If you use one straw to measure your other straws from, your cake will be level even if the bakery cake isn’t you can fill in gaps with frosting.

Im about to buy a Circuit and I live in a retirement community. I have told the dining room that I will make cake toppers when each person's birthday is celebrated. Now I'm on the cake decorating videos, lol. The internet web still exists! So easy for me to get side-tracked. I truly wish I had access to videos like this when I was raising kids. I got by but would have saved a ton of energy baking, leveling the cake, the crumb coat to seal, etc. Nice video!

How does this not have a gajillion views, great tutorial.

[@juliekoester7776]

You just blew my mind! That cake is beautiful and I can’t believe that you can do that! I would’ve NEVER thought of this! You did a phenomenal job! Thanks for this video!!!

[@NeuroticMomBakes]

You are so welcome!

Love Love Love this tutorial ❤❤❤ I’m sooo doing this for my wedding. Thank you for the easy to follow instructions

[@Nitra813]

Listen you just saved me some time. I tried a strawberry cream cake last minute from Walmart for my daughter’s princess themed party. It was surprisingly very good. It did not taste like generic as I thought. We are celebrating our 10-year wedding anniversary in a couple weeks and I completely forgot about the cake! I have tons of baking tools on hand and we make a lot of food from scratch so I’ll be trying this this weekend 👍🏽

[@cw4091]

So what you do with the straws is: you cut the first one, PULL IT OUT, and measure the other straws to. match that one. Then stick them all in the tier.

[@cw4091]

Also, you need to trim the second and third tier cardboard to be the exact size of the cake.

[@amaebarnes]

That's what i was wondering about. I honestly didn't even know that there were cardboard between each tier on a tiered cake

[@kaybonette]

Your cake is low on one side because you should measure your center straw and then pull it out and cut all your straws to the same length. The way you did it your straws are different lengths and makes the cake uneven. Cover your straws with more icing to fill in any gaps.

[@MariaNyceDesigns]

So lovely!!! Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful tutorial!!! Blessings & hugs!!!

[@clarem9374]

Gorgeous!

[@Karime70]

I do recommend a wooden dowel in the middle of the three tiers. Came out beautiful Amy😍😍

[@reneshay889]

@NueroticMomBakes 😍💓❤️💓❤️👍😊👍 OMG THIS TURNED OUT SO BEAUTIFUL! YOU ROCK AND ARE A GENIUS! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO! YOU JUST CHANGED MY LIFE AND INSPIRED ME SO MUCH! THIS VIDEO IS A GAME CHANGER! I LOVE THE FRESH FRUIT AS DECORATIONS ON THIS CAKE! We are currently planning our 30th wedding anniversary celebration with a 2nd vowel renewal ceremony. I'm going for a Boho vibe. Our 29th anniversary is coming up soon and I make a basic regular boxed cake or buy a Walmart one every year for our celebration for 2 but I have never done this. On our 25th anniversary I made a 2 layer DIY anniversary cake with boxed cake mix and some canned frosting we bought at Dollar Tree and we bought some Dollar Tree silk sparkly red poinsettia flowers and sparkly silver leaves , and a pretty ribbon to wrap around the cake and used our original cake topper from our wedding day and a chalkboard tag to write the year (25) to decorate it and I got so many compliments on my FB and IG photos and little video I posted of it on there too. I am not a professional baker and it was the very first time I decorated a cake on that level. I'm just a Mom/Wifey who loves beautiful and delicious cakes and my cake decorating skills are level beginner beginner anyway our 25th anniversary cake I made turned out way better than I thought it would and my hubby was inspired by my creativity ( he is a former chef of 30+ years but not a baker) and he jumped right in and helped like trimming ,leveling our cake, stacking the cake and helping with frosting it and since I still don't have a fancy spinning cake frosting stand or plate he helped with creating a beautiful way to display it for my photos and video . We used a big silver charger plate from Dollar Tree to put the cake on and then placed it on a satin red runner we folded up that we use at Christmas time on our desk mantel to display Christmas decorations on. We were both so impressed by our beautiful DIY home made 25th anniversary cake and we had so much fun creating that memory together. And it was also a very delicious moist cake too. I've made a few of our 29 year old daughters and our 37 year old son's birthday cakes from the time they were very little up to the teen years using boxed cake mix, can frosting and purchasing Walmart cake candy or their favorite candies for decorations or little toys or other things they were into at the time to decorate them. They were never even close to this level just your basic Mom baked/decorated cake with love and they turned out cute but this here is beyond next level and I can't wait to try this! I've been watching DIY wedding cake videos all night and saving ideas for our 30th wedding anniversary Vow Renewal cake ideas and looking up recipes for cakes for our upcoming 29th anniversary and for our 30th next year that I was hoping I would be able to do. I have Autoimmune Disease, multiple chronic intractable pain afflictions that affect my mobility daily so I rarely can cook or bake etc so seriously you don't even know how life changing this is. And I definitely will be doing this as a 2 or 3 tier cake for our 30th anniversary Vow Renewal Wedding Day for sure! And this year I'm thinking about making hubby's favorite cake pineapple upside down cake but I want to make it a 2 layer wedding cake with Buttercream frosting and some decorations. I don't think they make Pineapple Upside Down Cakes at Walmart or else I would do this with a pineapple upside down cake as a single tier cake for our upcoming 29th anniversary. I'm so inspired I don't think I'll sleep tonight LOL 😂 P.S. You just saved me so much money on my anniversary and upcoming Vow Renewal Wedding Cakes ❤️

