I am doing a cake for my aunt's shower next week. I am going to do a 3D Duck, and I am going to let it sit on top a stacked cake. The stacked cake will only have two stacks. My question, what is the best way to make sure this is supported. Do yall think I need dowel rods? Or would it be fine.
Thanks
I think it would depend on the size of the layers .. how thick are they? what size are they? I'd think you'd need some support under each layer tho
I have only done one stacked cake before and that was when I didn't know better and I just stacked three layers on top of each other... The bottom layer will just be one layer and the second layer will be one layer. So you think if I just put support under the the layers (and by support do you mean carboard?) and under the duck that it would be okay?
If they're single layers, I'd put a cardboard between the layers to make the serving them easier... I'd still dowel between them... but that's just me.. I'm always terrified of the layers having too much weight on them and sinking into one another...
I did a stacked cake with the rubber ducky pan and I used the white plastic dowel rods and that worked great. They are easy to cut and you do not have to use as many.

I did one of these. It's in my photos. It was one of my first cakes. I placed the ducky on it's own board. I used one dowel under it...in the center. The I doweled through the duck and into the cake below (right through the board). I had to travel with the cake and I didn't want the ducky falling over.
