Have I ever made a layer cake? Have I ever aspired to frost a beautiful layer sheet cake? No. Did I watch this entire video? YES. And now I want to do this lol
I love this video. I’m not a baker, but we’re vegan and my 6-soon-to-be-7-year old has asked me for a lemon cake for his party. So here I am. This video is a huge life-saver. Thank you for making this huge task so simple!
The best video to show how to frost the sheet cake with a simple tool that every decorator has already had.

Thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing .. iam still learning how to frost a square cake..this is really helpful.💕
Thank you! Good luck with your decorating :)
@@BeckyKastelz 💕
Thank you!
Thank you for all you informative videos and tutorials..
Could you put the recipe for half sheet cake as well, highly appropriate it🙏🙏🙏
Hi Adam, I’m so glad you enjoyed the video! For this one I just used a box cake mix- 1 box for each quarter sheet.
I wonder if a big Cake Strip wrapped around the pan would keep the top of the cake more flat. So you wouldn't have to cut the top off
Excellent tutorial but how did you make the frosting? Thank you for sharing.
oh bloody hell... respect to this lady... but people spend ages getting the icing just right and then cake tatst like old boxed cake.. but hey... it looks great 😂
this looks amazing! how many boxes of cake mix do you use for each pan and what are the dimensions!!!
Can you tell me how much cake batter you put in the pan to make it rise above the edges without spilling over? Thanks!
What size and where can I purchase a pan like the one you’re using?
Yummmy
Hi Becky, Do you have a recipe? For buttercream and sponge? Thanks!
How do you make your icing
After you make the cakes, do you put in Fridge before you turn out to frost?
How much batter did you use for these 12x8 pans??? If you used box how many??? Thank you
You could also use plain dental floss and bring it across the whole short length of the cake and keep the cake intact.
I’m new to cake making and found your video helpful. Could you please share the frosting recipe please.
Absolutely! If you open the description for this video there’s a link for my video on buttercream. I hope this helps!
The cake & frosting looks amazing! I'm struggling to find a vanilla cake recipe that taste delicious! HELP!
I love this video will you share your frosting recipe
Thank you! The recipe video link for French Buttercream is in the video description. Thank you for watching!
What size of the cake?
Could you give the recipe for your frosting please it looks so so good
Hello and thank you for watching! I have the link to the video (including recipe) for French Buttercream in the video description. Enjoy!
Hello! If you add a whip cream filling with fresh strawberry’s does the fruit go down first or the whip? Also does it still need to be a 1/4 inch thick in the middle or thicker? Thanks
Hi! When using fresh fruits, I put a thinner layer of my buttercream or whipped cream, then the fruit, then a thin layer of the buttercream/whipped cream on top of the fruit for a total thickness of 1/4". The layer on top of the fruit will give the next layer of cake something to hold on to. Hope this helps! :)
Very well explained and nice video. What size is the spatula?
I use an Ateco offset spatula with a 7 3/4" blade. Thanks for watching!
Your cake should always be cold and chilled before frosting it. It makes it easier to frost the cake.
Such a helpful video. How much buttercream do I need for both filling and frosting? Can you let me know the qty?
I used about 5 pounds of buttercream. This was also enough for piped borders with a little left over.
Nice job but why do much frosting?
How did you keep crumbs from getting in the rating when you were doing the filling for between the cakes? Because when frosting the cake usually you crumb coat it so I'm just wondering.
Hi! I chill the cakes overnight so they can firm up, and that really cuts down on the crumbs.
@@BeckyKastelz I see, thank you!
Loved this video! I'm a beginner. Where did you find the 12x8 pan?
This is a standard commercial quarter sheet pan. I like to use these from Amazon:
www.amazon.com/Nordic-Ware-Natural-Aluminum-Commercial/dp/B078NJRJ7T/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=1EIDV4F6A55AW&keywords=quarter%2Bsheet%2Bpan&qid=1702306099&sprefix=quarter%2Bs%2Caps%2C148&sr=8-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&th=1
Thanks for watching!
Becky you make it look so easy. What recipe butter cream is it please can you share the recipe? I will give your technique a try. tfs Kathy Sydney Australia ❤
Hi Kathy! I have a video for making the buttercream here: th-cam.com/video/uB8Bu-FItwo/w-d-xo.html
The ingredient amounts are listed in the video's info. Thanks for watching!
Hi! What size of cake board are you using? Is that 10x14?
