Let me see if I can get this picture from my head to make sense. I'm going to do one and use wedges between the tiers and opposite wedges under the cake so each cake will actually be sitting flat on a wedge that's firmly attached to the board. The cakes will have to be carved to make them look like they're sitting tilted but I'll have peace of mind knowing they are flat and level and won't end up on funniest home videos or cake wrecks ;o}

: Have any of you done the buttercream icedm, tilted cakes like Ron Ben Israel and Sylvia Weinstock....not the ones where you carve holes in the tier below and cut the cakes at angles, but the ones where the cake boards sit at angles on wedges of styrofoam and the spaces between are filled with flowers.

What keeps the cakes from sliding off their base boards? Anyone done these? What's the secret?
