I love cake.

How long do you typically keep the cake in the fridge before stacking, so not to ruin the icing

Where did you source the cake smoother from?

Hiee , thank you for explaining in detail. Just one question..if i can use ganache as a filling . And buttercream as an frosting . Can I use this technique of stacking the cake ? Or is it necessary to use centre dowel for ganache filling and buttercream frosting.

This is very useful video tutorial👍🏻 Do you give a certificate at your school? Thank you!

Now cream cylinders and covering plates available with soft decorative that adher to the cake with beatiful looks

Omg so informative, I have to do this myself then. It’s so so expensive for a two tier cake. Thank you 🙏 so much. Wish me 🎂 🍀

Nice can you make video on how to make cake filling

This is a great tutorial. I have my first 3 tier wedding cake to do this week and so happy I found it! Thank you!!! One question though....didn't see you secure the tiers with a dowel going through the middle of the top tier all the way to the bottom. Isn't this necessary?

@BritishGirlBakes

7 ай бұрын

You can use a central dowel but it's not always necessary. If you keep the cake refrigerated until transporting and use buttercream to "glue" each tier in place and transport the cake on the flat surface, there is no reason for the cakes to slide around

Do you recommend trimming the sides of cake before frosting

You make it look so easy! Trying my first two tier this weekend and I'm a little scared! Also I have the same turntable as you!

Is there a tip to frosting the outside and preventing the cake layers from sliding and becoming off balance? Even though I chilled the cake, the icing didn't set well and caused the layers to slide all over the place.

KIS4Beauty you probably need a stabilized buttercream or high ratio buttercream

Isn't harder to frost the top cake on the same shape board?

You definitely don't have to use buttercream to stack cakes but if you use a soft frosting like whipped cream, which doesn't set and harden like buttercream does when it's cold, you won't be able to touch it as you're lifting or lowering it so you'll have to rely on your spatula or cake lifter to balance and adjust it.

hi! if its a three or four layer 6 inch cake, how many straws would you recommend to place so it doesnt tip over? thank you!!!

Won't the butter cream of the down tier stick to the bottom of the top tier?🎂

Which buttercream do you use ? Mine even after refrigerating I cannot hold it de way you do

@chelseaward1529

Freeze it! Long enough that it doesn't leave fingerprints. Then get it in the fridge after stacking to thaw. Then room temp for reduced condensation.

I chilled the cake in the fridge for a few hours before stacking the tiers and the frosting gets really hard while it's cold and then softens when it comes back to room temperature. I used my 4 Minute Buttercream www.britishgirlbakes.com/recipes/buttercream-frosting/

Please advise for a 2 tier is it necessary to put a dowel in the centre through to both the tier cakes

@BritishGirlBakes

2 жыл бұрын

I don't usually for 2 tiers. If you have dowels in the bottom tier that will hold the top tier in place. If you're transporting a long distance it can be a good idea for extra stability though.

@dawncompton82

This is new to me. Don't you have to use a board under the top tier? So then you couldn't put a dowel thru both cake tiers, right? I'm making my niece's wedding cake, with cream cheese frosting, so I'm trying to make sure I get it right.

No center dowel?

Why are you cutting off the bottoms rather than the domes? It creates gaps between the individual layers?

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thank you, just made a big mistake and I had to start over

I have a really stupid question. Sorry, but it is not clear to me: do you put the second tier on the first tier with a thin cake board or is it really just the cake you place on the top of the dowels? I assume you remove the entre board right, there is no thin cardboard layer remaining on the cake?

@BritishGirlBakes

2 жыл бұрын

Great question! Yes, the top cake is still sitting on its cake board, which is the same width as the cake so you don't see it :)

Watching your channel is self care for me

What happens if your stacking swiss meringue buttercream is it safe to let the cake lean on you in your hands? Won't that mess up the frosting?

@raidernation956

Same as regular buttercream after it has hardened you will be able to handle it. With no mess. Thats why you need to let it chill.

Do you always use cake boards to stack cakes .

Yes, because if you don't have a cake board underneath the top cake then it will sink down into the dowels or straws in the bottom cake

Yes! Great question! The top cake is on a cake board the same size as the cake, so it's not visible after stacking but it provides stability because the straws or dowels will hold it up. If you didn't have a cake board, the straws/dowels would push into the top cake and the top cake would sink down into the bottom cake

And each Dowels are only measured the same of the cakes too ? Its not like the dowels are going down to penetrate the other cakes right ?

Why your not putting any long dowels from top going to bottom?is that ok?

How i wish our buttercream will set just like that😍 you can even hold the cake without anu buttercream transfer in your hands.we are in tropical country and the moment we let the cake out in the fridge it melts

I've baked a lot and done some simple frosting but came here when searching for info about stacking a cake. My daughter is getting married in October and has asked if I'll make her cake. I've never stacked a cake before and to say I'm nervous is an understatement!! One question - if you were doing a wedding cake would you stack it at the venue or before transporting it? I think transporting it is my biggest worry!!

@BritishGirlBakes

2 ай бұрын

Great question! I think it depends on how many tools you plan on travelling with and how much time you have at the venue, because stacking and doing the touchups between tiers requires that you have both of those things. Also, the cake will need to be very cold for stacking and doing the touchups without damaging the frosting, so it's only possible to do it at the venue if the transport is a short distance and you can keep the cake very cold. I personally assemble the cake the night before and chill it overnight so that it's as stable as possible for transporting. I have tutorials on how to stack a tier cake here: Part 1 kzread.info/dash/bejne/hp57y8GjZLa6lJc.html and Part 2 kzread.info/dash/bejne/gKdrzZaxj7OrkZc.html

If you chill the cake and spread buttercream in between the tiers to attach them, as well use using support dowels or straws in the bottom tier and keeping the top cake on a cake board the same size as that cake, and then chill the cakes until transporting, the tiers will not move. I have delivered two and three tier cakes along bumpy roads all over the country and I have never had a problem. But if you want to use a central bowl you absolutely can!
