Beautiful! Glad the rain stopped also💕👍🏼 thanks for sharing

[@victoriasmith4208]

that was so beautiful and so easy to do (looks easy)

[@beloved6421]

I love it , I'm gonna do it for my sister birthday 💕

[@KidsBakingClub]

Wonderful!!! Send me a photo

[@peachygal4153]

My sister-in-law used to do wedding cakes. She made her icing out of Crisco, powdered sugar, and a touch of vanilla extract. Lol this was back when decorators made simple icing flowers and there was a bride and groom figurine on the top layer of cake.

Going to try this tomorrow as a practice run for my own wedding cake! Thank you so much!! 😊

[@KidsBakingClub]

Wonderful. Let me know if you need help!

[@shelbiegaines6660]

Today's Creative Food do you refrigerate your buttercream before frosting your tiers? Also, how long do you leave your cakes in the refrigerator after crumb coating before doing the final coat?

[@KidsBakingClub]

@@shelbiegaines6660 I do not refrigerate my buttercream unless using the next day (then I let sit out before frosting as cold buttercream creates streaks when frosting). I will usually leave the crumb coat overnight but if you are doing all in one day then keep in fridge for at least 2 hours to set before frosting - especially if a chocolate cake. Have fun!

[@pollypockets508]

That is so cool

Hello so glad I saw your video I’m gonna try this soon but I was wondering when you put the central dowel then how do you cut the cake? x

[@KidsBakingClub]

Great question. Most take the first tier off and cut it separately. It's messy but it's the best way to get both tiers cut. Thanks!

[@khriskeepers4041]

can you post the recipe for the icing you used on this wedding cake

[@rosefrench2814]

Thank you for showing me how to make that design! I could not find what it was called anywhere. It's going on a three tiered wedding cake for this weekend ☺️🌼

[@KidsBakingClub]

Wonderful. I love this design!!

[@jchinnock6395]

Did you use 2 layers or 3 layers for each tier?

[@KidsBakingClub]

Making a beautiful wedding cake is easier than it looks. Using my simple steps you can create a gorgeous wedding cake. Let me know if you have any questions.

[@alyssaallen8183]

Todays Creative Food what did you use to put on the cakes to make them white before putting the buttercream on ?

[@KidsBakingClub]

@@alyssaallen8183 I crumb coated the cakes with buttercream. Then put in the freezer to have the cake set before I frosted with buttercream.

[@alyssaallen8183]

Todays Creative Food awesome thank you so much!

[@alectomlin4465]

[@blessymat]

Hi would u be able to put a video on how to transport a 2 tier cake like this?and also how many layers of cake in each tier.thanx a lot!

[@KidsBakingClub]

Most two tier cakes I put the wood dowel through both cakes. I transport in level part of the car and usually put a beach towel underneath. I don't box them but I know a lot of decorators who do. If you use a box, cut the sides of one of them down to make it easier to get cake in and out. Also, I use 3 layers in my wedding cakes. Hope this helps.

[@barbaraholzmann946]

I wonder if you can show us how you transported this cake and also what size rounds you used to bake your cakes?

[@KidsBakingClub]

I transported as a two-tier in back of my car - no box. I used a 12 inch and 8 inch round. Thanks!

[@jacquelinedouglas3483]

Very Nice 😊

[@KidsBakingClub]

Thank you so much!

[@carmenherrera2191]

This is very beautiful... what size of cake pan are these... I made a cake for my daughters birthday but it slid all over the place. I love the flowers and the icing idea to cover the 2nd cake ..

[@KidsBakingClub]

This is a 8 and 12 inch cake pans. Putting the dowel in the middle makes a big difference, especially when delivering.

[@starlinerm.batistaarias8154]

Thank you so much! So patient and sweet voice to teach. Where can I get the center wooden dowel? I'm new at making cakes and I don't know where to get the dowels.

[@KidsBakingClub]

You can buy the dowels in a craft store or at a home improvement store. I have also seen them at Walmart in the craft section. Thanks for your kind words.

[@starlinerm.batistaarias8154]

@@KidsBakingClub thank you so much! Do they come food grade or do I need to do anything to them before I put it on my cake?

[@KidsBakingClub]

@@starlinerm.batistaarias8154 No, it's just wood so it is fine to put in the cake. It's like having food on a cutting board. LOL!

