  • When I started stacking cakes, CZcams wasn't even BORN yet so I had to work it out for myself. Lucky for you, I've already made all of the mistakes so that you don't have to! Here is the best way I know how to stack tiered cakes, for a super-sturdy, transportable, level cakestravaganza! #cupcakejemmabakes #stackedcakes
    Check below for handy links...
    You will need...
    -2 or 3 cakes which you have levelled, filled, crumb coated, final coated and chilled for an hour or so (I did 6", 8" and 10")
    -Biggest tier, iced directly onto a cake drum
    -Smaller tiers, iced directly onto thin, hole-punched cake boards of the same diameter and then stuck on (with buttercream) to slightly bigger cake drum, for easy carrying
    -Buttercream in the same colour as your tiers
    -Royal icing, made fairly stiff consistency
    -long thin and thick plastic or wooden dowels/supports/pillars/thick straws
    -secateurs or very strong scissors
    sharp knife or hole-punch for...er...hole punching
    -greaseproof paper and scissors
    - palette knife
    -soft round paint brush
    -paper towel
    -piping bags
    -white chocolate (coloured if you like) for dripping
    ROYAL ICING - • Perfect Piping Masterc...
    MADEIRA CAKE - • The Best Madeira Cake ... (if you want to make a 6-8-10" cake like I did, use the same measurements for the 8", then double up to make a 6" and 10" from the same batch)
    BUTTERCREAM - • Buttercream Masterclas... (Make 4-5 times the amount to fill, crumb coat and decorate a 3-tier cake of this size)

    I love you so much Jemma. You have made my life easier. My mom just passed away in September 2021, and she left me a bakery, of 33 years. I used to do basic cakes for her, but we have recently been getting bigger tiered cakes and I was very scared to take orders, I made my first one last weekend and it was a hit and I got 3 more cake orders from people who were at that party. Everytime I need help, I can't.ask my mom, I look for your videos. Thanks so much for all the helpful tips. You have encouraged me and I am able to salvage my moms cake business.

      I noticed you didn't get a reply so I'll drop in with some info I found online about this. If it's a cake like a wedding cake that for instance the couple will be cutting in to, they can make their triangular/wedge cut then you just take the cake into the back room or kitchen and cut it in a gridline pattern. That way you can tell how many portions you'll get. Hope this helps somewhat.
