re: How to make a 3 tier wedding cake?!

The last one I did was a coconut pound cake. But I have also done stacked tiered cakes with just chocolate or yellow cake as well.

COCONUT POUND CAKE
2/3 c. coconut
1 c. butter, softened
½ c. butter flavoured shortening
3 c. sugar
5 eggs, at room temp
3 c. flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1 c. milk
2 tsp. coconut flavoring
1 tsp. vanilla
Heat oven to 325. Beat butter and shortening together until fluffy,
about 1 min. Beat in sugar till light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time, until blended.
Combine dry ingredients and add alternately with milk. Beat in coconut flavouring and
vanilla. Pour into pan. Bake 1 hr. 30 min. to 1 hr. 45 min. until wooden skewer inserted
in centre comes out clean. Cool pan on wire rack 20 min. then invert pan onto rack,
remove pan.
I make each tier two layers. Usually 2 10" and 2 8" and 2 6" cakes. Dowel the bottom and middle tier and a board on each cake and a large dowel in the middle as well
I love Edna’s tutorials for making flowers! She has helped me out a lot too!
