Welcome to the Cake Decorators Q&A
Quantities of buttercream
Hi,
I’m making a wedding anniversary cake that requires a 14” square, 12” square, 10” square and an 8” square.
This is the first time I’ve made a cake of a large size that I need to cost.
Could anyone advise me on the weight that Paul’s recipe for buttercream (500g butter 1kg icing sugar) will make?
Also how much buttercream I am likely to need for the above cakes? They will be 3” deep with three layers. I am planning on adding some white choc ganache to the mix as I like the texture it gives.
All advice would be much lay appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Sorry silly question about how much pauls recipe makes! I’m blaming baby brain!
I think I cracked the amounts for buttercream once I engaged my math head.
