How To Make A Wedding Cake At Home | CHELSWEETS

- I'm getting married in a few months, and I want to make my own wedding cake! After speaking with some of you, I learned that a lot of you plan to make your own wedding cake too!
Before I made this decision, I considered a lot of factors! If you want to know if you should make your own wedding cake, I highly recommend reading this: chelsweets.com...
I figured it would also be helpful to share an in-depth tutorial, showing step by step how to make a four-tiered wedding cake! This cake is made with 10 inch, 8 inch, 6 inch, and 4 inch tiers.
If you want to know how big of a cake you should make based on the number of guests, I highly recommend checking out my cake portion guide: chelsweets.com...
This wedding cake is decorated with fresh flowers, and is simply frosted with buttercream (no fondant!). I walk through leveling the cake layers, properly supporting each tier, stacking the tiers on a center dowel, and of course how to make an impromptu wedding cake box (thank goodness for Home Depot).
This cake is frosted with my American buttercream, and the recipe can be found here: chelsweets.com...
If you want to know what cake boards and dowels I used to make this cake, I'll include the amazon links below:
- 12 inch thick cake base: amzn.to/2tgIn3V
- cake boards with holes precut in center: amzn.to/2MZOm6m
- center dowel: amzn.to/2GlOEE8
- bubble tea straws: amzn.to/2BtPP0o
- flower nails: amzn.to/2E44EIt
- serrated knife: amzn.to/2E6wGDv

PERFECT TUTORIAL: No distracting music, you speak at a good speed- not too slow, not too fast, you show just what you need to- thank you for the excellent video!
عوزه افهم كلمه
I like the simplicity, and the fact that you stuck to a smooth buttercream frosted finish and didn't resort to nasty fondant !
Great work ;)
Patrick Banks I Dislike Nasty Fondant! Everyone says You never tried the right fondant! There’s No right fondant in my opinion! To me fondant ruins a cake!
I agree that fondant is disgusting
I like marshmallow fondant...
Buttercream taste nasty, well I’m not much of a frosting kind of person. Yes I actually take off all the frosting, either give it to my sister or throw it out. Too much for me😣
@@emmastgermain5395 I have to say I agree, but I once ate the cake that had such a thin -rolled fondant that you could barely taste it. I'd still prefer if there wasn't any, but it definitely didn't ruin the cake
I don’t even have a boyfriend but here I am learning how to make a cake for my future wedding
lol!! same here.
Same
Same😁😂
Me!!
h m Same am I
I'm not getting married... no one I know is getting married... I'd just would make a wedding cake because I want cake
Well same so welcome to the club
Haha no reason to mess around. Make a wedding cake and just eat cake!
@@catherinegrace2366 yup im skinny no matter how much i eat either so im sound me

Annoying Duckles haha
seriously..this is the most helpful tutorial I've EVER seen for cake decorating. Love how you included links to the recipe and your materials. Also appreciate your perfect narration. Extremely helpful. Thank you so much, I subscribed within the first 5 seconds!❤
Did anybody actually search for this video?
Haha! I sure did 😂

