I remember when I was stacking cakes for the first time before starting my business and how nerve wracking it was. Now it feels totally different. We all start from somewhere and get better with practice ;)
You don't know how much I needed to hear that today! I'm about to dowel my first wedding cake and I am stressed. thank you for your perspective and words of wisdom :)
Not only is she totally adorable , she's an excellent teacher. I've been at this a long while and still learn things for her. Just love her channel. I hope she is blessed for sharing all she does teaching, filming, editing and uploading
This is the BEST video. I love that you are very direct with your instructions and that you don't waste time chatting about a bunch of irrelevent stuff. All you instructions are so clear and so incredibly helpful. Looking forward to doing a much better job on my next test cake for my daughters wedding cake (OMG). Thank you so much for such a helpful tutorial!
One wouldn't know how important this video is until it's needed. I've learnt a lot from this video. It literally saved my life 😃😄. Thanks for sharing. You're very much appreciated
I love to go back to see if there are any tutorials I missed. This tutorial is very useful. I haven't yet tried to stack a cake but now I feel confident I can do it. Thank you for sharing and keep on caking 💜
Thank you so much for your comment Shyne, that is amazing of you to say. I am just so pleased you enjoyed the tutorial and I really hope it will be useful for you x
some very good tips on how to use dowels. I'm making my first tiered cake and its a wedding cake for my daughter. it will be travelling up to Scotland in 3 separate cake boxes and it will be put together on the day
Wow you are such an amazing teacher. Thanks for this video, it has answered so many challenges i have encountered stacking & dowelling as well.thanks 🤗🙏
Hi Barbara, I really hope this will be helpful. I always found by thinking of it as a table holding the cake above helped explain what the dowels and board did inside the cake. I'm so glad you like it, thank you x
I love your videos ma'am. I Always look forward to learning something new from your videos.they're so easy to follow and very detailed.thanks for always sharing.God bless you
Hi Priscilla, Thank you so much for your comment, I'm so glad you enjoy them and are able to learn something from the different videos. Thank you so much for watching x x
I'm so glad I was able to answer alot of your questions on putting together a tiered cake. If there was anything I didn't cover that you still want to know, just let me know.
Such a long video..m sure it was pain making this video for us ..it was lovely I enjoy watching till the end .. thank u so much …so much to learn for beginners…❤️
I am so glad you found the tutorial useful, thank you so much. I tried to get in as much information as I could, so I am so pleased you enjoyed watching it ❤️
Hi Lynz, absolutely love your videos, you explain everything in detail and make it easy for us to comprehend. May I ask if you use a glue between the ganache and fondant, eg brushing the ganache with water or sugar syrup? (Always seems such a shame to have huge holes in a lovely cake!) Thanks heaps, keep cool over there! X
Hi Sue, Thank you so much. I'm so glad you enjoy them. If I'm finding that my fondant isn't sticking to my ganache I usually mix a little water with some icing sugar to create a glue and brush this over the cake to help the fondant stick. I find just by adding a little icing sugar to the water it makes it a little stickier than just water on its own. x x
How tall are your cakes? They look amazing!! How do you get them to bake evenly? I’ve been trying but the outer layer burns before the center cooks even when I use a core
Your oven is absolutely too hot. Use a lower temperature and bake for a longer period. Your oven racks might also need adjusting. The cakes should be in the center of the oven.
Thank you, it's so great to hear that you liked it. It's a little longer than some of my other videos, but there was so many things I wanted to explain, lol.
I've found your video really helpful as next year i'm making a wedding cake for a friend. I was wondering if you could answer some questions for me? The cake will be a 3 tier using fondant, would I need to crumb coat or is it OK to use apricot jam then fondant? Also if I'm going to sandwich the cakes with different flavoured buttercream, would it be wise to use a centre dowel? Many thanks
Hi Lyn, really enjoy watching your videos! I have a question. When is the best time to stack your cakes? The day before or on the day? I’m afraid if I did it the night before it might bulge or slant. Thanks
Hi Lynz, I love your tutorials thank you! Can you give us a guide to ganache please? How long it can sit out of the fridge or in the fridge once covered the cakes? Do you store fondant covered cakes in the fridge? Thank you Carli
Hi! Thank you so much for this video and the tips and tricks you give. I was wondering, is it possible to tier a cake that is covered with creamcheese frosting? Of is that not possible?
Thank you for the video was very helpful. I just recall you saying the cakes should have a board underneath going ontop of the dowel I'm referring to the second and third tier.. But it doesn't look like you have boards under them.. Perhaps it is the thin one? Can someone clarify for me please.
Thanks a million for this tutorial! You saved me. I had a few situations where the cakes collapsed and I could not understand why. Very embarrassing moment. Since I watched your tutorial and followed your advice, my cakes have been ok. I also purchased some sturdy plastic stacking cake plates for peace of mind. Thanks again!
Hi Rose, I am so happy to hear the tutorial has helped you. It's never nice when things don't go well with cakes, this must have been so stressful for you. I'm just so pleased after watching the tutorial it has helped x x
Hi Lyn. great video. So can you confirm that you did not use any centre dowels? I have 11 inch and 8 inch cake to stack, and it will be cover with a hybrid buttercream. Do you think i need to add a centre dowels for these cakes to stack? Thanks
Geat video! Question: where did you conserve te cake already with fondant overnight? In the fridge? . what is the. Glue that you put beetwen la cakes? ...did you say " boiled icing"? Sorry, i didn't understand that word. Thanks!
The freezer does not cause condensation or sweating, it is the change in temperature that does when the cake is moved from the freezer to room temp. To prevent sweating and condensation from occurring, move your cake to the fridge from the freezer for about an hour before serving to let it adjust to room temperature! Wrapping the fondant cake in a box also helps prevent this!
I found this really helpful thank you so much, could I just ask your advice on something please...I have to travel a two tier cake (the top tier is taller than the bottom one) for a 3 hour car journey, the day before the wedding, would you stack before or after arrival? Thanks x

