HI!!
I am thinking about using a cake spacer for the first time ever. I assume that I can just use white foam. I'm wondering though can it be covered in Buttercream? Having never used one I'm not sure of how well buttercream covers.
Also, how do I dowel it? should I not use the cardboard cake rounds so that I can dowel from the top tier through to the bottom?
My Plan is to only use 1 spacer. I have a 6 inch round, 8 inch square, 10 inch round. I was going to use a spacer between the 10 and 8 inch. And I'm not sure if I should use a round or a square spacer.
What do you think? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Styrofoam cake dummies can be covered in buttercream.
Doweling a dummy isn't necessary, just make sure the dummy is on its own board so that it isn't pierced by the dowels below. All cakes should also be on their own cake boards.
An 8 inch square cake will not fit on a 10 inch round... it needs to go on a 12 inch round so that it doesn't overhang.
Right angle measurements:
4" 5.66
5" 7.07
6" 8.49
7" 9.9
8" 11.31
9" 12.73
10" 14.14
11" 15.56
12" 16.97
13" 18.38
14" 19.8
15" 21.21
16" 22.63
17" 24.04
18" 25.46
This is what I was wondering too. Thank you CWR41
Would you center dowel the whole cake if you gonna transport the cake stacked?
First of all, I don't see any advantage to transport a cake already assembled when dummies are used... it's easy enough to assemble on site. With this cake, I wouldn't attempt to deliver it stacked because it's already top heavy, and why chance it with two tiers above a smaller diameter dummy below... it could rock and roll, and crash and burn!
