Use any combination of dowel rods, boards, separator plates
and pillars. You may also use push-in pillars, which eliminate
the need for dowel rods and a plate or board to support
the pillars.
Step 1
Mark all tiers for dowel rod placement using a separator plate (for pillar tiers) or a cake circle (for stacked tiers) the same size as the tier above. Insert dowel rods. The key to success is inserting dowel rods accurately at every level for support.
Step 2
Position the tier which will be on pillars on a plate 2 in. larger in diameter. The two separator plates which will connect the pillars should be the same diameter.
Step 3
Starting at the bottom level, stack tiers.
Step 4
Position the separator plate (feet up) that will support the tier on pillars.
Step 5
Position pillars over feet.
Step 6
Carefully position the plated tier on the pillars.
If using Push-In Pillars,ice cakes on cake circles.
