A[IMG]http://cakecentral.com/content/type/61/id/3190279/width/200/height/400[/IMG] This is the first time that I will make a tiered cake so I really need your HELP ! Please I need to know everything about this cake. I think it's 10" and 8" right?? How many layers should every tier be?? And how much ganache and fondant..
Without something next to a cake to give it scale, it's very hard to say "it's x and y" by looking at it alone.
I personally would have said 6" and 8".
As for how many layers should each tier be.... that's surely personal preference? I do 3 layers in my cakes, with 2 of filling. But I know many people do 4 layers with 3 filling. Others have been known just to bake a deep cake and cut it in half, thus giving 1 layer of filling.
There are lots of charts and tables online to tell you how much fondant you should use (I just eyeball it!) I don't really use ganache so can't help you there.
