I would like to know how some of my fellow CC'ers do this. When you are doing a large layer of tier cake, such as a 16 inch square cake.....what special tip do you use to transfer the second layer on top of the first?? I have not had much luck. Today I had a wedding cake and the top layer of the 16 inch broke in half! I was able to use it, but there as to be some secret or tool or something that I am not aware of!!!!!!!!!
If anyone can ease my pain, please do so, I will be forever grateful!!!

very large flat cookie sheet works for me -- I dust it w/ powdered sugar to make the layer slide on/off easily

I freeze the second layer then stack it.

Most of the time I just freeze them first, stack them, then let it thaw a little before I crumb coat.
