Hi,
I am making my first 3 tier cake next week and I have bought individual boards the exact size of each tier so I can ganache them like in the inspired by Michelle cake designs video.
Should I remove these boards before I stack the cake or leave them in place?
Thank you x
Any cake MUST be on something stiff/solid in order for the supports to hold it up. If you remove the boards, the supports will just push into the cakes and not hold them.
I agree. You need to keep the boards on. I found this great tutorial on Youtube which shows step by step how to stack a 3 tier cake. I hope it helps!

If you remove the boards, you won't be able to handle the cakes to transfer to the other tiers without them cracking and falling apart before stacking (in addition to the support system piercing straight through the tiers you are trying to support).
