Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog!! Today we are going to talk about how to layer a cake!
Before we get started, lets talk about what usually goes into a cake:
"a flour confection made from flour, sugar, and other ingredients and is usually baked. In their oldest forms, cakes were modifications of bread, but cakes now cover a wide range of preparations that can be simple or elaborate and which share features with desserts such as pastries, meringues, custards, and pies.
The most common ingredients include flour, sugar, eggs, fat (such as butter, oil, or margarine), a liquid, and a leavening agent, such as baking soda or baking powder."
Now that we know what a cake is usually made out if, we need to understand what the difference is between the layers of a cake and a tiered cake.
To understand this, here is a helpful infographic:
For more helpful info here is another explanation:
To build a layered cake, you will need to do the following steps:
Bake the cakes
You will need to bake your cakes in baking pans. Once you have done that put them on a rack to cool down.
2. Cut the layers and make the frosting
Once the cakes have cooled down, cut the tops of them evenly. Then, put some frosting on and spread that around.
3. Assemble the cake
Put the next cake layer on and repeat the same step for all the remaining layers.
4. Frost the top and the sides
Make sure to put frosting all around the cake.
5. Decorate!
Once you have put enough frosting on, you can decorate the cake!!
Once you have decorated you cake, place it in a cool place to chill for a little bit and then serve!!
That's it for this weeks blog post!! Stay tuned for next week, we will be talking about how to navigate the holiday season and some crowd pleasing desserts!!
