My husband and I attended a wedding held at a jazz club. The wedding cake was 5 tiers but it look the cakes were floating in the air.
what type of cake stand do you use?

I'll give you a bump for that one! Had to have been something clear.



No I did not get a picture. I will try to get the couple's website so you can look at it.

Were they they stacked up straight or off to the sides from each other?

Here's a way to make a cake "float" - it looks light as air, but underneath it all is a solid steel rod and steel base cake stand that we designed and had welded for us.
It holds a tremendous amount, but since we were draped the steel components with SugarVeil 'fabric', it looks as if it floats.
Granted, not the easiest solution, but the cake stand we'll use forever. Plus, it was the talk of the art opening - people stood on their heads trying to figure out how we did it.

something like these maybe, a swan stand? http://www.google.co.uk/images?q=swan%20stand&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-GBfficial&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&source=og&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wi
if dont cleverly can be really effective.

Would love to see a picture of the cake you are talking about!
Sounds very interesting.

That's a great cake Emily!! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks all - it was a fun cake to do. I felt like a decorator (interior) going to the venue with yards of SugarVeil rolled up in like wallpaper to decorate and drape the cake on site.
Here's a bit better picture. When you do this cake (and the swan stand that brincess linked to looks like an accessible stand to use), be sure to wrap the SugarVeil 'fabric' under the cake/metal stand, too. That way it actually appears to float (even to the people who are looking for hints underneath). And disguise the metal supporting stem by wrapping the SugarVeil fabric length around it, too.

OMG, I just have to say I love that sugar veil fabric. It is awesome. It must have taken forever to make that much.
Thanks for the photo. It is inspirational.
