Tips For Perfectly Aligning Cake Tiers

By Bhavana Verma

Level Your Cakes

Trim the dome tops of the cake to make sure each layer is flat and stable.

Use Sturdy Cake Boards

Ensure proper support by placing each tiere on a sturdy cake board that is the same size as the cake.

Use Dowels For Support

Insert dowels in the bottom tiers to support the weight of the upper tiers and keep the cake from collapsing.

Chill Cakes Properly

Refrigerate each cake tier to make the texture firm so the cake holds the shape.

Measure and Mark

Ensure precise alignment by measuring and marking the centre of each tier and cake board.
