@changeusername56 7 лет назад

hi Edna thank you for a beautiful tutorial . i just want to know when you put the final 2 large dowels through the cake from top all the way to the bottom, how did they go right through the boards which are underneath each tier. what kind of board were they because the ones i have are pretty strong i don't think any dowel would go through them.. im just a beginner..thank you

@EdnaDelacruz 7 лет назад

You can use regular cake boards or you can use and even core foam would work. You do need to sharpen the dowel so it breaks through the cardboard. The sharp part starts the hole in the cardboard so it can pass through it.

@EdnaDelacruz 7 лет назад

Usually you have to un-stack the cake

@arielraye5027 6 лет назад

Hi, Edna Do you recommend delivering the cake in one piece or in separate pieces ?

@EdnaDelacruz 6 лет назад

I always delivered them fully done but you got to keep in mind that they need to be stacked well and they need to be straight at all times and not left in hot cars. Some people tilt them while they are carrying and that can create a lot of issues. You also need to make sure that you can deal with the weight. Stacked cakes can be heavy.

With the cake board under the stacked cake, how did the longer dowel go through all the way to the 4 tires to the bottom?

@EdnaDelacruz 6 лет назад

You need to sharpen the dowel so it breaks the cardboard. It's like a nail breaking wood.

@aayoteemukhopadhyay5539 7 лет назад

if you used boards under each cake then how did you made hole in them when you used those wooden dowls thru the whole stacked cake?

@EdnaDelacruz 7 лет назад

The wooden dowel needs to be sharpen so it breaks the cardboard just like a nail does in wood.

@desireedsouza447 4 года назад

Very helpful video....I have one concern....does the butter cream stick to the board of the cake above?

@EdnaDelacruz 4 года назад

It tends to do that due to the weight of the cake. Adding wax paper helps to prevent it some.

@cindyboor7876 6 лет назад

I wonder how you slice a cake like this and do you separate the cakes while serving and what about the dowels? Do they ruin the cake slices? My granddaughter is turning 2 in March and I have to bake a two teir frozen cake. I'm not much of a baker and I'm worried about not having a good recipe for chocolate and yellow cake and being able to stack let along decorate it. What kind of frosting to use and maybe just frosting it not using fondant . What do you suggest? I need all the help I can get. Thanks.

@EdnaDelacruz 6 лет назад

All cakes in tiers need dowels without them you can't have them stacked. Go to my website and check the recipes. I need to post another recipe that I use for chocolate that is amazing but I haven't done it because I wanted to do a tutorial for it. Let me see if I can post the recipe this week for the moment. The white cake recipe is amazing and goes great with raspberry preserves in my personal opinion. You need to add some frosting under the fondant to seal the crumbs of the cake and for flavor. For cutting the cake you would need to lift the top tier up, take the dowels out and the unstack all cakes. Start cutting the big cake first. With tiers there is always a bit of damage in the frosting where is stacked, but nothing you can do about it. Once the cake is cut, people don't care or even see an issue. They just want cake!

@cindyboor7876 6 лет назад

I don't think I'll be using fondant just buttercream? But I really appreciate you getting back to me and posting the recipe before next week. I really don't know much about fondant so I'm a little afraid of using that even tho it seems so much smoother. Just don't know how it is to cut or eat? Thanks so much for all your help.

@yunelsonsr 6 лет назад

Cindy Boor tiers are lifted and cut on to a separate cutting board. Depending how on tall your cake will be, the support system must be able to carry the weight without wobble. Else the cake can collapse during transport, or better yet, you can assemble at the venue. My suggestion is to draw and plan out your cake, including the support system. You can erase what you drew on the paper, but it is more difficult to remake a cake. Each cake must have cake board underneath for easy handling and separation during lifting. Our weather is hot and humid, buttercream is almost impossible. I usually use white chocolate or chocolate ganache to cover cakes. HTH.

Hola Edna! Estoy pensando hacer un bizcocho Boricua (mojadito) de dos pisos. Algunas sugerencias? Y crees que debo poner un palito de arriba abajo como aqui para uno de 2 pisos?

@EdnaDelacruz 6 лет назад

SI, cuando haces bizcochos de más de un piso siempre tienes que ponerle los dowels. Especialmente con el bizcocho boricua que es tan delicado.

@rubyisaacju 6 лет назад

Edna De la Cruz gracias Edna! Siempre tan atenta a nosotras. Tengo terror hacerlo pero voy a zumbarme a ver lol. Voy a ponerlos alrededor y uno entre medio de arriba a abajo entonces. Disculpa la molestia pero crees que debería humedecer el bizcocho menos para estar segura?

