Thank you Rsarah. That was the whole idea of making the video. A good recommendation is to do a "trial run" of a single tiered cake before attempting a two or three tiered cake.
Man since I was in elementary school I’m now 18 and for some reason I keep coming back to this Cause it’s so satisfying to watch and how smooth it looks 😂😂I’m not even interested into making one I just love watching it’s like therapy
step by step i was watching your "how to make a wedding cake" video and made my own wedding cake!!!! took me 3 days to make it,but at the end i was so proud of myself!!! and the cake was amazing and yummi! thank you so much
Pull on binomial think inning into ugh UTM into it'll ugh hbhhb Gunn Tunku I I have to be at the store to pick my call to be on my phone so you get home
You could easily make your cake 3 days before the wedding, depending on the type of cake you make and the filling. I would recommend using a moist, denser type cake that will hold up well. Also, be sure to completely ice the cakes in buttercream, right down to the board, so that they are completely sealed in buttercream. This preserves moisture and freshness in the cake.
Am a cake trainee am learning daily. This kept me going will try this some day in my free time to perfect my hand work 🥰. Thks sir for sharing you does gave me courage not to loose confidence in myself. Kudos
When you are decorating any cake,but especially a tiered cake, you need to position your decorations so that there are not evident seams in the front of the cake. By marking the back of the cake, I always know where the front is and I make sure the decorations are placed appropriately.
The only reason I set the tiers to the back was for the design element. Everyone is familiar with cakes being stacked in the centered position. My concept was to show that a cake can be stacked in different ways to achieve a different overall appearance.
GlobalSugarArt From everyone here at TH-cam, I wanted to take the time and let you know just how UTTERLY POINTLESS this video was. You didn't give any recipes for the cake, the icing, frosting or anything remotely relevant. Thanks for nothing "Chef"
To cover the three cakes and for molding you would need approximately 10 pounds of fondant and about 5 pounds of buttercream icing. This, of course, is all dependent on how thick you ice the cake and how thick you roll your fondant.
We have a fondant chart on our website under Tutorials. The amount needed all depends on the size of tiers you are covering. If you are a beginner, purchase extra as you may not roll it as thin as an experienced decorator.
Wow here i am again cannot skip watching your tutorials..Great and very concise..thank u Chef youre such a very good in teaching..students will not gt bored while listening❤
You can either use a fondant rope or you can thicken buttercream with lots of powdered sugar until it is firm enough to roll into a rope by hand. Either will work well.
There many more "finishing" touches I could have done on this wedding cake like joining the lace pieces seamlessly. My intention was to show that nearly anyone can make this cake and not worry about the minute details and still have a nice looking cake. So my answer is no, it does not have to be perfect to be beautiful,
I like your tutorial videos coz you try to be detailed and accurately going step by step. You should really keep up. You are very audible. Following from Kenya.
If your white fondant is too dry, you should switch recipes or try another brand. You usually cannot add anything to fondant to make it softer without ruining the properties of the fondant (i.e. Shine and elasticity) . You could try adding a little white vegetable shortening like Crisco or Trex and that may be enough to soften the fondant for you.
hi sir, thank you for sharing your ideas making this wedding cake.. you are a big help to people like me that dont have a budget to go to baking school to study there.. do you have tutorial for making edible flower/s for wedding cake?
Chef Alan your voice is therapy to me, I love cake but I become a very relaxed jello after watching your videos. You have 2 gifts...an awesome chef and asmr artist 😊
Absolutely amazing work. I am still having nightmares leading up to icing my daughters communion cake. You make it look so easy. Thank you for sharing.
We hope to be launching a line of cake mixes deigned specifically for fondant wedding cakes. There really are SO many cake recipes that would work well, it would be hard to do a tutorial on this subject.
If you use only fondant in the molds, the molded pieces tend to stretch out of shape very easily when applying them to the cake. The bottom borders would be fine to use all fondant but the larger side borders may be difficult to work with.
+FJ Davantes Here is a link to a video I made on how to calculate the amount of batter needed in any size pan. www.globalsugarart.com/video-tutorial.php?id=10
You always have the option of kneading in a flavoring into fondant or gumpaste if you are concerned about flavor. But, I agree, most gumpaste or 50/50 decorations are removed from the cake when it is served.
