You will need... -2 or 3 cakes which you have levelled, filled, crumb coated, final coated and chilled for an hour or so (I did 6, 8 and 10) -Biggest tier, iced directly onto a cake drum -Smaller tiers, iced directly onto thin, hole-punched cake boards of the same diameter and then stuck on (with buttercream) to slightly bigger cake drum, for easy carrying -Buttercream in the same colour as your tiers -Royal icing, made fairly stiff consistency -long thin and thick plastic or wooden dowels/supports/pillars/thick straws -secateurs or very strong scissors sharp knife or hole-punch for...er...hole punching -greaseproof paper and scissors - palette knife -soft round paint brush -paper towel -piping bags -white chocolate (coloured if you like) for dripping

MADEIRA CAKE - (if you want to make a 6-8-10 cake like I did, use the same measurements for the 8, then double up to make a 6 and 10 from the same batch)
BUTTERCREAM - (Make 4-5 times the amount to fill, crumb coat and decorate a 3-tier cake of this size)
