How to Make a Layer Cake for Beginners

[@shaffergirl1732]

I worked for a bakery. They used a textured paper towel while they gently smoothed to leave a slight impression on the icing. It actually looked great.

Wow! What a helpful video! I never knew that you should chill cake layers prior to frosting and that there was such an animal as a cake leveler

[@BakingButterlyLove]

Oh yeah, cake levelers are a game changer when you have lots and lots of cakes to make!

[@85NDanielle]

Hi there, For this first time last week I was excited to use my cake scrapper (new baker here 🍰🤗) but I kept taking off more frosting then necessary 😩. I think I was definitely holding it up against the cake to hard. Practice makes perfect, thanks for the tips.

[@dreamznaspiratons7064]

Honestly this is perfect. Thank you

[@kaiterodriguez7714]

[@producedinLA]

You are adorable and so well-spoken.

[@samanthalopez4874]

Such a great and easy tutorial! ❤

[@rayvenn28]

@BakingButterlyLove Thank you for the really helpful video❤ When we take our cake layers out of the fridge to frost, do we need to let them sit out for 10-15 prior to frosting still wrapped up? Or do we take the plastic wrap off and can frost right away? 🫶

[@tyradiola]

Watching before making my grandmother’s birthday cake later today!

[@hillarydesmond-mcnaughton8839]

Oh she'll love that!

[@SoMuchLove5]

Great video! You break things down so nicely

[@the.messy.cookie]

Oh my gosh you’re so wonderful! I love your videos - thanks for the tips!

[@Evan-f4u]

Thank you so much, this really helped but I think I made the final layer of icing a bit too thin because a bunch of cake bits were visible but it still turned out great🎂

[@petermckernon1202]

Really excellent video. Really clear and concise. Thank you.

[@mofearless9125]

[@debtink5756]

Thank you for a great tutorial I seem to never get it smooth drives me crazy 😜 I also want to ask how can I get this Swiss meringue buttercream white? Would it work if I used half shortening? Thanks in advance

[@brittniekerzich368]

Thank you for taking the time to do this video. Super helpful! I have one question: when baking the cake layers the day before, when do you wrap them to put in the fridge? Do you wait for the cakes to completely cool or slightly warm to keep some moisture?

[@mishili]

Thanks for the video and tips, you are awesome!

[@rakeshsingh-pp1lb]

Thank you so much for the video...you can't imagine how badly I cry for trying this 😭 it help me alots.... thank you so much.you are a great teacher ❤️

[@rachelhaidee4541]

[@katesylvan1802]

Hi! I'm wondering if you could comment about freezing cakes before using vs just refrigerating- i hear that esp in hot climates, frosting a thawing cake is easier

[@kittywafffles]

Thank you so much for making this!!

[@blessedchild2107]

Very helpful!!🤌

[@shayelyse]

[@retreatsoapco.1347]

You make it look so easy!

[@jx861]

Hey! Love the video! Can I ask what size pans used for the cakes? 😊

[@blankitapimentel6801]

Gracias muy útil 😊 donde puedo ver la receta del pan por favor 😊

[@parinazmousavi8393]

Thanks for this great video. I have a question. My family don’t like butter cream. Can I use whipped cream that I sometimes use for cupcake or whipping cream with cream cheese? I whip the 33%cream and beat it with cream cheese and icing sugar and forms well. If I can use that instead of butter cream are all the steps exactly same as this video? Thanks

[@marymcguire5214]

Thank you ❤

[@amberlon]

What size cake pans are you using? Please help!!

[@soylizpaspur]

I don’t know how to deal with the temperate in my kitchen in winter it seems like it melts while I decorate… 😢 please any tips?

[@gizempreciado4526]

Thanks!❤

[@tanyapeschel6025]

Hello.. i have to bake a 4 layer 10inch cake. Is it necessary to insert dowels to keep the cake straight up?. The layers will be about the height of your cake layers

[@loveeara]

Do you wrap the cake while it’s still hot? Or cool on counter first?

[@tiajuana3232]

Do you wrap the cake immediately after flipping them out of the pan

[@Dayspring77]

I’m going to be making my sons birthday cake. I wanted the inside to be carrot cake and vanilla . My question is would I still use buttercream for the outside and does it taste well together ? Ty in advance for the answer. I have no baking experience 😅

[@elizabethportbury6252]

Can I have your cake recipe they look so light and fluffy

[@jade.luvs.you3]

questions while watching- what can I use other than plastic wrap to cool them, I don't have any handy

[@lindseymac10]

Do you have a link for the tools you use?

[@ChallengeYourWalletAarynLynn]

Where did you get the metal spinner?

[@Leela1210]

Would this work with cream cheese frosting?

[@denisec7717]

When the cake is chilling, the rest of the composition (buttercream) is at room temperature?

[@vickirushing8298]

I have made cakes for decades with no issues with the frosting. BUT, just recently I tried a checked board cake ( made a trial then the actual). Stacking was ok. After frosting and decorating the icing/decorating slide off the cake pulling the cake off with it! I was horrified! Did this with both cakes. What a mess. Any idea what I am doing wrong? I am soon making a baby carriage cake and do not want a repeat. Help, please. PS I will never do a checkerboard or layers again.

[@amybrown7766]

Why size cake pans do you use for this size cake?

[@kevinwarner959]

Looks like 6 inch

[@virgoheartofgoldj9949]

What inches in pan do you use for the cakes?

[@kimarlyfrancis4193]

What’s the recipe for your butter cream

[@hayleykenyon7477]

Does this go hard in the fridge

[@mariakeenan4908]

Can you wrap while they are still warm? or is it best to wrap when completely cool?

[@js_somi]

I think when it completely cool because if it’s warm it’s gonna kinda melt the plastic wrap, it’s just better to do it cool. 🌸

[@evarivera3846]

it’s best to wrap the cakes when they are about 10 minutes out of the oven. so yes wrap them when they are warm because the plastic wrap will lock in than moisture and keep the cake nice and moist. and then chill in the fridge for an hour. happy caking!

[@christopherallencomer5738]

Thanks God blesd

[@ednaldojosedasilva15silva50]

Essa hora boa

[@npeebs7]

What is the little cardboard plate that goes underneath the cake called? I want to order one so I start decorating cakes but I don’t know what it’s called

[@tomdrake5462]

Cake board I believe

[@rebeccaxx]

needs more filling! 😄

[@taressaressa3572]

Baking two 8 in cakes, is that considers one layer or two?
