Awesome video! You are the first and only baker, which I've seen, that can make a wedding cake tutorial actually seem unintimidating, which is meant as a compliment. I love your style, girl!! Jersey girls rule!👏👏👏👏
I absolutely LOVE how your explaining skills are so easy to follow and you get to the point real good! My compliments holy crap these vids are amazing👍🏻
Wow, thank you!
This was the ULTIMATE wedding cake tutorial I have ever seen hands down! I just watched your How to slice a wedding cake video too, and it was the best video of it's kind as well! You are a very talented LADY my dear! Your teaching method is unmatched and detailed perfectly! Thank you for all of the valuable information. You are most definitely a God send! xoxoxo :-)
YAY! thank you and you are welcome too! :)
Thank you for advising people to perfect the crumb coat! It's frustrating to hear cakers say it doesn't matter but I know, from experience, that when you have a flawless crumb coat, the final coat is SO much easier to get smooth. And its so easy to have a smooth crumb coat.
This is without a doubt Gretchen one of the most organized tutorials on how to make a wedding cake. You lay it all out for those who dare to go beyond just making desserts. I think though that I would rather use your American Buttercream recipe for the making of the flowers. That is the best recipe for making the most delicious icing ever. I froze my leftovers an ate it like ice cream. Yes I love it that much. It is superior in taste especially with the high ratio shortening used to give it stability. If I were to make a grande cake I could use the American buttercream for flowers? I would love to learn how to make petunias out of the buttercream. Hint, Hint! lol Gretchen I am so glad that I found you! You make my life so much easier! Yes, you are the proverbial jack of all trades and a gorgeous boyfriend to boot. Ms. Gretchen you are the total package!
Thankyou! Yes to buttercream flowers the BEST for that! I do it all the time! ruclips.net/video/23xZFT6hFLI/видео.html
YAY Im glad you found me too! :) and Imheaded to NJ tomorrow to see him :)
Hi Gretchen. I know you've moved on to a new phase in your Baking and personal life and are now providing Vegan recipes, but I'm sure glad we can still access these recipes and tutorials. I agree with other posters - your approach and directions are so user-friendly. Thanks and Cheers from Canada.
Thank you for your understanding! and you are so welcome! this is part of my past and I put so much work into it! Thanks for sticking around!
I absolutely love the way you explained everything. Detail by detail. You helped me a lot. Thank you!!!
Omg amazing. I need it for 60 people as well so now I won’t have to calculate or anything 🤩
thank you abt the tip about reusing the crumbly buttercream I always end up with a bowl.
That's just so pretty! It's nice to see a lovely, traditional cake for a change.
Using this video to help me bake my own wedding cake.
I love the amount of filling you put in-between the layers
You were talking about keeping the top tier of the wedding cake for the bride and groom on their first anniversary. Many moons ago, my mother made wedding cakes and she made mine. The top layer was saturated with brandy as a preservative and we did have it a year later, which was the tradition way back then. Of course, I won't say how we all felt after eating it!
My grandson will be turning 16 this month and I've decided that I want to do him a tier cake. I'm so excited about making the cake and even more since I've watched your tutorial video. Keep them coming. I love them.
Great! thankyou!!
This was easier than I thought. EXCELLENT VIDEO.
You are truly my hero. I felt like I had to do every single detail on my cakes. Will definitely be ordering flowers from now on.
Wow!!!absolutely beautiful.
Great tutorial for beginners! Thank you so much!!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!! At first you lost me for a moment during the part I was most interested in since you talked about a 12, but didn't show the building of it when it came to how much recipe would I be using. Then again I was reading and listening at the same time. Had to stop, go back and just listen fully that time. This comes at a perfect time and I thank you again!!!!! Now onto the blog. -bows before the Goddess-
What a great tip about the parchment liners! I've made tiered cakes and grimaced as they were disassembled for serving and half the buttercream came off the lower tier. Thanks so much, Gretchen! I never end one of your videos without learning something!
Oh! And thanks so much for the fondantflowers.com link! What a great resource!!!
thank you ROY! and you are welcome too!
So glad I could help give you some ideas! REALLY beautiful cake! I didn't know what else I could possibly learn, but you surprised me! Now onto how to cut the darned thing!
Perfect video/tutorial.
Beautiful cake!
This looked great Gretchen! I would honestly make this for myself and I'm not getting married for a long time 😂
Gretchen you sure know your onions and you're a delight to watch. Thanks, I've learnt a lot from you. Peace!
thankyou! LOL

I loved this!! Please do more like this! :D
Excellent vid, Gretchen! What a lovely cake combination.
