Hello Tracey,

You will find Lindy’s method for stacking her Wonky cakes in several of her books. The cakes are of cake cards and then dowelled. Each layer is then tiered and secured using a small amount of royal icing.

Love your books & cake designs.

In America they seem to cut out a section from the top of each Wonky cake to slide the one above into. You don’t do this so are your cakes safe to transport – how don’t they just slide off ? I’ve been asked to make one and am concerned about transporting it. Help

Thanks

Hi Sara, it’s always easier to carve the cake from frozen however it’s perfectly ok to also carve it fresh – just a few more crumbs!!!
Have fun

Hi Sasha,

Glad to hear you are enjoying Lindy’s DVD.
Lindy doesn’t tend to torte her cakes as adding extra buttercream layers can make them more unstable.
However she suggests giving it a try: -Bake, tort and then freeze and then carve the cake whilst it is still frozen.
I hope this helps.
Happy baking!

Hi,

Am going to be doing a test run of my first wonky cake in the next few days, and have started to watch the brilliant dvd….however, it looks like the cakes are buttercreamed and pasted, but not layered/filled?? Is there a reason for this?? Whoever has the larger end will have a lot of cake huh??!!

Hello Kuldip,
We run 1-day workshops on Tuesdays or Fridays. Have a look on our website under classes. Our workshops cover the decoration of cakes, cupcakes and cookies.
