Steps in assembling simple layer cakes
1. Prepare and assemble all tools and equipment
• Cake
• Spatula
• Filling
• Bread knife
• Toothpick
• Turn table
• Pastry brush
CAKE
Is often served as a
celebratory dish on
ceremonial
occasions, such as
birthdays,
weddings, and etc.
SPATULA
Is a hand held tool

that is used for
lifting, flipping, or
spreading.
FILLING
Is a thick mixture which is used
between the layers of cake. It
may be some of the frosting to
which nuts, marshmallows or
fruits are added. Whipped cream
and custard mixtures are
sometimes used for fillings.
BREAD KNIFE
Is primarily used to slice
bread. A good bread
knife should saw
through a tough crust
without compressing the
tender crumb within.
TOOTHPICK
Is used to make sure that
the edges of the cakes
are correctly leveled. It
can also be used to stick
into the middle of the
cake and if it comes out
clean, the cake is done.
TURN TABLE
Is used by placing an
undecorated cake onto
its surface, then turning
it as you smooth sheets
of icing, apply
buttercream, pipe
frosting or stick
decorations on your
bake.
PASTRY BRUSH
Cake layers are sometimes
brushed with sugar syrup
before icing to keep them
moist and to prevent cake
condensation. A pastry
brush ensures that the
syrup is evenly distributed.
2. Prepare all ingredients and note the proper temperature. Cool cake layers
completely before assembling and icing. Icings and fillings should be spread out
and at the correct temperature.
3. Trim cake layers, if necessary. Remove any ragged edges. Slightly rounded tops
are easily covered by icing, but excessively large bumps may have to be cut off.
4. Brush all crumbs from cakes. Loose crumbs make icing difficult.
5. Place the bottom layer upside down (to give a flat surface for the filling) on a
cardboard cake circle of the same diameter. Place the cake at the center of a
cake turn table. If a cake circle of turntable is not available, place the cake on a
serving plate; slip sheets of wax paper or parchment under the edges of the cake
to keep the plate clean.
6. Spread filling on the bottom layer, out of the edges. If the filling is different from
the outside frosting, be careful not to spread the filling over the edges. One to
avoid spilling the filling over the edge is to pipe a row of the icing used for the
cakes sides around the edges of the cake layer to form a barrier to hold the filling
inside. Use the proper amount of filling. If applied too heavily, filling will ooze out
when top layer is put in place.
7. Place the top layer on the bottom layer, right side up.
8. Ice the cake. If a thin or light icing is used, pour or spread the icing onto the
center of the cake. Then spread it to the edges and down the sides with a spatula.
If a heavy icing is used, it may be necessary to spread the sides first, then place a
good quantity of icing at the center of the top and push it to the edges with the
spatula.
FILLING CAKE LAYERS
For a classic round or rectangular cake, you may want to put two
levelled cakes together, joined with your favorite filling. This adds
height and drama to put your design. It’s easy to do!
Step 1
Fill a decorating bag with medium consistency icing and use tip 12 or
use the coupler without adding a tip. Start with the bottom layer,
leveled side up. Create a dam or circle of icing just inside the edge of
the cake. This will prevent any filling from seeping out when the next
layer is added.
Step 2
Fill the center with icing, fruit filling or pudding.
Step 3
Place the next layer on top, making sure it is level. The weight of the
layer will cause the circle of icing to expand. Place the top layer, leveled
side down, so the top of the cake is perfectly smooth and level.