Gretchen, what an amazing video. I think you demystified the building of a 3 wedding cake for everyone. 😊 I really loved it. I've seen another video of a 3 tier wedding cake done by somebody else on craftsy a few years ago, by a guy, I think he was won Food Network cake challenge. I can't remember his name, but his video was very good, along and your other video of doing this were the only ones I've ever saw of making a 3 tier wedding cake. Yours were much better hands down! 😊. There is nothing wrong with taking a little help from an outside source, especially with fondant flowers. I know the struggle. I have a funny story to tell you. I have to fit in the comment below.
There was show I seen, but I cannot remember which channel it was on, and it would have cameras put up where a manager or owner of a business would watch secretly to see what the workers were doing and if they were stealing or what went on behind the scenes or how they react with employees or customers when he was not around. In this big deli or place which had a bakery, there was this very worker who was trouble, they secretly had these two actors come in as a couple to order a wedding cake, the bride wanted chocolate cake, she kept convincing them that it's traditionally white, not chocolate, well when she argued with them telling them white is traditional. She got so upset she wind up throwing a cake or something at the couple missing them going nuts! In front of customers. 😮 Yikes! The manager fired her. If the customer wants a carrot cake she's gets carrot cake.
LOL!! so true!
Awesome video. It helps a lot. Thank you so so much 💗
THE BEST TUTORIAL EVER!!! THANKS!!
thankyou!
Beautiful cake. I think I could make this
Great video, Gretchen! Thanks for sharing this!
Great, informative video! Thanks, Grertchen!
Beautiful cake. Thanks for the tutorial.
Very nicely done! Many thumbs up!!
Thanku for making the effort ur tips are supper amazing
Thank you for your detailed explanation.. Might try this..
I’m so nervous about this I don’t want to fail specially it’s my wedding cake.
hi Gretchen love your stacking method
thanks!
Thank you for all the info. The video was lovely. 🍰💗
HI Gretchen, I have to make my first ever wedding cake next week! (panic!). Questions:
1. Is it true that freezing the undecorated cakes (well wrapped) is actually better than keeping them (well wrapped) in the fridge?
2. If I stack the cakes the night before and keep them in fridge, will they get dry? or should i just keep them in room temperature?
3. When transporting, do you usually keep the cake in a box that cover the all the cake height , or just a base with the cake open on the top?
*** hopefully you will show us tutorial in the future about how to transport wedding cake :)
THANK YOU GRETCHEN!
I just love this cake . I will try to make this very soon. it will be my first time attempting to do this.
sheander grillis wasn't it fun?
Joel Lloyd didnt try it as yet!!
This cake looks amazing!
I love this vidéo I keep watching it again and again
Wow Gretchen this wedding cake was absolutely amazing! You are so good at this skill I really can't believe you sold your bakery cause it's defiantly your calling!!! Do you still sale cakes and pastries one the side once you make them on RUclips? Girl you are the bomb! Thanks for sharing
I loved everything but I hate these flowers. they look very old fashion and not elegant enough. But your own handy work is unbelievable. love it.
I NEVER skip forward. EVER........nuff' said.
yay thanks!
Same!
I hope you invited people over to help you eat this cake! I love cake, but even that is a lot for 1 person!!

thankyou!!
nice looking cake.
Kindly upload a puff pastry recipe pls !
Can you please do a tutorial of your Golden Vanilla Butter cake?
Amazing!
Hi Gretchen, I have a question I'd like to ask you. I noticed in the video that you put a separate dowel rod in the center of each cake tier along with additional support wooden dowel rods. Are you ever nervous that your cake tiers will shift during delivery or slide apart?
The reason I ask is because the method I was taught on how to build a wedding cakes, is that when constructing a stacked wedding cake, once all the layers are assembled; sharpen a wooden dowel rod on one end and insert the dowel down thru the center of the top tier, using rolling pin to carefully punch it thru the cake boards until it hits the bottom support base. Once the dowel rod is just below the surface of the icing; using a piping bag, fill the hole in the top tier then smooth out the icing.
HI, I do not use center dowel rods (I have never used them) and never had any trouble on transport or for 5+ hours out at a reception. It is of course your preference if you prefer to do it that way, by all means go for it
Very infotmative. thank you!
beautiful cake, gretchen! quick question, what do you do with all of the cake/desserts you make after the videos are filmed? judging by your stunning beach bod a few videos ago, there's no way you eat them all :P
awe thanks! I gave most of it to my neighbors they were having a birthday party!
I learned something new!
