I am making a stacked fruit cake for my local chuches 50th anniversary.
It is 14" and 10" covered in fondant with extension work and lace pieces around the sides. 
The question is: this thing is going to weigh a tonne!!! 
I have just realised that I cant stack and transport, 
will have to stack on site.
How do I ensure that I dont break the extension work around either of the tiers.
Do I make the dowels slightly higher and have the ribbon around the top tier slighty lower so it will hide the gap (the boards will be covered in fondant) or it there another way of doing this????
Hope I am making sense of this to you. I also just realised that I wont be able to put the cleats undet the cake until I have finished decorating or else they will get in the way of the tilting turntable. 
Many thanks in advance oh wise ones.
