OK, I'm on vacation (yea!) and I'm playing cake this week. I haven't done many stacked cakes so I'm working on a 3 tier square stacked design. The stacked cakes need to be the same size as their boards. I don't know how to ice a cake that is the same size as the board. How do you do that? I don't want any of the board to show. I just gave up on my smallest cake because I couldn't ice it. I guess my board was too small. |

I haven't done that many stacked cakes either. I'm still learning. but, I have always used the same size board,(maybe a bit smaller) as the cake and iced over the cake board. I always put a border on so if there is any board showing it will be covered by the border. hope this helped  |

usually, the board should be the same as the base of the cake layer (for between the tiers). I put that on a turntable or movable surface. Ice the cake to cover the board, or if there is a significant border, you can just ice down to the board.
when you go to stack them, pick the layer up with a large spatula under the board. I have an extra large one just for this. or lift it from the turntable and use your fingers.
The bottom tier should be on a board no smaller than 2" more than the largest tier. |
