Im not all together sure what to use for a cake base? I dont have money or space for many different ones for different cakes? is there an easy way to do this? any tips or advice?

Just buy disposable ones. I get mine at the local cake supply store
some grocery stores will sell you some. Publix will sometimes, depends on whose working.

are you talking about the cardboard circles or squares?

you can use anything...a pretty vase or a pretty bowl...a fish bowl...put a sturdy cup and pretty plate...i have used my cake pans...i put a vase for the pillar and set the next size cake pan on top of that...covered in a pretty fabric or paper...and voila!!! i hope this helps!!!! i have also used upside down margarita glasses and just set the cake on top of those!!!

Very nice, I love the creativity in it. Thank you. I guess ill just use what i have lying around instead of worrying about having to buy things

lol I thought you were talking about the boards. NM
