Just got engaged on the 13th and we will be getting married in January - I am planning on making my own cake and this is hands-down the best and most informative video out there!! I'll have to come back and update after making it!
Chelsweet, thank you SOOOO much for your videos! I used to make cakes--wedding, character, etc.--years ago, and I've been trying to decide if I want to get back into it. Your videos have inspired me to do just that! Thank you, again, for taking the time to share your wisdom and talent.
I would like to say thank you Chelsea!! Thanks to you and your fabulous videos, I was able to make a semi naked cake for 200 people 😳 for a sweet 16 party. I also used the explanation you had regarding the amount of ingredientes needed to make it. Thank you again!! I love your videos!!! 💕😊💕
I watched your video many times and it gave me the confidence to make my nephews wedding cake. It turned out amazing and everyone loved it. Thanks for making such a informative video.
Thank you. Your video was perfect! I am making my friends wedding cake and this style is one of the options for decoration. Its my first tiered cake so this video was really helpful :)
Love it! I haven’t mastered stacking my tiered cakes yet; they are never centered. But I love making cakes. I’ve followed you for forever and now created this business account to share my cakes and treat designs. For now I’ll stick to treats. I’m not bold enough to record myself doing cakes 🤣 . Thanks for the tips!!
Thank so much for all your videos and tips. Although a cake maker I have never attempted a wedding cake. My son and fiancé asked me to make a semi naked cake for their wedding. It turned out absolutely fab. I made your vanilla batter cake, three tiers with buttercream and a trailing flower spray. Could not have achieved without following your videos and reading all the advice on your website
I have two semi naked cakes for two weddings next week. I bake out of my home and am thankful for all the great tips and advice you have. I am wondering what you used to make the center hole on your middle tier? An extra piece of dowel? And then what is your suggestion for making the center hole on your top tier without going through your top layer of icing? Thank you in advance!
I plan to do my own semi nude cake with caramelised fig in the top and sides. I have never made a teared cake, you have some great tips in here. Thankyou
I know it's not your choice and that you're following the orders for that cake...but that is the plainest wedding cake I've ever seen. I do love your tutorial.
Do you ever freeze your cakes in preparation? I'm making a cake this week and am planning on freezing it before I use it. Have you found this as a tactic that works for you?
Hi Chelsea, what is the brand for the bottom cake drum you used? It looked super easy to cut your dowel hole and I loved that it was white!! Thanks a billion!
Hi. Thanks for the great tutorial. You said just prior to assembling the three tiers, that the frosting had been done the day before. Where did you store your frosted cakes overnight?
aw thanks! Sadly I don't really work with fondant often, so I dont really plan to ever make a fondant wedding cake🙈 I'm really just a buttercream girl through and through!!! ❤️ I'm also terrible with fondant!! haha
Hi chelsea. Such an informative tutorial. Really helpful. Would you mind sharing the link to purchase the cakeboards which already got a hole in the center? Thank you
Hi Chelsie, can you please tell me how many recipes you used per pan? Like 1 full recipe for the three 6” pans, 2 recipes for all three 8” cakes etc. Thank you!!!
Great video. Really easy to follow and with your cheerful disposition makes it great to watch, so thank you for sharing. You mentioned cream cheese frosting, I've seen that a lot of bakers don't use cream cheese frosting because of it being left around for a while at weddings and because it apparently doesn't hold up so well as perhaps a buttercream or ermine frosting. Do you have any thoughts/advice on that. Thanks.
Thanks for your cake tutorial, so informative the best I've liked. I'll be baking my sisters wedding cake soon and great tips on yours. Just one question? For the base of the whole cake, what is the measurement and what type of board it is? I'll be baking the same 12". 9" & 6". Thanks.
Sorry if this is a stupid question... so you keep the cake board on the bottom of each sized layer when you stack the cake. When you serve the cake do you disassemble each sized layer?
Do you need to refrigerate before sending it off? I don’t have a big refrigerator to chill it. I am just using a normal buttercream frosting in the fillings and royal icing on decorating
Hey Chelsea have you heard of the cakesafe? Super expensive but TOTALLY WORTH IT! I got one for my birthday last year and you can literally tilt your cake while it’s in the safe.
I hadn't heard of it until a couple weeks ago, and had no idea it existed! I don't really make wedding cakes often or have the space the store it (my apt is less than 600 sq ft!), but my friends that have it swear by it!!! If i ever do more wedding cakes, I'm def going to invest in one!
Do you pre cut a hole through the center of the top tier too, or just the middle tier? Also, someone else asked this in an earlier comment, but do you bake all 3 sizes at 350 degrees?
I've got a three tier wedding cake order for this Sunday. The bride is having someone come to pick up the cake but plans to have the cake placed onto a cake stand at the venue. Is this going to work? I've transferred cakes onto cake stands, but never a 3 tier one already stacked. Any recommendations for how to approach this one?
Thank you for sharing all your awesome videos there very informative. I'm working on a naked cake 4 teirs this weekend and I'm terrified to transport it. I think I'm going go assemble there 😫😫😫😫
Alethea Watkins no I haven't tried her recipe. As I have my own. But I'm sure hers is delicious too. But I have my cake posted on Instagram Cake Pop Mafia is my IG.
it varies if you use a flower nail! But for me, it's usually 30-32 for 6 inch, about 35 for 9 inch, and 35 for 12 inch as well (I use two flower nails to help them bake more evenly and quickly!)
didnt see this question in the comments and if i missed it i apologize for asking again lol BUT... How much does a cake like this usually cost? and how do you base your prices?
I need help! I’m making this cake for my wedding and I’ve done 2 trial (months apart) and my cakes are not as brown as yours! There pale….. I don’t wanna over bake them but do I kind of have to and then add simple syrup to get them moist again! Help, my wedding is in April 2022 xoxox
Oh God I despise transportation of any baked good! Cakes are literally a heart attack waiting to happen for me! I always want to cry when I know I have to take the cake any distance! You're amazing and these tips are lifesaving :)
Would love to see your process all the way through to delivery of the cake...and set up.🌷🚍
This video by far is the most in depth detail I’ve seen!! It has eased my anxiety for sure lol !!God bless you for this!! 🙏🏼

