I made a cake and put it on a plate. A pretty blue glass plate that I ordered the other day. It came in this weekend so I decided it must be put to use right away… or else forever be united with my other cake plates that have yet to see the light of day.
So I made a cake. Several of them. I thought it would be a good time to finally venture into the scary world of cake stacking.
Yikes.
But first… mad respect to all the cake decorators out there. I’ve only made small cakes before. This was a task. And I didn’t even do anything fancy.
I made this recipe. TWICE.
The first time I baked three 8 inch cakes. And the second time, I baked three 6 inch cakes and 2 five inch cakes. Use two inch high cake pans and spread the batter evenly among the pans when you bake. You’ll have just enough batter for all 8 layers.
I wanted to try the recipe to see if how well it would work for stacking. It’s not very dense, so it wouldn’t be great for carving. But it bakes up nice and even so there is no need to level off the tops. Yay, one less step.
I baked the cakes at night and wrapped in plastic wrap so I could devote the next day to decorating.
Unwrap a layer and place it on a cardboard cake circle cut to size. Frost the top. Layer on the next one and repeat.
Then frost the sides. This is the called the crumb coat. You just want a thin layer of frosting. It’s okay if crumbs get in.
I placed the layers on top of the cake pan I baked them in as a stand and to make frosting the sides down to the bottom a little easier.
Once frosted as evenly as possible, you can place the cake in the freezer for a few minutes. The frosting will harden and when you remove the cakes from the freezer, you can use a knife dipped in a little warm water to help smooth out any uneven places.
Repeat with the 6-inch cakes. Kinda crumby.
And the 5-inch cakes.
Did I ever tell you that I’m a really, really messy baker? Like real.
When all the cakes are crumb-coated, you can apply a pretty layer of frosting without worrying about tearing the cake or getting cake crumbs on the outside.
Or you can cover them in fondant. Eeek. That’s what I did.
(I used the frosting recipe from this post and doubled it. Triple it if you want to frost it all in buttercream instead of covering in fondant.)
Unfortunately there is no photographic evidence of the covering.
Just imagine I rolled out fondant on a powdered sugar-dusted surface and then carefully placed the fondant over each tier. And then smoothed out the sides.
And imagine that it looked perfect. Because it did not.
Once each tier is covered in fondant you can get ready to stack away.
To stack the cake, you’ll need wooden dowels or even straws to support each tier, so the cake doesn’t smoosh in on itself.
Push the dowel in and mark the height of the cake on the dowel. Remove and use it as a guide to cut the other dowels. I used four for the bottom tier and the middle tier. Make sure the dowels are all placed within the diameter of the tier above it. So the dowels won’t show when you stack them all up.
Then just stack the cakes and decorate.
I cut white fondant hearts to keep a clean, simple look.
Okay, not really. I did it to help hide the slightly uneven surface.
And also because I ran out of time to do anything else.
I think it looks pretty cute. Even if I don’t really know what I’m doing.
What I do know is I need another lesson in covering fondant cakes. And then one in making sugar flowers and of course piping and then carving. And then I’ll need some therapy.
I like it with a single pink heart, too.
But what I like most is the cake stand.
That’s why I bought two of them.
One for me and another for one of you.

My brother just called to tell me I have a brand new niece, and that makes me incredibly happy. Other days sewing and baking do it for me, but not on such a grand scale.
Love the cake!
My family makes me happy: Hubby, 4 daughters, 3 sons-in-law, 3 granddaughters, 1 grandson….love ’em all. The ones nearby (within a couple of miles, those 3 states away and those on the other side of the world in Turkey). Also baking and knitting make me very happy.

Planning my wedding makes me happy because I can’t wait to be his wife! :D
Rainy weather makes me happy.
Have you ever tried marshmellow fondant? It’s the only kind I’ve ever used, but apparently it’s a lot easier to work with for covering. It doesn’t stiffen up as nicely as normal fondant, but since it’s a bit stretchy, it’s a little more forgiving for covering.
My kids make me extremely happy. Nothing beats hugs and kisses from them.
I hate to be be cliched and say that my son makes me happy but it is true. I will also have to say that naps make me happy as well. Thanks for the giveaway.
Listening to my girls play (nicely) together… I love hearing what they come up with… and how their imaginations work!

Awww!!!! Love the cake – this has just given me inspiration for a wedding cake a freind has asked me to bake :)
happiness is baking, cooking and doing things with my two daughters (age 5 and 2)… we bake cookies, cupcakes and cakes, make 7 layer jello, banana bread, decorate easter eggs, gingerbread houses and cook breakfast for their dad… i hope that they will treasure these times as much as i do. :)
When I make something for someone, no matter how old or how young they are, seeing the emotions crossing their face when they are looking at my creation for the first time. Expectancy, excitement, surprise, joy, and that little catch of breath. That makes me happy, every time. :)
Listening to my grandchildren laugh makes me happy……..
Today? Today, cake for breakfast makes me happy.
baking because it always makes people smile.
people can never be angry after eating a good dessert.

