Ask "The Cake Craftier" What Size Cake Should I Bring To Class?

Remember my dear decorators, this is only my proffessional opinion. So here we go.


One of the most common questions if not the most, Is "What size cake should I bring to class."

I suggest to all of my decorators that come through my Wilton Method classes or my classes through E W Cake Designs to make a product as professional as possible. Remember you are paying for these classes so not working to your poential is merely usless. Once you have done what you can potentialy do then I, "The Cake Craftier"will help you to perfect that, then move you to the next level. Basicly if you get from point A to point B then I will get you from point B to point C.

In my classes, at the minimum, I require an 8" x 4" high cake. This gives you a professional start from the beginning. Now let me explain in detail.

You need to bake two (2) cakes in an 8' x 2" size cake pan

Each pan should be at least half way full of cake batter, you may go a little bit over but never under the half way mark.

(When you put the two cakes together it should come out to an 8" x 4" high cake. Sometimes a little less, sometimes a little more, but about the right size you need.)

Follow my, Chef Eric's cooling & leveling instructions given in class then ice your cake as instructed.
Dont be nervous, just do your best, but you must try. Chef will assist you when you return to class.
