Hi everyone.

A bride wants me to replicate something like this..Can anyone help me figure out how to do the separators?Is this something that I can buy or will I have to create these separators? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!icon_smile.gif

To me it looks like the plate and pillar tiers with the beaded "curtains" attached around the outside of the plates.  I don't know where you would get the beads.

Beads can be purchased at any good fabric store that caters to brides.  What I can't understand is the see through separators in between each cake.  The cake is so tall that you'd need a clear central support or stabilizer for sure.

If you used the square Acrylic Separators, you could use a hot knife with a needle-like attachment to bore a little strip of holes along the edge, then wire the beads through them. A LOT OF WORK!!! So charge accordingly! There is actually one for sale on the Cincinnati Craigslist. Search Mirabelle Cakery cake stand, and it should come up. 

I would rather make 1 cake for $150, than 3 for $50 each.

The person who works for nothing will always have plenty to do!

I made a cake with separators similar to this a while back.  I used the white Wilton columns and separator plates.  I glued by beading to the underside of the separator plate and just made sure each line of beads was the same length (same number of beads).  For blingy beads I would recommend beadandtrim.com, although they can be expensive.

 

Here is a pic of the cake I did:

Wow, cuppadeecakes, how the heck do you get a cake that low to the ground and back up again without breaking your back?