Loved Loved your video simple to fallow I can’t wait to try making my own Anniversary cake for January 2023 with store bought cake’s Thank you for your time

[@veronicastephens5408]

Absolutely beautiful..Love from NJ 💜.

[@adelinateves-revis5323]

Thank you for an EZ tutorial. Trying to do a wedding on a budget, avg. base cake $150-176. Outside my budget so again THANK YOU! ❤ the results. Off to give it a try ...😅

[@ithirstyforknowledge]

Thanks a ton

[@sarahs7253]

So does the straws 9n the cake layer under the cardboard supposed to hold up the cake above it? Or do they keep the layers from shifting?

[@amittrivedimotivationalspe9866]

Ma’am just you are great 🥰🥰🥰

[@kittychops09]

How do you keep the strawberries from browning? Use a pectin preserve dust or soak in lemon juice?

[@pettytoni1955]

Great hack!

[@elaineolson3693]

I can't seem to get to your links. Loved the video. I just got asked to make a cake for a friend's wedding in 2 wks First ever!!! What is your buttercream recipe?

[@FrancesStuart]

I love your videos

[@mightyduck311]

This is so cool. You did such a great job! That cake looks so lovely

[@debramoore4949]

Awesome cake Amy! So pretty and easy.

[@ElizabethMartinez-rx9mg]

great tutorial! any tips to transport this cake?

[@cindys2995]

I'm wondering if adding sugar to that pre-made frosting would be tooo sweet - unless they make a sugar free one.

[@classicalmloo1216]

Would it be a bad idea to keep the straws longer and set the cake on top of them so that they piece the bottom of the top tier?

[@jamifitz]

I loved seeing how quickly this came together and how easy you were able to dress it up Amy !! I hope youre feeling well & as always thank you for sharing !! Love it !!! Maybe add some little silver or gold leaf to add some bling too ?! 😊🤷 for those that like that anyway... Id do silver personally, gold is over used imo 😉 Also, where can I find your p.o box info ? Id like to send you a little something Im having made. Please let me know if thats possible. 😊

[@NeuroticMomBakes]

I no longer have a PO Box. It got too expensive to maintain I’m sorry

[@jamifitz]

@@NeuroticMomBakes Ah.. I understand but thats too bad. 😕 If you ever get another or have another way I can send you something please let us know. 💕

[@jennifernguyen7973]

do you have the recipe for the frosting

[@sarahs7253]

Can we use a mi rowave plate for the bottom cake drum?

[@helenewebster9462]

Very impressed❗❗❗👰🏾🍓🎂

[@BubbleB0T]

I’m getting married next year. Hypothetically if this were to happen would you get some compensation for not getting the original cake? Of course if this happens the safety of the baker is 100% the most important thing. However, I’m spending quite a lot on my cake and wondering what the best situation is regarding money in this case. Xx

[@arlenegojocco7518]

Great job! Great ideas! I would request that you do a closeup while you're decorating the cake to better view the process. Thanks.

[@victoriasmith4208]

Why u didn't removed the cardboards on each cake?

[@Samantha-zn1hl]

It makes the cake more stable! When they cut the cake, they’ll remove each layer and cut separately :)

[@wandaevans9569]

She said so it would stick better

[@panchaliIP]

Very nice cake :))

[@jessicafromtexas2868]

Beautiful , Cake and fruit together yes please

[@cometasporelcielo]

I love your name, as it also describes me :o) love the tutorial too

[@themovement1092]

Adorable 🍓 🫐🍓🫐

[@abidingonthestraightandnar5330]

Love it really pretty, but I would charge more than $75 because you have to include boxing, and your expertise in assembling, and other miscellaneous things I would say $100 which is still reasonable 😊

[@kauser1239]

Beautiful but took 45 mins inc feeezing time🎉

[@ritanurul8340]

[@rayva1]

This was a 20 minute video. I would say with the refrigeration added, this would’ve taken a total of 30 minutes to complete.

Nice, for an example, just make sure you are doing the real/final product that you aren't using the same kitchen towel to wipe your tools with as the same towel you're cleaning your counters with. 😳

[@anahash3221]

yes and in addition to that i hope she cleaned the plastic covering the cake came in because she washed her hands and then opened the packaging, and also those cardboards how clean are they from the bottom because they are left sitting on each tier , but idea is really nice👍
