Where to find the ingredients

To make a wedding cake in Dreamlight Valley, you will need five ingredients: eggs, butter, vanilla, sugarcane, and wheat. Here is a detailed guide on where to find each of these ingredients:

Eggs:

You can purchase eggs from Chez Remy's shop, known as Remy's Kitchen. Eggs are essential for the wedding cake recipe, and they cost 220 Star Coins. Remy's shop may not be accessible right away, as you will need to unlock the Ratatouille Realm and rebuild the restaurant before you can access it.

Butter:

Butter is also available for purchase at Chez Remy's shop for 190 Star Coins. Like eggs, butter is a mandatory ingredient for the wedding cake, so you will need to ensure you have access to Remy's shop.

Vanilla:

Vanilla can be found in the Sunlit Plateau, which is the biome blocked by large thorns directly west of your house in the game. You may need to unlock this area through the Plaza, which costs 7,000 Dreamlight. Once you have access, you can forage for vanilla in the wild herb plants in the Sunlit Plateau.

Sugarcane:

Sugarcane can be purchased from Goofy's Stall in Dazzle Beach. It takes about seven minutes for a sugarcane plant to mature fully. Alternatively, you can find sugarcane as a crop in Dazzle Beach, which is the biome located east of the Plaza.

Wheat:

Wheat is the easiest ingredient to obtain for the wedding cake. You can purchase it from Goofy's Stall in Peaceful Meadow, which is the first stall unlocked in the game. Wheat grows quickly and is also found in Night Thorns.

How to make the buttercream

To make the buttercream for the Dreamlight Valley Wedding Cake, you will need the following ingredients:

• 1,200 grams of icing sugar
• 600 grams of unsalted butter
• 4 tablespoons of milk
• 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract

Start by beating the butter until it becomes light and fluffy. This should take around 5 minutes. Next, slowly add half of the icing sugar, continuing to beat the mixture. Now, add the remaining icing sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Keep beating the mixture until it achieves a fluffy, cloud-like texture. The frosting should be light but firm enough to hold its shape.

This buttercream frosting serves as the foundation of your wedding cake, offering a delightful creamy filling between the layers and a smooth base for the fondant. It's essential to get this step right as it will ensure your cake not only tastes amazing but also has a beautiful finish.

Layering and crumb coating

Once your cakes have cooled, it's time to layer and crumb coat. Start by slicing off the tops of each cake to make them level. This will ensure your cake tiers stack neatly on top of each other. Next, spread a generous layer of buttercream on each layer. Begin stacking your cakes, with the largest cake at the bottom and the smallest at the top.

After stacking, apply a thin layer of buttercream all over the cake. This is called the crumb coat, and it will seal in the crumbs, giving you a smooth surface to work with. Place the cake in the refrigerator for about an hour to chill and set the crumb coat. This step is crucial, as it provides a stable base for the fondant icing that will be applied in the next step.

The crumb coat ensures a neat finish and prevents the cake from crumbling when you add the final layer of fondant icing. It acts as a glue, holding the cake layers together and providing a smooth canvas for decoration.

Covering the cake with fondant

The fondant gives the Dreamlight Valley wedding cake its refined, elegant finish. To achieve the perfect fondant, it is essential to prepare it correctly before applying it to the cake. First, knead the fondant until it becomes pliable and easy to work with. This step ensures that the fondant will not tear or crack when you roll it out. Sprinkle a clean, flat surface with icing sugar to prevent sticking, and then use a rolling pin to roll out the fondant. The goal is to roll it out large enough to cover each tier of the cake, so it's important to be generous.

When the fondant is rolled out, carefully lift it with your rolling pin and gently lay it over the chilled cake. Use a cake smoother to gently smooth out any wrinkles or air bubbles, working from the top of the cake down the sides. Ensure that the fondant adheres smoothly to the buttercream, creating a seamless finish. Finally, trim off any excess fondant at the base of the cake with a sharp knife or a pizza cutter. Repeat this process for each tier of your cake, ensuring a consistent and neat finish across all layers.

The fondant provides a beautiful, elegant canvas for the final decorations and gives the cake its signature polished look. It is important to handle the fondant with care and precision to achieve a professional-looking result.

Once the fondant is smoothly applied, the cake is ready for its final decorative touches, such as flowers and silver balls, which will truly bring the Dreamlight Valley charm to life.
