I have an order for a small anniversary cake, a 10" , 8" and 6". One layer each. The cake is going to Silsbee--a few hours away. Do ya'll think I need to put boards under the 6" and 8" cakes with supporting dowels in the 10" and 8"? I know I will put a center dowel through the entire cake, but to me, this seems like a 3-layer cake and I don't use supports on those.

Any thoughts on this??? TIA--Pam

I don't think you need any supports, boards or dowels. A three layer cake shouldn't need anything like that.

That's what I was thinking, but I wanted other opinions. Thanks Jenn123 for the fast reply.

No problem. I did a 4 tier/layer cake like this last weekend. It traveled fine with no support. I did put a board under the 6" top so that the bride could keep it.

I don't think it would necessarily NEED the boards......but I think it's nice to have them for when the cake needs to be disassembled and cut...makes things much easier.
