    I was requested to make your cannoli cake recipe for a wedding cake for a small wedding. I was thinking about doubling the recipe and doing 4 8″ layers. I haven’t made this recipe before and was wondering if four layers would hold up well. The cake will need to be transported – 4 4-hour car ride, so it needs to be sturdy and I know that some cakes stack high better than others. Also, which buttercream do you think would be the most stable for this?

      This is a sturdy cake recipe for sure!
      Yes to double for 4-8″ layers
      Any buttercream recipe you like the most will be stable if you add shortening to it
      In my bakery (& all of my professional career actually) shortening was always included in the recipe. Typically it was always a 50-50 ratio of butter:shortening
      But now that I do not travel with cakes or need them to display for hours on end, I always leave out the shortening altogether
      That said ~whatever amount you take out in butter, replace with shortening
      A hi Ratio cake shortening like SWEETEX brand will be the best
      CLICK HERE FOR ALL THE BUTTERCREAM RECIPES
      *American Buttercream is my choice

      Keep it refrigerated overnight to get it super cold throughout, then only take it out once you are ready to get in the car & leave, AC on will be helpful
