Hello! Your Cake Looks Awesome!
Can I Use Whipped Icing to Make the Strips on the Cake? Or Should I Stick with The American Buttercream Recipe? Thanks!

Would you suggest using simple syrup to moisten the cake layers or no?

No problem V!

A frosted cake can stay good in the fridge for up to a week! As long as the frosting is completely covering the cake layers, it should lock in all the moisture, and the cake should stay nice and moist 🙂 The texture shouldn’t change at all.

I let cakes sit in the fridge overnight, or for a few days all the time! I usually leave my cakes just open in the fridge without a covering! It should be fine as long as you don’t have anything fragrant in your fridge (like fish or onions).

My simple syrup recipe is just 1 cup water and 1 cup granulated sugar, brought to a boil to dissolve the sugar.

thank you so much for this info, I was just wondering…do the cakes still taste good after being refrigerated, or are they frozen, crumbly, etc. Also, what is your simple syrup recipe?

In reply to Alison. Hi Alison, Thanks!! As long as your cream cheese frosting has decent structure it should work fine! My cream cheese buttercream recipe would work great. Hope that helps, happy baking!

Hi Melissa,

This recipe is pretty much just 1.5 batches of my American buttercream 😛 You need a lot of frosting to make a striped cake like this. Hope that helps, happy baking!!

Hi,
I’m looking forward to trying this cake recipe soon, along with the vanilla buttercream. Is the recipe correct for 11 cups of powdered sugar? I see that this buttercream is a little different than your Best American Buttercream. Do you prefer one over the over?
Your cakes and videos are amazing! Thank you for your time.
Melissa

In reply to Katie Wehrheim. Thank you Katie! and yes!!! That's the hardest part, I feel like it's always so hard to put the bench scraper down. I'll have to go take a look at your cake, I'm sure it's beautiful!! <3

This is another winner from Chelsweets! I am making it for my volunteer ambulance company’s “Winter Picnic” (we do a lot of work outside, of course … people need EMT’s in the house and outside, too) which we will hold outdoors. A PERFECT winter cake!

I LOVE your tutorials! I always google you first when I need help or tips with cakes! So please keep them coming 🙂
I just made my first stripes cake two days ago! It turned out SO good and I can’t wait to make another one (I posted a couple pictures on your FB page!) I fully agree with needing to know when to stop passing the bench scraper around the stripes…I actually said that out loud to myself, “Ok, it’s time to stop” and then I put the bench scraper in the sink.
Keep up your AMAZING work!
