Hi All,
I'm gonna attempt doing this cake (below) next weekend. Do i need to put anything in between the cakes to support them or i can just stack them on top each other. This is my 1st try on stack cakes and would appreciate some tips. I intend to bake a 7x7" cake.
Thank you.
It would be best to place support boards and dowels between every two layers of cake. This will prevent the weight of the cakes from taking from a cube to cube with a spare tire.
I hope you post a picture because I love the Rubic's cube. ![]()

thanks for the quick advise guys.
do i place each layer of the cake on a 7" board (the cake is 7")? will the boards be very obvious when i serve the cake. also, how do i use dowels? sorry this is my 1st attempt on stack cakes.
michele, what do you mean when u say: "This will prevent the weight of the cakes from taking from a cube to cube with a spare tire". Don't quite get you.
Are you doing 2 layers of cake per section? If so, then make a regular cake with those 2 layers with the bottom cake sitting on a cake board the same size as the cake. Make 3 of these for each rotating layer. Put dowels in each tier to support the next tier.
By a spare tire I mean that the weight of the cake will cause the sides to buldge outward. Sorry, I was trying to be cute, I guess that crashed. ![]()
