Hi everyone,
my little bit wants a pirate ship for his upcoming birthday, but it's not going to be big enough to feed everyone at the party, so I was considering placing it on top of round or square tier. How do you all handle the support structure since the ship itself will not go on top of square or round cake board?
Any advice?
Thanks in advance, P
Hmm, I don't use dowels on my tiered cake, only SPS. My concern is that cake board under the ship will collapse because of additional weight of so much fondant and decorations. How many dowels would I need to use and what their configuration be?
Can I use foamcore with SPS? Columns just seem much sturdier than dowels...
Yes I believe you can use SPS with foam core but given that your top tier (the boat) is not the standard shapes (round or square) I don't think you can use SPS.
WOuld you not just place dowels under the portion of the base cake that will be sitting under the ship and kind of spread the dowels for even support? That would be my guess.
Or, If you are really concerned, use the SPS and frost the top plate right in there. The you don't have to worry about the shape of the boat. It will sit on the hidden plate that is as big as the cake it is sitting on.
