Its a 3 tier cake so there will be only 2 spaces of air space. The flowers are gergera daisies which are pretty wide and she also gave me a filler flower to go with it. I think the flowers in the space will be fine I just want to be sure that the cake will be stable with the GC9's.?

Well, are you planning to cut them? It will be stable, but it will look strange IMO unless you cut them down. You have more airspace than cake - like all those Wilton designs from the 80s.

I just have to say that I used the SPS for the first time last weekend and I LOVE IT! I will never use anything else. Thanks Leah for the instructions! See the cake in my photos - pearls and swirls.

oh I see what you mean now. So I will have 4 inches of cake so how much do you think i should cut off of the 9's? 2 in.?

Help! I'm trying to download the SPS instructions, but all I get is the "Forbidden" message, no matter whether I try to download directly, or open in a new window ir open in a new tab. I checked to make sure I'm logged in, just in case that was the problem, but still nothing. Any suggestions?

Actually, I think the system might be having troubles right now, as no photos are displaying and the new photos on the main page are the same ones as last night/early this morning. Once that's cleared up, I'll check again and see if I can download the instructions. Sorry for the bother!

This is what I get whenever I try to download ANY attachments from the forums! Help anyone!

I can't open the file, I just keep getting error reports.

I would love to see how this is done. If any anyone can e-mail me a copy? that would be great.

Thanks

Is there a website I can get this off of? I am thinking about using those push in pillars but they look so skinny at the base I'm afraid they won't be strong enough to support other tiers!

I would suggest that you PM or email LeahS and ask her to send it to you. I'm sure she has it in an electronic file.

I do, but I'm not on that computer right now. There are literally HUNDREDS of people on here with the file. Come on somebody - email her the file!

Email me too please! Thank you!

I never saved it. Looked at it once to see what to do before ordering. Bummer.

I found it and I'll try to send it to the folks who asked. Sorry for sending them to you, LeahS. I honestly don't remember saving it.

Would you mind sending the instructions to me as well? Thanks!!

I don't see a way to attach it to a CC email, so you will need to send me your email address in a PM. If you have already put your address in the thread, I don't need it again.

Hey everyone! Could someone please email the instruction too. I can not upload them.
Thanks,
Julie

Is it possble to PM it to me?

I have tried in vain so many times to download the SPS tutorial so kindly provided by Leahs. But I continue to get error messages, sometimes different ones, and just can not get the file.

Does anyone know of a way to get this thing, please??

Thanks in advance.

Probably a bug in the system....I'm sure it will go back to "normal" soon.

I've read leahs' SPS instructions and this entire thread. I think I understand everything now, except what leahs means when she refers to always using an "inside" border. What is meant by that? I understand that borders are needed to hide the cardboard and plastic on almost any cake, but I don't understand the "inside".

TIA

Inside where the tiers touch as opposed to outside on the outer edge of the tier.

Leah, do you have any suggestions on how to use the SPS method with MMF? I've never really worked with fondant but it seems like it'd be hard to push through the fondant unless it was just rolled out over the cake and still soft.

Thanks!

At first I couldn't get the instructions to download either but I noticed that in the address bar, part of the address is repeated. Once I deleted that it worked fine.

this is whats repeated: http://media.cakecentral.com


this is what the address should be:

oh yeah i did it right!!

this was the first time i posted a link

Thanks Veronica! That worked! I have been trying to download this tutorial for days! Thanks Leahs for posting it. Can't wait to try it.

How long does it take to arrive when you order?

I can't find the instructions on your link you posted?? I opened all links..can you walk me through your link please?

Thanks
jenifer

Thanks leahs for the instructions! Thanks veronica for posting a link that will open! I've been trying to open it for days and just chalked it up to a temporary system glitch and I was trying to ride it out. This is wonderful. Can't wait to order the system. I have a wedding in the Adirondacks of upstate NY that this will be perfect for. The reception is down a logging road....I'm sure it's paved and smooth Thank you, thank you, thank you for the information.

leahs,
You say you check for "levelness" on site. How do you fix the cake if it is NOT level at that point?
Thanks.
