You are a wonderful speaker and teacher! I will never look at a wedding cake the same way sgain! Keep up the good work and many blessings.

[@ShonteWingfieldHeavenbound]

I just love your teaching method and how calm and transparent you are

[@thesugarpres]

I’ve been doing cakes for almost 10 years and have to say this was the most detailed and helpful video I’ve ever watched on how to stack a cake. Would have loved something like this way back when I was just learning. Great job!

[@WhiteMountaingirl]

I agree, this video has made my life easier!

[@rosiereed5487]

you're. not doing good in stocking.

This is best tutorial I’ve ever seen! It’s extremely comprehensive. There are so many tutorials that show making layer cakes but fault to mention anything about the use of dowels. That is an absolute essential when making a layer cake and I can only imagine how many people are trying to make a layer cake and wondering why their cakes have slid sideways or have been crooked!

[@mishee40]

This is one of the best tutorials I have ever watched. You just helped ease my anxiety about the cake I have to stack tonight. Thank you so much

[@MenchyCBT]

Long time waiting for a tutorial like this… it was worth the wait and the search. The best ever, thank you.

[@deloresmuckenfuss850]

Best tutorial I've ever seen for instruction and explanation.

[@crystalross4044]

Hello, From: HOUSTON, TEXAS, IM SO glad I found your channel , I do only a cakes for my grandkids and I know i have sp much to learn by seeing you in this video, I learned alot, I'm going to watch your other videos! You are a joy to learn from, GOD BLESS YOU AND FAMILY!!AMEN. TYFS 😊

[@celestesassine2345]

Oh my GOODNESS!!!!!!! WOW WOW WOW THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH. I'm doing my 1st 2 tiered birthday cake on Saturday. I was feeling a bit nervous but now I feel I GOT THIS!!!!! THANKS

[@gsd7421]

I've looked at a number of videos for the same advice, and yours is excellent! I wasn't sure about the dowel/straw decision, but you've convinced me to use dowels, and you explain how many per layer - so helpful. Inserting a pointed dowel in center at the end through layers and through the cardboard is great b/c, as you said, aligning predrilled holes is more stressful, I think. I'm excited to try this for my first 2-tier cake. I would LOVE to see how you box this 3-tier and how you deliver in your car. Thank you, thank you.!!❤

[@alicebeyer3217]

Wonderful how do you deliver it?

[@sandrabibby1518]

Great video and love the amount of dowels for the size of cake above. Not sure i have the confidence to push that centre dowel through those boards, fear of collapsing 😬

[@dianacampbell694]

She is awesome and extremely talented and does a wonderful job teaching with exquisite detail LOVE IT

[@amandaforsyth1965]

When i say I'm happy you had an issue , I'm only happy to see what can happen and how you explained calmly how to fix it. Thankyou x

[@tanyapeschel6025]

Did you have a cake disc underneath the 2nd tier when you placed it on the 1st tier?

[@morrisonmercy9415]

I'll be getting one of those palette knives for sure! My regular scraper doesn't let me get in there close enough, and I wasn't sure how to overcome that. Thanks!

I definitely need this video I made my first three tier cake today and it slid everywhere The buttercream melted The fondant wound up getting cracky and quite literally fell apart the buttercream sliding down wound up taking chunks of the cake out omg It was a wreck It did turn out looking nice if you didn't look too closely lol I don't know if I can add a picture into the comments but I'll try. Nope doesn't look like I can

Do you share the recipe for your cake batter? Also, how do you decide how much better goes in each pan according to side?

[@51topjjb]

Very thorough instruction! Do you have a favorite buttercream recipe you would care to share?

[@tammysvegankitchen]

Could I also have the link for that little spatula?

[@annettem5998]

The one time I did a tiered cake, I would have loved this tutorial. Although it did stay upright and structure was ok, it got weird bubble things sticking out between layers. Any idea why that happened? I know they were air, but how come mine had that and yours doesn’t? Is there some trick to avoiding them happening?

[@gabymiller6096]

I need to make a 10 inch, four layer cake, just exactly like the bottom one of this cake on your video, so without the other tiers. I have never made a tall cake like that. Should I use about the same amount of dowels that you used on this one, even though there’s not going to be another cake on top?

[@clairekocurek2404]

Can you dowl cake and then pop in freezer before ready to travel so can be stacked at venue

[@claudinewai6260]

Great

[@moniquemonet982]

Is the bottom tier on a cake board and then on the drum, or was it decorated on the cake drum? Also if it’s not directly in the drum, what do you use to secure it to the cake drum? Buttercream?

[@levelvbakery]

where did you get your square edge spatula??

Cakes tiers have gotten taller and taller! I am needing to make exactly that combination 10, 8, and 6. How many servings is that?

[@ahmad2265]

I have to prepare 10 pounds cake with whipped cream instead of butter cream.will I follow this procedure as well. Is it necessary to take same layers in every tier? How can I divide 10 pounds in 2 tier and 3tier.guid plz

Hi! How many wedding servings do you get from that 3 tier cake? Thank you

[@noreengraham1761]

Where can I get that scraper spatula?

[@gdubbs680]

They weren't soft initially, they used hard royal icing and fruit cake.

[@jibobit]

Hi could i dowel my tiers before i freeze them??

[@lindabillingsley7108]

Dont u need a parchment circle under the tiers so when u lift up thr cake icing wont lift off.

how do you cut a cake with all those dowls
