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?

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!
Reply:You might be better off to have the cake made.





You can buy the supplies at just about any party shop.





Wal-Mart also sells the stuff for a wedding cake.





The rods will make it more sturdy.





Yes you need the separator over and under if you don't use it the cake will collapse.
