Ok so heres my question....

I am making what I would LIKE to be a 4 tier cake. I am totally over analyzing it I think but its the biggest cake I have made. What dowels would you recommend and what size cakes? I was thinking 12, 10, 8 and 6.

I have been making cakes for a long while and trying to get some of my work uploaded so you can see icon_biggrin.gif So far the only pic I can get up is the very first cake I that turned out well enough to be proud of icon_razz.gif

My other question is I have a walk in freezer and fridge to store them in so would it be safe to bake, wrap, freeze, carve, crum coat and then fridge?? Or at that point leave it out?

Thanks for the input icon_biggrin.gif

I would use plastic dowels (Wiltons) in the bottom tier, bubble tea straws in the rest.

No need to put in fridge unless you have a perishable filling. Just my opinion though! icon_wink.gif
