Teacher Yener that was a very usfull tutorial thank you verry much!! It was like wathching the internal of Maria & Theo’s 6 Tier Wedding Cake witch i have watch and dreemed many times. I think it would be a verry usfull tutorial too if we could see a form sample or how to cut a real cake like that .on a venue like Maria & Theo’s Cake and also how you take orders for weedding cakes tutorial ,Yener’s way allways! Thank you verry much!!
Thanks. How to take orders is a good question but it is only the beginning of the journey. We are developing brand new application program and it will help members on every part of the progress. 3 years of developing coming to the end and will be reveal soon.
thanks for your video. I learned a lot from you Mr Yener. May I ask is there a particular reason for selecting a PVC pipe with this diameter? Is that supporting strength will be lost if I just cover the steel rod with bubble straw or aluminium foil?
Yes , if you don’t you will face other problems. use it 5-6 cm diameter PVC pipe will carry the weight and keep the cake straight. If the cake not so big you can do without.
Hello chef ,
I m from France so first i want to apologize for my bad english i have some questions and i need some advice from you if it s possible … i love your work and i wish one day i can be as the same level as you…
I have a question about cake construction technique… when i m making tiers cake i use plastic dowels from wilton , i cut them and place many dowels to support the second cake … i saw this technique many times but the problem is at the end when all the tiers are done the cake begin to lean on the side it s not straight anymore … it look like the pisa tower in Roma Italy
Do you have some tips ? Thank you so so much
Hi Hanane, yes I understand, dowels are not the total solution for stacking cakes. Especially not for high or soft cakes. Just a few advice, I recommend instead of pencil size dowels use thicker 20-25 mm alternates like wood or PVC pipes . Please make sure they are food safe. If the cakes more than 100 mm ( 4″ ) safe way is building internal support by long threaded rod and nuts . It is a way that you have to be very sure what you doing also safe for people. You don’t want somebody hurt by trying to chew a metal nut. Also, some metal can not be touching the food. We have few videos about it. I suggest you take one-month membership and search the videos in Cake constructions section. You can unsubscribe after one month. Sorry, it is too much just to write about it. Thanks
How do you instruct the reception staff to cut and serve the cake? Do you leave them a wrench to undo the top screw, or do you stay for the entire reception and disassemble it yourself? Maybe provide the staff with written instructions? Sorry, but this just isn’t evident to me and I have a huge cake being delivered in 3 weeks that this would work perfectly on. Thanks in advance for your kind response.
Hello, I have a form call CONDITION OF ORDER signed by every customer during order taking. In this form explains how to cut a cake in general. Other than that if we have heavy constructed cake I will have short meeting with the person in charge or with the chef at delivery time. They don’t have to dismantle the cake. Big pieces removed from cake at a time and placed on clean fruit chopping board and they know what to do after. If necessary they have a wrench or a plier available always, only I have to remind them in the meeting. Thanks I hope this clear some clouds. I recommend everybody who deal with peoples such important event should design a similar form and use as an informal contract. Covering accidental delays, allergic issues, non food parts of the cake e.t.c
Is there no cake board under the bottom tier????
I have always used dowels for stacking my cakes, so I am presuming this method does away with that and just relys on the central pipes to hold the structure? Am I right? Thanks for the video.
Thank you for the instruction, love the construction, so much easier to follow after watching the class. Is the PVC pipe is cut after the fondant layer.
Yes . It is easier to finish the cake first and take measurement with skewer.
Thank you!
So how would one disassemble to cut the cake?
It is an obviously serrious task to disassemble such a cake. To make that easier we always meet with the chef on delivery and make briefing. Also issue an internal support chart that for visual understanding. Thanks for the question
Thanks
looking forward to see this class. I would like to use this construction next month if possible any way this will be shown before that.
about 2 weeks . Thanks
