Plus in lieu of the cake board I think the platter we got was pretty good--held up to the weight of the cake pretty well, but I'll have to look into getting a cake board specifically next time! It was a lot of fun so I'll definitely be making tiered cakes in the future :) Thank you for the comment!!June Burnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05765278262258918356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6151923299376800723.post-43769495166265673172015-11-01T04:04:36.914-05:002015-11-01T04:04:36.914-05:00Your cake turned out really well!

I'm sure you know this now, but just in case I thought I might make it a bit easier next time; when making a tiered cake you want a cake board (heavy enough to support the weight of the final cake, or it can crack your icing when lifted) as well as dowels (some people use thick straws-just some kind of internal support) between each tier that will have another cake on top, this helps the weight so your cake doesn't collapse. Your tiers were smaller and you used a dense cake/brownie so you were lucky ;) Hope that makes sense, so baseboard, cake layer, BC/filling, cake layer, etc. I put each tier on its own board regardless so I can move them in & out of the fridge easier (these are thin boards that are typically the same size as your cake layers or a bit smaller depending on your preference & these set on your dowels for support). Then I'd ice the cake, add your dowels then repeat for the 6' cake, the cake rounds underneath also help you move your layers easier without messing up your BC. The 6' obviously doesn't need dowels since nothing's going on top of that one besides your yummy toppings ;) hope that makes sense! So awesome, I can't believe that's your first tiered cake!Smckinney07https://www.blogger.com/profile/11118697197495585131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6151923299376800723.post-83627598049738203672015-10-11T19:52:17.310-04:002015-10-11T19:52:17.310-04:00Yes, brownie cake is truly a treat!
