cake wedding decorator, but it was a lot to pump out in a three year span as a rookie! \u00a0Year one was a learning experience, year two putting practice into action, and year three was fine tuning the practice. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Baking wedding cakes were some of the most reward-able cakes that I got to be a part of. \u00a0I LOVED making them, loved getting to the venue and seeing the beautiful decorations, but I HATED the delivery!! \u00a0Nothing ever went wrong, but I was always nervous throughout the drive. \u00a0The longer drives (hour to an hour and a half) in the hot beating sun were often scary, \u00a0as was travelling on the highway and worrying about the other drivers on the road. \u00a0If you are partaking on long deliveries, make sure that your vehicle has air conditioning, and that you put blinders up on your windows to block the sun (as much as it can be). \u00a0I also always transported my cakes in a large cake delivery box, that my partner made for me. \u00a0Delivering in the box kept wayward dust and dirt off of the cake and ensured that a clean cake arrived at the destination. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In this first tutorial (of three), I show you how to bake the cakes for the wedding cake. \u00a0I highly recommend using cakes from scratch as they are sturdier than box mixes, and will hold up better under movement and the weight of decorations.

pans will require 2 cups of batter each. \u00a0The 8&#8243; pans will require 3.5 cups of batter each. \u00a0The 10&#8243; pans will require 6 cups of batter each. \u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Bake the 6&#8243; pans in the oven for 25-30 minutes.<\/li>\n<li>Bake the 8&#8243; pans in the oven for 35-40 minutes.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Bake the 10&#8243; pans in the oven for 55-60 minutes. \u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Allow each to cool completely on a wire rack before proceeding to coat in buttercream.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Attach one 6&#8243; cake layer to the 6&#8243; cake board, using a swipe of buttercream to &#8220;glue&#8221; it to the board. \u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Cover the top of the cake \u00a0with a layer of buttercream, and then place the second 6&#8243; layer on top. \u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Cover the whole cake in a crumb coat (thin layer) of buttercream.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Repeat for the 8&#8243; and 10&#8243; cakes.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>When the crumb coat layer has crusted, you can apply the second and final layers of buttercream. \u00a0Smooth the buttercream using a metal spatula. \u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>STAY TUNED FOR MORE . . .\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In the second video, I will be showing you how to stack, or tier, a wedding cake, and I will be using the three cakes that I make in this video. \u00a0The third video will include a tutorial on how to decorate a wedding cake, and I will be showing you three different types of flower decorations that you can use.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"addtoany_share_save_container\"><div class=\"a2a_kit a2a_target
