Hi, I’ve done several bottle cakes both 2d and 3d. It’s always best to insert a sharpened wooden dowel straight through the top of the cake into the cake board so the cake layers don’t shift. I stack in this order… 2 small rounds with small dowels or straws for support, a cake board cut to size then I stack the next 2 cakes. If you need it to be taller just repeat with more cake layers, but make sure you add dowels/straws underneath the cake board for support.I always make the neck from RKT, then the dowel straight through. Hope this helps :-)
