As a bride who's about to make my own wedding cake, you are literally saving my life right now. This video couldn't have come at a better time 🤣
Good luck!
How was the cake?

Yes how was the cake
Excellent! DIY is best and no expense to the cake maker.
This has made me go from 'I need to tell my sister I've over committed' to ' I can do it!'!! Thank you SO much for making this so simple!
Ok! I’m getting married in 2 weeks and I’m in charge of making my cake. Let’s watch this!! 😊
This is one of the most informative videos I have ever seen!!! Thank you. After seeing this, I feel confident I could make one of these. Simple yet beautiful!! Would love to learn how to price my cakes too especially as expensive as baking ingredients are becoming. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I just recently discovered you making your Berry Chantilly cream which was amazing and I really love your content. I am making your lemon velvet cake this weekend.
Thanks so much!! I’m so happy to hear that 💕 Check out Syd Mitchell’s course with sugar coin academy for advice on pricing (it’s free and amazing) sugarcoins.com/p/cake-pricing
This was very helpful but I’m still a little bit nervous about doing it. Thank you Sugar Geek!😌
Totally agree.

Today is a surprise for you too play the best possible price for her to be with you forever changed the name to do with her wedding cake ball and stay up with you have any recommendations for her
I'm about to bake my first wedding cake for my best friend in 2 weeks. I honestly want to thank you for such a easy and step by step tutorial on how to bake it and decor. This is precisely what she wants and this saves the day!
This video is literally the one and only reason the cake I made for my sisters wedding turned out! I followed it from start to finish and every detail helped!! Im so thankful I found this video. Thank you!!!
I'm an "amateur" baker and I have been asked to do a wedding cake for a friend. This is EXACTLY what I was looking for when it comes to tips and tricks to make this cake delicious, successful, and most of all, beautiful! Thank you SO much!
This video is fantastic. You are so calm and reassuring with everything so well-explained. I used it to make a 2 tier cake for a friend's 60th birthday last year and it turned out so well. I'm now re-watching as I am planning to make my nephew's wedding cake next weekend and it has made me feel really calm 🤩 I can't thank you enough.
Thank you so much for this video! So comprehensive, you covered everything! I made my first ever cake for my SIL’s baby shower (don’t know what came over me to volunteer). Got so many compliments, esp on your buttercream! Already got asked to make the same cake for another baby shower-Told everyone about this video and said anyone can do it if they watch this! 😂🤍
This answered all of my questions! Amazing tutorial. Excited to make my first naked wedding cake for this weekend. My stress levels are much lower after watching this.
czcams.com/video/SjWCTX_T7RE/video.html
Appreciate you showed us how you put the freshflowers with clingwrap and straw to make sure it is food safe.. I have watched others vids that they directly put the fresh flowers or even dried flowers directly to the cake. Great tips for us. btw,. love your cake! ☺️
I just wanted to comment and say I used this video and both recipes to make my daughter’s wedding cake! Her wedding was yesterday and I got so many compliments on the cake! Thank you for this video! Ive made cakes before, but never to this extent! So thank you!
Used this excellent tutorial to make my son's wedding cake in May. Four tiers each with three layers, iced with Italian buttercream. An absolute winner on looks and taste!
How many did it serve? I’m just curious as I have to make one to serve 250 guests. 😳
@@christinamiller8474
There were about 80 guests; it was very popular and some came back for seconds, I guess because they could see there was some left. It would have served a 100 I guess, if kept to one serving and small portion size.
@@user-gf1bb5lk5w thank you so much for your response, it was very helpful! :)
This video is everything!!! My sis asked me to make her wedding cake and I needed this so bad!! Thank You!!
Yay!!
czcams.com/video/SjWCTX_T7RE/video.html
You are THE BEST!! Thank you for being so detailed and informative! Your happy and humble energy shines through that it get me in the baking mood!! Lol! Thank you for your incredible videos!!! Keep them coming!! 😄
Thank you Liz for explaining it from A to Z! I feel encouraged to say yes next time around! 😍
Liz, I love your videos!!!! ❤️ Ready for this one to start!!!
