Im gonna make my first attempt at a tiered cake. Its my sister's great grand mother in law( yeah long relation)'s 100th bday. so i dont wanna mess up. Have a few questions:
a) wht kind of cake is best to support a tiered construction. I plan to do just 3 since its my first time.
b) i generally soak my cakes in sugar syrup. Im not sure if i can do it for this kind of cake . So in that case how do i make sure the cake remains moist.
TIA,
Arwa
The cakeboards and dowels actually support the cake layers in the tiers, not the cakes themselves.

Please, no "save" posts per Jackie. Thanks!!!
I don't see why not if you put each cheesecake on its own separator plate:

Please someone more experienced with cheesecakes; feel free to jump in and help. 
thnx JanH for all the help... i wonder y no one else is replying!
I think because over in the United states it is about 2am. So most of us are probably in bed!
But I just wanted to say everything that Jan told you is what I was thinking when I read your post.
The dowels and boards are what support the tiers, not the cake. And I have seen cheesecake as a wedding cake. I have even seen it decorated completely like a cake with two layers of cheese cake then Iced in buttercream.
Refrigerae your cheesecake to work with it cold. Maybe even freeze after you dowel it to cover it while it's nice and firm. I have seen cheesecakes as wedding cakes stacked and all. Just get a good recipe that is both firm and creamy, but it does not have to be dry at all.

I think this the best bet, definitely, the separators that go inside the cake!!!!
