What Do I Put In Between Layers
Decorating By TastersDelight Updated 25 Apr 2006 , 8:25pm by BlakesCakes
Sorry I'm not to much of a helper, but if you look up fillings in the receipe section, you'll find tons. That's what I usually do when I don't know which filling will be good. I just go through them and find which one I want.
Good luck!
Thank you for your answer, but guess I should have been more clear. Do I use sep. plates, cardboard rounds, etc?
Yes, you really need to ask the client. What type frosting are you putting on under the fondant?
oh, you need to put a board between each tier, I wrap mine in glad press n seal & put powd. sugar underneath the board so it won't pull the icing off the lower cake.
also, you need to have a central dowel, which is one that goes through the middle.
You shouldn't assemble the cake until you get there, though.
Any other questions, you can pm me if you'd like.
Good Luck!
I would put each layer on a plastic plate and use the hidden pillars cut to the height of the cake. To me this is the easiest way to stack a cake. Using the Wilton hidden pillars you do not have to do any other dowels.
I have used the Wilton hidden pillars for years now and will not stack a cake any other way.
Each individual cake layer must be on a "board". I find the best for stacking is 3/16 th inch foamcore cut to the exact size of the layer. You don't need to cover foamcore with anything, as it is essentially greaseproof. You can stick the cake layer to the board using royal. If you are transporting the cake fully stacked & assembled, you'd want to use royal and be certain that the cake has had time to sit and "set up" in place. Put dowels or hidden pillars in each tier exactly the height of each tier and then one long wooden dowel, sharpened, through all the tiers. The wooden dowel will need to be tapped through all of the layers and boards using a mallet or meat tenderizer.
