I have a last minute order for a wedding cake. I have no worries about a stacked tiered cake but I've not used pillars or separator plates etc. What is the best way to do it. I don't understand the separator plates and the separate pillars but then again I can't find a separator that comes in the same height but with different plates sizes. Argh I'm such a novice! Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated!
