Choosing Tier Sizes- Playing With The Norm
Decorating By sugarflorist Updated 17 Oct 2014 , 9:20am by sugarflorist
I have looked at so many pictures of tiered cakes and it has left me wondering why they all have graduated tier sizes with the largest on the bottom and the smallest on the top. is there a constructive reason for it? or is it just because it has always been done that way
has any one ever tried making a tiered cake using the same size tiers separated by either pillars or dummy separators. I know we have the infamous upside down stack but it still uses the same principal.
has anyone ever tried a design that uses the same size cake for each tier?
would you consider for example stacking 10inch cakes and a 6 inch separators to produce a four tier cake. if it has been done i would love to see the effect.
And, although one look in my gallery would tell you this - I did not make that cake. I just looked for an example of what I thought you might mean. It is a very different look. Post yours when you do one. :)

thanks kimmisue i tried all sorts of word combos but did not find anything 
what search phase did you use?
I googled "tiered cakes same size" but even that only yielded a couple results. I'm a self-proclaimed google-ho and usually find anything I want, but so far, even though I know there are more out there, I haven't found that many. It's becoming a vendetta as the morning wears on......
supposedly the shape comes from the French croquembouche, which was once in favor for wedding desserts. I have heard that if the bride and groom could kiss over the towering pile of pastry, it meant good luck in their marriage.

You have found a lot more than my efforts - i have been looking for hours i hve been on pin interest too. I really like the symetry. i am planning a cake for a competition in march with 4 tiers will have to use this idea i think - with so few to be found i may score a few points for originality if the judges have not seen it before

Well good luck in your endeavors and definitely let us see your masterpiece. Now I'm off to work, because if the cyber-police care one whit about what I'm doing I've already got some 'splaining to do!
