    How do you Tier cakes???
    Have you done them before? What did you use??

  • @wwfattitudera4life
    @wwfattitudera4life 5 років тому +521

    I’d recommend freezing the cake you plan on putting on top. That way you could easily adjust it with your hands without worrying about ruining the buttercream.

    While watching this video the only thing I had in mind was: "This is the reason why people shouldn't slam the face of the birthday person into the birthday cake. So many accidents have happened with people getting sticks stuck into their face. One almost lost an eye." So people!...never do that to anyone. All bakers stick things into the cake to structure them.

    I tried making a tiered gingerbread themed cake for my mom’s December birthday...grossly underestimated the size of the cake layers, first of all 😅 then I only had bendy straws as supports, so I cut the bendy part off and made-do 😅 it survived the car ride but by the time I got to her 2nd floor apartment (no elevator), it looked like the slanted Whoville mountain village 🤣 and THEN my mom goes “I’m gonna use the bathroom” while I’m trying to hold this cake upright long enough for her to enjoy it - I yelled “PEE FASTER!!!” 🤣🤣🤣 (btw it was a spice cake with vanilla buttercream). She LOVED the cake and was even more moved to tears by how much work I put into it just for her 🥰

  • @suej3959
    @suej3959 3 роки тому +5

    I asked my sister who lives in the UK how to tier a cake as I’m making one for my granddaughter’s birthday. She started going on about dowels and suchlike but it was hard to understand over the phone. So... I searched on UA-cam and came across this video which made the process much clearer. A really excellent video I must say - straight to the point, no unnecessary, long-winded intro, fast but not too fast and perfectly clear... now I just hope that my effort turns out even half as well!

  • @bobbiehepburn8851

    I’ve made a two tier cake only once before, I did the second method you mentioned with a fondant owl cake 😁 unfortunately, I didn’t know your video existed when I did it, otherwise I would’ve used a longer dowel- I don’t think it even went past half of the top tier but it did still feel secure though... luckily I stacked it at the location so thankfully, there’s was less chance of any sliding accidents! Thank you for your advice! So appreciative! Xx
