HiI want to make my boyfriend a 3d graduation hat cake for his graduation but have no clue how to go about it, i was thinking baking a round cake then square cake to put on top, however worried it wont hold its weight and may collapse? Would really appreciate ideas, links to websites etcThank you!
When I used to make wedding cakes, I always used a cardboard cakeboard between each tier of stacked cakeSo you could do a round one or two layer, then make a square one or two layer (but put it on a cakeboard the same size or maybe 1/4 smaller wrapped in aluminium foil)Place the square ontop of the round and it shouldn't collapseIf you are still worried about stability, you can use wooden dowels cut to the exact height of the round cakes.Stick four or five dowels into the center area of the bottom cake and set the top cake onto this.Make sure to cover the edge of the cakeboard with icing if you can see the foil when the cakes are stackedThis should be fineGood luck.
