I saw a couple of mentions that people had made whimsical cakes without cutting the holes that make the tiers sit flat. I'm not really excited about trying to cut good holes plus losing that much cake. So am I doomed to have this cake collapse? Tell me you made it work! How steep was the diagonal you had the tiers sitting on?

I have only used that method once and only once. I just stack them right on top of one another now.

What a different perspective on how to do this cake, might have to give it a try!

You can make whimsical cakes without slanted cakes....use "regular" cakes and use dowels or styrofoam wedges in between layers to make them tilt. The most important thing to do is to run a sharpened dowel right through the middle of all the tiers to hold them in place.
