the taste of the tropics with coconut and pineapple atop textured buttercream tiers.
Geometric cutout cakes are all the rage. JJR takes on tiled fondant and custom toppers for a modern kids' birthday cake design (sprinkles included).
Freezer overflowing with cake scraps? No problem; these "garbage cake" mint chip ice cream sandwiches will be gone in a flash.
JJR is celebrating Valentine's Day (a little) differently this year. If you're feeling anti-Valentine's yourself, get the recipes and everything you need to make this cake!
What to do with all that leftover garbage cake? Make these chocolate-dipped not-ice-cream-cone treats (a JJR original creation).
No time to cure your sugar lace? Premade edible lace is the way to go (JJR treats his with airbrushing and a shabby chic design).
No piping? No problem. Check out JJR's cake hacks to make a faux piped royal icing cake accented with a sugar poppy.
