Q: Would you use this project for wedding cake stand?
My grandmother has fine wedding china, and I was considering using them for this cake stand idea,

http://www.stylemepretty.com/2008/06/03/cake-stands/

Do you think this could be sturdy enough for a small 1-tier wedding cake? I was going to do 3 mini cakes (each enough for 12 servings) and sit them on these plates. Have you tried this? Did it work?

A: The problem is that the pieces need to be attached with epoxy, thus probably ruining the pieces for use separately afterwards.
Might be a better idea to pick up inexpensive pieces at a thrift store, etc. and then do them.

Q: HELP ME PLEASE! Do columned wedding cakes have a separator plate over and under each cake?
Does a plastic plate rest on the center then columns go up into another separator plate and they all balance on the way the columns insert into each other?

Is the rods that go through the cakes better and more sturdy?

Where is the cheapest place to get these tiered wedding cake stands?

A: Yes, you can use pillars with a plate on top and bottom for support, but then you have to support the plate that is on top of the cake also or it will squish and/or eventually collapse. You can also go with a much easier method of push in pillars; then you only need one plate on top to hold the next cake up. Check your local craft store, we have Michaels, Ben Franklins or even Wal mart has some cake supplies. Good Luck! I did Wedding Cakes for 15 years, and its not always a piece of Cake!

Q: Will a round 3 tier cascading cake stand hold up square cakes? Or will it topple?
I want to order square wedding cakes and purchase a cake stand to put them on. Will the cascading ones from Michaels hold up these square cakes?

A: Most cake stands are rated by weight, the stand doesn’t care what shape your cake is so long as none of the cake extends over the side of the stand and the weight can be reasonably well centered. So long as none of the cake hangs over the edges and the cake is centered you should be more concerned with weight than shape.

Q: looking for a cup cake stand 7 tier for my wedding , rather short of money so a cheap one?
preferable in the aberdeenshire area , could hire them 2, wedding april 2007, to hold 100-160 cupcakes

A: they are not to hard to make yourself, believe me I have been a cake decorator for 30 years, and I have made plenty of them myself

Q: Ever been to a wedding with a two-tier cake?
I’ve always assumed that I would have a three-tier wedding cake. That’s the size of most of the cakes in the pictures you see in wedding magazines and on theKnot. It seems like the standard size….some people go bigger, but 3 tier is about as small as they get for a tiered cake….

As it turns out, though, for budget reasons I’m having a cake that is the only tiered cake that can possibly be smaller than a 3-tier…a two-tier. I’m really nervous — will it look okay? We got a nice cake stand to put it on so that it will be a little taller (but not too tall…otherwise it would look even smaller!) but I’m still nervous about whether it will look okay.

Any advice? Have you seen two-tiered cakes? Did they look too small?

A: My niece was on an extremely tight budget and had a two-tiered cake. They did have a tiny piece on top that I didn’t consider a tier because they took it off and gave it to the bride & groom. The other tiers were much bigger and used those for cutting and serving to the guests. I thought the 2-tier was really pretty.

Q: Has anyone made the red velvet cake into a large(14″ ) tier for a wedding cake?
The bride wants a red velvet cake and I;m not sure if it will hold up as the bottom tier of a stacked(5 tier) cake. I really don’t want to do a practice cake of this size, so if anyone has ever done it and if there were any changes that needed to be made to the batter to make it stand up to the pressure of the other tiers …please let me know.

A: You can use dowel rods, 6 or 8, placed in a circular pattern.
Place them so that they will be able to support the upper layer. The cake, which will be on a cake board or cake plate, will actually be sitting on the dowel rods. Make sure all the dowel rods are exactly the same height. This process should be repeated for all the layers. This will support the cakes and also make them level. Dowel rods can be purchased at a craft store or through Wilton.

A: start calling local bakers party and supply stores you may also find a welder in your area willing to make one

Q: Single-tier Wedding Cakes?
I am having a small (around 65 guests) casual wedding and we’d rather not spend a ton of money on cake that no one is going to eat. We found a bakery that will do a large, beautifully decorated single tier for around $90, enough to serve everyone. We are going to have it sitting on an elevated cake stand for a “fancier” look. But I just wanted to see if anyone has done this at their wedding before, what did the guests think, was it cost-effective, and also how do you decorate a single tier without overwhelming the cake or looking too plain?
Thanks for everyone’s help, the pics really gave me some good ideas! I have checked into the small, two-tier idea but we really don’t care about having the top cake for our anniversary. Reason being, we are dead-set on a tres leches cake and in my experience, they do not freeze well.

