How to Bake a Wedding Cake:
2x 6" round cake pans
2x 8" round cake pans
2x 10" round cake pans
Cake boards (6", 8", 12")
Vanilla cake batter (or any flavour that you prefer)
Vanilla buttercream
Wedding Cake Recipe Procedure:
Preheat oven to 350F. Grease and line each pan with parchment, or wax paper. The 6" pans will require 2 cups of batter each. The 8" pans will require 3.5 cups of batter each. The 10" pans will require 6 cups of batter each.
Bake the 6" pans in the oven for 25-30 minutes.
Bake the 8" pans in the oven for 35-40 minutes.
Bake the 10" pans in the oven for 55-60 minutes.
Allow each to cool completely on a wire rack before proceeding to coat in buttercream.
Attach one 6" cake layer to the 6" cake board, using a swipe of buttercream to "glue" it to the board.
Cover the top of the cake with a layer of buttercream, and then place the second 6" layer on top.
Cover the whole cake in a crumb coat (thin layer) of buttercream.
Repeat for the 8" and 10" cakes.
When the crumb coat layer has crusted, you can apply the second and final layers of buttercream. Smooth the buttercream using a metal spatula.

Hi Taylor, did you have cake baking experience before this? I have no cake baking experience but I want to make a one-tier fancy cake. Would it be easy to make it look nice?

[@andreastone8763]

Oh my, every video I've been watching your tutorial explains it so easily, especially with the measurements and the pan sizes. I will be following your channel. Thanks ❤🎉

[@CookingAndCrafting]

Holy mackeroli. 12-18 cups of buttercream. Times possibly 3 cakes. Amazing. This was fun to watch, even though I know all of this. I kept thinking, "haha, it's not me making that right now." (lol)

Can you pls show me the methods

[@erinlaurent1492]

Thank you so, so much for this! I am getting married July 16th in Paris and though the French have some great bakers, they're not used to making "American" wedding cakes. I told my fiancé (who's French) that my only real request was that we have an American wedding cake (and not a "croquembouche" like the French normally serve at weddings). We found a baker near our venue who's willing to try to make a tiered cake, but wanted as much information (recipes, advice, etc.) I could give him. I'm just going to send him here to your youtube channel and ask him to follow your videos to a T. Thank you so much for these videos -- even with the language barrier, the visuals will help immensely! ~Erin

[@charlieandrin1370]

Hello how are you doing, hope you are enjoying your wonderful and blessed weekend?

[@beautygeek4]

Every single one of your videos leaves me craving sweets!! I love your videos and have learned so much from them (especially lots of self control haha!!!). :D

[@marbleworld81]

Hi Jen! I can't tell you how much I love your tutorials! You are so cheery and not to mention very well spoken. I really enjoy watching them, thank you! This particular tutorial provided me with information that, as a home baker, I've wondered for quite some time. Thank you, thank you!! I was asked to make my first wedding cake coming up in August. I am beyond excited but terribly nervous. Can you offer me any tips on creating a semi-naked wedding cake? Also, how many cups of batter would you say to use in a 9 inch pan?

[@yariburgos3473]

my 4 and six year old love sitting with me and watching these videos you put up. do you have one that shows how to coat a cake in fondant? I looked but I may have missed it.

[@Marieluz818]

Thank you .. I always enjoy your tutorials ! :)

[@ChristBella]

Well explained and well done. It came out beautifully as well

[@pipari100]

I noticed that you don't moisten the cake. What kind of batter are you using? I mean, I always add some liquid on those cake layers to make it nice and moist.

[@kabalikbayanjapan-pinas6295]

Notice that too. Looks hard

[@hollyhutchinson9073]

You've never out so simple for me. Thank you so much.

[@hollyhutchinson9073]

Sorry , you made it so simple for me I meant.

[@sarajohnson2928]

No freezing/chilling the cakes before each coat of frosting?

[@melaniebresnahan4893]

Cookies Cupcakes and Cardio Hi Jen, how many wedding sized servings would the 10, 8 & 6 provide? I have my first wedding cake order and i need to serve 75 comfortably. One vanilla cake, one chocolate cake and one diabetic friendly vanilla cake all covered in buttercream except the top tier which will be the diabetic one. It's a Harley Davidson cake. Really excited but very nervous. It's for the 18th of July so i'm baking today :-)

[@fadwaelyattouti3398]

It serves 82 ppl. But you're making an extra cake si it'll work (ps: i saw in one of her comments that it serves 82 ppl, so i'm not really sure)

[@kendradavis9695]

Thank you that was very helpful but I wish you would have showed us how you got smooth sides and a smooth top.

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

Kendra Harris If that's something enough people would like to see, I'll definitely make a video for it!

[@koskaloca]

Cookies Cupcakes and Cardio I definitely want to know how to do it, as is part of the process, I was actually looking to see how to smooth it =)

[@stephaniebronson8454]

Cookies Cupcakes and Cardio obviously if you think you need to show and tell people the simple stuff like crumb coats, cake boards, cutting the uneven top off,,, well,, common sense says they would need to know how to flat ice a cake as well

[@celestenai6643]

[@megmananquil4893]

Hi i have a few questions. 1.) Can i make this a day ahead? 2.) Can i use chocolate mousse or cheesecake in between the layers? Do you think they will hold? 3.) Other than sponge cake is there any moist-er-ish, or softer cake that can hold 3 tiers? Thank you thank you thank you and thank you so much for this video. I find that your videos are the most informative.

[@marinadorthez9612]

Questions: do you not freeze your cake layers before you crumb coat, and again before doing final butter cream icing?

