Hi freds, I answered you when you asked the other day, but just incase here is my reply again.Any problems just ask. Yes you do need to put the cake on a thin board. Are you going to secure the cake to the bottom tier! If so you will need dowling sticks. These are pushed into the bottom tier with about an inch showing above the cake. Then make holes in the thin card (that you are going to put under the top tier) at the same place as the raised dowling. Then place the top tier on and push down to secure top tier so that it will not fall off.
You can omit the dowling stage if you are going to place the cake without it being moved.
