Hi all. I was wondering if any of you have used a glass cake drum to act as the main base for a wedding cake. I'm thinking of using a glass base (3 of them each bigger than the other) for a wedding cake I'm gonna be doing next month. But I don't know where to find such a thing, and I have no clue how to have something like that made. I was thinking that maybe the glass can be purchased from a store or supplier and then have it custom cut. But I've never done anything like that before so I really don't have any clue what to do or where to go. If anyone has any ideas on my best course of action it would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Are you meaning one base for a tiered cake? I'm picturing 3 different glass plates in increasing sizes. You could check with any glass replacement shops or look for platters that you could stack. With it being the holiday season, I'm sure you could find some with pretty edges or even patterns within the glass

Actually, I was thinking something like this:

I really like the look so I was hoping to do something like that.

You're very welcome.

I am no professional or expert or anything...but looking at that picture they look like round mirrors...home depot, lowes, michaels maybe? just a thought

Hope your comes out fantasticake!!!!

Glass scares me. I have used acrylic. It's clear and looks like glass, but so much stronger (virtually unbreakable) & safer (I use ones 4-5mm thick).

These cakes involve acrylic plates:

looks to me like the base is 3 graduated sized mirrors and the top cake is sitting on an acrylic cake plate!
