When Stacking A Fondant Tiered Cake??

Do you use cake boards between each cake? Thought I had everything answered but then I was like hey am I suppose to use a cake board under each cake?
Dowels in each of the lower cakes and yes, cake boards between each layer. HTH
Ok Thanks! One More question. My cakes seem to have baked a little smaller than the cake board itself. How can I cover the cake board? With a Boarder?

When that happens, I just use the board as a guide on how thick the buttercream/ganache is.
You can but I just trim the cake board till it's smaller then the cake.
I would absolutely use a board & dowels for 2 tier--better to be safe than sorry
so would you use a cake board and dowels even if it's just a two-tier cake?
Any time you have one cake going on top of another you must provide support. It is the cake board and dowels that hold up the upper tiers, not the cakes below. Cake is not strong enough to support the weight of another cake on top of it.
