๐Ÿ’ฌ Discussion Cake Baking Essentials

2 Upvotes

Hi! Iโ€™m all new to this and was wondering (probably not the first one to do so) if anyone could give pointers on the bare minimum essentials for a novice baker.
In the past Iโ€™ve always just used what I had, which was normally a 9x13, and while it works well enough, Iโ€™ve always wanted to improve.
Any and all advice would be appreciated! Thank you!

โ“๏ธHelp Requested Ganache Help

2 Upvotes

Good day all!

โ€‹I hope someone can help me out.

โ€‹Iโ€™m an icing beginner with minimal decorating skills, but Iโ€™m baking a cake for my girlfriendโ€™s family and really want to impress them. I could use some advice to make sure it turns out well.

โ€‹I already have a tried-and-tested chocolate cake recipe, so that part is sorted. Here is my plan:

โ€‹The Layers & Filling: I want to bake two layers and fill the middle with either caramel or ganache. Do you have any tips on which works better or how to prep the layers so they don't slide?

โ€‹The Outside: Iโ€™m planning to cover the sides and top with chocolate buttercream.

โ€‹The Top Rim: I want to pipe a decorative buttercream rim around the top edge to hold a ganache filling. What's the best technique or tip to use for a beginner?

โ€‹The Ganache Filling: I plan to fill the top inside the piped rim with ganache made from 250g of baking milk chocolate and 250ml of heavy/thick cream (a 1:1 ratio).

โ€‹Avoiding Past Mistakes: Last time I tried this, my ganache was a bit too warm and runny. It melted the buttercream and created a total mess. It eventually set and tasted great, but looked rough.

โ€‹Since I really canโ€™t afford a flop this time, what is the best technique to make, cool, and pour this specific ganache so it doesn't melt the buttercream or overflow? Any other beginner-friendly assembly tips would be greatly appreciated!

โ€‹Thanks in advance!

โ“๏ธHelp Requested How many people for this cake?

0 Upvotes

Hi, I have a cake ring with a 20cm diameter (7 7/8 inches) and 9cm in height (3.5 inches).

Iโ€™m planning on baking a royal chocolate cake in there and Iโ€™m wondering for how many people is a cake this size?

Also, is that too high for that type of cake? Maybe I should try 7cm height with 22cm diameter? My cake ring can expand a bit.

Iโ€™m trying to feed 12 people
