my mother has offered to make my wedding cake and my partner and i have decided we would like a 3 tiered chocolate mud cake with royal icing, my mum says thats fine but she is worried about the cake collapsing with the weight. is there anyway you can prevent this from happening???

You have to support the tiers with dowel rods
because if you stack them all on top of each other
it will be one big mud slide
Go to a cake shop and explain what your mother will be making
and they will tell you what you need
or go to wilton.com and look under wedding cakes
I hope this helps

PLEASE!!! Do not let her stack the cake with out support in it!!! With all that wait it will fall with the royal icing and chocolate you are better off to buy the plastic dowels or semi-large wooden ones. She just needes to ice the cake then measure the height of the teir to cut the dowel. then insert for how many you need then stack. and do not stack the cake until you get to the final table it is going to sit at!

Buy cake boards that are exactly the size of your cake then you can stack them on top of each other easily. Remember to ice over the edge of the board so it looks seamless. THe boards distribute the weight of the cakes evenly so that you shouldn't have any issues.
