Has anyone used these pillars before? I am considering using them for a 3 tier b-day cake and I dont want to have a lot of space seperating the layers. Please ifyou have pictures I would like to see them. Thanks!!!

I don't have these, but would wonder, what is the size of the globe? That should give you an idea of how much space is between the tiers. If it's a 3" ball, then you would probably have about 3" between tiers, much like a 3" grecian pillar, I would think.

Hope this helps,

I have used these on two wedding cakes!! I loved them!! There was just enough room between the layers. The bride's colors were white and red. I painted the balls red and then had the white cake w/red ribbon around the base and roses on the side.

I will use the globes as often as I can get away with!! They are wonderful!!!

the smallest globe is 2 inches. Its the right amount of space that I am looking for, but I was hoping that someone on here would have used them on a cake so I can get an idea of what it would look like. I dont want to use grecian pillars because it would notlook good with the theme of the cake (for a 1 year old) Otherwise I have to resort to my other option.

Sounds like they would work perfect for what you are wanting to do. They are great because you can paint them a color if you want, they are casual (where the columns are not) and they leave just the right amount of space!!!

Give them a try!!! I promise you will love them!!!

These can usually be used to make each cake appear as if it is floating. They aren't that high and you can cover around them with your flowers. HTH.
