How to Stack a Three Tier Wedding Cake

Wedding cakes are know for being works of art. Ans since most wedding cakes consist of three or more layers they can also get pretty tall. Although stacking a wedding cake is not very challenging, there are proper techniques that should be used when stacking. The following discusses how to stack three wedding cake layers directly on top of each other.

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Three levels of wedding cake
• A very sturdy base
• Cardboard Cake Circles
• Sturdy straws or cake dowels

1. Layout a very sturdy base. The base should also be relatively large, since it will have to be carried by two or more people when the wedding cake is transferred to the reception location.

2. Place your bottom layer in the center of a cardboard cake circle, and then place the entire thing in the very center of the base.

3. Push three or four straws (or cake dowels) into the very center of the bottom layer. Arrange them so that they are in a bit of a square shape, and spaced out a little to make them sturdier. Make sure not to space them too far apart because you want the straws or dowels to be underneath the next layer.

4. Place the middle layer on a cardboard cake circle, and enter the entire thing over the dowels or straws you place in the bottom layer.

5. Place three dowels or straws into the top of the middle layer forming a triangle. You can put four dowels into this layer as well if it is an extremely large cake.

6. Place your top layer onto a cardboard cake circle and place it onto the straws or dowels in the middle layer.

Tips & Warnings

• It is advised that you transport the three wedding cake tiers in separate layers to the reception location and then stack it once you arrive.