Hi, Lana! I purchased a standard cake board made for quarter sheet cakes which is usually about 9.75"x13.75". Thanks for watching!
Is the crumb layer the same mixture as the final layer of butter cream and why 2 layers ?
Hi Kathy! The first layer of buttercream is a thin layer that, when chilled, will seal in the crumbs. This allows a second layer of buttercream to be applied that is clean and crumb-free. Thanks for watching!
I saw the French buttercream video but it didn’t give the amount of ingredients.
Can you share the recipe?
Enjoy!
Recipe:
570g Granulated Sugar
90g Glucose or Corn Syrup
180g Water
150g Whole Eggs
180g Egg Yolks
780g Unsalted Butter, room temperature
30g Vanilla Extract
How much frosting do you make to cover the whole cake?
Hi Amy! I used about 5 pounds of buttercream. This was also enough for piped borders with a little left over.
how many batches of frosting did you use?
Hi Sidney,
I used about 4.5 pounds of buttercream. I had a 5 lb batch which was enough for filling, crumb coat, final coat, and piped borders with a little left over.
Can you please tell me the size of the pan you used for this cake? Many thanks!
Thanks for watching! It’s about 12”x8”.
Becky how many cups of batter do you put in a 9x13x2 inch pan.. and do you bake at 350 or 325?
Hi Alfreda! Typically a 9x13 pan will take 1 box of cake mix, which is also the amount I used for the quarter sheet pan. I used 2 boxes to bake 2 layers. For the baking temperature, it’s always best to follow the instructions for the recipe or mix. Hope this helps!
One box cake mix only makes 4 to 5 cups batter.. is it best to use one box per layer or put two boxes in a 9x13x2 then split it it for two layers?
@@fefejohns4587 that would be up to you. If you are comfortable splitting the cake, I say go for it! 😊
@@BeckyKastelz thank you🥰🌺🌺
For a double layer sheet cake... what is the size? How many servings do you get?
Hi Sheila, I used standard quarter-sheet pans which are about 8"x12". You should get about 24 2"x2" servings. Thanks for watching!
So, for 2 layers, the cake recipe we use would need to be doubled. Same for frosting. Yes?
Hi Lisa! The amounts of cake and frosting I used in the video are enough for a 2-layer cake.
What is your pan’s depth?
Hi Lawana! I used a standard quarter-sheet pan which has a depth of just under 1 inch.
What can we do with all the trimming I hate to waste it
Hi Joe! Many people use the scraps to make cake pops.
My white cakes always comes out yellow on the inside. 😞 How do you get your cake white on the inside? Do you mind sharing the ingredients to your cake?
Hi there! The key to a pure white cake is to only use egg whites in the batter, never whole eggs. I love this recipe: sugarspunrun.com/the-best-white-cake-recipe/#recipe
@@BeckyKastelz thank you for sharing🤗
Hi .can I know the cake board size ..
Hi! I purchased a standard cake board made for quarter sheet cakes which is usually about 9.75"x13.75". Thanks for watching!
It is like doing drywall hahah
Where can we find your recipes?
Hi! The recipes can be found in the info section of the video. Thanks for watching!
@@BeckyKastelz Do you have a Swiss buttercream recipe?
What kind of knife is this
Hi Dea! This is a standard serrated (bread) knife. I use a Henckles 8".
The pans are 12x8?? Looks so much bigger 😮
I think these are 12 x 18
how many servings do you get out of this cake? amazing tutorial by the way!!♥️
Thanks, Molly! I usually get about 20-24 servings from a quarter sheet cake.
@@BeckyKastelz great thanks!! is this a good method for a half sheet cake as well?
@@mollymccarthy9130 absolutely. I also use this method for full sheet cakes and square cakes of any size.
Would you share your cake and frosting recipe?
Hi Denise!
You can find the French Buttercream recipe I used in the link above. For the cake I just used a simple box mix- 1 box for each quarter sheet of cake.
Thanks for watching!
Where can I buy the pans?
Hi Laura!
These are restaurant standard quarter sheet pans, roughly 12”x8”. You can find them at restaurant supply stores. Many craft stores carry them now in the cake decorating section also.
Hi
i would have used a taller pan in my opinion eliminate losing precious cake. things are so expensive now.
Clear spoken instructions, very easy to follow. But - PLEASE don’t ever use that music again! I had to keep muting the video.
There was nothing wrong with the music, in my opinion. Her channel - she can do what she wants.
