Fill Cake Layers


The most common way to fill cake layers is with icing. This method is used when stacking two or more cake layers of the same size. The icing between the cake layers helps secure the layers in place.

An alternative to using frosting or icing is using flavored filling between cake layers.

How To Fill your Cake Layers

  • Using a metal spatula, place a good sized glop of icing on the top of your cake layer.

  • Spread the icing over the top of the cake, being careful not to lift your spatula as you go.

  • Use a simple back and forth motion to spread the icing over the cake until the top is covered.

  • Get the icing as even as you can. You want the icing layer to be about 1/4" thick.
If the icing goes over the side of the cake a little, it's fine. It will be smoothed out later when you frost the cake.

Now, it's time to stack the cake.
