Part 1: • How to Make a Wedding ...
Part 3: • How to Make a Wedding ...
Materials Required
• 6" double layer buttercream coated cake
• 8" double layer buttercream coated cake
• 10" double layer buttercream coated cake
• 7 Wooden dowel rods (or plastic)
Procedure
1. Place three rods into the 10" cake in the shape of a triangle, about 3"-4" apart. Make sure that the rods will be underneath the 8" cake that will be above the support rods.
2. Mark the rods with an edible pen, or score with a knife, just below the top of the cake. Trim the rods using a knife, saw or sharp sears to the trim line.
3. Reinsert the rods into the previous holes, and ensure that they are flush with the top of the cake. If they are not, re-trim them.
4. Place the 8" cake on top of the support rods.
5. Place three rods into the 8" cake in the shape of a triangle, about 3"-4" apart. Make sure that the rods will be underneath the 6" cake that will be above the support rods.
6. Repeat trimming process of the rods and insert them back into the holes that go through the 10" and 8" cakes.
7. Place the 6" on top of the support rods.
8. Trim one rod to fit below the surface of the top of the cake, and press down into the cake through all three layers of cakes. This will prevent the cake from moving.
9. Using a small amount of buttercream, patch the hole at the top of the cake and spread smooth.

To all the people thinking you cut the cake with the dowels in. Only the bride and groom cut into the cake when it's stacked. Once you are ready to serve the cake you un stack it. Remove the dowels and then serve it to guests.
Lynn B i was wondering about that 😅 thanks lol
Four years later and still helpful! Thank you!
Lol. Thx
I wanted to say thank you for not only being specific and informative but also just cutting to the quick..you are the only one that I have seen that does not take a lifetime to explain the how to's... :)
These videos are so straight to the point and direct. Love it.
What a wonderful video! Thank you for all the details! I always wondered about the cardboard bottoms, so glad I listened and heard you say they stay underneath the cake. Thank you again!!!!
I've watched a few tutorials on stacking and this is, for sure, the best one yet.

how do i download your work to try?
Can you use skewers instead ow dowels?
Peaches Bapoo Just for the size and weight of the cake, I would recommend not using skewers, and going with dowels. You definitely need something sturdy holding the cakes together, all that cake ends up weighing a lot more than you'd expect.
Lol

