I'm doing a monstrosity of a cake for friday and was planning on doing a sheetcake. I am just not a fan of sheetcakes though so I'd like to stack it instead. But my question is this..can you use the thinner cardboard cake rounds underneath the layers..between the first and second and second and third layers? Or do I really need those plastic seperator that they sell at michaels? Michaels is such a drive for me and I'd really rather not make the drive if I don't have to.

Note..I am planning on using dowels to help with the support as well.

Thanks in advance!

I've never stacked a three-tier cake before, but I have stacked a two-tier cake, and the thinner round cake boards worked fine. I used dowels as well, and I never had a problem.

I'm a "suspenders and belt" person, so I use the cardboards AND the plastic plates. But I've seen a lot of posts from CC'ers that just the cardboards work ok.