[@yenisoediro]

when you used the actual little pan to make an indent on the big cake i was like "ooh.. that's smart!" because i've watched several videos on other channels and they never done that.. and im a bit of a perfectionist with anxiety lol

[@KidsBakingClub]

Yes, me too. I’ve made to many mistakes. Lol!

[@ranjanarangra4212]

Hi , such a wonderful tutorial... just wondering how much frosting did u have to make for this cake . Would be very helpful if you can reply please.

[@KidsBakingClub]

On this cake I doubled my buttercream recipe - 2 cups butter, 8-10 cups powdered sugar, extracts. I also add shortening to allow a thicker buttercream if it will be setting outside.

[@bimscakesworld2771]

nice👍

[@KidsBakingClub]

Thanks so much!

[@peekaboots01]

That's a nice simple cake. Some of them are so elaborate that there are obscene.

[@ShatteredPerfection]

Hello! Beautiful cake! I’m doing my first cake next week, I’m wondering if you have cardboard on the bottom of the first tier? How you travelled with it (box wise or sitting, etc) as well as distance travelled as my cake has to go two hours…. 😬

[@KidsBakingClub]

Yes, I do have a cardboard round on the top tier. I buy the kind (Wilton) that has a hole in middle so I can put the stick or straw in middle so I can transport. I refrigerate my cakes before transport so it sets well while I travel. I just sit it on a towel in back of car so it doesn't move. Hope that helps.

[@ShatteredPerfection]

@@KidsBakingClub thank you so much, it did help and travelling worked perfectly! The cake was a hit!

[@KidsBakingClub]

Wonderful!!!!

[@alexandriahalford]

Is that an edible sharpie?

[@raquelbermejo1204]

Very pretty but some marker got on the cake. I can see it.

[@Clewis1294]

Hi do you have a link for the lazy Susan and what size?

[@KidsBakingClub]

I bought that 20 years ago from a wholesale company - CK products. I am not sure they sell those anymore.

@@KidsBakingClub I found a similar but smaller one at Marshalls. Thank you.

Do you have to use a cardboard under the on the second tier ?

[@ashleypenrod8313]

In your previous replies you said 12 and 8. I just wanna verify, it's 10 and 8?

[@jenniferdeanne6725]

How far in advance can you bake the cakes. I'm getting married on a Friday and attempting my own 😬 how far in advance do I do crumb coat? Same day? Night before? How long will it last in the fridge if I do it all. Like can I do it the night before (crumb coat, icing and decorating)? I'm attempting a smaller 2 tier- similar to what's in the video

[@KidsBakingClub]

I crumb coat night before. But you can a few days before. You can frost night before and refrigerate until event. Congrats!!!

[@elenaallard7994]

How do you make the cream?

How many people can you serve with this cake? I want to make it for my mom’s wedding but i’m not sure how cake sizes work

[@KidsBakingClub]

You can google cake size servings. Since this cake was higher than most cakes, it served 100 people with a 10 inch and 8 inch. Happy wedding day to your mom!

[@lucerocanales6648]

What's the price on that cake?

How many layers are the bottom and top

Both tiers are two layers but I cut one in half to create 2 filling layers on each tier.

[@hollyrichardson7121]

Very nice but is anyone else annoyed she got permanent marker on the cake???

[@KidsBakingClub]

I don't think so. I took it out before stacking the cake.

[@sthiggs79]

This comment is annoying.. She is doing a tutorial and of course, she wouldn't deliver a cake with permanent marker on it.....

[@hollyrichardson7121]

Sthiggs79 I never said she would. Even if it is just a tutorial. It’s a full blown cake. Not plastic but a WHOLE CAKE. She clearly made a cake for something or someone. You can even hear her say “The person who wants this cake...” should tell you she made it for someone. Just because I was annoyed with it doesn’t mean everyone was. Being a cake baker myself and having a child it could be harmful.

[@hollyrichardson7121]

Sthiggs79 it’s a pretty cake no lie but you cannot say it’s okay. So you can find my comment annoying but it’s my opinion and feeling. I didn’t attack her at all so you shouldn’t either

[@LeighanneMH]

Usually people use edible ink pens so it was odd to see a sharpie but not the end of the world I guess 🤷‍♀️

[@jenniferbezkorov1601]

Oh no you put marker on the bottom cake D:
