I am making a car cake in an 18 inch rectangular pan. I need to layer it so that it would increase in height and each layer is 4cm in height. Do I use dowels to support it? I will be making three layers. Also my first layer almost split in half. It has a huge crack in the middle. Do I use it as the base or middle? Or do I rebuke completely?
help please :( thanks
As the other poster said, the split layer can be used - glued together w/b/cream. I would use it on the bottom so the base board helps support the crack. Be sure to use a base board thick enough to support the wight - maybe double your usual.
You mention the cake being 3 layers tall....rule of thumb is use dowels to support any amount of layers over 4" or 5" tall.
