Ever since I had a horrible disaster last year, I've been using SPS, thanks to Leahs! It is so 'idiot proof' (even for me!) that I can confidently transport cakes long distances away without having to worry about them sliding or collapsing. As long as you follow Leahs instructions to the letter, you'll be fine.

It's really great. I like it very much.
Thanks for the feedback. That is very useful.

On the sps printout it looks like you use cardboard also? In a couple of weeks I am doing an anniversary cake. It will be 14 in square on the bottom. (4 in) high and 9 in circle on top (4in high). I am wanting to use the sps for this to make sure it doesnt move! I was going assemble at the party but I need some helpful input!! Thanks so much!! Do I put a sps on the bottom tier?

You have to use the cardboard so that you can pick up the cake and move it onto the SPS plate. Otherwise you'd have to put your hand under the cake itself - not a good idea.

I don't understand your final question. The SPS plate and leg assembly goes into the bottom square tier and will hold up the 9" round tier.

Thanks Leah you answered my question. So would you suggest I get just a 9" round to stick down in the 14" square? Would the pegs just rest on the bottom tier cardboard? Thanks so Much! YOu can email me at valerie@css-tn.com

Yes, you purchase the same size plate as the cake. In your example, 9". The legs or columns (not pegs) rest on the bottom board or cake drum.

Since very few local stores carry this system, be sure to order in advance.

And just for the record, SPS is the brand name product from Bakerycrafts. It's not a generic name that refers to just any old single plate system. SPS works!

Leah_s, I am Canadian and on the second page of this forum someone mentioned an online store for Canadians. I almost ordered then I thought....do these look right? These pegs look a lot smaller around then the ones at Global Sugar Art. I will attach the link so you can look at it and let me know what you think. Also the separator plates are all scalloped. I want it to be unseen.
What do you think?

ACK!! Those are Wilton plate pegs and are completely useless. Also Wilton makes the scalloped edge plates.

BakryCrafts is the manufacturer. Lots of times the inventory number will begin with "BC

Step away from the Wilton stuff, Kerry_Kake.

Kerry_Kake - I purchased SPS from L & M Bakery Supply in Toronto (the link on page 2). They have a minimum order so I purchased more than I needed but I am so glad I did. I made my first wedding cake, a 3 tier, and using the system was so easy and made the cake solid. I will never fear another tiered cake using this system.

cherrycakes, I'm confused....when I type in L & M Bakery Supply on google it comes up but you can't order anything unless you click on the link that goes to www.homeprobakerssupplies.com and that is the link I posted that Leah is telling us to stay away from.
Do you use that anyway? It just has little pegs and not the legs. Confused

Try giving them a call - 1-800-465-7361. Apparently they don't give out catalogues to individuals but I received one when I got my SPS. I initially contacted them through email but then I dealt with one person (I think Marilyn) who helped me with my order. We did have to make a few calls back and forth but keep trying if that happens.

And no, definitely do not use the one with the little pegs - I think that goes with the Wilton set and the SPS is much much better.

Try the second one - that's how it worked for me.

Will it work for a cake that is a combination of stacked and tier? How would you do that?

And have you tried it for cakes less than 4 inches? Do you just cut the legs up like when using the 9 inch legs?
