i've done a couple stacked cakes and both times i've found that the boards get sticky and tear up the icing underneath. i tried putting granulated sugar down between the layers and it worked a little. is there some other method or was it because of the fact i used the wilton buttercream recipe?
One of the best methods I've tried is to put cake crumbs under the cake board. This uses any trimmings and prevents the board from sticking.

Jen, don't use granulated sugar, use powdered sugar. It works beautifully on crusted buttercream. The cardboard does not stick to the powdered sugar, and lifts off without any icing from the cake underneath sticking to it.
I can't imagine the reaction of people eating a bite of cake and crunching on granulated sugar. 
Powdered sugar and/or a circle of waxed paper cut to the size of you cake board and fixed with double sided tape to the bottom. I've had great success with the combo of both!
You can also use a circle of fondant underneath the cardboard betwen the layers.
thanks for all the helpful tips! my buttercream crusts fairly well, although my cake sat in a freezer over night and then i took it to a humid place and it started sweating so i'm sure that helped me none...
put i'm going to try a couple of methods and see which works out best!
again thanks!
I've used toasted coconut underneath the cake board and that helps a lot too.
Oh, that would explain it.
I use powdered sugar (love it!) and I cover the cardboard with Press n Seal! Pops off everytime!
