I have put supports for the bottom cake (as pictured in your tutorial) and put the next cake on top - I've ganached it all together ready for fondant. I'm now worried that when I transport it it will slide and crack.... should I look at inserting a rod straight down the middle of both cakes to be safe?

The bottom tier is an 8" round x 5" high torted and filled with a peanut butter frosting. A 6" round 4.5 " high cake will be going on top . the cake will be covered in fondant and decorated. It has to travel about 30min . ***question: do you think my cake is going to live? Or do I need to try and take it apart ( not totally sure if I can do that b/c the peanut butter frosting is pretty sticky and firm).

But it is only 5" tall so it is not super tall. This construction on the double barrel cake is mostly for cakes taller than 8" height. I have done cake 5" tall and they are fine. The worst is basically the heat and humidity, so make sure it is well chilled before stacking.Hope all goes right.
