How to Make a Three Tier Cake!

hey y'all it's Robert and today at the sweet impact we're making a three- tier black and gold cake now I've had a lot of experience with making cakes like this so I can teach you all step by step how to make a well structured and designed cake but I'm also going to experiment with the design and have a little fun with it so to start this cake off we're going to level in toward all the cake [Music] layers now that the cakes are all leveled and torted we're going to add a little bit of syrup to each cake layer before we start to stack the [Music] [Applause] cake I'm stacking all the cake layers with vanilla buttercream and once I have these all stacked I'm then going to use a serrated knife to carve down the size of the cake [Music] now I'm going to do a crumb coat and this is just a very thin layer of frosting and this is going to trap all those crumbs so that they don't end up in the final layer of [Music] frosting now it's time to add the final coat and I'm using ganache to do this because I'm going to be covering this cake with fondant later so for the ganache I'm using a 3 to1 ratio of chocolate to cream and I'm going to mix this together until it's combined [Music] [Applause] [Music] I'm adding the ganache to the cakes using a Piping Bag and then using a cake comb to smooth it all out [Music] so each cake has its final coat and I can now start adding faet to the cake and I'm going to do this using the paneling method which means I'm just going to add a layer fonet to the top first and then I can wrap the size of the cake after a [Music] [Music] [Applause] w [Music] [Music] he [Music] [Applause] [Music] so now I'm going to play around the design of this cake so I'm going to use a knife to cut out portions of that black fonded and then I'm going to use some marbled fonded to fill in those gaps [Music] [Music] he on the edges of the marble find it I'm going to add gold so for the bottom tier I use some gold leaf and for the top two tiers I use gold Luster Dust [Music] [Music] then I'm taking a large brush and dipping that into the Luster Dust and then I'm gently tapping onto the sze of the cake to create this spotted design pattern and I'm really just freestyling here [Music] the last thing I want to add to the cake are rice paper seals and to make these I'm dipping some rice paper into water and I'm going to wait until they soften and once I take them out I can manipulate these however I want and once they dry they'll hold their shape and I can add them to the cake so here it is this is a three-tier black and gold cake [Music] complete I had a lot of fun making this cake I got to Freestyle with the design and also play around with a lot of different techniques and I really like how it came out so if you like this cake make sure that you like the video and subscribe to the channel if you haven't and if there's any other cakes that you want to see me make make sure that you leave those in the comments below and until then I'll see y'all in the next video
