I am making a 3 layer chocolate fudge cake.
Do I need to put the 3rd layer on a cake board and put dowels in the bottom 2 layers or can I just dam between all the layers.
I will be putting fondant over all of the layers and a simple topper on the top.
TIA !!!!!
Are we talking about TIERS or LAYERS? You say layer is that the cake that comes from one pan? If so you can stack 3 of those just fine no dowels needed... I made one a few weeks ago and traveled with it to work and the customer traveled back to her house and it was fine!
3 tiers (2 layers each) that is a different story... For that you need dowels.
It's 3 layers. All the same size from 1 pan. Hope that makes sense. Luckily it's for my daughters birthday so I don't have to move it.
Thank you all for your help.
I have just put the dowels in just to be on the safe side. I'm going to use all 3 layers.
Now if I can just stop my daughter from putting her little fingers in it. She's a choco-holic like her mom.
It's a camp rock, pink girly cake. I'll post pics when I get it finished tomorrow.
Thank you all again.
I do 3 layer cakes all of the time to get extra height (Besides, I hate torting!). If you're worried about it sliding at all, try chilling the cake prior to decorating and serving.
Have a great time!
