Your cakes look Incredible I have never been able to do fondant quite that smooth. But one thing that I did was stacking. Instead of cardboard, I used a rather large sugar cookie. Here’s the trick you need to add a little bit more sugar to the recipe I’d say about a quarter of a cup to make the cookie a little bit firmer cookies get soggy and you would have to do the stacking before serving but it’s still such an amazing trick because then it makes the whole cake edible, and instead of straw dowels, I would use Pretzel sticks

@ingridjager3613 11 ай бұрын

You should make a templet out of plastic with that bend in it, so you can wash it and use over and over again. And put a patent on it!.. That's a very good invention for people who are baking for a hobby or for bakery's. I bet this is something you can sell on the big market for sure.

@@confectionsbycrystaldoesn't the cake safe have a rod that goes thru the middle of the entire cake and braces into the top and bottom of the cake safe itself? I thought that was how the cake safe is designed to keep cakes from moving any. But I could be mistaken. ❤

@confectionsbycrystal 7 ай бұрын

@@rikkisnipes4180 Yes, it does. I only use the rod if the cake is 4 tiers or I’m traveling far (over 30 mins). I find having it in the cake safe box keeps it pretty secure already. I make sure the cake board is the same width as the inside of the cake safe so it doesn’t slide.

@xolio1993 Жыл бұрын

Uhh but if you have an 8 inch cake and an 8 inch cake board, the frosting thickness will cover the board peaking thru. It’s harder to carry the cake as you struggled with when the board is that much smaller.

@blueribenaberry Жыл бұрын

Youre right! It also appears to be plain thick cardboard as opposed to an actual cake board, which will just soak up moisture & go horribly soggy & mushy if left overnight. Not something I’d recommend but different things work for different pros I suppose

You can definitely trim the board to be slightly smaller than the cake layers, especially since the buttercream will add width also. But use good scissors because the cardboard is hard to cut lol.
