Dowels and pillars
Making a tiered cake, for example, for a wedding, might seem more challenging than it actually is. With the help of cake dowels and pillars, you too can create a perfect tiered cake that looks very professional. A tiered cake is essentially just a cake consisting of multiple individual cakes. Instead of baking one single cake as you normally would, you might bake three in different sizes, for example. These cakes can then be stacked on top of each other to create a tiered cake. Cake dowels and pillars are essential for this. At Baktotaal, you'll find various types of cake dowels and pillars to create professionally looking tiered cakes. Take a look at our wide assortment and discover the possibilities with cake dowels and pillars.
Dowel rods for reinforcement
Cake dowels, also known as dowel rods, can be made from various materials such as wood, bamboo, and plastic. They come in different diameters and lengths, depending on their intended use. Dowel rods can be inserted into multiple cake layers to provide them with extra support. Cake dowels can easily be cut to size so that you don't have to worry about them protruding above the cake. Why should you use cake dowels? When stacking multiple cakes on top of each other, there's a risk of them shifting, especially if the cakes aren't perfectly level. It would be a shame if the top cake layer, often beautifully decorated, were to slide off and perhaps even end up on the floor. By using cake dowels, you can ensure that your tiered cake stays securely together.
Cake pillars for a floating effect
In addition to directly stacking the cakes on top of each other, you can also choose to suspend the cakes with some space between them. This creates a sort of floating effect. All you need for this are cake pillars and cake boards or cake drums. Cake boards and cake drums are placed under each cake and serve as a sturdy base. Cake boards are typically three to four millimeters thick, while cake drums, with a thickness of 10 millimeters, are much sturdier. The latter are particularly suitable for larger and heavier cakes. Cake pillars, like dowels, are available in various versions, not only in terms of size or length but also in terms of color. Unlike dowels, pillars are visible. By placing the pillars between the different cakes, it looks as if the top cakes are floating in the air. This allows you to create a beautiful floating tiered cake in no time!
