How To Make A Wedding Cake At Home | CHELSWEETS

I'm getting married in a few months, and I want to make my own wedding cake! After speaking with some of you, I learned that a lot of you plan to make your own wedding cake too!

I figured it would also be helpful to share an in-depth tutorial, showing step by step how to make a four-tiered wedding cake! This cake is made with 10 inch, 8 inch, 6 inch, and 4 inch tiers.

This wedding cake is decorated with fresh flowers, and is simply frosted with buttercream (no fondant!). I walk through leveling the cake layers, properly supporting each tier, stacking the tiers on a center dowel, and of course how to make an impromptu wedding cake box (thank goodness for Home Depot).

If you want to know what cake boards and dowels I used to make this cake, I'll include the amazon links below:

I like the simplicity, and the fact that you stuck to a smooth buttercream frosted finish and didn't resort to nasty fondant !
Great work ;)

You make it look so easy. If I tried this wedding cake, it would end up looking like one of those Pinterest “Nailed It” projects! But you did a beautiful job!

While the cake turned out nicely I have some tips for anyone attempting to make a cake of this size. First, you will need to use a foamcore base of at least a half inch thickness. A cardboard base isn’t sufficient support for a large tiered cake. Also, four bubble tea straws aren’t enough to hold up all that cake. Cakes are very heavy and to hold up an 8” cake you will need to use 7 straws and in general just use one straw less than the inches of the tier. In the end you will need to sharpen a dowel and drive it through all Cake tiers and the foamcore board. This will ensure that your cake does not slide around in transit. You can also use melted chocolate to adhere the first cake layer to each board before icing which is what I do.

I've been doing cake decorating for several years now. All self taught. But this will be my second time making a tiered cake. Thanks to your video the practice run was very successful and a great learning experience. I'm now about to start my wedding cake today for my wedding on Friday. All the fondant decorations have been ready for weeks but now I just have to bake and assemble.

I am a professional cake decorator and I found many useful tips in this video! Stuff that I wasn't taught in all my years of decorating!

Instead of giving the scraps to the bride, for a congratulation gift you could make cake pops
