Tiered Cake With Short Pillars? Help Please!
Decorating By golfgirl1227 Updated 22 Mar 2006 , 5:21am by golfgirl1227
Where do I find the pillars? And do I use plates?
The only tiered cake that I've done that isn't stacked was the cake in Wilton Course 3 and those are way too tall. I have a wedding cake to do that has the short pillars in between tiers and flowers between those tiers so you can't even tell there are pillars- just looks like each tier is sitting on the flowers....am I describing this right?
Anyway, what pillars do I use and what else do I need? She doesn't want those plates that Wilton has with the scallop-y things poking out. And tell me evertything else I need to know about this 
) PUH-LEASE!!!!!
I NEED HELP!!!!!!!!!!PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!
TIA,
Suz
you're looking for hidden pillars. these are wider and shorter and can be trimmed if you need them even shorter. use with a plsstic plate above. if she doesn't want to see the scalloped edge of the plastic plate then put the cake on a board that is slightly bigger then the plate. these pillars are pushed into the cake. the gap between the tiers is wide enough to arrange a circle of flowers, which i think is the look you are wanting.
wilton also sells the clear plastic plates

Okay, so I'd have to use the scallop plate if I wanted to do a border around the bottom egde, right? The crystal plate said to use only with the crystal pillars, which are taller than I want. Or could I use those with the hidden pillars anyway?
Thanks!
