i am still very new to this and have never done a normal sized tiered cake, i have only had orders for my "baby cakes". which are tiny 3 tiered cakes. i actually have an order for a normal sized tiered cake now and i was curious as to the best way to support these. i dont want columns so what should i use to support each of the layers.
You can use dowels (tutorial in the article section) or the sps system which is by far the best. PM leahs and she will send you instructions on how to use it and where to get it.
You don't tell us much info to go on Like what sizes? How far does to need to be transported?
SPS is great. But if it is a very small cake (ie: 6" on 9") you could use straws for support.