A: My fiance’s uncle used to work for Byerly’s bakery so he plans on making our cake for our wedding. We believe that the cake is one of the things that takes a much bigger priority than it should. We are having a small tier cake and sheet cake for actual eating. Since your wedding is small, you could definitely do just the small tier cake.
Anyway his uncle taught us his secret: he is putting maybe one or two tiers of actual cake and a few tiers made out of cardboard underneath. Any professional should know how to do this.
I have asked around and many people don’t even care or remember what a cake looked like at a wedding. Don’t worry, save money for things like your honeymoon!

Q: Wedding cake Sponge and stand question?
I am doing a wedding cake for a family member and im having it 3 tier, i have seen the 3 different sizes of already iced sponges i want, but can i stick one on top of the other, or do i need a stand?? will it sink in? or do you think it can hold the weight, because on the pictures they all look like the layers are balancing on each other

A: I think it will be too heavy to have a 3 tier cake without something to support it. Go to a local bakery where they decorate wedding cakes, or somewhere you know that sells a comprehensive selection of cake decoration supplies (usually a large bakery will have such a section. There are plastic rounds you can buy, the size of your cake that you can lay on top of the cake before you add a layer, they will help to hold the weight. They’re inexpensive and you ice right over them. If you are able to find one at a bakery, someone will be there to help with advice as well.

Good luck!

Q: cake stand?
Hi,
I’m looking for a wedding cake stand. Our daughter is having cupcakes with a solid cake on top for cutting. I have seen a casa domani 4 tier stand on ebay (missed out on it), but can’t find one anywhere to purchase. We liked this one because it was “Chantilly Lace” pattern, however are interested in anything that may be similar. We can’t find more than 3 tiers of any ceramic type at the moment, and they just aren’t big enough. We are in Sydney and would love some feedback! Thanks.

A: Try looking at kitchen shops. House, David Jones, Myer etc may have nice cake stands. I would just look around. In the mean time, keep checking ebay.
This one finishes REALLY soon so have a look:

Q: Making my own wedding cake?
Ok, so I can cook/bake/make almost anything (as long as I have directions on some things). Well there probably will only be around 50 guests at our wedding (very small, but at lot of people can’t come bc they are out of state). I figured I could make my own wedding cake. Here’s my idea. I’m buying a 3 tier cake stand (the plates are different diameters, bottom one biggest, top one smallest). Well I’m wanting to make a 3 layer cheesecake for each tier. They are all going to be chocolate cheesecake and decorated with pink sprinkle sugar stuff and the top one the topper will be on w/a couple of pink lilies on it, and the bottom 2 tiers will just have pink lilies on them. It’s looking good in my head, but just wanting some people’s opinions on it. Any suggestons will be helpful. I’m doing them choc w/pink decor bc my colors are choc. brown & pink. I’m pretty confifent in my cooking abilities though.Thanks!
oh great idea about the ribbon! I’m going to do that too! =) (Oh and I will have plenty of time to make it, like I said its going to be a small wedding).
Oh and I’m going to have a practice run next month with my idea, just incase so I have plenty of time to order one, lol!

A: That sounds so good! Yes, and you can even maybe get your Mother-In-Law to be to help you! Good Luck!

Q: Is it possible to make a chocolate wedding cake with blueberry syrupy filling and ganache icing?
I want to make my sister’s wedding cake and in one of my practice cakes I did a chocolate cake with a blueberry filling and chocolate ganache icing that was really tasty. If I try to make this a tiered cake will the ganache and syrup be to soggy to keep the cake standing?

A: As long as you have a good, solid support you should be okay. Be careful of overflows of filling when stacking. Also put some foil, parchment paper, something under the rims of the cakes when you do the ganache, that way you can remove it, leaving you a clean finish. Good Luck.

Q: Need to rent (or buy) 8 separate tiered cake stand. Ideas?
My wedding is in March and I want to have 8 separate round/square cakes, different sizes and heights. I’ve looked online but am hesitant to buy that way because I’m not sure of the quality. I don’t want my wedding cake sitting on cheap plastic stands. I’d prefer to rent but am willing to buy if the price isn’t outrageous. Any ideas?

A: Hi and congratulations!

I do believe that to buy nice quality cake stands, you would be paying quite a bit.

Another idea. Have you thought of just purchasing square/round clear glass plates and then just displaying them at different heights?

You can do this rather easily if you are creative with draping tablecloths, etc. over different “height” objects. It’s hard to describe what I mean, so here is a picture:

http://www.firstimpressionscatering.net/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/P1010398.JPG

As you can see….if you make some of the heights different by stacking books/boxes, etc., and then covering them with a tablecloth….you might achieve the look you are after.

You can buy nice inexpensive plates at thrift stores.

Q: how do i have 3 tier sponge cake?

A: You can have any type of cake you want .You can get a tier fastener from cake decoration shops that will hold it together down through the centre, or they might suggest something better.Ask an expert.
