I am a bridal show junkie
so I've watch many episodes of Amazing Wedding Cakes on WEtv. So
after watching the steps over and over again, I realized that I can
make my own amazing wedding cake too. Look at the two videos below
and you can see that with careful planning, the right tools, which
you can get even at Walmart or Amazon.com, you can do it too.
Step 1.
Bake the cakes in the pans with the shapes you want. Leave to cool.
Step 2.
Add whatever filling you want on the bottom half of each layer. This could be chocolate icing, strawberry jam, custard, vanilla, coconut, whatever you filling you want. You can filling at Micheal's , Walmart or your local baking supply store.
Step 3.
After adding the top layer onto the bottom portion, you should cover it in a butter-cream icing. I will post the recipe and a video in the next post. The video below shows you how to do this step and get a smooth surface for your fondant.
Step 4:
Roll out your fondant. You can find fondant at a Michael's, at Walmart in the bride else, but the Satin Ice fondant is the best to use and taste better. That you can buy online HERE at fondantsource.com.
The video below explains how to cover the cake with fondant.
Step 5:
Put plastic dowels, cut to the height of the cake, in the bottom tier of the cake. Be sure to measure the cake from the side with the dowel and mark it before you cut.
4 pk Plastic Dowels - $2.75
This needs to be done so that the cakes do not sink into each other and stay looking straight and professionally made.
Look at the video below to see how this baker does it.
Step 6:
Add the next tier, put in more dowels and continue until you are done.
Step 7:
Decorate the cake with flowers, ribbons, however you want to to give it that platinum look!
You can find edible flowers etc. to decorate the cake HERE and find velvet roses that look like the real ones HERE at Efavormart.com!
