OMG I cant believe I just did that!!

Considering that it's fairly cold, it might hold together ok. Was the cake cold? 

How did you even do that?  Did you stack it up intending to leave it there only briefly to see how it was going to look after you doweled it? 

oh no

No kidding huh?

I bet it will be just fine, bet you anything. Especially if sits still and no one moves it around. Honestly, I don't even think I need to support 4" tiers sometimes, but how stupid would I look if something happened...lol.

then you have a good excuse! it's her fault

go go go

"MEDIC!!!!"

one medic for the cake... you!

and one for me & AZC with a lotta pills

why do i keep fanning myself when i read this post

I will keep my fingers crossed that nothing will happen to the cake!!! I know you will be on pins and needles waiting for a phone call. Hopefully, you will only receive a phone call telling you how good the cake was!!! Holding my breath!!!!!Good luck/MARY
 

Seriously, that size & 2 tiers should be fine.

I know people will be shocked, but I often don't dowel a 2 tier.  I just posted one today that I didn't http://cakecentral.com/g/i/2898428/a/3289760/this-cake-was-created-for-an-auction-to-benefit-the-summerville-sc-youthdreams-community-the-theme-was-just-desserts-the-music-in-me-the-piano-tier-was-created-using-cut-strips-of-black-white-fondant-the-playbills-were-made-from-edible/

forget the pills get me an i.v.!!!!

Speaking of drama queens, y'all... you're going to give this poor woman an unnecessary heart attack - hahaha! I've done several 6" & 8" two-tiers without doweling them and nothing has happened. They were for family functions, so I was around to see what went on, and what went on was...nothing. They stayed together just fine. My only disaster in this area was a one-tier that simply decided to fall apart on its way to the festivities - still don't know why. It was also for a family function and everyone was very understanding (and hungry, too, probably), so it all got eaten anyway. Take a chill pill, everybody - it's going to be all right!
