    Candy Pour Cake~ A Gravity Defying Cake Video Tutorial

    In this free cake video tutorial, I'm going to show you how to make an impressive and easy candy pour cake for Valentine's Day!

    The techniques that we will demonstrate in this video can be used for endless design options. Gravity defying cakes are always going to bring the WOW factor!

     

    Amazing Candy Pour Cake! - A gravity defying cake tutorial by MyCakeSchool.com.

     

    In this cake video tutorial, I'm going to show you how easy it is to create a sturdy support system for cakes that feature something suspended that is lightweight.  In this case, we're suspending a gift bag with candy spilling from it, but there are endless options: candy wrappers, soda or beer cans/plastic bottles, cartons, etc.

    With Valentine's Day just around the corner, we thought that it would be fun to use a gift bag so that we could incorporate all sorts of candy rather than just one kind.  I hope that you enjoy the video!  We had so much fun making it ;0)

     

    Materials

    (*Our cake is a 3 layer White Almond Sour Cream cake, frosted with our Fluffy Buttercream Frosting recipe.)

    3 Ten inch Cake Cardboards or Foam Core circles for the cake base

    1 eight inch cake cardboard (I always have one board which is the same size of the cake.)

    Hot Glue/glue (We hot glue our 3 boards together to create base.)

    Something to wrap cake base as usual (We used a white plastic tablecloth)

    Wooden Dowel, ¼ inch thick (ours was also 17 inches long.)

    Pencil sharpener for sharpening the dowel (Keep an inexpensive one on hand for kitchen use only) ;0)

    Gift Bag

    Piping Gel and Small Paint Brushes

    Assorted Candy of your choice

    Fondant  for building out the candy (Optional, but a big time saver and less candy will be needed.)

    Miscellaneous: Spatula, Tape, Paper Towel or other "filler" for bag,

    This Candy Pour Cake Tutorial is one of our favorites from our member cake video section!

      Melissa, I made and decorated this cake for Valentine's Day for my grandchildren and they loved it! They kept staring at it and asking "how did you do it?" Your tutorial was easy to follow and it wasn't as hard to do as it looked! The white almond sour cream cake was delicious! I added a strawberry filling between the layers and it turned out great! Your buttercream frosting was delicious too! Thank you for an amazing and fun tutorial!
