Does anyone know if I should dowel a cake dummy? It's a 20" base tier of styrofoam with a 16" square, 12" square, and 8" square on top of that. Is it strong enough to hold that or do I need to support the upper tiers?
Thanks!!!
Only the bottom tier is styrofoam. I was thinking of transporting the bottom tier (20" styrofoam) and the 16" cake tier together and doweling the 16" to the 20" with a few sharpened dowel rods.
Then I was thinking of stacking the 12" and the 8" together and transporting them stacked with a few dowels going through both of them. I've never tried to place two stacked tiers on a cake before, though. Would you recommend that or not?
Maybe it would be easier to go ahead and stack and dowel the 20", 16", and 12" and then just add the 8" tier on site. Which is better?
Does this make sense???

What I did a couple of weekends ago for four tier stacked cake was to stack and dowel the bottom 2 and then stack and dowel the top 2. Then I put it all together on site. I also used the hidden pillars in between the two seperate sections so when I got there all I had to do was sit ot right down on it (didn't have to worry about centering it, etc) and add a border.
