First Tier-10" vanilla round cake, buttercream frosting
Second Tier-8" chocolate round cake, buttercream frosting
Techniques Used-sweet pea flowers, star flowers, leaves, vines,
Focus-two tier cake
I knew that with a tiered cake, each tier can't just be place on top of each other without any support, but I wanted some practice with this. Honestly, the design on the cake wasn't at all what I envisioned, even though I think it still looks nice.
Tier Cake Materials-4-8 supports per tier (wooden dowels, tapioca/milkshake straws, Wilton supports, etc.)
Tier Cake Directions-Make sure each tier has a plate, foil-wrapped cardboard, or something similar underneath it.
Take your supports and set them next to the bottom tier for your measurement. Cut to the length you need, then stick them into the bottom tier. I only used 4, but if you are starting out with bigger tiers, you may want more support.
Another note, if you are wanting to make a "topsy turvy" cake, I would recommend watching the Cake Boss episode called "Freaks, Fast Food, & Frightened Frankie" from Season 2. It shows how to stack the tiers about 9 minutes into the show.
This cake was decorated September 2009.
