I have a bride that really wants this cake but I cannot figure out what is separating it, Is a cake stand with the thick dividers or something that was probably just put together with something at hobby lobby? She really wants this exact cake so any help would be great! Also, if you do know what it is please let me know where I can purchase it

Any chance that the bride knows where she found the photo? Maybe you can track down the original baker to see if they have a different angle of the picture? Or if they'd be willing to share how it is separated.

I will definitely find out.. it is driving me crazy and I only have 24 days left until this cake is due so I need to find out quick

Looks like a center support tier stand:

If you look closely at the photo, you can see the edges of the stand plates sticking out about a half inch from below the cake tiers.

That is what I thought it was so I started looking up cake stands like that and couldn't find anything that I thought resembled it.. to me the platforms look kind of thick. the picture you sent is awesome and I think I might end up resorting to something like that.. I'm definitely out of time to order that one though considering it takes 2 weeks just to make

I'll be very curious to find out, but to me it just looks like there are pillars in there and each tier is on another plate.

so i found this and I know its not exactly what the picture is but i'm wondering if it will work.. please let me know what you think

I would say it has very short pillars between each tier and is set on seperate boards covered cream to match the cake. There is definatly a space between cake and board as there is light coming through from the other side it has just been shot from a clever angle

This reminds me of your picture. http://www.cleartouch.co.uk/product.php?r=8
This one shows the thickness 10 mm, just over 3/8"... http://www.cleartouch.co.uk/product_images/four-tier-cake-stand-large.jpg

Those are NICE! Too bad you gotta order them from the U.K.

This is really upsetting me! lol I have been looking for hours and for some reason everything that I find that would be perfect to use is from the UK!! Grrrr... doesn't the US make anything anymore?? lol I love the ones that were just posted, I wonder if they even ship to the US.

Okay, so say I decide to just buy the clear pillars and use regular board and cover it to match the cake.. the only stuff that is sold here is printed, does anyone know of anywhere I can go online and buy something to cover my boards? Also, I am not familiar with stacking a cake with pillars.. I would be afraid it would topple over, is there a trick?

Try looking for 3/8 inch instead of 8 mm

I agree with Kitagrl it is the center support stand and the picture has been taken from the floor and at an angel making the cake appear to be tilted...

I'm just not sure what I would do without you ladies thank you for all of your help!

I have looked everywhere for the center support stand and cannot seem to find it anywhere but the UK and the place I did find it at I don't think even ships it here would you happen to knwo where to buy one?
