Sweet 16 birthday cakes are one of the most important parts of a sweet 16 birthday, besides the great company and creative fun!
How to Bake Three Tier Sweet Sixteen Cakes!
Recently I baked my very first 3 tier sweet sixteen cakes, and it turned out beautifully! It looked so professional and like a very expensive store bought 3 tier birthday cake! So since this cake turned out so beautifully, and so simple to bake, I will teach you how to bake one!
Baking Pans
You can find just about any cake pan you could imagine at your local party supply store. There are tons of different shapes, sizes, themes and even colors to help you bake the right cake for your party. I highly recommend you to check out what’s out there before you embark on the sweet 16 birthday cake baking journey!
Let’s bake the cake!
Step 1: Find yourself the perfect cake recipe, or if you are using the boxed stuff (which I personally find to be perfect), begin by following their directions. Add the right amount of ingredients at the proper times, and pour the mixture into the desired baking pan(s).
Cool Tip:
If you are baking a tier 2 or 3 cake, you can add a little baking soda to the mixture to give the cake a stronger hold when it is layered. This doesn’t affect the taste or hardness of the cake, it just helps to keep the cakes stacked on top of each other perfectly.
Step 2: Take the cake(s) out of the oven and let sit to cool! If you are planning to bake a tier 2 or 3 cake, let the individual cakes sit to cool before layering them on top of each other.
If you have seen the episode of Dr. Phil when his wife made him bake a cake, he tried to layer the second tier on top of the first, and the cake would not sit. It all came of comedy, but when you are in a rush to bake that perfect cake, remember to give it a few to cool off or you will have the same problem!
Step 3: This step is for those who are baking a tier two or higher cake! After the cakes are cool enough to stack, layer the bottom cake with icing. This helps to give the cake a great taste and look, and this also keeps the second cake on top of the first! Place the second smaller cake on top of the first, and coat it with icing as well.
Step 4: This step if for those who are baking a one layered cake. Get your icing out and start painting! A great tip to save some cash when you are decorating your cake is to buy food coloring and make your own icing colors! This saves tons of money, is fun to do and is quick and easy!
More great cake tips!
Now that your cake is baked and decorated, here are a few cool tips to enhance your decorating style!
Fashion and Glam
If the birthday girl is into the world of fashion and glamor, use these great tricks! You can purchase edible candy necklaces, watches and rings from the local dollar store. You can find sparkly icing and silver balls just about anywhere to glam up the can decorations as well.
Twinkie People
If you are baking a cake and are decorating the top with little people, you can make the bodies out of twinkies! This is a great and delicious way to make your cake very unique. Use icing to create the features of people.
“Taste the Rainbow”
If you are baking a cake with a rainbow decoration, use skittles slogan literally and buy a few packs to make the rainbow! If you want to go all out, write the slogan with icing right on the cake so everyone gets the joke.
