There are no stupid questions....
I also learned to put toasted coconut on the bottom layer so that when you pick up the top cake with the cake seperator, the cake is still iced and looks fairly nice for presentation with the coconut.
I would think that you could use other stuff, but the coconut is a good start.
Anyone else??
Good Luck.
yes, I do both. cardboard and plastic plate between all tiers. I've never had a sticking problem.... if you have a good crusting BC, you should be fine.
To illustrate, if you look in my photos (last page, last 6 pics), you can see a cake that I've disassembled. You can see the imprint of the cake plate on top of the tier, showing that it WAS sitting right on the icing, but when I took it apart, the icing remained in place.
