When I started stacking cakes, YouTube wasn't even BORN yet so I had to work it out for myself. Lucky for you, I've already made all of the mistakes so that you don't have to! Here is the best way I know how to stack tiered cakes, for a supersturdy, transportable, level cakestravaganza! #cupcakejemmabakes #stackedcakes

Check below for handy links...

You will need...
2 or 3 cakes which you have levelled, filled, crumb coated, final coated and chilled for an hour or so (I did 6", 8" and 10")
Biggest tier, iced directly onto a cake drum
Smaller tiers, iced directly onto thin, holepunched cake boards of the same diameter and then stuck on (with buttercream) to slightly bigger cake drum, for easy carrying
Buttercream in the same colour as your tiers
Royal icing, made fairly stiff consistency
long thin and thick plastic or wooden dowels/supports/pillars/thick straws
secateurs or very strong scissors
sharp knife or holepunch for...er...hole punching
greaseproof paper and scissors
palette knife
soft round paint brush
paper towel
piping bags
white chocolate (coloured if you like) for dripping
