I am making my daughters wedding cake and ordered the SPS system because I have drive the cake an hour away to the event site.  When I baked a cake to give the SPS a trial run, I noticed you lose alot of cake with those big columns/dowels!  How do you all cut the cake around the holes that are left.  I really don't want to serve pieces of cake with a partial hole cut out of it.  Any suggestions would be great!  

Thanks!

AI cut so those holes are pieces. I also don't follow the typical cutting chart. Cutting those circles is ridiculous! I cut straight lines across the tier.

You really don't lose that much cake by using them.  If you are worried about the pieces being uniform, just skip over the hole.  But really, it isn't something to worry over.  Good luck!  :)
