I remember when I was stacking cakes for the first time before starting my business and how nerve wracking it was. Now it feels totally different. We all start from somewhere and get better with practice ;)

I find that a coarse emery board is great for evening up the ends of the dowel. As I often do my nails, it's a very natural process for me. 😁

Thanks for the detailed tutorial. A question, how long can a cake like this travel?

Thank you so much! I'm still kinda scared tho. Making my first tiered cake.

Thanks a million for this tutorial! You saved me. I had a few situations where the cakes collapsed and I could not understand why. Very embarrassing moment. Since I watched your tutorial and followed your advice, my cakes have been ok. I also purchased some sturdy plastic stacking cake plates for peace of mind. Thanks again!

Hi Lynz, absolutely love your videos, you explain everything in detail and make it easy for us to comprehend. May I ask if you use a glue between the ganache and fondant, eg brushing the ganache with water or sugar syrup? (Always seems such a shame to have huge holes in a lovely cake!) Thanks heaps, keep cool over there! X

Hi Sue, Thank you so much. I'm so glad you enjoy them. If I'm finding that my fondant isn't sticking to my ganache I usually mix a little water with some icing sugar to create a glue and brush this over the cake to help the fondant stick. I find just by adding a little icing sugar to the water it makes it a little stickier than just water on its own. x x

I found this really helpful thank you so much, could I just ask your advice on something please...I have to travel a two tier cake (the top tier is taller than the bottom one) for a 3 hour car journey, the day before the wedding, would you stack before or after arrival? Thanks x

Thanks a lot for the Tutorial.Is so helpful!I want to ask in which room temperature you leave the cover in fondant cake?

I've found your video really helpful as next year i'm making a wedding cake for a friend. I was wondering if you could answer some questions for me? The cake will be a 3 tier using fondant, would I need to crumb coat or is it OK to use apricot jam then fondant? Also if I'm going to sandwich the cakes with different flavoured buttercream, would it be wise to use a centre dowel? Many thanks

Hi Lyn. great video. So can you confirm that you did not use any centre dowels? I have 11 inch and 8 inch cake to stack, and it will be cover with a hybrid buttercream. Do you think i need to add a centre dowels for these cakes to stack? Thanks

Thank you for the video was very helpful. I just recall you saying the cakes should have a board underneath going ontop of the dowel I'm referring to the second and third tier.. But it doesn't look like you have boards under them.. Perhaps it is the thin one? Can someone clarify for me please.

Thanks so much ma, but can I use butter icing in place of royal icing?

Hi Lyn, really enjoy watching your videos! I have a question. When is the best time to stack your cakes? The day before or on the day? I’m afraid if I did it the night before it might bulge or slant. Thanks

Thank you for the video I have a question please After covering the cakes shall I put them in the fridge or just in room temperature?

Hola excelente tutorial !qué altura tiene cada piso ?

I wish the smaller drums had center holes for a center dowel. Maybe a hole can be drilled?

Hello there I was wondering if its recommended to dowel a traditional fruit cake. Thank you

this is great what about when you are transporting to a venue would you stack at the venue

@CakesbyLynz

3 жыл бұрын

Hi Helen, Depending on the design I have taken 3 tiered cakes to venues before already stacked if they have alot of decoration or things like sashes that go over all the layers, but if I can I always try and transport them smaller and stack at the venue, even if I have the 2 bottom tiers stacked and I add the top tier at the venue. For 4 tiers or more I have always transport these smaller and stacked at the venue. Always think about how far you have to travel and also the roads to get there, what will be best for the cakes. In the UK alot of wedding venues are down small country lanes which seem to have so many bumps, so it can be best to take them separate.

Pls if am using a luster dust and dragees, how will I do it? Because if I dust it first won’t it rough when placeing th dragees ?

can you please share your fondant recipe and gum paste recipe?

Hey... you videos are so helpful and explanations are perfect ☺👍❤.. need a small help when stacking a tier cake if the bottom and middle tiers are dummies and the top is cake. How to insert the dowel to the top tier without to be seen if no decoration on the top tier... ☺☺

@CakesbyLynz

3 жыл бұрын

Hi Dilshani, If its a 3 tier cake and the 2 lower tiers are made from polystyrene dummies you don't need to add any dowels into the top tier. If you wanted to add a dowel into the center if the cake for extra support to go through all 3 tiers you can fix the 2 dummies tiers together and add a dowel straight into the center of these. Add a small hole into the cake board that your top tier is sitting on and then lower this onto the dowel. Make the dowel slightly shorter than the cake and it won't poke out the top. I really hope this helps and makes sense.