This video is so beautiful it brought me to tiers! (tears)
Lol
I see what. you did there!
thank you so much for sharing!
Thank you for this tutorial. I saw a video where a baker used parchment between the laters and no cardboard and that freaked me the hell out. I have a three tier to stack Saturday
beautiful video :) love it
So hungry from that thank you not sarcastically but with joy
Thanks I love this
Wow Thank you sooo much, this Saturday Im making my fist 3 tier cake, and Im a little nervous. But after this video I feel more confident. Thanks a lot.
Hey how are you so how did your Cake go and funny thing this week is my first time doing a 3 tier cake I'm a little nervous but I know I'm going to do great
A good tip is to place the dowels, mark one, and cut the rest the same size as the marked one (as opposed to marking them all) That way if your cake isn't *perfectly* leveled (or squishes), at least the dowels are the same size and the cake will sit level on those. Great series! Loving the info you're sharing to people just getting into caking :)
Good tip.
Wow 😳, thank you for sharing ☺️
You make it look so easy! I'm sure at some point I would have rolled a tier across the counter! Excellent job!!
Thanks so much it was very useful
Great video! I imagine that if you are stacking single layers the dowels are not needed. Thank you for these videos : )
another thing I was wondering is how soon before the wedding should the cake be made and how would you store it to keep freshness?
Also wish to knw
2 to 3 weeks last min depending on the decorations and labor that need to be put into making the cakes. From my experience
@@anandaperez2985 so you freeze it,for two or three weeks? I have never done it,but I will give it a try. I heard they get more moist after you thaw it for a few hours before frosting it for the final decoration.
After baking and removing from the pan, wrap your cake in saran to sweat the cake, it keeps in moisture and tastes so moist! I make cakes 5 days ahead
This is cool and awsom
love this!
You must be Canadian. I can tell when you say the word "out". Lol. Great videos!!!
Very good
Amazing
AWSOME video! Very easy to understand and helpful! Thanks so much!
Thank you so much
can I chill my cakes before stacking to help smudging.
Hi I love your videos
can you please make a video on the different ways we can use pillars😊
muchas gracias
Lovely
For everyone that scare of wood dowel use bubble tea straws. They support the cake pretty well but i would suggest using more for larger cakes.
Hello, I loved your video series on the wedding cakes! What are those metal sliders you used to stack the cake layers and where can I find them? Thanks
love it.....
so helpful! When guests cut into the cake would they get a piece of the dowel in it? or when you cut it is the dowel too in the inner center to be apart of the slice?!
Hi love this tutorial!! How many servings will you get out of this cake? I will be making my first wedding cake and I need to serve 200 people
Beautyful
For dowels, I get kebab skewers in the kitchen section at the dollar store (99cent) and they work perfectly and are Much less expensive!
I.....love that cake
Hi! Love your vids! One question. How long can ur buttercream recipe lasts without melting at room temperature? How many days/hours?
this is so helpful! Just a question, for how many persons is this cake? I never know how many slices I can get out of a cake, do you have any tips for me?
Thanks!
Hi. I love your videos. I have a question. Which type of board you use in the middle of each tier? Thanks.
I know there is more than one way to do things but it has been my experience it is best to mark one dowel and cut all the same size do this for each tier . When you mark and cut each if your cake is not perfectly level you may have a disaster on your hand. . I have had to take co workers cakes apart at the last minute because they cut the dowels like s your video.
Super
Thanks Ma'am this is awesome, stacking the cake with dowels but is it necessary to insert them in the first layer?
sooooo cool
When stacking cakes do you place boards in the middle of the layers like between top n middle layers n middle and bottom layers if that makes sense lol
I like the cake
You make it look so easy, thanks. Also I'm glad you didn't use fondant. Fondant tastes so bad. lol
My mother wants an m & m cake, it has three tiers with two m & m figures at the top fighting over a bag of m & m's which spilled over the side of the cake, this video definitely helped me figure out how to do that!
thank you for your clear tutorials. Can you give some advise on how I would transport a tiered cakes. I have to drive 30 km to the wedding venue ith the and that scares me more than making the cake.
Someone else drives slowly and you carry the cake in your lap. That is what I have to do when transporting. And let me just tell you...it is SCARY! But do-able.
Do u refrigerator the cakes right before you take them out to bbq stack?
Hi Jen. I love your videos! Just a quick question. Have you purposefully made your buttercream frosting firm? It looks like its a little firm, just wondering if that's for a specific reason? It almost looks like white chocolate ganache :0) Thanks for these wonderful tutorials! Nick x
Once you stab the wood stick through the card board, wouldn't there be a little piece of that card board in the cake? What if someone swallowed it? :(
No
Nickesha Powell Okay, thanks
BeatlesQueen good luck making ur cake
For the 6" and 8" cake did you used the same size of cake boards?
When is the video about decorating the cake??my mom said your videos were helpful and one day I had a party and we made the recipe of the cookie shots with milk IT WAS SO GOOD thanks you
Einna Faith Queri Stay tuned!
when should i bake the cake and work on it before the wedding please ?
hi great bid. do u have a recipe for the buttercream used on the cake? thanks
Thanks
hi I am in love with this tutorial, I am a uge fan of your show, and I would like to know about a price for this wedding cake if you have to sell it at what price will you be selling it for? thank you
Can I use straws instead of dowels?
is awesome
I would go with 4 dowels for the first and second tier to get it really secure
Center Dowel: how can you make absolutely sure that tiers are perfectly centered so when you run that center dowel through?
how do u know where to place the rods in the cake and how do know if it went through the card board dome
to hold it down?
Did you refrigerate these cakes at all in-between the frosting process and the stacking process?
How you can join the three cakes exactly in the center? Thank you.
When you put the last dowel in, wouldn’t that make the cardboard go down with it? So into the cake?
Did you put the cakes in the fridge after putting the buttercream and before stacking them? If yes, for how long?
