re: Wedding Cake with pillars

I’m doing a four tier next month. I’m going to YouTube before I stack. As a rule I would use 5 dowels in the bottom tier, 4 in the next and 3 in the next. I’ve seen Americans use a thick dowel and screw it into the base board and lower all the cakes over it. I’d still use dowels in between the layers to help hold it up… Good luck
