absolutely gorgeous cake thanks for sharing, is there a tutorial for the design on the cake

[neerubhatia]

Have you kept these cakes on some base or direct one over another. Should every cake need base cardboard?

[bunnymad]

This is really helpful. Thanks! No one has said dowels are for making sure it doesn't collapse in on itself.

Thank you so much for making this video! I have a wedding cake to make for my final and this was one of my concerns.

Do you use a board on the bottom of each cake ?

Hi Love your tutorials such a stunning cake just wondered how many dowels would you add to.a 12" bottom tier cake to support a 10" cake and have you ever used bubba straws instead of dowels just wondered if they give the same support
