Hi!

I'm sure you know this

Perhaps your cake is too soft, too much filling, too much frosting under the fondant?

Hope this helps a little

It's really important that each cake to be stacked is level in itself before stacking it. Also each cake needs its own cake board underneath it. If you have too much icing/filling then the cakes may squish each other down wonky. I use fondant icing and if I'm, stacking mroe than two I leave 24 hours for the icing to harden before stacking them. If you're doing these things really carefully then your cakes will stack straight. Good luck with future stacking!
