Heart-Shaped Wedding Cake Stands? How To Tier?
Decorating By pottedmeatchunks Updated 17 Jun 2007 , 6:42am by dominique26
Hi everyone! I need help...I am making my first ever wedding cake in a few weeks. Its for a low income bride so I'm just charging cost of ingredients, well that and because its my first ever so who knows what I'll end up with haha. Anyways she has asked for heart shaped and I own the wilton 4 piece heart pan set BUT she also wants the sucker either on a cake stand such as this one 
or she would like the bottom 2 tiers stacked and the small top one on pillars, like this one
now the problem i've run into is that I can't find a good heart-shaped cake stand. bakingshop.com sells one here http://www.bakingshop.com/weddingcakes/heartstand.htm but the plates are all 1 inch wider than all my heart pans. Is this on purpose or do I want to put a 6 inch heart cake on a 6 inch separator plate? Does anyone have any ideas?? Oh yea and this wedding is 7 July so if I need to order something I need to do it quick. Please help!
ihave a heart shaped wedding cake in my pictures, just cut your own boards heart shaped and use the regular plates and pillars, just make sure the boards you cut are bigger then the plate so it over hangs the edges.
Thanks for the help guys! I was talking to a Wilton instructor at Michaels and she suggested the same just stick the hearts on round plates and make sure the plates are 2 inches smaller. So is using the 6 inch heart not going to work because no one sells 4 inch separator plates?
That's a lot to ask of you to buy all these plates and pans you'll need to accomodate a low-income bride.
There is a floating tier stand that has heart shaped plates, but the smallest plate is 8-inch.
I have a heart shaped wedding cake in my photos that is three tiers separated by columns. I used the Wilton heart shaped plates. They are fairly inexpensive and can be reused.
