A guide you use, not a file you forget

Layer Cake Assembly runs as a web app in our member area. Read a chapter, use the tools, tick off the action, and pick up exactly where you left off.

6 guided chapters

Short, step-by-step chapters with a progress bar that shows what you have read and what comes next.

Filling & Frosting Calculator

One row per cake: pan diameter, number of layers and the height of each leveled layer. The calculator shows how much filling, crumb coat and final coat buttercream you need, plus the simple syrup, for all your cakes together.

Assembly Planner

Spread the cake over several days. Day 0 is the day you serve, -1 the day before, -2 two days before. Enter the minutes each step needs and mark it done (yes or no) as you go.

Action Roadmap

One concrete action per chapter, collected in a checklist so you always know the next thing to do in your kitchen.

Downloadable PDF

Every chapter in one clean, printable document. Save it as a PDF to read offline or keep a copy in the kitchen.
