  • When I started stacking cakes, RUclips 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.

      @@ajackson1946 Ashley Paulin might be thinking that if it's a wedding cake then one tier (usually the top) is reserved to be eaten when the couple's first child is christened, although often just for the couple's 1-year anniversary. I've been to weddings where the cake only looked like it was stacked but it was really 3 separate tiers, decorated to look stacked, because it was intended to give one tier (the middle, I think) to one side of the family who couldn't attend as they lived abroad, while another was cut for guests, and one tier kept for the later first child christening. But sometimes people don't think of that and just produce a stacked cake then wonder who to unstack it!