@@Chelsweets It did!!!! I also ordered the Wilton cake boards with the pre-cut whole. That was a great share. Blessings💜💜
Can you do a video on different ways to decorate seminaked cakes
that is a great idea!! I'd def add that to my list :)
I would like to say thank you Chelsea!!
Thanks to you and your fabulous videos, I was able to make a semi naked cake for 200 people 😳 for a sweet 16 party.

Where do I find all this information
I watched your video many times and it gave me the confidence to make my nephews wedding cake. It turned out amazing and everyone loved it. Thanks for making such a informative video.
Hey, there! This is a really great video! This might be a silly and random question but how much would you say a cake this size serves?
Such an informative tutorial. Thank you, I’ve just had all of my questions answered and now I feel ready to attempt my first semi-naked cake.
Brilliant tutorial!! Can I ask, how you made the simple syrup? I will be making my own wedding cake, so I would be so grateful. Stay safe and well🙏🏻
Thank you. Your video was perfect! I am making my friends wedding cake and this style is one of the options for decoration. Its my first tiered cake so this video was really helpful :)
Thank you so much for your video. I will be making my son's wedding cake. I will use this video as a guide to make it. THANKS again
How do you poke a hole through your cakes so that the dowel doesn't tear them up?
Love it! I haven’t mastered stacking my tiered cakes yet; they are never centered. But I love making cakes. I’ve followed you for forever and now created this business account to share my cakes and treat designs. For now I’ll stick to treats. I’m not bold enough to record myself doing cakes 🤣 . Thanks for the tips!!
I'm so happy to hear that!! Tiered cakes are definitely a challenge, but it gets easier with practice I promise!! ❤️

Thanks for the box tip too!! I need this for May 4th! Also I use slip pads inside of my cake boxes to keep them from moving around. 😊
I just Love watching your videos. AWESOMENESS!!!!
haha aw thanks Jazzy!!! :)
I love your videos! Can you show us the finished product once you brought them to the venue? Haha! I just love beautiful cakes. Thank you!
I plan to do my own semi nude cake with caramelised fig in the top and sides. I have never made a teared cake, you have some great tips in here. Thankyou
*tiered
Not "teared". But nice try changing naked to nude. Sounded so intelligent. When literally everyone else calls it "naked".
@@audreymai2773 Thankyou for your pointless comment👏
I know it's not your choice and that you're following the orders for that cake...but that is the plainest wedding cake I've ever seen.
I do love your tutorial.
@Maryam Kabal well that changes everything....lol.....have a great weekend.
@Maryam Kabal Thank you my sister🌷

Can you make and then freeze cakes. How many days ahead of wedding can you make your cake. Wish you lived in Colorado!
Hi Chelsie, can you please tell me how many recipes you used per pan? Like 1 full recipe for the three 6” pans, 2 recipes for all three 8” cakes etc. Thank you!!!
Hi there, thanks for sharing this! How does this cake do if made about a week early and frozen
Hallo Chelsey, I am just enjoying watching your video. Thanks for giving us tips. New sub here. Keep connected. Regards from Germany 🇩🇪 💖.
Thank you for these helpful videos !!! Keep up the great work !

