How To Stack A Tiered Cake | Georgia's Cakes

Hi Everyone!
It's been a while....but I'm back in my new kitchen giving you some of my most requested videos, starting with how to stack a tiered cake.
I bet you didn't realise how much DIY goes into something like this, but follow my step by step guide to ensure your cakes never collapse!
I would love to know what you think of the video. Like I mentioned, it's a new approach to filming (and my fridges love to rumble) but I would rather do this than not produce any videos for you..!
Enjoy! x

I don’t know what your audio setup is like but a lavalier mic (pretty cheap, clip to your collar and plug into your cam) is great at getting rid of some of that background white noise.

But my question is whether it's a bad idea to use chiffon cakes in layering or would it work the same with sponge cakes? Thanks! ☺

    Hello! I'm making my first 3 tiered semi-naked cake this week & found your tutorial immensely helpful, thank you! Regarding the center dowel - I noticed yours barely went through the top tier, and I'm wondering if my dowel is too long now (I thought it was supposed to go almost to the top of the cake). Should I cut mine further so it only comes up 1-2 inches into the top tier as yours did? Thank you very much for your video(s)!
