3 Tier Wedding Cake Stand

Wedding cakes are usually the highlight of the evening and very much looked forward to by the guests. What is interesting to know is that wedding cake was around as far back as the Roman Empire. Of course it wasn't cake but a loaf of bread that was used and here's the not so fun part for the bride, the groom would eat a part of the bread and then break the rest on the bride's head. Well that would take some digesting for the women!

Today wedding cakes are a huge affair, the bigger the better, the fancier the better too. Having wedding cakes with fountains to light them up is all the rage. This article takes a look at just how you go about making a 3 tier wedding cake stand. Not everyone can afford to buy; some people do actually make their own wedding cakes. Some make them out of sheer pride because they happen to be excellent bakers; others unfortunately are forced to do it at home due to budget constraints.

Since it's a 3 tier wedding cake stand you will need to have three cake tins of varying sizes – 12, 9 and 6 inches should do just fine. After you have baked your cakes using your baking pans, you will need to very gently remove the cakes and set the pans aside. Cut the three cakes into two layers each so that you have six halves in total.

Cut out of cardboard 3 circles that are the same circumference of your 3 tins. Set the bottom halves of the cake on their matching cardboard pieces. Now you will need to get creative and decorate your cake, spreading whatever mixture you have prepared as a filling between each set of cake pieces. Place the cakes gently in the refrigerator to set for about 30 minutes or so. Now bring them out and start placing the bottom layer on the stand you have prepared and then place the other two layers on. You will need to insert protection between the layers to hold them in place. This is very important so do not forget or you will have your entire cake toppling over.

Complete your decorations, your stand should have already been decorated, preferably in the colors of the wedding and your 3 tier wedding cake stand is ready of the wedding!
