I just love this cake..and have wanted to do it so badly but i didn't know how to even start. I so appreciate you sharing your expertise. Your cakes are lovely.

Thanks everyone. I'm glad to see that people can still find this thread

I am glad to find these too! What is that stand called?

If you search for "clear acrylic cake stand" on ebay, a ton of matches in different combos will pop up.

FYI--I am making this cake this weekend and instead of buying a whole set of stands, had my local cake shop order the three pieces I needed...10" & 6" plates and a 15" tube...only cost $24! Much better deal.

Thank you for taking the time to share your instructions. Your cake is stunning!!!

how much do these types of cakes go for?

I totally love this type of cake and yours is just beautiful. Thanks for taking the time to type out all of those instructions!

I want to add my thanks also. You are talented.

I made one of these in early march. people really ooh and aah over the construction / illusion of it. my husband and i actually made our own "stand"...we went to home depot, cut a piece of 1/2 thick mdf for the base. screwed a 1" floor flange (plumbing) to the base, twisted in a 1" steel pipe (you choose your height) and then for the top cake, do the same, but in reverse so that there is something for the top of the pipe to screw in to. we washed the hardware in the dishwasher first , then covered it in plastic wrap before putting the cake together. mine was a five tier, and including the boards, this was less than $15 for the stand construction, you do need to have tools available though.

to make the holes, i used parchment paper, folded in fourths to find the center over the cakes, then used a baking core (exactly one inch just like the pipe and cut the center of the cake out. for the flowers on the top, i used a tall, thin vase that i bought at walmart for $1.

it really is a pretty cool style for cake

Ok, so let me get this straight... sorry if this has already been asked, didn't see the queston but... So the stems of the flowers are actually on the ouside of the tube, glued onto cardboard? am I reading that right?



The cake is fantastic and it's funny cause I was just thinking and getting ready to resaerch how to do this style cake...

wow....

The cake is marvellous! Thank you for the instructions.
