I have tried several layered cakes and they always end up looking tilted, what am I doing wrong? To much frosting or how long do you freeze them for after baked? Any tips you can share.
You have to make sure that your layers are all perfectly leveled, and that the layers of icing you put on are as well. I always freeze them until the buttercream in the layers is solid and doesn’t move when I try to ice the sides of the cake.
