Welcome to the Cake Decorators Q&A

I want to use two fruit cakes on top of each other for the top tier of my daughters wedding cake. Do I need to put a cake board in between the cakes before I marzipan them together? Sandra

Hi Sandra

Fruit cakes don’t normally need dowelling/ separator cards because they are so dense and can bear weight without collapsing. However I would dowel and use an separator card because it would be much easier for cutting and you won’t get great big tall slices if each cake sits on it’s own board. You can still marzipan and ice them together in the same way Paul iced the vintage pearl cake http://www.cakeflix.com/online-cake-decorating-courses/vintage-pearl-cake Hope this helps. x

Thank you. Be back soon 🙂 x
