I have a 1st birthday party cake to deliver on Sunday. They are expecting about 125 guests. I offered to make the cake as a gift from me and my family as well as an opportunity to showcase my work. I am planning on doing a 4 or 5 tier mad hatter cake. I'm still debating on actually tilting it or decorate it to give the illusion it's tilted 
My question is I will be bringing the cake over in seperate tiers and set it up at the hall. I will put dowels or straws to support the tiers but will it be necessary to still put in the center dowel even though I will be stacking the cake at the reception? I'm thinking 12,10,8,6 & 4" rounds. Any advice?? 
TIA
Even though you're not moving it after stacking, I'd still err on the side of caution and use that center dowel. Better safe than sorry, and it only takes a minute to do it. That's a lot of cake!
I did mine exactly like the tutorial showed on this site for whimsical cakes and even though I cut the top layer the wrong way then tried to fix it AND the filling that I used was "slippery", that cake was going NO WHERE!! The cake is in my photos under Cheetah Girls.!!
I added the top layer on site.HTH
