Hope that helps if it is what you are searching for.

Or do you mean a wedge cake?

sorry guys the picture did not load. hope its loading now...

Here's a post from Sharon's blog that might help (scroll down for the how-to): http://sugaredblog.blogspot.com/2009/05/graduation-wedge-cake.html

thank you soooo much for that link!!!! its great!

thanks very much for the link. but i'm still abit confused! how does each cake stick to the styrofoam wedges that were shown in sharons blog .do you need dowels if the bottom cake is real but the rest are dummy cakes?

It seems like she used melted chocolate to adhere the cake to the wedges and also to secure the wedges to the cake...I hope that makes sense, LOL

Also, wooden dowels going through...

if thats the case can you use royal icing instead of chocolate as i can imagine it to be stronger

also does anyone have any idea what i can when slanted styrofoam wedges are not available? can i get a normal round dummy and carve it or wound it not come out rught?

thanks for that link

There is a Caddy Wampus (sp?) on Caljava.com that Brownen Weber sells. IT's under the cake study tab.

you can carve the styro with a knife. You will need a tall dowel for the middle to stack each cake on with support in each also.
