Hi all, I am new to this site, Just a home Baker at the moment for family. I am going to attempt making a two tier cake for my sister's Birthday, 8inch and 6inch. Just wanted to know the cake board you use for the 6inch cake to rest on, is it a normal thin cake board? 

 

Also would I need to stick a long dowel road down the middle, even though the cake will not be travelling? I know I will still have to put dowel's in the 8inch cake, just confused about the long middle one. 

 

Would appreciate your help.

Thank you birthday.gif

Correct, you shouldn't need a dowel down the middle.  I have never used one for any of my tiered cakes, actually, but they never leave home. =)   But you will need dowels in that bottom tier to hold up the 6". 

 

Good luck!

Well, I take that back, a few have left home, but never went far, so I didn't dowel. =)
