Designing a Multi Tiered Cake
Click here for Dine Without Whine - A Family Friendly Weekly Menu Planner (fantastic for families with kids)Cakes are great for any celebration or occasion whether it’s a wedding, birthday, graduation, a job promotion, and the list goes on. A multi tiered cake is an assembly of more than one cake on top of each other, so that there are tiers of cake. The cake tiers can be directly placed on top of each other or be tiered using trays and pillars.
You can create multi tiered cakes on your own at home, or you could get them created by a professional who specializes in cakes. Multi tiered cakes are more difficult to make than regular cakes, however, even a novice to the art can manage if you have a good set of guidelines and instructions to follow and you follow them carefully.
Whether you plan on creating a multi tiered cake at home or getting a professional to do it, there are many options in term of possible designs. If a professional is going to create the cake, discuss with them what your expectations are in terms of design. For example, if the cake is for a party with a specific theme, you could try to incorporate the theme into the cake’s design by using a novelty cake tin. However, you could even choose a cake design that you just like, as there are no rules. There are many sources from which you could get ideas, including magazines and of course, the Internet. Cake design is an art so you can get creative, especially is the cake creator is a professional or someone who has lots of experience.
For making the cake at home, think about the design, but try to stick to a simpler design, especially if you don’t have much experience. For example, it is a good idea to start with a 2 tier cake stand if this is going to be your first multi tiered cake. Also, if the cake is to be transported, transport the layers separately and assemble it at the destination. The cost of multi tiered cakes vary greatly depending on the cake and its design.
