Has anyone here used the Wilton Spiral Cake Separator set? I used it on a Wedding cake yesterday and I was sooooooo nervous! I didn't feel that it gave much support at all! If anyone bumped the table the top tier would wobble. I was freaking out so bad. Has anyone else had this kind of an experience? I'm attaching a picture of the cake. I didn't think the sizes were off to make it wobble so much do you?
Also, don't even look at the frosting on this cake... I haven't yet mastered butter cream 
Thanks

I used one of the spiral separators on a much smaller cake this afternoon (picture in my photos) and it was pretty wobbly. Every time someone walked by the top tier would wobble. I would use it again for the top tier (like I did today) but I wouldn't use it the way you did. Especially not at the bottom! I would have been a nervous wreck, too!

Actually, the bottom was very stable. It didn't wobble from the bottom. It was all at the top. I would definitely use it on the bottom again but as for the top I think maybe for just one small cake. I mean, it wasn't terrible. The cake was fine and everyone loved it. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't something that I did wrong that made it wobble.
Buttercream tip... after it starts to crust over you can use parchment paper and a spatula to smooth the icing more.
Your cake looks great. I am sorry you had such a time with the stand. I have not tried them but it is a good heads up if it comes up.

I tried that but it didn't work for me. I need a lot more practice with it 
Dont stress it looks great. You just need to find what works for you. The Melvira method is one, or the Viva method, or a warm spatula. Try them each till you find what works for you. It seems like everyone prefers something different.
I just bought this set of separators..was this a waste of money? Are they unstable to use?
I don't think it's a waste of money. I think my cake would have been more stable on top if I had used more dowels or even larger ones. I will use mine again.
So don't worry and enjoy them
