I have a stacked cake comming up soon and this is the first time I really had a stacked cake. The sizes are 16x16x4 square, then a 12x4 round, then a 10x4 round. These three will be stacked, what I don't know for sure is how to do it. Should I stack them and finish decorating them at home, or should I take the cakes individually and stack them at the reception? Any help will be greatly appreciated!!

The Wilton instructions say you can transport it stacked, but I've never been brave enough to do that. Just make sure you take extra frosting and a spatula, you'll probably stick a finger or two in the frosting when you're stacking.
i personally assemble stacked cakes at home and deliver all together, but pillared cakes i always assemble at the destination.
just make sure to have dowels or some kind of support through the whole thing.
personally i would dowel each level and have one dowel go through at least the top 2 levels, preferably all 3. make sure to keep it on the floorboard (or another level surface) and put foam and/or non-skid rubber under the thing.
