Make sure the cakes are completely cool before you level them. You can use a tool called a cake leveler, but I usually just use a serrated knife. Slice off the domed top so the top is flat. You can discard the bit you sliced off, or crumble it up and use it as garnish on top or around the cake. (Or enjoy the cake crumbles over ice cream\u2014my favorite!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/how-to-assemble-layer-cake\/?tp_image_id=145497\" data-pin-description=\"Learn the basics of how to assemble and decorate a layer cake with this detailed post as your guide.

Most of my <a href=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/category\/desserts\/cakes\/layer-cakes\/\">layer cake recipes<\/a> include the frosting recipe you\u2019ll need for the cake. American buttercream or <a href=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/swiss-meringue-buttercream\/\">Swiss meringue buttercream<\/a> are my 2 top choices for layer cakes. If using <a href=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/favorite-cream-cheese-frosting\/\">cream cheese frosting<\/a>, I find it helpful to refrigerate it for at least 1 hour before using, since it isn\u2019t as sturdy and stable as buttercream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3O6b3ny\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">cake turntable<\/a> makes it easier to frost the sides. I usually use about 3\/4 to 1 cup of frosting between each cake layer. To spread it, use an offset spatula, straight icing spatula, or a regular knife. Spread the frosting all the way to the edges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Place the second cake layer upside down. This creates a flat base for the top layer to sit on. <em>(If your cake is only 2 layers, you can place the 2nd (top) layer upside down OR right side up.)<\/em> Check to make sure the cake layer is level all the way around. Then add another 3\/4\u20131 cup of frosting on top, again spreading it to the edges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/how-to-assemble-layer-cake\/?tp_image_id=145329\" data-pin-description=\"Learn the basics of how to assemble and decorate a layer cake with this detailed post as your guide.

Make sure the cakes are completely cool before you level them. You can use a tool called a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4bCb2VA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">cake leveler<\/a> or use a serrated knife. Slice off the domed top of your cakes so the top is flat. You can discard the bit you sliced off, or crumble it up and use it as garnish on top or around the cake. (Or enjoy the cake crumbles over ice cream\u2014my favorite!)<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-2\"><strong>Stack the Layers:<\/strong> Place the bottom layer right side up on a cake turntable or cake stand. Place 3\/4 to 1 cup of frosting (anywhere between 180\u2013240g) on top. Using an offset spatula, straight spatula, or a regular knife, spread the frosting all the way to the edges of the cake. Place the second cake layer upside down evenly on top, which creates a flat base for the top layer to sit on. <em>(*See end of this step if you are making a 2-layer cake.)<\/em> Check to make sure it\u2019s level all the way around. Then add another 3\/4\u20131 cup of frosting (180\u2013240g) on top, again spreading it to the edges. Place the top layer on top. You can place it upside down again if you want your cake to have a very straight look on the sides and a perfectly flat top, or you can place it right side up to have a bit of a rounded edge. <em>*If your cake is only 2 layers, the 2nd\/top layer can be upside down or right side up, depending if you want a straight edge or rounded edge on top of your cake.<\/em><!-- \/wp:post-content --><\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-3\"><strong>Add the Crumb Coat:<\/strong> A crumb coat is an extremely thin layer of frosting applied to the top and sides of the cake, which helps lock in any loose crumbs and adds stability to the finished layer cake. For a 3-layer cake, use about 1 cup of frosting (240g) for it. For a 2-layer cake, around 3\/4 cup (180g). Spread it all over the top and sides. To smooth out the sides, run a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2Z1YMvE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">bench scraper<\/a> around the cake. Refrigerate uncovered for 20 minutes to 1 hour to set the crumb coat.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-4\"><strong>Finish Decorating the Cake:<\/strong> Once your crumb coat has set, finish the cake with a thicker layer of frosting using a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3zV4TkL\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">straight icing spatula<\/a>. You can use your bench scraper again for smooth sides, or keep the sides textured as shown in the video. If you used a cake turntable and want to transfer your cake to a serving platter or cake stand, it\u2019s helpful to have a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4ieYCW7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">cake lifter tool<\/a> and a second set of hands to lift and transfer it. If you have some extra frosting, you can fill a piping bag and add some decoration. Here I used the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3su0AJU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">Wilton 1M tip<\/a> to pipe a shell border around the top and bottom of the cake.<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-5\">When you have finished decorating your cake, it\u2019s best to refrigerate it uncovered for at least 20 minutes before slicing and serving. Depending on the cake, you can refrigerate it for up to 4 to 6 hours. To store leftover cake or if you plan to transport the cake, I recommend a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2QjKp1E\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">cake carrier<\/a> because it keeps the cake fresh without touching or smearing the frosting.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"tasty-recipe-video-embed\" id=\"tasty-recipe-video-embed-145406\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"tasty-recipe-responsive-iframe-container tasty-recipe-responsive-iframe-container-ac104c92\"><div class=\"perfmatters-lazy-youtube\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Fd6sOXBvp8s\" data-id=\"Fd6sOXBvp8s\" data-query=\"feature=oembed\" onclick=\"perfmattersLazyLoadYouTube(this);\"><div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-perfmatters-preload=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/Fd6sOXBvp8s\/hqdefault.jpg\" alt=\"YouTube video\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" data-pin-nopin=\"true\" nopin=\"nopin\"\/><\/div><\/div><noscript><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How to Assemble Layer Cake | Sally&#039;s Baking\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Fd6sOXBvp8s?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"tasty-recipes-notes\">\n\t\t\t<h3 style=\"color: #010101 !important;\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"h3-color.color h3-transform.text-transform\">Notes<\/h3>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"tasty-recipes-notes-body\" style=\"color: #010101 !important;\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"body-color.color\">\n\t\t\t\t<ol>\n<li><strong>Special Tools<\/strong> (affiliate links): Serrated Knife or <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4bCb2VA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">Cake Leveler Tool<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3O6b3ny\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">Cake Turntable<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/rstyle.me\/+2pySoGFcnTR3zL6a9o61jQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">Silicone Spatula<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2ykIPkm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">Small Offset Spatula<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3zV4TkL\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">Large Straight Spatula<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2Z1YMvE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">Bench Scraper<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4ieYCW7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">Cake Lifter<\/a> | Cake Stand (like <a href=\"https:\/\/rstyle.me\/+6WRrbQYy-V11rCIiBdUB3g\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">this one<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/rstyle.me\/+5fEpJpilkZB9KUJONn34Mw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">this one<\/a>) | Piping Bag (<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3RrCv45\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">Reusable<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3S2lgDD\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">Disposable<\/a>) | <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3su0AJU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">Wilton 1M Piping Tip<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2QjKp1E\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">Cake Carrier<\/a><!-- wp:list --><\/li>\n<li><strong>Amount of Frosting:<\/strong> In general, for an 8-inch or 9-inch round cake, you\u2019ll use 3\/4\u20131 cup (180\u2013240g) of frosting between each cake layer, plus another 3\/4\u20131 cup for the crumb coat. After that, the amount of frosting depends on how thick you want the exterior layer and if you\u2019ll want to add piping details to the cake. I usually use 4.5 cups (1080g) on a 2-layer 8- or 9-inch cake, and 5\u20136 cups (1200\u20131440g) on a 3-layer 8- or 9-inch cake. For a 3-layer 6-inch cake, use about 1\/2 cup (120g) of frosting between each layer, 1\/2 cup for the crumb coat (give or take), and 1\u20131.5 cups around the top and sides to finish (3.5\u20134 cups (840\u2013960g total).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>\r\n<br>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learn the basics of how to assemble and decorate a layer cake with this detailed post as your guide.
