A full tiering set: dowel rods, white supports, clear stacking dowels and five separator plates sized from 4 to 12 inch. The plates spread the load of an upper tier across the dowels below, which is the safer way to build anything above two tiers. Having both plates and loose rods also covers the two common methods — plate-supported and directly stacked — so you are not committed to one before the cake is designed. Sizes step in twos from 4 to 12 inch.

Care & Use
Match the plate to the tier above, not the one below. Cut all dowels in a tier to one measured length. Wash everything in warm soapy water after the event; plates warp if left against a hot surface, and a warped plate will not sit level.
