: I have been asked to make a wedding cake for a friend in a few weeks. It'll be my first. It is a three heart shaped, stacked construction design. I need a crash course on this type of construction (dowel rodding, etc.).

They aren't doing you any favors with an odd shape like that!
Is each level going on round or heart shaped boards?, I'd opt for round unless you want a crash course in woodworking adding to the project.
After each level is iced and on its board stick 1/4 inch dowel in a cake and mark the height, cut and wrap with tin foil, use 4 for each cake.
If she wants separation tiers...with columns?
Can you talk her into a heart shaped base with the other 2 round?
makes it a bit easier. Do you have heart shape molds? it would help with crumb problems when icing.
