    I’ve been doing cakes for almost 10 years and have to say this was the most detailed and helpful video I’ve ever watched on how to stack a cake. Would have loved something like this way back when I was just learning. Great job!

    This is best tutorial I’ve ever seen! It’s extremely comprehensive. There are so many tutorials that show making layer cakes but fault to mention anything about the use of dowels. That is an absolute essential when making a layer cake and I can only imagine how many people are trying to make a layer cake and wondering why their cakes have slid sideways or have been crooked!

    I've looked at a number of videos for the same advice, and yours is excellent! I wasn't sure about the dowel/straw decision, but you've convinced me to use dowels, and you explain how many per layer - so helpful. Inserting a pointed dowel in center at the end through layers and through the cardboard is great b/c, as you said, aligning predrilled holes is more stressful, I think. I'm excited to try this for my first 2-tier cake. I would LOVE to see how you box this 3-tier and how you deliver in your car. Thank you, thank you.!!❤

    The one time I did a tiered cake, I would have loved this tutorial. Although it did stay upright and structure was ok, it got weird bubble things sticking out between layers. Any idea why that happened? I know they were air, but how come mine had that and yours doesn’t? Is there some trick to avoiding them happening?

    I need to make a 10 inch, four layer cake, just exactly like the bottom one of this cake on your video, so without the other tiers. I have never made a tall cake like that. Should I use about the same amount of dowels that you used on this one, even though there’s not going to be another cake on top?
