I have questions about the cake rounds used for the upper tiers.

1) Do you cover with foil so they don't absorb the moisture and bend?

2) If so, how do you prevent the glue on the bottom of the round from getting on the layer beneath it?

some people do cover with foil. also can use wax paper circle underneath to protect the bottom tier.

The way I do that, and the way they did it at the bakery I worked in, was to cover the board with plastic wrap, then place a parchment paper circle underneath it, between the board and the cake *below* it, to keep the icing on the lower layer from sticking to the plastic wrap when that board is lifted off.

I use bakery craft plastic plates..I cover the board with clear contact paper, then place it on the plate. (it has this pin that sticks out that punches a whole in the board to keep it in place)
