I am making my first tiered cake this weekend. I want to put the middle cake sitting right onto the bottom on. How do I do this? Will the cake be to heavy? Than I'm putting the Wilton pillar type things in between the middle and the top cake. How do I do this? Do the pillars just sit right on the middle cake and into the bottom of the top cake?

Here's a link to the wilton page with lots of articles on various constructions that may help you: http://www.wilton.com/wedding/makecake/building/index.cfm