Very helpful tutorial Chelsey, I use proper cardboard boxes too, those white ones are so flimsy! Hope you had a lovely time at the wedding 💕
right?! I swear a good cardboard box is the best option!! I did have a wonderful time at the wedding, it was a magical night :)
💝💝💝💝💝💝

Hi! Thank you for such useful video, quick quiestion how many slices was this cake for
Anyone know how long the cream cheese frosting would keep once the cake has been frosted? Either in or out of a fridge?
You answered every single question I had !! Thank you!
Chelsea what do you think of 14 “ 10 “ 6” tiered cake ? Are those sizes ok . I want something to look very cohesive .
Do you need to refrigerate before sending it off? I don’t have a big refrigerator to chill it. I am just using a normal buttercream frosting in the fillings and royal icing on decorating
What temp did you bake the 12” and how long please
Hi I would like to ask how do you bake your cake layers without dome and prevention from uneven bake in the middle
Beautiful..you inspired me a lot. Well done.
Aw, thank you!!! ❤️
Love the tutorial. What other frosting can I use with this cake? TIA
When you prepare and ice your layers the night before, do you refrigerate them or leave them out?
I refrigerate them once the layers are frosted and stacked! ❤️
Thank you! How did you stop crumbs from falling into the buttercream?
Fantastic video! 😊
Hey Chelsea have you heard of the cakesafe? Super expensive but TOTALLY WORTH IT! I got one for my birthday last year and you can literally tilt your cake while it’s in the safe.

Wow love it. How did you make white buttercream icing?
thank you for sharing those cool steps
I love your show and your cake you might even do my wedding cake
I want to make a cake like this but my layers came out thinner. What cake pans did you use?
Hi I am wondering you said 12inch what is the depth? please thank you.
Do you pre cut a hole through the center of the top tier too, or just the middle tier? Also, someone else asked this in an earlier comment, but do you bake all 3 sizes at 350 degrees?
do you freeze the cakes or refrigerate the cakes the night before you stack them???
Hi, how many centre dowels do you use for a 4 tier cake
Do you have a recipe for your cream cheese frosting?
I've got a three tier wedding cake order for this Sunday. The bride is having someone come to pick up the cake but plans to have the cake placed onto a cake stand at the venue. Is this going to work? I've transferred cakes onto cake stands, but never a 3 tier one already stacked. Any recommendations for how to approach this one?
Thank you for sharing all your awesome videos there very informative. I'm working on a naked cake 4 teirs this weekend and I'm terrified to transport it. I think I'm going go assemble there 😫😫😫😫
How did it turn out for you? Did you use the recipe in video?
Alethea Watkins no I haven't tried her recipe. As I have my own. But I'm sure hers is delicious too. But I have my cake posted on Instagram Cake Pop Mafia is my IG.
Fun fact: levelling ur cake is NOT optional!
I never level my cakes...what happens if I don’t ?
Chelsweets, would filling 2 layer cake achieve the height for 3 unfilled layers?
Can I please ask, a wedding cake for 100 people what size tins should I use,?? The bride only wants 2 tear cake. Thank you
Watching ur videos is so calming 😌
Hi Chels
Could you use your vanilla cake recipe to make this naked cake? thx 🩷
Am I the only one wondering how you cut into a cake with multiple tiers?
Do you have a recipe for the batter? How much did you use?
How do you prevent crumbs from getting mixed into the thin frosting coating on the sides?
How did you poke a hole in the center for the second tier?
What's the recipe for this cake. Can you use box cakemix
This was an AWESOME tutorial!😊
Can we use Italian meringue frosting for wedding cakes?
Good job! Love you work
What would be the temperature & timing? on 6,9 and 12..Thank you
it varies if you use a flower nail! But for me, it's usually 30-32 for 6 inch, about 35 for 9 inch, and 35 for 12 inch as well (I use two flower nails to help them bake more evenly and quickly!)
@@Chelsweets , thank you for getting back to me...😁👍 would the temp be all the same? 350
Wooow .!! For how many people is that cake???😳
didnt see this question in the comments and if i missed it i apologize for asking again lol BUT... How much does a cake like this usually cost? and how do you base your prices?
Thanks for the tutorial. You mention you were using a lemon buttercream, any chance of the recipe please

Hi fantastic job!! Any recepe fotr this cake
What brand of serrated knife do you use
What I do is use the cake pan itself as the leveler so all cakes come out the same height I’m making a 14 in, 10, 6 wedding cake 3 layer 3 tier cake
Out of curiosity- how many servings is this cake?
Awesome job Chelsea!! How many bubble tea straws did you use in each tier?

Yes refrigerate after frosting and stacking
I love that!!
