When I first started doing cakes, I decided that I would try to make a stacked 2-tiered cake for a friend of ours child's birthday. It would be simple enough, I thought. I even did all the research and knew that I needed a couple of cake boards, and some dowel rods to hold the top layer up. I was all set. That is until the cake turned out like the Leaning (butterfly) Tower of Pisa.
Although the cake ended up turning out okay overall, I missed a pretty fundamental and basic step - making sure the cake was level...on every layer. So the very next cake I did for Bosses Day, I went straight out to purchase the
Cake Leveler. Before using this tool, leveling the cake took so much time and effort. Now its as easy as setting a dial and cutting a perfectly straight line.
Start by cutting the "dome" off of the cooled cakes.

Once the cake is level, it is so much easier to ice and decorate the cake.

So if you are interested in cake decorating - don't wait to purchase this tool. It is so affordable and saves so much time. And remember: when a cake is set up the right way from the bottom up, it doesn't matter what decorations you put on it, it will make you look like a pro!
