Hello all!
A bit of advice please for a cake novice!
My brother is getting married in just over a week and when he came to visit me today said that they aren't having a cake as they can't afford one. :(
They haven't asked for any gifts so was just going to give them vouchers but have now agreed I'll sort a cake.
It's basically too late notice to get a proper cake made so I am going order simple white pre made cakes from marks and Spencer's.
Like this modern cake

Or this traditional cake

I was going to get an extra large and large tier. Stack them (in the easiest way possible) and place some premade decorations on (seen some lovely simple ones online).
I know nothing about stacking cakes though !!
The "modern" cakes don't seem to come on the silver boards so I'd need to dowel these wouldn't I ?
However, if you look at the "traditional" cakes - in one of the pictures they've stacked it without pillars and literally just plonked the cakes on top of one another, boards and all!! I'll try to attach this specific pic.
My question is, could I get the traditional cakes, turn up at the venue with them in the boxes, put them on top of each other on the cake table (boards and all) and place some silk flower decorations round (to obscure the boards?)
Or do I really need to dowel them?
Thanks all xx
