Absolutely love your channel. I’ve binged almost 3 hours worth of your content today after finding it. Such great information. Thank you!!
This is wonderful, I appreciate you! 🙏
You 're the QUEEN OF CAKES.
Thank you for tell us about your techniques and give us your tips to get started.. I'm really learning with you.
Greetings from Málaga!
You're welcome, I'm happy to help! 😊
U should do a start to finish cake one time. Like show u mixing the ingredients, leveling and filling, crumb coat, refrigerating, decorating, everything.
I want to! The issue I have is, right now I film and edit on my iPhone. I will have to get a camera and learn how to use it, and learn how to use the editing software before I can do that. So hopefully I'll have a slow week soon so I can learn everything!
I love your videos. They've really helped me. When you crumb coat your cakes, you do the sides and cling wrap. You don’t do the top. Please can I asked you, why you do this? Keep up the good work. ❤
I'm sorry but I don't understand what you're asking? I just watched this and when I crumb coat the cake, I start with icing on the top, then put icing on the sides. Maybe it was someone else's video?
Love it 🤩🤩
Great video! Thank you
I have learned so much from you!!! ❤Thank You…
Thank you for your time and generosity!
Awww you’re welcome I’m happy to help!
Youre amazing.. thank you. I enjoy your videos
Thank you love! 💜
Your videos are wonderful. Thank you for sharing! 🙂
So nice of you, you're welcome!
So happy to find u 💓
Nice ! Thanks ❤❤❤
You are the most fantastic cake designer ❤
Awwwww thank you love! I appreciate you! 💜
I have the same plastic turntable and recently upgraded to the really nice metal one that spins for eternity. Now I start watching you and I don't think I've ever seen you use anything other than the plastic one. Is it a personal preference or does it serve a purpose that the metal one doesn't? I love you by the way. I spend almost all of my spare time on social media on your videos. I would love to bake a cake with you one day.
Jesse!! You're so sweet, thank you love!
I have a big one that I got years ago off eBay and I tend to use that the most. The plastic ones I just use every now and then. I actually got a newer plastic one and it spins MUCH smoother than this one!
Beautiful! You make it look so easy 😩
It easier with practice!!
I have this same turn table. I bought it maybe 15yrs ago at a Ices cake convention.😊
It's the best, it's lasted forever!
I would like to have seen you making the fondant details on this cake.. Not sure if you have one with that.. I will look through your videos
I am so happy i found you,your work is impeccable 😊and you have helped me ALOT...! How manybppl does this cake feed?
This is wonderful! It feeds approx. 25 people.
Hi Karolyn. I recently discovered your videos! They are so helpful. About how much icing do you think in takes to cover this double barrel cake? Thank you.
Hi! I believe it was just one batch to ice the whole 7” cake!
Love your videos. How many people this would feed?
Karolyn thank you for sharing I can wait to try a double barrel my question is after filling and crumb coating the cake do I not put it in the fridge to get stiff? Thank you in advance
Yes, I would put it in the fridge after the crumb coat so it can solidify. 😊
Thank u for this great tip!
Please could you tell me the name of the paper cos the link is showing me a dog on Amazon and not the paper
I don't know why that happens! I updated the link:

Thank you for this video! How do you transport double barrel tiered cakes like this one? Do you assemble on on site? Or just drive slow lol
I don't assemble on site. I drive cautiously and people honk and give me the finger a lot LOL
Here's a video on deliveries!