[@dbarnes66]

You didn't show how you smooth the icing on your cakes. You went from showing how to apply the crumb coat to all three cakes being smooth. How did you smooth your buttercream on the cakes?

[@edwardngobeni3030]

baking is very interesting I love it

[@venusmedler1876]

How many batches of your vanilla cake mix did you have to make to get all of these cake baked? And are these wilton pans? And are they two or three inches deep? What if I have two inch pans? Thanks

[@MrSimonious]

Wax paper should only ever be used in cold applications, otherwise the wax WILL melt. Parchment for hot applications. Beware! When the wax melts in the oven it dissolves into your cake! Yuk!

[@sunshineinthekitchen4409]

QUESTION:) when you say 2 cups of batter for each top tier. are u referring to liquid or dry measuring cups to measure the batter?

[@CatsArtsandCrafts]

Liquid

[@sashaurban2348]

[@wendyx2489]

Thank you for your time and knowledge. I really wanted to know the ratio of batter to each size pan, now i know ❤❤❤❤

[@JPD-23]

Why does the dough look so gummy and stiff?

[@snippetsofvictoria]

For a wedding cake, you usually end up having to use a firmer cake batter so that it results in a firmer cake because it will hold up better to stacking.

[@danalewis8502]

Jan Davis

[@lmal8207]

Jan Davis i asked myself the same question. All my cakes are sponge cakes and they are very smooth batters. my Chocolate cakes are made with a really runny chocolate batter and is super moist. Shes probably using a pound cake recipe but any recipe is fine. As long as u support and dowel it correctly your good to go. Also for wedding cakes u should always use a drum board that is 4 inches bigger then the cake so u can get a good grip when ur holding a really heavy wedding cake. i work in a wedding cake shop :)

[@danadi06]

Jan Davis can I please have you're cake recipe 😊

[@brigittavanherk5090]

This cake will be dry and not very tasteful, I'm afraid. The cake layers are too thick in comparison to the layers of buttercream and lack moisture. I would suggest thinner layers and jam. Even wedding cakes don't need to be so compact as you support each layer anyways.

[@50sRockChick]

This series is so helpful. I wondered if using square pans instead of round ones would the quantities of cake mix be the same? Thank you. :)

[@naisharuiz989]

How come you didnt use simple syrup so that it would stay moist

[@rhiannons9452]

Naisha Burgos-Cortes it depends on the cake,,some cake recipes stay moist even after a while so that was probably why she didn't use simple syrup

[@jenniferherzog8718]

I never need simple syrup. If you have a good cake recipe, you don't need it.

[@gigglemama111]

I think she should have removed the caramelized part of the cake but idk!!

[@jenniferherzog8718]

gigglemama111 There are usually several "pet peeves" of mine that I see her do/Not do in her videos. I just chalk most of it up to differences in the way ppl work. But sometimes it's just general sloppiness or shortcuts that I can't deal with.

[@Ms.VofSew]

Hai I love your videos it's worth watching for I'm vina from Philippines may I know how many cups of flour you' ve use for your 3 tier cake and how many total recipe of batter needed for your 3 tier cakes thanks

[@sharmillamaharaj3708]

this was the worst cake I ever made in me life.....it was rubbery and stiff....and had to still use it .....I had to put lot of frosting to it.....

[@chocokittythefabulous6286]

[@nicorobin7211]

i have never wanted to try her recipes cz the second i seen her batter, i knew it would be dry/doughey. I do appreciate her videos tho

[@createitandloveit]

Jen, I was just wondering if you ever use a custard filling, or do you usually just use buttercream in between the layers. Can you maybe show us sometime how to do a tiered cake with a filling?

[@charlieandrin1370]

Hello how are you doing, hope you are enjoying your wonderful and blessed weekend?

How do you clean the icing off of your boards, so that it looks nice around the cake, after you've coated it in buttercream? Thanks.

[@javeriahabbasi9870]

Hi! Its a really nice video. I have one question though. As I have a single oven and I can bake one cake at a time, can I keep excess batter till one cake bakes? I have small cake pan so some batter is left.

[@acraftymrs]

Hello, love you videos, so helpful - thank you so much for posting! I am making a wedding cake and my layers are 26cm, 22cm and 18cm - do you have any idea how many cups of batter I would need for each?

[@annielynn8730]

Thanks GOODNESS I found this!! I’m the cook for our social group and stupidly was like “yeah I can do the cake as a wedding gift no problem” Wedding is in two days. Every other tutorial went totally over my head (I cook, I don’t bake) and looked like a fortune in equipment. But I can do this. This is doable. You have completely saved my ass.

[@piptwigdraws]

How much butter Cream frosting do you make in the video where you show us how to make vanilla frosting? How many cups?

[@cherriefic]

Hi. I've been following your video for some time now and I hope you can give me advice urgently. I am going to bake three 6" cake and kind of confused as to how much ingredients should I put up to? your video said at least 2cups of batter in 6" pan? is there a specific ratio of ingredients for that or you just made one whole batch of batter and measured it by cups for each of your pans? thanks.

[@charlieandrin1370]

Hello how are you doing, hope you are enjoying your wonderful and blessed weekend?

[@BennyBoy_1010]

Hello there - Thank you for your tuturials - they helped me tremendously, as I am a beginner baker - my question is: Is it ok to bake 2 pans at once to save time - or do I have to bake all 6 layers at different times. I apologize if you already answered this - I looked and couldn't find the answer.

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

Jewel Burgess I had a cake business previously, so I have many pans of many sizes, so I would fill each pan with the required amount of batter, and then put as many into the oven as would fit. I hope that answers your question. Good luck!

[@BennyBoy_1010]

Yes, that helps a lot! thank you. and keep making those wonderful videos.
