Tips for baking a wedding cake
There is some tings you have to think about when making a wedding cake. Start by planing the design and size of the cake. The design and size of the cake will depend on the number of guests and the overall theme of the wedding.
Gather your supplies and ingredients. You’ll need cake pans of various sizes, cake boards, a cake turntable, a serrated knife, and all the ingredients for the cake and frosting.
Make the cake layers. Prepare the cake batter according to your recipe and bake the layers in the appropriate pans. Once they are baked and cooled, level them by cutting off the dome-shaped tops. Prepare the frosting according to your recipe and set it aside.
Assemble the cake. Place a cake board on the turntable, then place one of the cake layers on top. Spread a thin layer of frosting on top of the cake layer. Repeat this process with the remaining layers, making sure to keep the cake level.
Put the frosting on the cake by using a spatula or a butter knife to apply a crumb coat to the entire cake. This will help to seal in any crumbs and make the final frosting look smoother. Chill the cake for 30 minutes to an hour before applying the final coat of frosting.
Decorate the cake by using various decorating tools, such as a pastry bag fitted with a decorating tip, to add final touches to the cake. Use fresh flowers or other edible decorations to add a beautiful touch.
When you are going to transport the cake make sure the cake is well-wrapped and protected during transportation. Once you arrived at the venue, set up the cake on the designated table and make sure it is level.
It’s important to make sure that you give yourself enough time to make the cake, and to practice your decorating skills before the big day. And always make sure you have a backup plan in case something goes wrong.
Good luck- you can do it !