Mondays are my Sundays…….relax,relax,relax.
My children and grandchildren make me happy. I have 2 sons and one daughter.I have 3 grandsons,a nine year old,a two year old ,and a new baby who is only 17 days old. Happiness is seeing the new baby smile at you for the first time.When he take hold of your fingers and holds real tight. Happiness is having our nine year old call you on the phone because he is so excited he needs to tell something right away. Or the two year old say “I love you Grandmom” for the first time without any prompting from someone. So to me happiness is my family.
Want to know what would make me uber happy? I’m turning 35 this September and would love, love, love, just absolutely love this cakestand to place my cake on.
A nice cup of tea… made by my husband! It somehow always seems to taste feral if I make it myself..
my poodle does some of the funniest things sometimes. she makes me VERY happy. super cute cake. wish I could make something as pretty as that. but just having a pretty cake stand like that one, would make any bakery creation more beautiful.
one thing that has been making me happy lately is looking at cakes & cupcakes for some odd reason. :)
Thanks for sharing the how to on tiered cakes… I havent attempted one yet. Maybe I’ll try to do one this weekend…
Snuggling on the couch under a blanket watching a movie in winter makes me happy. :)
Without a doubt the thing that makes me happiest is the phone call I receive everyday from my husband telling me that he is on his way home from work. The words “I am out of here in 10” still make my heart go pitter pat even after 15 years. THAT makes me happy. :)
And your cake is lovely – it is the perfect wedding cake for a simple, outdoor type wedding. I love it. :)
There is nothing more gratifying for this Frenchie than having an idea, a recipe being and able to actually materialise it. Here is when the happiness stage comes in.
Once the recipe is no longer a mere list of ingredients but a fully fledged cake that makes my entire house smell like the bakery or a dozen cupcakes to feed my hungry boyfriend and workmates; Once it’s all done I get to see people taste it, enjoy it and most of the time, I get to see a smile afterwards. It makes me feel so proud that I can be the trigger of a smile and it’s very fulfilling to see that my idea is physically real!
Oh my GOSH that cake is SO CUTE. Oh so pretty!
What makes me happy? Well, a lot of things do. Like kittens. Tiny, little kittens with their tiny paws and bellies. Aww. I’m happy now.
my friends make me happy :)

My beautiful daughters is the thing that make me the most happy in the world.
Shopping works for me!
Baking of course! But probably when I do it on April 10th evey year when I make a special birthday cake for my little sister… I try something different every time and love to see the look of surprise and “oh my gosh!” look on her face – it makes me feel incredibly happy :)

Right after baking some foods and helping the parents?
&I love your simple cake, it looks so sweet and cute.
Wow! This is amazing! A smile on my daughter’s face, makes me very happy! Thank you for this chance!
How cute is that??? I LOVE it! Unfortunately, i never covered a cae myself with Fondant (have always been too scared), but the result is so stunning. It looks like the perfect cae for Valentine’s day. The pink heart is the extra “wow-factor”. But – as blue is my favourite colour and especially THIS blue, I would so much love to wink the second cake stand. I promise, I would even try the Fondabt icing :-)
Thanks for your inspirational recipes (and stories behind them).
Seeing your beautiful cake makes me happy, and makes me want to go make it. But I don’t have any pretty cake plate to put it on :(
A nice hot cup of coffee and a snowy day with a great book!
Chocolate makes me happy. Chocolate chips to be exact. I like to use them for baking.. but I enjoy eating them as is even more! :)
What makes me happy now: driving home from my night shift while the sun is rising with the windows down and the music up. It makes everything bad go away.
Wow – it looks fab! All things cake-related make me happy…..making them, eating them, giving them….yum! Em x
Chocolate! Chocolate never fails to make me happy :)
You’re so modest, Bakerella! This cake looks (and probably tastes) amazing. I love the simplicity of the decoration. It’s very elegant.
You’re blog really has sparked an intense urge to bake inside me and my boyfriend! So far we’ve made two different kinds of cake balls (red velvet & funfetti!), cookie/brownies covered in chocolate ganache, simple chocolate chip cookies, and the s’mores cupcakes. We check your site every day for new updates!
Baking is so much fun and seeing my friends reactions to my delicious treats makes me so happy! Obviously, when they ask where I got the recipe, I tell them, “Bakerella!” and they’ve almost always heard of it. “She does the cake pops, right?!”
My boyfriend has been trying to make the pictures of our food look as impressive as yours. He’s getting there…
The uprising of baking/crafting in America and the fact that women today do it for enjoyment and not just as an expectation of the female agenda makes it all the more satisfying. It makes me AND my boyfriend happy. And it’s made our relationship stronger. What could be better?
Lots of things make me happy, but right at this very moment, cupcakes for breakfast make me happy. Because that’s what i’m eating right now, cupcakes, for breakfast… chocolate! yum!
The wonderful group of ladies who have been best friends for over ten years, and who came over last weekend with their children. We stayed up till too late, watched girly movies, had some delicious sushi and meanwhile, the girls made me the coolest dreadlocks ever :)
I might just thank them with a cake. Like, one on a beautiful blue cake stand.
What a LOVELY cake! I love the simplicity and the unexpected touch of the pink hear! And the cake plate is beautiful!!

Sundays make me smile, never fails. It is laundry day, and I have a very special 2 year old that is in charge of all the towels. It is family dinner night, were we eat, laugh and sit at the table for hours. It is also our “cheat” night…whatever sweet stuff we want…tonight it was rice krispie treats…a simple classic :)
Your cake is so cute I love the blue cake stand!

Watching the sunset by the beach =)
hi, baking makes me happy – especially when i give it away & then, a) the looks on peoples’ faces when they unexpectedly receive a gift they can it, and b) the looks on their faces when they take the first bite – that REALLY makes me happy :)
I have never visited your site without feeling more cheerful, happy, and energized to CREATE something, anything, experiment, and see if anything I do turns out even slightly as cute as yours. I just don’t tell my nieces and nephews what they are SUPPOSED to look like – and they always turn out to be a hit – thanks to the inspiration from YOU. :) So even if I don’t win (but I really do want to win :)… I feel like I win each time I see the darling things you come up with.
The beach, iced coffee, puppies, sharing meals, and volunteering… to name a few!
Blue is my favorite and it makes me happy too. I also like the one pink heart…sets it off. Pick me ….;-) Love ya Bakerella and am waiting patiently for the BOOK! Already preordered!

Baking and sharing with family and friends makes me hApPy !
