Am doing a wedding cake.8",12" & 16".I know that I have to use dowels & I have a sturdy, silver covered board for the base. Do I have to use thick boards for the other two tiers or do I use the cardboard rounds for the 8" & 12". The cake will be covered in fondant. Do the boards have to be the same size as the cake or slightly larger?

I would use double or triple bords or they will bend and cause you major problems. if you do not want to have to put a border big enough to hide the boards, then you can cut them the same size as the cake.

i also only use single boards on layers other than the bottom (with dowels of course)