Hi Edna, your frosting looks amazing..is the BC in the tutorial Swiss BC?

@EdnaDelacruz 7 лет назад

The buttercream I use in this one is a Crusting buttercream and is posted in my website. I will post soon a tutorial on easy swiss buttercream but I usually don't use it for stack cakes here in Florida. It gets too soft due to heat.

@32khadijah 6 лет назад

Edna De la Cruz as I read the comments I noticed you said you use a crust type BC because of the weather which I live in Florida as well. I wanted to know would it be good if I use another type such as a Swiss BC when I'm layering the cakes and use the crusted kind on the outside? Please let me no I have an big order this weekend.. Thanks

@32khadijah 6 лет назад

Edna De la Cruz oh and one more thing when using a crusted BC will edible diamonds & or pearls stick well on the outside without falling off? Thanks again

@KR-vm6es 6 лет назад

Hi Edna, after stacking cakes how many hours or days cake stay stable and doesn't shrink?

@EdnaDelacruz 6 лет назад

If you do a good job and use a strong cake and buttercream it can stay up for 2 days but I prefer not to do that. My preference is doing it the day before.

@KR-vm6es 6 лет назад

Edna De la Cruz thank you for replying fast, love you for that. What do you mean by strong cake, I used Swiss maringue buttercream for filling and a chocolate cake is this combination good enough?

@dek2711 7 лет назад

edna im confused...when you put the final sharpened dowel dont you need to place it where the other straws in the bottom cakes do not get in the way?

@EdnaDelacruz 7 лет назад

Don't place it in the center of the cake. move it to the side of the center. Check the video so you can see what I mean. That way you won't hit other dowels. Make sure is not too outside either.

Hi Edna!!❤️ what are sizes of each cake??

@silverwhisk1961 6 лет назад

Hi Edna! This so helpful. Thank you. You mentioned that the placement of dowels might change for a taller cake, like 4 tiers, and that it would need stronger support. What type of support do you think is good for a 4-tier cake? 3 tall dowels that go through the entire cake or something even stronger?

@EdnaDelacruz 6 лет назад

I use either wood dowels or PVC instead of cardboard. You can use a central rod if you want a stronger support. If it's a really tall cake, you can add dowels mid way that go all the way to the board to support the weight of the topper tiers.

@silverwhisk1961 6 лет назад

Oh my gosh. I appreciate your super fast response. I am making a tall 4 tier wedding cake for the first time and don't want to mess anything up! Thanks Edna! I will take your advice and add dowels mid way that go all the way down to the board and then probably do two more dowels that go through the entire cake- just in case.

@EdnaDelacruz 6 лет назад

The cake I made was a 4 tier. I only added too. Adding to much can break the cake too much. You need to stay in a happy medium.

@silverwhisk1961 6 лет назад

Oh dear. I accidentally missed the first minute of the video that shows it was a 4 tier! Thank you for clarifying that. I did not think about how too many dowels would break the cake. I'm happy I found you!

@EdnaDelacruz 6 лет назад

I always suggest to do a run test so you learn the process before you have to do a real cake under stress.

How many cups of higher ratio shortening will you need for a 6,9 & 12 inch tier cake with only crust BC on the outside and a smoother in between the layers.???

Si, es imperativo que se pongan los soportes centrales que aguanten todos los bizcochos. Aun asi, siempre hay que tener cuidado al mover bizcochos asi de altos y mantenerlos al maximo derechos para que no se caigan de lado.

Doesn't anyone miss having such little icing on top of the lower tiers? Also, how do you keep the icing from sticking to the bottom of the cake boards when disassembling?

@angelashannon9479 7 лет назад

I meant miss the icing since it's being scraped off

@angelashannon9479 7 лет назад

I meant, miss the icing since it's being scraped off

@EdnaDelacruz 7 лет назад

Actually there is still plenty of buttercream on the top of the cake since. As far as the icing not sticking to the board, you can place wax paper on both sides of the board and it helps but the weight of the cakes will pull some of the icing out no matter what. Some companies add more buttercream on the top when they unstack cakes but that is not a common thing. People usually know this happens and they just let it be.

Edna De la Cruz .. when I tried to smooth my crusting BC cake with viva, it stuck.. How are you managing you do that? Is it cold? Do you let it crust at room temp or on the fridge?