It definitely does take practice to build confidence with cakes that is so true.
What crème do you use for stack or ?

THANKYOU!! So very clear with the table analogy thank you!!
Thank you so much for your teaching, I have learnt a new way of cake dowel and stacking.❤
I find that a coarse emery board is great for evening up the ends of the dowel. As I often do my nails, it's a very natural process for me. 😁
You are one of the best teachers for complete beginners! Thank you!!

I'm still kinda scared tho.
Making my first tiered cake.
I enjoyed this video but I would like to know if you are using buttercream how to stack them without leaving fingerprints on the tiers?
Freeze them before u handle them
So informative👍
How tall are your cakes? They look amazing!! How do you get them to bake evenly? I’ve been trying but the outer layer burns before the center cooks even when I use a core
Cake straps it’s a fabric strap that wraps around your pan and make it cool evenly
Your oven is absolutely too hot. Use a lower temperature and bake for a longer period. Your oven racks might also need adjusting. The cakes should be in the center of the oven.
Great video Lynz !!
Thank you, it's so great to hear that you liked it. It's a little longer than some of my other videos, but there was so many things I wanted to explain, lol.
Thank you for the video I have a question please
After covering the cakes shall I put them in the fridge or just in room temperature?

Hello there
I was wondering if its recommended to dowel a traditional fruit cake. Thank you
Thanks so much ma, but can I use butter icing in place of royal icing?
Got a little bit confused about something. Did u put thick boards in-between the cakes??
Yes, between each tier!
When you put the cakes in the fridge to firm up and then put the fondant , doesn’t the fondant starts to melt? How do you manage condensation ?
The freezer does not cause condensation or sweating, it is the change in temperature that does when the cake is moved from the freezer to room temp. To prevent sweating and condensation from occurring, move your cake to the fridge from the freezer for about an hour before serving to let it adjust to room temperature! Wrapping the fondant cake in a box also helps prevent this!
you need to warm up the cake gradually in other terms!
i am going to freeze my 3 buttercream cakes before travelling to the venue....can i put the dowels in each tier before i freeze them. thank you
Thanks a lot for the Tutorial.Is so helpful!I want to ask in which room temperature you leave the cover in fondant cake?
Hi just wondering how you tie ur ribbon on the back with pink or what can't see that :(
Please let me know hehe 💓
I found this really helpful thank you so much, could I just ask your advice on something please...I have to travel a two tier cake (the top tier is taller than the bottom one) for a 3 hour car journey, the day before the wedding, would you stack before or after arrival? Thanks x
Pls if am using a luster dust and dragees, how will I do it? Because if I dust it first won’t it rough when placeing th dragees ?
My friend has asked me to make her wedding cake. 2 tiers with buttercream. Will a thin cake board between the two work?
Thank you, this is a great tutorial, very informative!
I'm so glad it was helpful!

Do you have to use cake boards for the layers or you only use cake boards when you use buttercream instead of fondant? +Cakesbylynz
