Make a Multi-Layer Cake with a Cake Stand

Wedding cake stands are the secret to a well-supported multi-tier cake. They help create a sturdy base for your masterpiece, add height and drama while also creating more possibilities to help you with your cake presentation. Cake stands can make even the simplest cake designs stand out, adding the illusion of height and dimension to your cake.

When shopping for a cake stand, always choose one that is at least the same size or bigger than your cake's bottom tier. Follow the size of your cake board or go a step bigger if you want to add depth or include some additional decor around the bottom tier of the cake. The small ledge that space creates will cradle small embellishments perfectly. Never use a cake stand that is even a millimetre smaller than your cake or cake board to ensure stability and safety. Additionally, choose a stand that is completely flat so that the cake will be supported properly, dips and bumps in the top plate of the stand can cause your masterpiece to sag or be deformed, ruining your design.

Cake stands are made out of durable materials and can withstand and support the weight of large cakes. Depending on the construction of the unit, they can even support weights up to 200 pounds or more. Always choose a cake stand colour that is appropriate for the occasion and the cake motif itself. Choose colours, patterns, and designs that accentuate the features of your cake or follows the motif of your venue. Your choice of cake stand can add great value to your cake design and allow your cake to pop out, especially when you intend it to be a centrepiece. Lastly, think of your cake stand as an integral part of your overall cake design for added effect.