I also did 😆

While the cake turned out nicely I have some tips for anyone attempting to make a cake of this size. First, you will need to use a foamcore base of at least a half inch thickness. A cardboard base isn’t sufficient support for a large tiered cake. Also, four bubble tea straws aren’t enough to hold up all that cake. Cakes are very heavy and to hold up an 8” cake you will need to use 7 straws and in general just use one straw less than the inches of the tier. In the end you will need to sharpen a dowel and drive it through all Cake tiers and the foamcore board. This will ensure that your cake does not slide around in transit. You can also use melted chocolate to adhere the first cake layer to each board before icing which is what I do.
👍
Hi Sharita, I did use a 1/2 inch thick base for this cake!
And the number of straws did hold the weight of this cake for 36 hours, with 11 of those hours at room temp.
I do agree though that sharpening the central wooden dowel would make it. way easier to slide the tiers on, and I hope one day when i have better tools I can do that
123456789096514 I’ve been making cakes for 10+ years and offering advice was in no way rude unlike yourself. Mind yours!
Instead of giving the scraps to the bride, for a congratulation gift you could make cake pops
Cheeky Kiki that’s what I was thinking! My sister does cake pops on the side for parties and events and I can’t imagine throwing away good cake scraps!
Like any bride eats *extra* cake right before her wedding, lol
@Eliza Lee Heck, the scraps are for any being in the vicinity where the cake is being prepared for the wedding. Cake pops-blecchhh! The ‘house’ needs a taste, as well as the decorator........
Ahemm, not that I have any experience. LOL
If I could save a youtube comment, I would! I'm a beginner with cake decorating, and I feel bad wasting so much since nobody wants to eat a bunch of extra cake on its own.
I do this!
My aunt asked me to make her wedding cake since she knows I bake, but it’s my first time making something for an event like that!
This video was very helpful thank you😋
Same here! I have a friend getting married and she wants me to make their cakes any advice you have since your comment was 2months ago?!
@@dd470_how’d it go guys? Hope yall did an awesome as fuck job bakin yo cakes
To help keep layers flat, Wilton makes a silver fabric type thing that you wet and wrap around cakes. That way the don't cook at the edges faster than the center. I am not a professional but have used them for two layer cakes with success. Great tutorial, very concise.
You're planning to make your own wedding cake!? Wow!!!!! And such a cool idea decorating the cake with flowers from the bouquets!
Barbara Fischer if using fresh flowers you MUST make certain the flowers are food safe and no pesticides were used on the flowers. Make sure the florist knows the flowers are going on a cake.
@@jennifergreene5479 good to note. Thank you for the heads up!
or just put plastic wrap on the stems before you stick it on the cake
Will you please share and subscribe it
You have a serene voice! And these cake videos are amazing thanks so much for giving the world this gift of yours! I hope to get this cake business of mine up and running now. Just started donating "samples" to my church, next is my kids school!

Hi sister pls support my channel also sister pls support
I've always wondered, when you cut the cake to serve, do you discard the slices that had the straws in them? How do you make sure no one gets a slice with a straw in it? And that you don't slice right down on a straw? Dang, is my anxiety having too much fun rn
Hi sister pls support my channel also sister pls support
th-cam.com/channels/e8N9l6FceVoasZbKDSlk2Q.html
The straws are pulled out before slicing (as each cake that has been removed from the stack.)
The cake, the bride and groom, their outfits, everything looks so simple yet tasteful and classy. Goals
I think cake pops are the least wasteful solution for any cake waste that is shaved off. Gorgeous cake! It's so simple yet lovely.
Thank you for getting right into it. Some vidoes have long introduction I got bored before they even start.

I can't imagine not tying my hair up when I'm at work. Lovely weeding cake!
why can't she tie up her hair
I love your comment!!! 😂
Beautiful cake!! I had a friend make her own wedding cake but she’s not an experienced baker and it turned out a mess.
This was an awesome and detailed video. Thank you so much for sharing your time and talent. The final product was beautiful. 😍🥰
Soo pretty! Tiering is dedinitely scary for me. Cannot wait to see your wedding cake!!

Beautiful!!! You did an amazing job on the wedding cake!!! The layers and measuring everything out for the height. The box from Home depot was an excellent idea. Cake boxes can be very expensive, especially for larger cakes.

I’ve heard bakers who wait until they get to the venue before putting it together. It’s a lovely cake, by the way, and it looks delicious!
Wow! So much work, but the cake turned out beautifully. I don’t know why I clicked on this, but I did. I don’t have a wedding or have no desire to make a wedding cake, but I loved watching this - a behind-the-scene-look! Thanks for the sharing and I love the end results with the placement of the flowers 💐 🌹🌷💐🌺
You looked like you had so much fun making this 😍
haha thanks! I really did :) It's a lot more fun when you're making the cake for someone close to you❤️
Im getting married in a year you just inspired me to make my own cake. Making it more personal ans cutting the cost of a already made cake lol. Thank you so much
Ooh thank you so much, I am planning to bake my wedding cake in June . This has really helped.
Thanks😃😃
Esther Mwangi oh god, don’t bake your own wedding cake!! I don’t think I’ve even see a pro do their own!! It’ll be just more stress on yourself !!
Deanna Waters Yes, it is stressful especially with we’d planning but I am trying to cut costs where I can.
I will be assisted by my friends and one baker.
Esther Mwangi alright, best of luck! Hope it goes well!
Thank you so much for this video, it definitely helped me along the process of making a friends wedding cake this past weekend.. and it was a success!! Yayy!!!
This was incredibly informative! I've recently started baking and decorating cakes pretty seriously so this was a great video for beginners! Thanks!
So true. I have learnt a lot
Nice tutorial. Was taught not to bang pans on worktop as you loose the fluffiness you want in a sponge cake, only do this with fruit cake. This you acheive by sieving dry ingredients to get air in and whisking butter and sugar till light and fluffy.
Wedding cakes are just most beautiful (big) cakes in the world! 😍 Yours look superspecial! 💖
@chelsweets i recommend not banging the air out , your batter probably has baking powder/soda but air is also another leavener. i saw how dense your cakes came out and i wish you'd invest in a cake leveler, i havent gotten past much else, but im banging my head against my culinary arts degree.
Simple and elegant
I can’t wait to see yours 😍😍
Looking at this wonderful cake, I'm excited for my future wedding even though there's 8-9 Years for that😊

