Tiered cakes are multi-layered cakes that are stacked on top of each other, often used for special occasions like weddings and birthdays. Each layer can be different in flavor, size, and design, allowing for creativity and personalization. The layers are typically supported by dowels or pillars to ensure stability. These cakes are often decorated with frosting, fondant, or other embellishments, making them visually striking. Bakers can create various themes and styles, from elegant and classic to fun and whimsical, catering to the preferences of the celebrants and the overall event.
