    Hi Ashley! Love your videos ♡
    What did you put between layers on the chocolate cake you were making on 0:47 is that for it to conserve its fluffyness?

    @solacistic Před 3 lety +1

    Hi ! My cakes are 4" high and the cake slicer app as well as websites say that a 6" feeds 12 and 8" feeds 24. Is this incorrect? If so I've been recommending the wrong sizes per servings.

    • @SweetDreamsBakeShoppe
      @SweetDreamsBakeShoppe  Před 3 lety +1

      Like I mentioned I go on the lower end just to ensure there’s enough when I quoted for customers. For my own family a 6 inch would definitely feed 12! 🥰🍰

      @@SweetDreamsBakeShoppe Hi, I had the same question as Sunshine - wondering how many layers in the cakes. What do you mean by 2-3 layers depending on how you cut it? I don't understand. Thank you for your video - so helpful and inspiring!

    • @KingdomLifeDec
      @KingdomLifeDec Před rokem

      ​@oliviadeakyne9991 layers is the number of bread, are you using 2 breads,or 3 breads stacked. So ,in this instance she talking about an 8" pan size, that you will get 2 or 3 breads stacked together.
