I've been looking to purchase this stand for awhile, but I can't seem to figure out if the 3 stands are connected to each other and cannot be separated? I was hoping you could just use one stand for one cake. Does anyone who own this stand let me know if they can be separated and used separately?

Looking at the photo so you can understand which one I am talking about..... The tall one on the left stands on its own 4 tall legs that screw in.  The other 2, the taller of the 2 has a leg that screws into the shorter holder. I have 2 of these stand and I love them!!! I think you will be happy with it.

AIt sounds like they are connected, according to one of the reviews on Amazon: "Iwas surprised when I got the order. First of all, I couldn't tell from the illusion of a picture if the three tiers were together or separate. THEY ARE TOGETHER. AS IN CONNECTED TO EACH OTHER. Each tier fits into holes in the next and they form a stationary three-tiered set. The clear stand is plastic, not glass."

AI have one they are all connected

AYep.. Have one at home, and they are connected :)

Darn, that sucks. Thanks everyone!

AMaybe try this one instead: http://www.webstaurantstore.com/wilton-307-352-three-tier-scroll-cake-and-treat-display-set-15-pieces-set/143307352.html