I absolutely love watching your videos. Thanks for teaching in such an easy and fun way.
This video is saving my sanity! I agreed to make a friend’s wedding cake (my first one ever!) and I was already nervous enough, but then… she tells me there are 250 guests. 😩😭 So needless to say, I’ve been doing as much learning and researching and practicing as I can, but this video is literally the first one I’ve watched that calmed my anxieties down. While I still won’t be brave enough to do 5 tiers, I think I’m gonna be just fine with 3-4! The other cake servings will be held in the kitchen… praying I can do it! lol it’s next month, and I’ll be back with an update after it’s over! You’ve got a new subscriber here.. thank you SO MUCH for all of your help! ❤️
Oh my god! Good luck! My advice is…. Organisation and good planning. If doing anything new… do a trial.
I’m making a 3 tier wedding cake for my daughter first week of June.
All ordered, all picked, all designed and it’s almost perfectly organised. I am a baker though.
I am making new flavours and new fillings. Am testing those this week to make sure all is a go .
Good luck to you!!! Don’t panic you can do it!!! Stack and keep it all levelled for a good result !!!! 🎉🎉🎉
@@sleepycat8887 thank you so much for your advice! Thankfully, I’m slightly obsessive when it comes to making lists and organization for most things, so I’m confident in my pre-planning of this cake. 😅 I plan on starting to bake on tomorrow or Thursday and give myself enough breathing room to carry over into the next day if I run into any issues. Then icing on Friday/Saturday and delivering Sunday! My husband is also going to build an insulated box to carry the cake in, just to make sure nothing melts in southern Louisiana heat for the 40 minute car ride. I’m still slightly nervous, but getting excited! I hope your cake turns out beautifully! ❤️
@@christinamiller8474 I have all my fingers crossed 🤞 for you! If anything goes wrong…. Breathe and take five minutes before going back to it. It’s important to keep your sanity!! 😂
Remember to use dowels to stack well and centre all cake tiers well too. I use a spirit level for this ( it’s pink, very cake baking fitting) 😂, And remember to use an icing that will withstand the heat as much as possible too.
I’m sure will turn out amazing 😻! Good luck!!
My daughter’s cake will be made in two weeks time.
Made many before so I’m not worried, but of course sometimes things get complicated. 🫣
It’s a three tier that will be semi naked with flowers, as the theme is gardens and nature.
I’m making three different flavours and using Italian meringue as outside icing.
Here in the uk 🇬🇧 it’s really not hot weather yet so will be perfectly fine and safe.
Wish you all the best with yours 😊. Let me know how your adventure goes!! 😊
Excellent as always Liz. Thank you for sharing your wisdom 🙏
This video is FANTASTIC!!! Thank you for explaining all the steps so well.
You made this seem so simple, thank you!
Wow! I'm making this exact cake for a friend this weekend and this video answered every single question and more. Thank you so much!! I feel so much better to bake now
Thx Liz, even as a slightly more experience baker, that was very informative and learned a few new tips, loved the idea of the plastic wrap around the flower stems, I only ever used florist tape, will definitely be trying ur idea, huge 👍
I watched your video severals times as I was preparing to make a wedding cake for my friend. You covered so many important steps. The cake was a total success and thank you so much for sharing so precisely and clearly in one video!! PS. I got a lot of compliments.
You’re so generous! Tks a lot for sharing. Beautiful work! Cheers!
Had to watch this again. So informative as always. Thank you for the diagrams. They are so helpful. Thank you for sharing and keep on caking 💜
Thanks so much Liz. Fantastic tutorial.
This is such a great video- I feel much more confident about trying to bake one of these!
Making my own wedding cake and this is so helpful!
Best stacking video!! Thank you so much for sharing all your tricks and tips!
Thank you SO much for this very thorough tutorial!!
I’m making my own cake for my wedding this weekend and this is a God send!! Thank you!!!
