When stacking tiers, it is advisable to stack them at home instead of at the venue. This allows for less room for mistakes and better management of any unforeseen issues. Additionally, it is recommended to align the ugliest sides of each tier at the back of the cake if the designs were piped before assembly. Decorating the tiers before stacking them can also save time and ensure a pristine condition. Finally, piping extra frosting around the base of each tier can hide the seams and hold the layers in place.
