Hi Nitnelion! I don’t think you need dowels for a cake of that size. I only dowel the cake if it’s four layers and up (or tiered). Hope that helps!

I’m planning g to cover with fondant. Do you think I need to put in fowls for support? Do you usually use dowels for your standard 3-layer cakes? Thank you!

Hi Simone! So happy you’ve been loving my recipes and tips! You can absolutely use my cream cheese frosting recipe as filling between layers. It’s perfectly stable as long as you use the block style cream cheese (not the spread).

I will use the vanilla buttercream cream recipe for coating.
Thanks again

Hi Marie! You can absolutely alter my recipes for four 4-inch pans. If the recipe yields 3 6-inch layers, you can halve the recipe for four 4-inch layers. Enjoy!

I just received my mini (4 inch) cake pans that I am planing on using more often for our family of 4. If I want to do one of your recipes, do you think I can adapt the quantity (for the cake and for the frosting) and just calculate with the rule of three?
I am planing on baking my own birthday cake this Monday 😉

Hi Sarah! Since the refrigerator tends to dry out exposed cake layers, I don’t recommend refrigerating them before crumb coating. Instead, I like to fill and stack my cakes, add a crumb coat, and then refrigerate. Hope that helps!

Would you recommend the cake layers being chilled in the fridge before the crumb coat or room temperature? I made your vanilla cake today, wrapped up the layers, and I plan to crumb coat tomorrow (Thursday). I would think colder cake would help, but I wanted to ask!
