AHey guys!

When you're making a tiered cake what do you put between tiers? A thin piece of cake board? What do you think best?

i use foam core and cardboard circles in ten thousand variations

sometimes cardboard circles need some oomph if one is not enough

and you can put two together criss crossed for strength

sometimes you might wanna run bamboo skewers through the corrugations for strength

maybe criss cross that too depending on how you're using them

i often hot glue those together if using more than one

all depending on the weight and moisture content etc

those cardboard circles can get sotted with moisture and grease so for larger tiers i might use the foam core

some cardboard circles are waxed but usually just on one side

and the foam core needs to be cleaned i think

Rae of BlakeCakes cleans her foam core with vanilla* and then waxes them with food approved soy wax for safety which i  think is brilliant

*pretty sure she said vanilla--an alcohol based substance that dries quick

i'll go check--don't wanna misquote

yes she wipes the foam core boards with grain alcohol or vanilla extract to clean them then wipes on melted soy wax with a paper towel

AThank you so much! I appreciate it!
