step by step
Method
- Step 1
Insert the central dowel
- Take the bottom tier of the cake.
- Push the wooden dowel straight down into the centre of the bottom tier.
- Step 2
Add the boba straw supports
- Insert boba straws around the central dowel, spacing them evenly.
- Use more straws for a heavier top tier and fewer for a lighter one.
- Step 3
Mark and cut the straws
- Wiggle each straw slightly so the buttercream marks the height of the bottom tier.
- Cut each straw at the mark.
- Step 4
Push the straws down
- Push each cut piece of straw all the way down to the bottom of the cake.
- Step 5
Add buttercream on top
- Spread a little buttercream on top of the bottom tier to help the top tier stick.
- Step 6
Place the top tier
- Flip the top tier onto your hand.
- Remove the supporting cake board used while frosting.
- Place the top tier on the bottom tier, making sure it is centred.
- Step 7
Seamless finish
- Take a little buttercream on your finger.
- Smooth it around the join between the two tiers to achieve a seamless look.
