I'm going to be making a 4 tiered fondant cake using the plastic seperator plates. If I dowel each layer well before buttercream then fondant, will it be strong enough for the 4 tiers since I can't put a rod thru all layers with the plastic plates? I noticed everyone seems to be using the boards!
Thank you

A rod thru all layers is not necessary. It sometimes can be a false 'hope'. Why not use Wilton's 'hidden pillars'? That will make a nice support system........not quite as good as SPS but good.

Excellent idea, thank you so much.

If you have time, order SPS. Easy, cheap, sturdy.

The instructions on how to use sps was wonderful. Thank you so much
