This is just an illusion since the Stacked Wedding Cake Construction 101 Unlike wedding cakes with tiers that are separated by plates and pillars, the tiers on a stacked wedding cake appear to rest directly on top of one another. Beyond a healthy amount of butterflies, you have absolutely nothing to fear if you follow these tips. These sorts of nightmares are normal for first time wedding cake makers. And no, you won't have to add therapist bills to your cake budget to get through your big project.
This nightmare does not have to become reality. (And then you wake up, covered in sweat, only to realize that this dream could actually become reality.) But wait! All four top tiers sink into the bottom tier, turning a once majestic beauty into a giant pile of fondant covered cake rubble! As bride and groom pose for the cake cutting ceremony pictures, you look on as each tier slowly sinks into the one beneath it, and just as your sister and her new husband smile and begin to slice their first piece of cake, the force of gravity and the domino effect take hold and the cake implodes.
The cake in your dreams is taller than any cake you've even seen. As you go over designs with your sister by day, you dream about the cake at night. And it's for your sister's wedding! You've been asked to make a wedding cake - a five tiered, stacked wedding cake. That day you've secretly feared since you started decorating cakes is quickly approaching.
