now we're going to assemble a weddingcake and this is one of the most
difficult parts
I love building ever putting together awedding cake and it's also in the most
important
if you do everything at
percentright but you don't get this part right
and nothing else matters nothing isworse than a be worried about a cake is
going to fall at a wedding
after you've delivered so I'm gonna showyou the best way to put it together
we have our fun daunted board here andthe tools I need
this is a dowell I bought at a localhardware store
got a little sanding block and this isactually a miter box for doll houses and
a little miniature saw
music with also exacto products themiter box
will but up on the edge survey tablehere so that we can saw
are dowel rods to be the exact rightside some people use straws
I don't find that they're nearly strongenough especially for bigger kiss
expects the first image do is attach mybottom tier to find a board
and any use a hot glue gun for thatskimpy little strange but remember it's
just going to be touching
foam core on the bottom we want to makesure that that
basis super secure some using a nice bigdollop
love hi clue very careful with hot glueit's just like working with hot sugar
it's not something you can just wipe offso I will talk this
you and just drop it right down since mycake is cold I can man handle it
a little bit push it around so it fitsin nicely
go to come back and cover up thosescenes in a little bit
the first we want to stack arcades step
is to determine the depth about our caketier
Anthony's Ardell for that sales beenwashed in this is a
feels a little dramatic permit do it byplunging the dow
right into the cake and I we'll figureout the with
where stick that doubt based on a tearthat's going on top of it
so I know that because the stairs onlythis pic if I do it outside in that area
not only will it not support the tierabove it
gonna stick out the ugly so I'm gonna
eyeball measure so it that's how farapart the tear is
with a century on the cake it's going inand I'm gonna go in about an inch
to make sure that it's perfectlysupported and not at all visible
I so plunger all the way down
Press pretty hard with a pencil and wasgonna mark
at all that is
try not to put my I L
I can move this way for a moment well Icut my doubts other to its going on top
of it
is not super big sigh don't need a tonof dowels IQ
get away with 5 for this one sis goesinto the center and lining up my little
pencil knots with
the martz
and I'm using pressure similar to nailfiling
I'm not pressing too hard to press toohard it's really really difficult
just like fresh earth there is our firstDow
gonna market with a little X sitarmaster dow
lined up
with their next guy my a little notch
and I will do that four more times
Ste
okay so I have five towels
all the same size we have a very nice
so if my cake tier is a little bitoff-kilter of snot
terribly straight on top having allthese exact same size
well sure that whatever tear I put aboveit will be perfectly straight
so that if I'm doing a seventy your cakeby having them all be insured to be
perfectly straight
and avoid having a to be to be cake herewe have a sanding block
and that is going to have to take theedge off of
for a little mini dolls of
and I'm just spending is around if
so I got a nice this perfect edge
of
alright a
towards me here's our original Dell
should fit perfect that's exactly whatwe want perfectly flush with the top of
the cake
now to figure out where for the otherdowels mistake this talent measure
though depth I which is that and beforeit plunged them all into the cake
Italy little marks
for where I think they should go andthat way before but the men if it looks
like I've gotta kinda crazy shape
or large area that's not covered I can
change in right so we've got a nicelittle five everything is pretty quick
distant
discovered in funzies guys in
a good indicator for how even the top ofyour cake was
if these guys stick out so nice andflush
gonna take a little bit a thebuttercream
and when it chills it's all gonna sticktogether you can use royal icing as well
will be transporting it's a SanFrancisco where it's gonna be really
hilly
and make sure it's stuck
year ago so I'm just entering this it'sgood to walk away
three or four feet look at your cakemake sure it's totally centered
but here we have to just chill this andthen we will come back and decorate it
