  1. I'm still a student in this baking things oh, for the icing of pan, do I need to ice the entire pan, before I place my cake ontop for decoration. If so how do I make the cake to stick to the ice pan.
    And for a three tier cake, do I need to ice each cake seperately, if so, what can I use to make them stick together… Oya make una help a sister abeg

  2. If I understand u well, u mean the board where the cake will be placed, and on top of the turntable. The board should first be splattered with butter icing, it'll act as the sticking agent. There r different approaches to the tiered cakes, u may choose to ice each separately and use butter icing to stack, or if ur expertise permits, stack them together using. Butter cream in between, then roll out a large fondant to cover all.

  5. Can you please give details on how to make one? I tried it with butter and confectioners sugar and added a but of lime for flavor. I beat it till it was fluffy but I realized the icing was not thick enough and it kinda melted.
    Anything I did wrong?

  6. please how can one achieve a less sugar cake? 400g sugar on 500g of flour and butter taste too sugary for me… can the quantity of sugar be reduced to 200g instead of 400g? please help a sister…

  8. @Gee Emmy, by my own recipe, 600g of sugar goes for 1kg of flour meaning 300 or evn 250 is ok for 500g flour; I was amazed abt ds measurmnt too bt u knw our tastes differ; so if u feel lyk using 200 it doesn't affect d cake in anyway jst d sweetness. MrsAjaryee

  11. If I am not mistaken, a double layered cake is usually baked in 2" high pans and two of the cakes are placed on each other and icied as a single cake

  12. Well I think for 1kg of flour, half a kilo(500g) of sugar should be ok… Plus, it all depend on how u want it though!!!
