Hi everyone,
I'm pretty new here so I apologise if this is posted in the wrong section ... I am going to be baking and decorating a cake at the weekend, I'm going to be doing a 2 tier cake and was wondering if I am able to stack the cakes or if the bottom cake will sink if I do this?
If so then what is the best way to do a 2 tier cake?
Thanks
Carly
Depending on the sizing of the top cake it may not be a problem. I have completed several cakes that had no more support than the bottom cake. one of them being a 6in x 6 in round cake sitting on top of a sheet ( it was for my son's class, a grassy field made of butter cream with a tree stump cake covered in fondant with robins eggs hidden around) and there was no dipping at all.
There is a 'how-to' in the Articles tab on tiered/stacked cakes. It shows step-by-step instructions. I set my dowels just a bit taller so the bottom layer doesn't get the icing smooshed onto the cake board above it.
Make sure your cake board fits the layer it's placed under for no-show. You can always add a decorative border if a little bit of the board doesn't get hidden with your icing