Watching this video before the wedding event! Thank you for your tips!! Life and sanity saver!!
you are the best. funny and an incredible teacher. congratulations! you just saved my wedding cake.
Really enjoyed this video! Thank you for the step by step instructions. Now I am ready to attempt my first tiered cake. :)
Thank you, thank you, thank you 30,000 times! I had to make a naked cake for my son's wedding shower, and I followed your instructions exactly, and it was a great success and everyone loved it too. I used your recipes also! I can't wait to try more of your recipes and honestly, if it were not for this video, I would not have had the confidence to make this naked cake!! You saved me! You are my cake hero for sure!
love the tutorial! literally just got asked for a wedding cake yesterday
Love love love you! This is the first video I've ever watched without fast forwarding . Imagine getting actual information without being bored to tears with tedious explanations as if you're an idiot. What a Great idea!
Thank you
This is GREAT!! I was JUST asked to make a wedding cake (for a friend's brother) in less than a week! I will be such a star thanks to you!
This was super informative. Thank-you so much for sharing this!
Enjoyed this video. Learned a few little tricks I didn’t know. My only concern is with the flowers. When I’ve put flowers on a cake, I use organ flowers only. Because flowers are full of pesticides and could also contain small mites. A little more expensive, but safety always. Even when placing organic flowers on top of the cake, I put a barrier of fondant between the cake and the flowers.
Very true! It’s always best to get organic flowers
@@SugarGeekShow Hope I wasn’t stepping on your toes. You didn’t actually mention organic flowers in your video. And many may not be aware of the pesticides/mites/little bugs that are on regular ole flowers. No one wants a slice of cake with maybe a small creepy crawly on it…🤢🤢
Awesome tutorial… Thank you Liz ❤️
Wow that's awesome
Your comments are fantastic ❤️ and I really like us to be friends
Grinning from ear to ear watching this - thank you Liz!

Hello there
Omg you are a lifesaver ❤❤❤
I made this cake for my sons birthday. I thought I’d pop back to let you all know how it went.
I am very grateful to this lovely lady for sharing her detailed recipe, but I found some things confusing- esp the amount of batter and cake tin sizes.
On the recipe website it has a little toggle bar so that you can adjust the amount of servings.
It’s just hard to know how many servings are in a layer, as she explains more about the tier servings.
So I went with the preset amount -36 servings, assuming that each 8” cake tin is 18 servings , as she refers to 2 cake tins in the method.
But! 36 servings is definitely THREE 8”cake tins worth.
Each 8” cake tin is 12 servings FYI
This worked as I wanted to taste one cake beforehand.
I then made up 2 more 8”cakes (24 servings)
I wrapped them up as she advised and froze for a week until the day before the party- great tip
Icing…. I simply could not get that stuff to turn white. I spoke to a cake expert yesterday and apparently in the US butter is not as yellow as it is in Australia as it is sometimes bleached, so the only way it will go white (in Australia anyway) is if you add a ‘white food dye’ (crazy I know) apparently this actually exists.
Also make HALF the amount of icing that you need. I’m so glad I did and I still had icing left over.
The cakes needed at least 1 hour baking each. The 40-50 minutes was not enough in my oven at least.
I was a bit surprised with how the cakes had equal parts sugar and flour, the only reason I thought it may have been required is it might have helped caramelise the edges-they were very good edges for the naked icing technique.
Next time I would use 3/4 the amount of sugar as they were quite sweet and I personally prefer a bit less.
Everyone thought that cakes looked and tasted amazing. I wish I could post a photo!
If you look up ‘bear themed naked birthday cake’ on Pinterest, it looked similar to that :D.
Thanks again for this great video and recipe!
I don’t want to seem judgey and ungrateful, but I saw a lot of people asking questions in this video and thought it might be helpful to write my experience. Essay over :)
Thank you for this video 💗
Wow amazing 😍 can't wait to see the video,thank you for your help 😊💐
Of course 🥰
This is the best! This is the only reason I am able to make 5 cakes (1 stacked) for one wedding and then 1 for my daughter’s wedding
🙏🙏🙏