Once again thank you for sharing. I always learn something new in your videos. Is the bubble tea straw safe for cake transportation?
Should I let the cake a chill a bit on refrigerator before smooth de buttercream with paper?
You're welcome Irede! Yes, the straws provide support and make the cake structurally sturdy.
Since I use a crusting buttercream, I just let it crust a little bit and then I use the paper.
@@KarolynsKakes ..crust in the fridge?
Q. I have a 4 layered cake(double barrel but 4 ("8) (1 1/2" thick), do I need to put dowel rod for just a 1 tier cake?
I usually dowel a double barrel cake so it's more secure. You don't have to though!
Hi karolyn, It really takes Patients!
That's the name of the game for cake decorating!
I use my glass lazy suzanne turn table
Are the cakes stacked cut side up until the top layer, then cut side down? Whenever I stack more than 2 cakes in a tier they sometimes don't match up size wise. I think they shrink at different increments as they cool in the pan so they aren't exactly all the same size. I'm going to try your method of wrapping while still warm and maybe they won't have time to shrink? Also, I see you're using a pot for your water on the stove. I use a saute pan that's 2" high and 10" around. It's perfect for when I use my short and tall scrapers! That way you wouldn't need to run the hot water, you can still do the technique with the pan on the stove. :) Your videos are great!
Generally I stack cut side up for the bottom layer and cut side down for the rest. And you may be cooling them too long in the pan which may cause them to shrink. And I don't know why I didn't think of using a larger pan! DUH! haha
Fabulous cake. Why do you spray the cake with the syrup solouyion? Novice here.
Just helps to keep it moist!
Can you used parchment or wax paper to smooth the buttercream?
I've used parchment paper before.😊
If I don't have any greaseproof boards what could replace them
Before I had greaseproof circles, I would cut a circle of parchment paper and put it between the cake and the cake circle. I always informed the customer that it was in there so they were aware of it when they cut the cake. I didn't do that for long, though, because I just started getting the greaseproof circles when I ran out of the other ones. They really are worth the little extra cost!
Kan I use bondpaper to smooth the cake instead of viva paper towel?
I’m not sure if it’s food safe. I’m going to look for other options to replace the Viva since a lot of people aren’t able to get it.
Ok so if I'm not mistaken, after you crumbcoat, you do not chill the cake? And you don't chill before you put the final layer either? So the only time you refrigerate is after the cake is done??
Hey! Yes, I only refrigerate the cake after it's fully iced. I have a more detailed video on icing my cakes, I believe I linked it in this video!
Thank you! Any reason you don't do a middle dowel? 😊
I did put a dowel through the entire cake when I stacked it!
How many layers does a cake need to be before doing this? I have seen 4 single layers and there isn't a board separating the cakes. I have also seen a cake board separating 2 layers and then stack another 2 layers. I have a wedding cake I am doing this summer and going to make it a 2 tier, 4 layer bottom tier and 3-4 layer top tier. Just wondering if I need to do what you did here? Thank you for your help!!
I do it with 4 layers. I never stack a 4 layer cake without a cake board in the middle. This adds structure to the cake so it won't fall apart!
Great video as always! I have a couple questions on double barrel cakes.
1. Do you always tort your layers or could you leave them as a full layer? So use 4 normal layers to stack instead of torting 2 cake layers in half?
2. Would you double barrel 8 or 9 in cakes, or would they look too massive and enormous 😂?
Thanks for making these informative videos! Xx
Thank you! I actually have recently been doing 4 non-torted layers instead. Both methods work though!
And I have done 8" and 9" double barrel cakes before. But those were a part of a really big wedding cake, so it went with the design. It may look too big if it were the bottom tier of a 2 tiered cake. I hope that makes sense!
@@KarolynsKakes makes total sense!
I think I'm gonna go ahead and do an 8" double barrel as its the only cake for a large baby shower party. Thanks for taking the time to come back to me, its appreciated 😊
I make alot of childrens cakes and love to color the cake batter into rainbow cakes or animal stripes but noticing the cakes are a bit dry!! I tried your cake recipe this weekend and colored one tier of cake into tiger stripes and another tier into zebra stripes. It looked amazing when cut but I noticed they were a little dry and not moist. I followed your cake recipe and freezing technique. I did refrigerate in between crumb coat and final coat of frosting which I just saw on one of your videos you do not. I did wrap them on the in between overnight before final step and then of course refrigerate unwrapped decorated overnight and 1/2 day! Do you think by adding the color to cake batter can dry it out? LOVE your videos!! They have been so helpful!! Cant wait until you come out with instructional videos on decorating. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!!
I just colored cake batter the other day and didn't have an issue. You may be baking the cakes slightly too long?
Ppl
I know this question is older but I also used to get drier cakes when making Marble cakes. To account for the added cocoa powder, to make the separate marble colour, stir in a tiny amount of melted butter ½-2 tsp depending on the size & the same amount in warm milk, before baking.
What are some reasons to make a double barrel cake? This technique is fairly new isn't? You made it look so easy. But then again you make everything look easy. I'd like to see more of your beautiful cake designs. Thank you for sharing and keep on caking 💜
Aesthetic reasons! It looks different than the typical cake tiers. And also it allows you to make taller decorations as it gives you more decorating space!
Makes a lot of sense. Thank you for replying 💜
Hi dear, can I use any paper towel to smooth the rough edges
I recommend Viva brand paper towel because there is no pattern on it. If you use a regular paper towel, the pattern on the towel will transfer onto the icing!
@@KarolynsKakes thanks
Can I use the paper method with Swiss meringue buttercream?
Swiss meringue doesn’t crust so the paper towel method won’t work because it will stick to it. 😔
@@KarolynsKakes thank you for always answering questions!! In addicted to your videos! You should have online courses!
@@agnesscolon Thank you! That's my next goal, I'm working on it 🥰
What is the reason for letting the cake settle for a few hours ?
To prevent filling bulging through the frosting.
@@KarolynsKakes oh ok .. does it also help with air bubbles ? I swear I always get bubbles in my cakes even when It's covered in fondant
I have tried this many times over but when I heat the spatula it darkens the icing so I end up with many variations of colour
This video explains my technique to avoid the discoloring:

How do make 2 tier double barrel cake ?
You would basically do the same process that I show in this video for both tiers and then stack and dowel them.
Oh no , you didn’t throw away the top of the cake into the sink. Cup of tea and cake scraps ☹️. No on a serious note , thank you I’m learning so much .😍
I don't eat scraps! I give it to the birds / animals in the woods out back, my neighbors or toss it. I'm so glad you're learning a lot from my content! 😊💜🙏
Ove done double barrel and not put board for next height
Is this your doctored chocolate recipe?
Yes it is! :)
