I'm making my first wedding cake for a friend and the bride would like tall tiers - 4 layers of cake in each. If my cake tiers are about 2" in height, should I put a plate in the middle of the tiers so that each tier has two separate 2-layer cakes, or should I make them all as one single tier, so that each slice would be 4-layers?
Any suggestions and/or experience would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks for the help!
Make them with the plate in the middle. Then the slices will all look the same when served. MUCH easier to serve 2-layer sections...
And dowel each section as if it was a separate tier.
And if you can swing the ingredients, bake one tall tier as a test. Fill thinly with their chosen filling, and ice thinly with buttercream. Just because.
My regular tier size is 4 layers. Each layer is 1" thick. When cut, each slice has 4 layers to it. I use sep. plates between the tiers but not between layers.
Are your two layer cakes 4" tall or 2" tall?
Usually, when a bride/client requests "tall" tiers, they mean 6 layers. 6 is the most I will do without a plate. I have done 8 layers, but I used a plate between the 2 sets of 4 layers.k

Sorry, I wasn't that clear. I meant that each cake layer is about 2" tall, and they want 4 layers per tier. So each tier will be ~8".
If I put a plate in the middle of each tier, the catering company should know how to cut that, right?
Thank you!
I figured you meant 4 layers each 2".
Print an info sheet for the caterers then they will know for sure.
