Stacking a cake is honestly so easy once
0:02
you know the steps. Each cake needs to
0:04
be on its own cake board and after
0:06
layering your cake and filling it will
0:08
need a crumb coat and then a final coat
0:10
of frosting. The upper tiers need to be
0:11
on invisible cake boards which just
0:13
means that they need to be the same size
0:15
as the cake so you can't see the board
0:17
once you stack the cake. To frost this
0:19
cake, put it on a non-slip mat on a
0:21
bigger cake board. Before stacking,
0:23
you'll need supports. I use boba straws
0:25
or you can use wooden dowels and they
0:27
need to be exactly the same height. So
0:29
after pushing one in, pinch it where it
0:31
sticks up above the top of the cake,
0:33
pull it out, cut it there and use it to
0:35
measure the other three straws, cutting
0:37
them all to be exactly the same height
0:39
and then push them back in. I'm just
0:41
using the cardboard I cut off from the
0:43
cake board so that they'll be sitting
0:45
underneath the cake that's on top.
0:47
Spread a bit of buttercream on top which
0:49
will act like glue and then take the
0:51
smaller cake off the larger cake board
0:53
and non-slip mat and put it on its
0:55
invisible cake board onto the bottom
0:57
cake. Follow British Girl Bakes for more
