Can I Use Chiffon Cake In A Stack Up Wedding Cake?
Decorating By tweetymug Updated 8 Dec 2016 , 5:44am by tweetymug
It is my first post here, hopefully I didn't ask silly question.
I love the taste and texture of chiffon cakes, and I would like to make my own wedding cake in future. But the wedding cake I tried before on my friend's wedding are too sweet, dry and heavy, and I have been told that wedding cake are supposed to be hard and heavy otherwise it will collapse when stacking up.
But while it is gonna be my wedding cake, I want to make it a chiffon but not others, so can anyone here tried to stack up chiffon cakes before and share me some experience?
Thank you very much for your time and patience.
The first thing is that it's not the cake that holds up the tiers it's the supports, dry and heavy for stacking is just an excuse for bad cake! Some have said with good supports you can stack Jello. If I were going to stack something as delicate as chiffon I would invest in SPS through Global Sugar Arts.
Yes, what pastrylady said. It's not the cake that supports the upper tiers but the support system used. I suggest you do lots of googling about supporting stacked cakes. There are a ton of YouTube videos that will help you understand how to put together a stacked cake.
Thank you very much , because I am not a professional, I didn't know about the support system for cakes, now I will check and learn more about it.
I have watch how people stack up cakes and most of them just use 4 bubble tea straws, which make me a bit confused. Since I don't think it will work on chiffon cakes^^
Thanks again for your precious information
Yes you most definitely can :) A lot of my cakes, even the tiered cakes, are chiffon cakes. They are iced with Swiss Meringue Buttercream, covered in fondant and stacked using bubble tea straws.
I would try it for a family cake, not for a paying customer. Just so that you can get a feel for it. But if you want some samples, below is a link to my website. Most of my cakes are made with chiffon cakes, as my community (Filipinos) enjoy chiffon cakes the best!
