Would anyone happen to know how they did the separators for this cake ?
I'm thinking they are probably styrofoam but I'm wondering how they're supporting each cake?
I'd like to make a tiered cake but want some type of separator so it's easier to do disassemble than one tier being stacked directly on top of the other.

Thanks Tara! If I'm not transporting the cake, do I still need the center dowel?

I would think you would want to dowel it just to be safe, since the tiers will be sitting on smaller styrofoam rounds. If someone bumps that table, and there is no dowel, the whole thing is going to come crashing down into the floor. Just my 2 cents.
