   So the weight from the top tiers doesn’t cause the bottom layer to start flattening. Without these the cake may become lopsided or have other problems.

   It gives teh cake support so that when teh next tier is put on it won’t cruch into the lower tier. You would puc supports in each layer

   Thanks for the awesome vid!
   I was wondering if this technique is required for fondant cakes as well or could the bottom cakes “survive” without this?

   sorry this maybe stupid question….see when you put the center dowel, did you put a hole in the middle of all cardboard below the cake (i notice theres a cardboard on the cake) coz im not sure how to push the dowel right to the bottom without ruining the cake w/o a hole on the cardboard?

    You don’t have to leave the bases in between the tiers if you don’t want it. However, in this video it seems like she dose to help with stability, as well as the initial handling and stacking of the tiers.

    IMO, I would leave the bases there, but the initial decision is yours.

    The dowels are only in the bottom two tiers, which helps to keep the upper tiers from not only squishing the bottom ones, but also to help keep the ones above themselves steadier. The center dowel is the only one that goes through all three tiers, and is usually the stabalizer for the entire cake itself. So, whilst not all of the dowels are holding the cake togeather, on dowel is.

    Its because of the 2 top tiers weight. You dont want the bottom tier to smoosh. The center dowel is what keeps the whole structure together.

    it’s not that they’re joining the cakes together, it’s that they’re support systems. without supports in the two bootom layers, the weight on top would cause it to sag

    why do you need to put dowels into the individual cakes? they don’t seem to be joining the cake together.
