hiya,
i am making a wedding cake for tomorrow.
its a 16", 13", 10", 7" and a ceramic topper, round cakes, stacked.
my question is i don't know how many dowels to use in each tier! this is my first stacked cake and i have to admit i'm nervous!
the doweling i have is 140mm wooden doweling.
also, do i cut the doweling the exact height of the cake?
i would appreciate any help you can give me!
thanks in advance ![]()
I've never done large stacked cakes before, so I'm not too sure about the number of dowels to use. But I think you should check out this video to get some stacking advise. HTH and Good luck!
Cut the dowel the same length to each other--very very very very very important.
I usually put dowels about 2-3 inches apart starting at about an inch or 2 in from the perimeter of the cake that they will be sitting under. I think 2-3 inches is right? I'm not a good judge of size, I always have to check! lol Don't put one in the center, though, put a large center dowel in from the top all the way through to the bottom.
