Okay, so I'm goign to try to take advantage of the sale and get some SPS pieces.

Question is this - what column sets are the most useful? My cakes are generally pretty close to 4" but a little under.

Also, do you get plates the same size as your cakes? ie 6" plate for 6" cake?

I know these have probably been asked and answered in the giant SPS thread as well as others but I'm not finding the search function to be friendly today

TIA

For me, I get plates the same size as the cake. Unless you need it bigger for some reason, ie you need to sit a figure on it or something.

I buy the 4in columns and cut them down if my cakes don't bake up high enough for some odd reason. I use my DH's band saw.
