Excited to turn these into cupcakes for a baby shower! Do you think I could substitute a GF flour (such as the namaste 1:1) or would that change the texture too much?

I made this cake last week as a try out for my daughter’s wedding cake. It was a hit!!! This is the cake I am planning on making for the wedding. however, I want to use 10′ 8′ 6′ cake pans to make a three tiered cake. What would be the measurements for the ingredients?

Hi! I haven’t tried to make this cake yet, but it sounds delicious. Have you ever tried to make a dairy free cake? I’m wondering how dairy free butter and sour cream would affect this cake. I’m new to the dairy free diet because of my newborn’s allergy, and I still want to enjoy the treats of the holidays.

Hi there, I wanted to make this cake for my 13th anniversary. Because I live in Poland and we have different measures for cooking I was wondering how many grams are in 3 cups of, in my case, champagne.
I would be grateful for your help.

This one was a hit! Light and refreshing, perfect for summer! I used a whole bottle of champagne and the flavor came through nicely. I also added about a half a teaspoon of raspberry emulsion to the buttercream since I don’t love the flavor of champagne I felt like it needed a little something else.

In reply to Vera Cantu. Ok - I made half the recipe of the champagne cake and used 2 6” pans. I followed everything exactly and they came out wonderful. I didn’t have Martinelli’s but had a bottle of Rose wine so I reduced that and used it in the cake. It gave a nice flavor. I frosted them with the raspberry filling recipe and the cake was delicious. Thanks again! Next week I’m making the chocolate peanut butter cake.

I know you mention 18 oz for 3 pans, what will the measurements be if I am using four 6 inch pans?

In reply to Courtney Rich. I think for sure I overbaked. The texture was fabulous. I went back and reviewed your tutorial on How to bake moist cake layers. I’m going to try it again but only the cake and half a recipe. Thank you for the feedback. I appreciate it. I’ll let you know.

Sounds like it looked beautiful! Sorry to hear about the texture. Next time, make sure you beat the butter, sugar and eggs really well – the texture should be smooth, silky, and fluffy when you’re done with that part. And then maybe reduce the bake time by a few minutes. If it’s dry, it probably got a little overbaked.

I made this cake for Mother’s Day and although it tasted good, it was too dense and dry. I must have overcooked it. ☹️ I frosted the sides with only a smooth crumb coat because I didn’t think I was going to have enough frosting for the sides. I didn’t taste the reduction in the cake or the frosting though. I piped little rosettes around the edge of the cake and spread more filling in the top as I made a double recipe.

I made this recipe as cupcakes for the Lunar New Year. So fun to male the different elements over a few days with my almost-4-year old. Cutting out the tops was a bit tedious, but SO worth it! All elements came together for a really lovely cupcake.
Next I want to stay the strawberry truffle cake for Valentines Day!

21st anniversary is coming up and I figured on doing this with a nickel/silver paint. Was that airbrushed on?

If I went with something like Edible Luster Dust – how could I get that on the sides of the cake? Flick if off of my palm?

Also, did you find the gold “pearls” at Gygi’s?

Can you tell me how you made the gold on top of the icing on the outside of the cake? I am thinking of using this for a wedding cake and I would love to know how to make this beautiful finish!!
