Hi guys, I'm hoping someone could enlightening me, I'm sorry if it's been asked before, I'm not 100% sure what the correct names for things are so not sure what to search. 

I've seen a few tall cake demos where they have put a cake board in the middle (I think there was another name for it). I understand this is to help with stability etc. But I'd like to know if this also helps in dividing tall cakes into the equivalent of two seperate cakes for cutting? If that makes sense? 

Just to clarify, say you had 6 sponges but put the thin cake board in the middle, then decorated it as normal. Does this mean when cutting it, you can just cut down to the board essentially giving you a slice of cake with 3 layers? Or would the thin cake board not be suitable for that?

If there is a board in the middle, you cut to the board and that is where you stop and then when the the half js gone, you remove that board and cut the rest.

Brilliant thank you. Probably a stupid question to be honest but I had to check it would work like that
