Having a traditional, stacked wedding cake wasn't an option due to budget. I've ordered three cakes an 8 inch, 10 inch, and 12 inch. I'm debating stacking them myself, or just displaying them separately cake stands I already own.
My preference is to stack them. How hard is it? I've read some instructions online, but wanted to hear other's experiences. They're coming on cake rounds, so it's a matter of putting dowels in cakes and stacking them, right? I was going to put ribbon along the bottom to cover the gap. Or am I setting myself up for failure?
