I have been asked to use Crystal-look Spiked Pillars on a wedding cake for the top tier (the bottom will be stacked using SPS) and I just can't believe that these pillars are sturdy enough for a cake (it will be an 8"). Has anyone used them and do they work better than I am imagining them to work? Thanks!!

I had your same concern the first time I used them. But they are surprisingly sturdy. Your top tier will be just fine. Here's one of the cakes I used them in. http://www.cakecentral.com/cake-photo_1459818.html

i haven't used those ones but i have used some similar and i thought the same thing but it turned out to be just fine i delivered the cake unstacked and then stacked it at the venue. hope this helps

I have used them and find them surprisingly sturdy too. They lock into the clear plate tightly and stand firm....Your cake sould be fine....post pictures.

I prefer to use push in pillars. They are more stable than the old fashioned kind with 2 separater plates. I have the acrilic pillars with the twist and they are so beautiful. I like them better than this style. But you will be fine.

Thanks everyone for your assurance! I definitely won't stack the top layer until I deliver it.

gscout73: these pillars only use the separator plate on top as they go directly into the lower cake. I agree with the push in pillars because these pillars are also not my style, but thankfully it's not my wedding either!

Talk about a life changer. I love these. I am actually look for at least 13 of the shorter ones. I think they are 7". I would have to have them by this Friday 8/25.   [email protected] or text 719-469-9607
