New Here, Need Help With 3 Layers
Decorating By carebrm Updated 25 Jun 2006 , 4:03pm by candyladyhelen
Hi!
I'm very new to this (started in March of this year after getting really bad cakes from the store ) and need a bit of help.
I'm going to be making a 3 layer 8" round cake for my sons 1st birthday. Do I need to dowel it? I might mention it will probably be hot that day. I'm just filling it with buttercream between the layers.
I did do a 9" x 13" double layer and definitely needed dowels but I'm not sure about this one.
Thank you!
I do not have nearly as much experience as most people on this site, but I do 3 layer, 9 inch rounds on a regular basis and have never used dowels. I level every cake so it doesn't tip to one side. I would suggest making the buttercream with all shortening. I do find it lasts better in the heat.
Good Luck
No, you don't have to use dowels for layers of cakes. It's when you do tiers of different sizes that you need to put cardboard between the tiers & dowels.
