Make a recessed "box" to separate tiers on a wedding cake?

I have seen pictures of wedding cake tiers that are separated by what looks like a covered box. The box is smaller than the tier above it so it looks "recessed". Is this just a cardboard collar covered in paper or fondant and wrapped around pillars used with separator plates? Or is there some other product being used for this? I have a client who brought me a picture of the wedding cake she wants and I'm just not sure how to do the "box" separating the tiers.

If you have a picture, you should post it. Then we can see what you mean and help you a bit more. It's hard to visualize just exactly what you are needing.

I tried, but Cake Central is holding my post since I'm new a member.

Could it be that it's just a covered cake dummy being used as a separator ? xx

Yes, it could be. Maybe a support dowel thru the cake above and the 'dummy' cake below would keep it stable enough?

Yes, it is big! I don't have or have never used a central support system, and don't really want to buy one just for one cake, but you're right - it looks like that's what they probably used.
