Yay, I just learned something! TFS 👸🏾You got a new subbie. I’m a cake baker, however, I’m a virgin to stacking tiered cakes. 😩 I’ve watched so many tutorials trying to build my confidence. By golly, I’m ready! 😂 My daughter is having my second granddaughter in 10 yrs. I’m so excited! 🤩 Anyways, I’m having my daughter a surprise baby shower July 1. I’m catering it and I’m making the cakes. I’m wanting to make a 3 tier cake. 10’ strawberry filled with strawberry purée 8’ red velvet, filled with cream cheese and 6’ vanilla, filled with strawberry purée. Is it easier to start with a two tiered smaller size cakes, or will it be the same? Any advice you can give a virgin cake stacker? Also, what are the names of your smaller cake dowels? Thanks in advance. Shalom
Hi there! You've got this!! Starting with a 2 tier is easier. You can get smaller dowels on Wilton's website or on CakeSafe.com. Take your time when stacking. Make sure your dowels are tall enough, but not too tall to cause a gap. We make a product called the Tier Ruler that is very helpful for centering your top tier. Let us know if you have any other questions. You can email us at info@cakesafe.com, just say you were chatting with Rachel on UA-cam.
Good question! Each tier is always on a cardboard cake board. So when you cut a tier into slices it's being removed from the cardboard. If you are cutting the cake while it is assembled, once you serve the top tier, you can take an offset spatula and slide it under the cardboard that the top tier was on to remove it from the candy melts and start cutting the bottom tier.
You mentioned that you put a wooden dowel in the center after you remove the cake safe rod? What size wooden towel do you use and do you have to prepare it so that it is safer to put in a cake?
Great question! The CakeSafe center rod is 3/8th of an inch thick. So a center dowel that is that size or a little thinner is great! You can bring your precut wooden dowel to the venue wrapped in plastic so that it doesn't encounter any germs before you insert it.
Excellent video! Thanks so much!!
Hi could you please tell me where I can get the plastic dowels
Thank you so much for your video
Beautiful Work.

Great video. Will the candy melt stick to the cake and pull away case from the tier beneath it when removed?

Please was the upper tier cake sitting on a cardbord
Yes, you'll always have your tiers sitting on cardboard cake boards.
