<p>I tend to dismantle before cutting, but that's usually because I have different flavours on each tier and like to give people a choice. I also use a cake card under the top tier and stick it down with icing. Yes, you will slightly damage the tier underneath, but it's never really been that bad for me.</p>

<p>Theresa is right, Wendy. No way to avoid damage to the lower layer. I, too, cut the top layer then remove the cake board. If you prefer to separate the tiers to cut, it is easier to unstack if you use waxed paper between your cake board and the frosting of the lower tier - sequence from the top down: cake, cake board, waxed paper, cake. When removing, slide your lifter between the cake board and waxed paper. Makes removal a lot easier.</p>

<p>I just cut the top tier, serve it, then remove the cardboard and move on to the next tier. There's always damage to the layer below the cardboard. As long as it looks beautiful before you cut it, that's what counts.</p>
