    This was wonderful. I was always wondering how to slice wedding cakes so well, and I didn't know that the bride and groom kept the top cake for the 1 year anniversary. We ate ours the day after Lol

    A+! My mom did cakes for a living. So I have cut more wedding and celebration cakes than I can remember. She always opted for an option that was kind of a hybrid between the circle and square cuts. I am so glad you shared this because so many people just don't know how to even cut a sheet cake properly to serve the right amount of people. To this day I always volunteer to cut the cake for people if I am at some sort of party or event. Always good to keep sharp on your skills. LOL!

    Great video. Cutting does deem very daunting. I had never seen it done before. I am always looking to learn a new skill. Eventually my husband and I will have a real wedding. I'm planning to do my own cake and most everything else. ( I'm an extremely crafty, creative, ambishious, control freak 😉)Thanks for your great videos!

    @betsycollins601 7 років тому +1

    Is that a special type of cake knife? I am wondering because I have seen many other videos where frosting sticks to the blade and makes a hot mess out of the guest slices. Or is it that fondant simply cuts cleaner?

    • @GretchensVeganBakery
      @GretchensVeganBakery  7 років тому +1

      actually this was a buttercream cake, and I use a regular serrated knife, nothing special I DO however dip the knife in HOT WATER before each slice

      6" or 7" is a good size on top of a 9"

    hi Gretchen! I was wondering how's the taste of the cake after 1 yr kept in the freezer..never done it before

    • @GretchensVeganBakery
      @GretchensVeganBakery  8 років тому +1

      ive never done it either (I never got married LOL) but its tradition to save the top tier- I suppose it will test the strength of that marriage to eat a stale cake together LOL

    • @emereena

  • @drelle504
    @drelle504 8 років тому +12

    I actually wouldn't recommend freezing a cake for a year. Freezer burned cake is not what's up. Gretchen stated in her previous wedding cake video that she would just bake a cake for the couple a year later. Much better idea, I think.

    • @GretchensVeganBakery
      @GretchensVeganBakery  8 років тому +5

      agree, its tradition though! LOL stale cake to see if the marriage is going to last hahahahaha

    • @drelle504
      @drelle504 8 років тому +1

      +Gretchen's Bakery LOL I'm fully aware of the tradition. I also remember the faces some of my cousins made when they bit into their year old cake. Hilarious though they didn't think so at the time. Anyway, for my one year anniversary, I'm making our own cake since my husband and I eloped in Las Vegas last August.

    • @ilhambouiti4587

    How cold should the cake be? What if its room temperature

    • @GretchensVeganBakery
      @GretchensVeganBakery  Рік тому

      While it is easier to cut a slightly colder cake, if a wedding cake has been sitting out at a reception for hours and hours, The cake will most likely not be cold at all.
      This is not an issue though, as people have been slicing wedding cakes for ages.

    @dinabeh2900 8 років тому +1

    Have you done any gluten free recipes? I think it would be so cool to start a building on recipes gluten free style. Educate on different types of flours, why and how. Converting a refular recipe to gluten free. Gluten free from a box is awful but home made can be amazing. I think there is a whole subscriber group calling your name. So many people are intolerant or just giving it up for a healthier lifestyle, they might quickly be able to make 1million and beyond. We are many!

      @gardenjoy5223 4 роки тому +1

      Most guests are pretty thankful for that! They've been stuffing themselves on all sorts of goodies and will keep doing that. A bigger slice might fill some people up to the brim, so they have to say no to other treats, they'd otherwise would have loved to sample.
      But if it makes you uncomfortable, you can give each guest more. Or have thicker and thinner portions, so they can choose ;)