Sir, I don’t know the first thing about this, but because of your skill as a teacher, I would have no qualms about volunteering to make one of those myself.
Very large cakes can be covered with fondant but it takes some skill. Once the fondant is rolled out the required size,roll the fondant over a large 3-4 inch diameter clean PVC pipe, then unroll it over the cake. It may take two people handling the rolling pin but it can be done.
Thanks for sharing this is my first time watching your program it's a pleasure watching you you have different techniques you're the best thank you I'll be watching you more often
Sir you are amazing and I have learn some details which I didn’t know before….. as hobby baker I will follow your advice. Thank you so much. Greetings from Amsterdam 🙏🙏🙏😄
You can easily cover the fondant with gel-paste food coloring. I try not to recommend recipes or fondant as each decorator has their favorites depending on local humidity and taste preferences.
I love your tutorials. Thank you. Can you please advise how you would transport this cake when it is complete. I need to drive approximately 30 km to the wedding venue with the cake.
I love..love..looooooove your tutorials!!!!!! I live in Greece and the seminars are tooooo expensive concidering the economical crisis!!!! I am a begginer and your tutorials are soooooooooooooooooo helpful!!!! I love your work!!! I wish some day to make cakes just beautiful as yours!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Vicky!!!
Great video! Thank you so much for sharing. I do have a question: how long must you wait after laying the fondant before touching the cake? In other words, once I have made the second layer, how long should I wait before placing it on the first layer, since this requires touching the icing a bit?
good question. If you do it right away, the fondant it still soft and can be smoothed again easily. If not right away, I like to wait for a few hours for the cake to settle and the icing to firm up.
Hello Chef Alan, It is very nice to see you working again. My internet had been down for a while due to construction but I’m back up and running now. I was wondering if you do modeling of Fondant for things like baby showers and kids Birthday party cakes? I do not remember ever seeing anything like that that on here. I would love to see some things like that for inspiration. I really need lots of help when it comes to that. Thank you so much.. Jilli-Bean
I am SO doing this for my friend's wedding next week! Can you please recommend a yellow cake recipe? Also, are there different & better brands of fondant & filling? If you add a couple drops of food coloring - can you color the fondant? Thank you SO much! I am so excited to start this project!
Chef,i love your video you explain everything very well and very easy to follow,i am only getting back to baking as it was a passion of mine a few years back and really enyoying it,so thanh you for all your tips i think your amazing,Thank you so much.
Wow!, How creative! (I love baking) I've been always wanting to bake a wedding cake for someone in my family, but i know some day in the future i will bake a wedding cake for someone Thank you :)
Thank you! I plan on making cakes for people that may not be able to afford them &/or terminally ill. This definitely lead me in the right direction! Doesn't global sugar art provide classes/training?
Hello Sir, much inspired and motivated by watching your tutorials..would like to try a tiered cake first time. Please could you help me how do i go about with it..i mean how many days prior to start ? If bake cakes 2 days prior or so will they turn out dry? Many questions n doubts in mind...Thank you so much in advance 🙂
Hello Alan! Great tutorial!! On your buttercream icing, do you use any real butter in it? I am making my friends wedding cake next week. She loves my buttercream. I use 1 stick butter, then 1 1/4 cup of High Ratio shortening. She wants her cake wrapped in Ivory Fondant. Should I leave out the butter on this one? I loved the tip about using fondant roll to dam the cake vs. wide roll of buttercream. Let me know your thoughts. Thank you for your wonderful tutorials!
I'm undertaking my first 2 layer cake for a baby shower, thanks for all the detailed instructions!! I hope my cake turns out as nice as yours!
Absolutely. I am going to do a tutorial on making a wedding cake using buttercream icing as well. Hopefully it will be done in late June.

What a great teacher!! Lots of hints. The hem marker...great idea.
the mountain ridge tip and cutting from the middle out is a great tip thanks.
A buttercream dam tends to push out the sides and creates a bulge around the middle of the cake. The firmer fondant dam prevents that from happening.
I love the rose borders very pretty!
Everything from the Karen Davies line is just gorgeous isn't it? 💗
Beautiful and very informative thank you much
My best teacher ever. Great work sir.
I thought it was going to be much more difficult than it actually is.Thanks so much for this tutorial it has everything I need!!!! :)
I too though it was difficult it's much easier than I thought
