Critical Success Points

  • Preheat oven and prepare pans thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  • Do not open oven during first 20 minutes of baking to prevent collapse.
  • Cool cakes completely before frosting.
  • Whip butter for buttercream for full 5 minutes for best texture.
  • Let ganache cool to proper consistency before dripping.
  • Handle cake layers gently—they are very soft and delicate.

Safety Warnings

  • Use caution when handling boiling water and hot pans.
  • Chocolate ganache bowl will be hot—use oven mitts.
  • Cake layers are very soft—move gently to avoid breakage.
  • If using a stand mixer, keep hands and utensils away from moving parts.
