I'm new to the tiered cake world...so please bear with me. 
I have a 3 tier cake to make coming up in a few weeks. What is best to use under the cakes between each tier? Just regular cardboards?
I was looking at the craft shop today and saw the seperator plates. I see that the flat part would go face down on a cake normally with the 4 little 'nubbies' going on top for pillars (which I'm not using) to attatch to, but would it work just the same for the next tier to be placed on the flat part while the 'nubbies' side goes down into the tier below?
I just thought I'd dowel each teir as it traditionally would and then instead of cardboard, just to use these plates?
Sorry...like I said, I'm new to the tiered thing... 
Thanks in advance!
I wouldn't worry about those "nubbies" leaving ugly holes, as the previous poster said - IF you decide to use them. Either way, you're going to have to pull dowels out of the tiers when unstacking, which will leave those holes anyway. The plates aren't really necessary, though. Cardboards will do just fine, but I agree with the previous poster...wrap them in something waterproof!
