Cake Stackers - Page 4

thanks, I've got it now and got all my questions pretty well figured out. The system is awesome I really love it. The cake stand takes a lot of stress out of the picture. Especially right now it has been over 100 degrees here for the past few weeks with 99% humidity. I would not want to put a wedding cake together using any other method in this weather! I've used the fondant ribbon cutter more than I thought I would, the ability to use it as an extra large turntable is nice and I have set it up in a lot of different configurations. Can't wait until it cools down enough here for me to feel like doing some dummy cakes and really playing with all the designs I can do with this.

Oh my gosh, I am so sorry you had two cakes collapse! I cannot imagine... I would be so devastated. I had two "almost disasters" which is when I decided the same thing, it's about my reputation and my business. I think if you want your business to be on solid ground your cakes need to be on a solid support system!

Congrats! Hope you like it as well as I like mine! Excuse to use it before October.....hmmmm I am sure something will come up. If nothing else make a dummy cake and play with the stand configurations.

Drilling Dummy Cakes:
use corded high rpm drill (not cordless)
5/8 bit for center column
3/8 bit for support legs

HAVE FUN!!! SHARE SOME PICS!
I drilled a dummy cake and then have been too busy to decorate the dummy cake. Soon though, soon. Perhaps in this hot, hot July when biz is slow.If I don't camp out in a sprinkler or pool somewhere!

I just ordered this system this morning! I did a search for it on here and found this thread, so I am putting my two cents in.

After I saw it about a few days ago, I knew I had to get it! I have NEVER had a cake disaster before except for one time where I was able to start all over again on a no pay cake for a friend. I always read about cake disasters on here and I always have that little fear in my head each time I make a cake if this might be the time I have my cake disaster.

I decided to quit while I'm ahead and buy cake stackers to set my mind at ease. As soon as it gets here I am going to be trying all kinds of things! I can't wait! I love that I can use them is so many different ways including the upside down cake! Oh the stress-free fun I'll have! And no more trimming dowels! I've used SPS too, and would again too, but cake stackers will allow me to make a lot of other things too!

I am doing a cake on mine this weekend and am super thankful I have it. We are back up toward the 100 degree mark here again! I would be so stressed ifI was doing cakes without it right now.

My friend (who has a cake shop) had an "almost disaster in this heat. The venue where the cake was has the air conditioning go out after she delivered/ before the reception the hall called her because the cake was beginning to lean. She was afraid it would fall before she could even get there to do damage control, luckily it did not fall. She got there and tried to shove extra support in without disassembling the cake. She about had a nervous breakdown after that.

It's those days that make the expense of this thing look minor, I have three upcoming cakes going out on HOT HOT days in the height of the afternoon steam bath, (given I am taking plenty of precautions in the heat) but I am not overly worried about it since I know the support system is rock solid.

Let me throw an idea to you gals (and guys) concenrning cake stackers and deposit fee...

How about if I don't ask for a deposit fee, but instead I charge say $20.-- dlls to go back to the venue (chef's coat attire) and disassemble the cake just after the cutting of the cake ritual, and leave the cake to be cut by the venue's staff. Just disassemble the cake, take my stuff and leave...
That way you don't risk loosing small pieces...
