Help With Stacking Wedding Cake Tiers
Decorating By jayla Updated 29 May 2007 , 4:11pm by cake-angel
With fondant it is a quick scoot off the edge of table onto my hand and a quick plop as gently as I can to place it. I saw Nicholas Lodge do this on a tap I have of his and do it regularly. As far as butter cream I use an extra cake board under my cake that is bigger than my cake. Then I pick it up using the bigger board and put my hand underneath of it as I remove the bigger board. Then I center my tier and try to lightly plop it also onto the bottom tier gently of course! Then if I smudge the side I can dab repair and add my border and you can never tell.
you can also leave you dowels sticking out about 1 inch on the bottom layer so when you put the top layer on, it will push them the rest of the way down and your fingers can fit under perfect
Have heard this one too! Good point.

I'm going to try this method for some upcoming wedding cakes I have to do! Seems like it would work sooo well!
I did the raised dowel thing for mine but I put half of them all the way in and the other half raised. I did push the raised ones all the way in and then raised them back up though as I wanted them to follow the same path when they went down!! I worked great!!
