Wedding cakes today are big business and just keep on getting bigger and more ornamental year after year. 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 tiered 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.

To make a tiered cake you need three different sized cake tins - six, nine, and twelve inch ones are good choices. 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.

Take your tins and trace three circles out of cardboard. 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.

Now you can finish off any further decoration you want to do to the cakes. You can also decorate the stand itself, which should ideally match the colors of the wedding. That's it! Your new tiered wedding cake and stand is now ready for the big day.
