Pipe Flange Assembly Method

As I have received so many requests re the pipe flange assembly method I use, I thought I would make a collage of the steps I take! This inexpensive do-it-yourself method allows me to deliver my cakes fully assembled! When done correctly, and layers supported using traditional supports, this system has been fool-proof for me and I can literally drop off my cake and go! No more assembly-on-site! The cakes are simply threaded down onto the PVC pipe, ensuring no shifting during transit!

Adding: I use 1/2 foamboard cake boards under each cake for stability and extra tier height, and they are covered with press n' seal for food safety. Feel free to ask any further questions you have by PMing me! I'm happy to help!
