Has anyone put a cake together with calla stems as a pillar I have a 4 tier cake to do and Im alittle stumped on how to support the calla stems in between the tiers to make them look like they are going through the cakes.
Attached is a sample picture of what Im needing help on. I will have the bottom 2 tiers stacked then callas and another tier then callas and the top tier.
wow that is a cool cake...they actually did my wedding cake there in 2003. It was pretty...expensive .anyway..I was thinking that you could some how hot glue the stems (since that is clear and dries so fast) to the pillar. I would think you would have to "wrap" the tops and the bottoms somehow too since that looks like it goes into the cake. could you maybe get artificial stems that may really work the best, and they would also be a little more supportive. I am not a huge fan of silk flowers, but now they have them where they look so real. You could just basically use the stems to give the look.. then wouldn't have to deal with the real stems causing issues...just a thought. Good luck with this. I am sure there will be others with other thoughts...
I will be using fake stems and gumpaste callas what im wondering is if theres some kind of setup that has a center pillar thats stable enough to hold the weight.
Maybe you could use pieces of PVC pipe and acouple of flanges to do this. Just cut the hole in your cake large enough to slide down the pipe with the stems glued to it. JMHO
I would make the stems out of gumpaste also.. then attatch them around a pillar.
Wilton has a center column cake stand