This was posted just in time! My friend asked me to bake her wedding cake! I was wondering if you have a blog about pricing? I'm not sure where to start on that
Hi Gretchen, I noticed in the recipe of golden vanilla cake there is no milk or liquid i just want to make sure I’m doing the right thing lol 😂 don’t want to fail.
Thanks your help is much appreciated.
HI Sarah, yes the recipe is correct :)
Gretchen's Bakery thank you one more thing please don’t be mad at me lol 😂
Do I need to cook the raspberry purée with sugar for the Swiss buttercream or just purée them uncooked. 👍
People do it both ways, I prefer to cook them because it breaks them down more and extracts more juice in a more concentrated form (*more flavor) but you can omit the sugar of course, it depends on how sweet my berries are, I do 0- a few tablespoons depending on what nature gave me
Gretchen's Bakery thank you so much for your quick reply.
Question: I’m guessing it won’t matter if I use bamboo dowels instead of regular wood? I know a place where they sell hard bamboo sticks, but never seen them selling them in regular wood kind:/
Yes that would be totally fine
@@GretchensVeganBakery great! Thx:)

Thnk u gretchen😍
you are always my rock, I would like to make a wedding cake for my brother ,and i need to know please how long it takes to order the fondant flower? Please give me a quick replay thank u in advance.
I love the video, it's given me some great advice for a wedding cake I'm doing. But question about the fondant flowers. Im making the on my own, is it best to make them with. wire or without? And if I dok make them with a wire, can they go directly into the cake or do I cover them with florist tape first? Also heard about posey picks, wouldn't I lose a lot of cake if I used them?
HI Thanks! I agree about the posey picks they are really large and really disturb the cake.
I think depending on the type of flower wires are best for most.
I think wherever you are getting your fondant flower tutorial they should probably advice what is best there. Good luck! I hope you share on my facebook page!
Nice cake
I just love you videos! I watched the video and I understand putting the dowels in the cake but I didn't see you putting a dowel thru all the cake layers to secure them together. What if you weren't putting the layers together on site?
Hi Thanks! Yes I mentioned that i do not use dowels that go all the way through I do not prefer that method but if you do you can, click here for more gretchensbakery.com/how-to-make-a-wedding-cake/
j adore un très beau gâteau 🎂
Very Nice😍
Finally finally finally!!! 😍
Beautiful cake
thank you!
Hi Gretchen, I been watching your channel long time ago but I just hit subscribed today big thumps up, great tutorial. I will make this cake on my wedding hope it will turns out great. Quick question I noticed you used cream cheese on your yellow butter cakes just wondering what does it do would it taste better than just normal butter cake?
Thanks so much.
I mean golden vanilla cake not not butter cake .
awesome! thankyou so much!! It's just 2 completely different recipes really, the cream cheese version makes it more dense like pound cake and the butter cake is more like a sponge cake, a bit lighter
So which would you recommend thanks for the quick reply.
Gretchen's Bakery great tutorial of all thank you so much
From Australia.
You are awesome 💕
i will make that cake🎂🎂🎂For my moms widing😘😘😘
Hello thank you so much for this video so helpful and well done. I want to know why don't you put any syrup on the cake to moist it?
great you are welcome, this is not a sponge cake so it is not necessary click here for more www.gretchensbakery.com/what-is-cake/
Thank you l loved it
hey Gretchen.Thank you for the informative video. i have 1 question, how do you deal with bulging? or how do you avoid cakes from bulging.
The bulging typically comes from too much filling that is trying to creep back out. I make sure I use a good sized buttercream dam to keep it all in and make sure it stay refrigerated up until the time of the event
FIRST I love these!
yay! winner winner!
thank you for making this sound so doable and unintimidating!
awsoooooome thank u so much
Hi Gretchen, is the Swiss buttercream in this recipe already equivalent to frost this cake? Or does it need to be 3 times the recipe. Thanks I’m excited to make this wedding cake .
The recipe listed is for 1X only , to make enough to fill and frost this cake you would need to make it 3X
good luck!!
Gretchen's Bakery thank you
Can you tell me how much filling you use to make it that even? 1/2 cup, 1/4 cup, etc?
Hey! Great Video
HEY THANKS!
Hi Gretchen. Is this the hot milk sponge cake you are using?
Judy Fleming yes
hi Gretchen, my vanilla cake recipe makes 3 nine inch layers so how would I scale up or down the recipe to make 2 twelve inch cakes, 2 ten inch cakes, 2 eight inch cakes and 2 six inch cakes? thanks
Hi didnt you use flower pics to stick the flowers on to the cake?
I did not, these are fondant flowers so it was already on wires