I hate to tell you (I own a retail bakery that does 200 cakes a weekend) but your flower nail does not induce enough heat to properly heat the center of the cake. You need a heating core which is made of solid aluminum or steel that inducts heat and finishes off the center of your cake. Anything 14" or below you don't need a heating core up to a 4" finished cake. Just a heads up
Definitely make your own cake don't let anyone rob you
How far before the wedding should you do this?
Mary Kylee Smith I work in a bakery so I think I can help a bit. I would recommend starting 3-4 days before to give yourself plenty of time. Day one- bake and crumb coat. Day 2 stack and finish the buttercream layering (making sure it’s all even) day 3 decorate! Give yourself a lot of time to decorate just in case the first time doesn’t turn out the way you want it, you’ll have plenty of time to smooth over any bumps or little holes in the b/c. Day 4, transport! I only say 4 days in case you don’t want to finish it up on the day of the wedding.
@@addsi3964 Thank you!
@Addsi3 Great advise, but if you are a newbie be sure the cake or it’s components doesn’t require refrigeration. Allow yourself a bit extra time as well. The bride probably wants the cake done, & there, setup, on time. And the ‘cutter’/‘server’ should know HOW to cut the cake to provide the appropriate size slice, as well as quantity of slices to serve. And hopefully send the top layer with the beloved couple to munch on, on their honeymoon. Wilton.com is one perfect place to start, as well as spend a lot of time-learning.

I like before the video starts 😂 No views yet. Am I the first one to watch. I click the video quickly after notification appears. Haha
Edited: Is simple syrup is just a water and sugar??
Jayzelle Mae Manuel jaja maybe we did it at the same time jaja
Yes simple syrup is just water & sugar mixed together. (Equal parts)
Adriana Beristain and i like to put vanilla for flavor
Im only 14 and my Dads friends want me to make their wedding cake in a few months!! I'm an amatuer and I've only ever done Birthday cakes for my friends, do here i am, binge watching wedding cake tutorials on youtube!🤣
I was 12 when I began teaching myself. And by 19 I produced my first wedding cake. By 14 I would recommend something simple. But it can be done. I’m hoping this is for a small, intimate wedding. Perhaps you have time to rehearse this, as well. Much luck!
This looks so beautiful. It's very simple but very elegant!
With any leftover cake 🍰 u can make cake pops 🍰🍭
Bizcocho para comunion
Look I kn
Nelsa Rodriguez I’ve heard of having bread and wine for communion but not sponge cake
Howcome you didn't use cake strips to make them level?
You won't have to level your layers or trim the crust if you use pan wraps.
You can buy them or make them from damp paper towels, wrapped in aluminum foil.
Did they pay when you baked the cakes for them? I mean you did put a lot of time and effort into the cakes.
You should use cake strips to preventing doming and caramelization.
What are cake strips?
It is a piece of fabric that you buy and soak in water and then put around your cake pan. They lower the temperature of the pan and allow the cake to bake more evenly. Therefore there's less caramelization and no doming of the cake
Can u plz share the recipe of the cakes batter.
Btw it’s fun to make cake pops with the extra tops of the cakes 🎂!
Awesome job Chelsea!! Thanks for the note on the scale! Just what I needed for the wedding cake i will be doing in May! 😊👍🏼
How far did you drive to deliver this cake how thick was the center dowel?
It was about 3 miles away, and the central dowel was 1/2 an inch thick :)
Wow amazing
You know if you put wet paper napkins in foil then wrap it around the baking pan it'll bake leveled cakes ❤ its what i do to make leveled cakes

