🍰 Here are a few of my favorite tips when working with cakes: -After baking, let the cakes cool IN the cake pan for about 20 minutes. -Trim off any rounded tops -Set on a cake board to keep level -Cut in half while room temp -Place parchment paper in between layers so they don’t stick together. -Put in FREEZER for at least 3-5 hours. I usually bake a lot at night, and freeze overnight. And if you are wondering, the freezer does not dry out your cake. It actually does the exact opposite. It will lock in the moisture, and help your cakes stability. Once thawed, it will be as moist and tender as it was after taking it out of the oven. 🍰 #theblondewhobakes #cakes #cake #cakedecorating #baking #dessert #cakesofinstagram #food #foodie #yum #yummy #caketips #kitchenhacks #howto #caketricks #cakedesign #life #instagood #lifeontiktok #learnontiktok #tiktokpartner #howto #lifehacks

🍰My favorite tips and tricks for stacking cakes: -Use frozen or VERY cold cakes only. I don’t recommend stacking soft/warm cakes. -Use 4 big bubble straws or dowels for stability. Place them at all 4 corners. Don’t place one thru the center. -For added protection, stability, and easy serving, you can keep a cake board (that is smaller than the original cake) on each cake tier. Stack like you normally would right on top of the dowels you just placed. -Something that I do, and recommend is frost each individual tier BEFORE stacking. I do not like frosting a cake while it’s stacked. In my opinion it’s a lot easier in multiple ways. On the other hand, I have friends that love frosting a cake after it’s been stacked, and so it all comes down to preference and testing out what works best for you and your style. -Once each individual cake tier is frosted, put in freezer for a minimum of 30 minutes. This will help hold the shape of the cake and the frosting during the stacking process. (Trust me!) -When you are ready to stack the cake, go slow and steady. Don’t rush the process!! -Start by removing the base and middle cakes from freezer, you can apply a small thin layer of frosting in the center of your large cake to act as glue. Now stack. Continue this process until you’ve stacked all of your cakes. Make sure they are all centered well. -Final step is get a large wooden dowel that is about 1” shorter than the cake and stick down the center of the entire cake. It will go thru each individual layer and touch the cake board. Once you’ve placed the dowel, fill in the hole in the center with frosting and smooth out. -Add your toppers or extra decorations. 🍰 I hope these tips have helped you understand the stacking process. If you have any questions about it, put them in the comments. I would love to help however I can. 🍰 #theblondewhobakes #theblondewhobakescakes #cakes #cakesofinstagram #cake #cakevideo #food #foodie #cakedecorating #howtostackcake #dessert #cakeoftheday #instagood #learnontiktok #tiktokpartner #lifehacks #lifeontiktok #cakesoftiktok #cakedesign

Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake We start with my 3X Chocolate Cake, and fill the cake with my Creamy Peanut Butter frosting and Semi Sweet Chocolate Ganache. In this video, I frosted the cake with my Creamy Peanut Butter frosting, and then placed it in the freezer to set the frosting for 15 minutes. Once the cake was cold again, I covered the entire cake with my Semi Sweet Chocolate Ganache. Once applied, I put it in the freezer for another 15 minutes to allow chocolate to set up. After setting up, I places some of the Peanut Butter Frosting and more Ganache to create somewhat of a marbled effect. Once I achieved the look I was going for, I put the cake back in the freezer for 10-15 minutes. I got @Reeses and placed them around the cake, spacing them 1” apart. 1 then got a Wilton 1M Piping Tip with my Peanut Butter Frosting and piped rosettes in the middle of the empty spaces. If you’d like to try this cake, I have the full recipe on my website, www.theblondewhobakes.com. #theblondewhobakes #theblondewhobakescakes #cakes #cake #baking #kitchen #cakevideo #food #foodie #cakedecorating #dessert #chocolate #chocolatecake #chocolatelover #chocolatepeanutbutter #learnontiktok #instagood #instadaily #cakes #instafood #lifehacks #lifeontiktok #tiktokpartner
