Wedding Cake Tutorial | Elegant Wedding Cake Ideas | Chyna B Sweets

[Music] hey guys welcome back today i am caking a four-tier wedding cake so um i actually had a request from a bride who designed her own wedding cake but she's not a caker so she wanted me to do it i was happy to do it and it took a lot of the stress off of me because she had a great design so i didn't have to really think much i just had to execute so this is me crumb coating the 12 inch bottom tier it was a four-tier cake you'll see the other tiers later now here's a little trick that i like to do after my crumb coat i will use a dowel to just poke a hole right in the center of my cake and i let it rest overnight this will let all the air or if there is any air it will escape through the hole and it won't bulge out the sides [Music] so in my bride's design she had a spacer on top of the 12 inch tier so i took an eight inch by two inch styrofoam dummy two eight inch cake circles super glued those on either side rubbed it with some crisco and put fondant around the um the sides of the styrofoam dummy to cover up the ugly yellowness yes i reused my dummies um it's just styrofoam nobody was going to see or eat it [Music] now i make cakes i do not drill things so i had to have my boo come in here and make a hole in my wooden cake board big enough to fit the dowel so you'll see us attempt this several times because the hole wasn't quite big enough but he definitely got the job done and he has been dying to get on camera in my videos so we got we knocked two birds out with one stone with this cake so there you go i'm interested how many times are you interrupted by your family when you're making cakes like i know that's that can't just be my family comment below is it a thing for you as much as it is for me [Music] anymore of my sisters just let me know i get everything done the bride also wanted blush buttercream smeared flowers on her bottom tier so i took several sizes of palette knives and i just did a little texture flower with buttercream along the bottom tier you can pick palette knives up there in the painter section at your local craft store or you can order them on amazon i will be sure to leave a link in the description box below along with my other supplies and tools now you see me with my ungloved hand here because the bride also wanted non-perel's on her cake and the easiest way for me to stick them on was to use my finger because they don't stick to my non-stick gloves so i put these in the center of my flowers and i also put them uh around the cake too because that was part of her design [Music] everything is better with gold leaf and every bride wants gold leaf on their cake not every bride but i do a lot of wedding cakes and most of them want gold leaf because it's so it's so elegant like i like it so this is the top tier this is a six inch top tier i put gold leaf along that as well and she wanted a white chocolate drip so i am dripping chocolate ganache along the top of her cake i'm interested okay because i am deathly afraid of driving with a stacked cake so i transport all of my tear cakes [Music] unstacked and i stack them on site and you will see that in just a moment but do you guys travel with stacked cakes and if you do how tall is the stack like where what's the limit would you travel with the six tiered cake four tier three tiered i'm too i just i can't take those chances i can't take those chances so comment below are you brave enough to travel with a stacked tiered cake [Music] we are magically at the venue and i am stacking my cake on site while the guests are enjoying um it was a room flip so they were somewhere i don't know but they steadily started to pile in while i was stacking the cake and i didn't realize that so at the end you won't see it on camera but i turned around and like everybody was looking at me and it was so weird but they loved the cake i actually got feedback on site so that was great because usually i'm not there when everybody's there so i don't really get to see the reactions of the guests when they see the cake so it was awesome the bride's design was awesome if you liked it as much as i did go ahead and hit the like button if you didn't like it keep it to yourself we don't need that type of negativity don't forget to subscribe i drop a new cake video every wednesday and i will see you guys next week bye [Applause] [Music] [Applause] you