The frosting is very smooth it's like fondue , good job girl 👌🏻😍
Fondue? Did you mean fondant?
Great video. I made my wedding cake 27 yrs ago. It took 7 batches of frosting. We had cake for weeks.🤣
Great tutorial! You speak elegantly and you get to the point. I love it. Beautiful cake too. you've inspired me to make a wedding cake now :)
Lovely smile and beautiful decoration as well. Thank you.
You did an amazing job! Keep going, you‘re so talented 😍👍🏽
Love this...great for a random date night as a surprise.
Funfetti wedding cake?...
Incredible 🤗
I like your nail polish 😊
your husband is lucky to have you
Good job!!! The cake looks beautiful😍🤗
I know hard work behind it loving your work
If U want even cake layers that are crisp free, use cake strips or wet paper towels wrapped in aluminium foil. That way U don't waste cake and it's always even and never burnt
What? On wet paper towels?
@@reflexionesdelabiblia6711 no no. So put the batter in a cake tin, then wrap wet paper towels wrapped in aluminum foil around the tin :)
@@90sbabe47 oh ok.
Thanks for this video i learned a lot ma'am. New subscriber from Philippines 🇵🇭. Stay safe ❤️
I would bake this cake just for eating without any wedding included 😂😂😂
Thank you so much for the tips...love your tutorial.🥰 Subscriber from Philippines 🥰
You made it look easy. Getting a really smooth surface of icing is nearly impossible for me. How do you keep from getting icing all over your cake board? I guess I need practice.
Big Mom is in need of this video.
Who were the ppl who gave thumbs down for this video?? Insane lol... loved the video makes me jealous of ur skills and makes me wanna improve mine own! Keep up the great work!
Here so I can make my sisters wedding cake and when she gets married ✌️
Do you usually work with loose hair? Or was it just for the demo in the video? 🇧🇷
Great job! Briefly,where can I get the 1\2inch by 14 wooden dowels? I'm looking but nothing yet
Any shop that sells wood i.e. a D.I.Y shop.
@@sandraadams4697 thanks so much for this advise
They also sell them on Amazon, Ebay, ACMoore, Hobby Lobby (a bit more expensive there), Michael’s, etc.
@@JaimeDornanLady thanks for sharing this info. Chelsea didn't reply but how good to hv other do so
I really enjoyed watching your cake tutorial, but I have a question. Why do you need to put bubble tea straws into the base of the cake that are level with the cake? How does this support the next level going on top? I understand why the cake dowel goes into the centre, but I am confused about the straws. I am planning to make my daughter's wedding cake this Sept. 2024 so I am hoping to get all your tips and learn from you.
Why do you have to put the straw in?
extra support. cakes are heavy.
@@jechiquim but support in what way? She didn't show then connecting.
That is a beautiful cake❤️and the effort shown👏
11:15 it was Loki’s wedding?
TYSM FOR THIS VIDEO I CAN FINALLY MAKE A WEDDING CAKE FOR MY WEDDING EVEN THO IM JUST 13
Such a beautiful tutorial :) Maybe after watching this I'll find the courage to give it a try myself. 😂
I like making and decorating cakes but I'll be making my first tier cake for my & my first year dating anniversary just to get some practice
If you use wet fabric strips or wet paper towel covered in aluminum foil on the outside of your pans, you won't need to trim/level with a knife and it won't caramelize on the edges.
Hi. Thank uou for sharing the details. I need to make a cake for a wedding anniversary for 80people. Appreciate if u cn advise on other frosting ideas.
I always thought it was cool to use just a spatula to ice a cake I use a speed icer when doing my ice base and its in my opinion easier but I'm not very good with just a spatula
What kind of buttercream? Italian meringue? Simple buttercream? If making a simple
Buttercream, was shortening and butter used?
This is just american buttercream! I used all butter, but if you live in a warm place or humid environment, you can definitely swap half the butter for shortening
If you weigh them and they have the same weight wouldn't that mean the smaller layers would be thicker? Since the pans are different sizes
I love your video Thank you for sharing, New Friend Here!
The chelsweet FB group is lit!!!!!!
She makes it look so easy 😭
You buttercream is so white, I recall you mentioning the butter from 365, but also it seems very smooth. I am thinking it is either warmer or you used more whipping cream. Any advice?
You make it look so easy
That wedding cake looks amazing 😆😆😆
You did a great job! Very useful tips, which I will be needing next month!! Eeeee
Hiii
my dear how are you
You made this look so easy!
nice tutorial with detailed instructions! But, what was the purpose of the four straws in each cake layer again? support?
I saw this on tik tok and now I can’t stop watching these videos 😂🤦♀️
You are an awesome teacher!!
Hi the cake so beautiful thank you blessings 🙏🌹
Why would the pans have the same weight in batter when each pan is a little smaller than the next?
