There are lots of interesting, unique and elegant individual layers or cakes ideas that one can choose, all depending on the wedding theme, style and color-scheme. But let’s see how easy is to stack wedding cakes in your own kitchen simply following these homely suggestions.

So, to be able to create a staked wedding cake and to maintain the layers in a perfect balance and position you need to get a board for the bottom tier of the cake. Don’t think that the layers of the cake can sustain each other just like that. No no no, they need a wooden doweling on each tier.

To make sure that the bottom is firmly rooted on the stand or board, use dobs of icing. Use ice for every separate tier of the cake and stuck it down to the board to create a more firm and resisting structure. Don’t worry about the boards because will only serve you as a support and therefore they won’t be visible.

For your personal pleasure you can buy a colored thin board covered with gold or silver form any wedding cake decorating stores out there, but it really doesn’t matter because these boards won’t come out in any case. Any finishing decorations and intricate details can be made after you manage to assemble the stacked wedding cake.

Another interesting and efficient way to stack tiered wedding cakes is by using pillars. But this method must be used only by those of you who aren’t having a too heavy, elaborated, abundant and too extensive wedding cake. Only lighter, simpler and easy tiered wedding cakes can be stuck with pillars because they don’t have a very strong capacity of holding larger wedding cakes. If you are having a light wedding cake use sturdy drinking straws instead of the dowelling.
