In today’s bonus video, my friend and assistant Kelly Haines Collins is joining us to teach us how to make a layer cake. Kelly is a trained pastry chef and has much more experience than me in building layer cakes.
I asked Kelly to show us the basics of filling, crumb coating, frosting, and decorating a layer cake. She breaks it down step-by-step for us and this cake is perfect for a birthday, a smash cake, or any celebration!

If you don't want to use regular food coloring, the strained juice from blackberries will give a similar purple color to the frosting in the video. For the buttercream, margarine can be used if there's no butter available.

Yesterday, I frosted my grandaughter's birthday cake it turned so bad. Some part of the side of the cake the frosting is moving away from the cake because it does'nt stick. Good I found your video and I'll try your technique how to frost a cake. Mam, what's the reason why some of my frosting does'nt stick in my cake? Please help me. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge in this kind of job. ♥️ and God bless 🙏.

[@Crossword131]

@4:42 you say to hold the scraper at "about a 45° angle." If its straight up and down, that is a 90° angle. Are you talking about the orientation of the scraper to the flat surface beneath the cake or hold it at a 45 against the side of the cake as you turn it?

[@BakerBettie]

thanks!

[@mrswray]

I’m trying to do a home made cake for my sons birthday.. I found a recipe I wanted to use for the icing that has cream cheese in it bc buttercream is usually too sweet for us… do you think it will be hard to frost with?

[@ashleerobinson5]

How do you get the cake to stop showing through ! This is a beautiful cake as well

[@BakerBettie]

Thanks! I would suggest a 1/2 inch thick of buttercream on the sides and apply light pressure when smoothing it out. Don't scrape so much that you reach the cake.

[@earlwilliams1576]

Really excellent video. Thank you.

[@BakerBettie]

Thank you Earl! Glad you liked it!

[@gaidemirchyan8781]

Try Fantasia Fondant, you won't regret it. It is a very forgiving fondant with a long work time, which makes it easy to work with for beginners and pros. Fantasia Fondant is formulated with elasticity making it a high performing fondant when covering cakes or performing in silicon cake molds. The colors of Fantasia Fondant are vivid and fadeproof. This fondant will not prematurely dry, crack, tear, break and 'elephant skin.' Offers a less sweet taste that resembled a homemade marshmallow fondant.

I want to be a Baker when I grow up and I think this is really going to help I am 9 years old and thank you if you are reading this 😁😁

[@BakerBettie]

You can do it! Keep practicing!

[@aeriheirsling2735]

Question? Why do you level off the cake layers? Could you not have done the parchment with a dot of frosting to hold in place, then frost the layer? What pans did you use and what cake mix? Seems to me you could have used the third layer flipped from the pan with the bottom side up. It looks beautiful with the star flowers on the top! When you scrape the sides too close you should put a marzipan or fabric ribbon around the "seam". Looks good! Dig in?!

[@BakerBettie]

By leveling the cakes you create a flat surface when stacking. If you didn't you would have a dome shape in the middle of your cake. Yes, you can use a dot of frosting to keep it on the parchment. The recipe for the cake and full tutorial is linked in the description box.

[@MarvinParchment-f7b]

That buttercream looks thick. But still looks delicious.
