The Square Tier Ruler — Cake Centering & Dowel Placement Tool for Square Tiered Cakes

Precise Square Tier Centering and Dowel Marking — No Guesswork, No Measuring Tape

Square cakes bring their own stacking challenges — corners have to line up just as precisely as the center. The Square Tier Ruler takes the guesswork out of centering square tiers and placing dowels, so every layer sits straight and stays structurally sound.

This 14-inch clear acrylic board is marked at every inch increment with a perimeter of small holes. Simply place it on a bottom tier, and use a toothpick or bamboo skewer to mark an indent in your icing or fondant for your top tier and dowel placement. It also has a center hole, so you can mark the exact center of any cake board, drum, or base in under a second.

Whether you're stacking a two-tier cake or a multi-tier square wedding design, the Square Tier Ruler gives you the same precision professional bakers rely on — built specifically for square tiers.
