Need Advice On How To Build A Cake.
Decorating By drowninginfondant Updated 10 Apr 2010 , 2:37am by sweettooth101
I want a 10-12 in base cake with a 6 inch tier in the middle and then an 8 inch for the top. I going for a certain effect. I am thinking of using the SPS system. Can anyone suggest a better way to do this? TIA.
I don't think that there is a better or safer way to do build a cake with SPS. It's fairly inexpensive and I use it for all stacked cakes and have the costs calculated into my cake prices. Once you use the system you'll never use anything else. Check out the 7 tier wedding cake in my cake photos - SPS all the way!

Single plate separator. Leah_s has this message posted on her signatures on replies to questions: "The SPS instructions are a Sticky at the top of the How Do I? Forum. Scroll to PAGE 15."
Here is a link to a topic about the SPS: http://cakecentral.com/cake-decorating-ftopict-603925-sps.html.
She made a believer out of me and I use it for every stacked cake.

If you have ever seen Colette Peters book called 'Cakes to Dream On' she talks about this. If I remember correctly, she uses styrofoam dummies for the smaller, and stacks the bigger on top of that. Of course if you want the smaller to be cake as well this may not really help. I have never used an SPS but it sounds good.

I love her books! I have 4 of them now. She gives great detail instructions.
Thanks for the info! I will check out her books. I didn't even think to use a dummy cake.
ptanyer, your cakes are really something. The 7 layer cake is awesome. Thanks for your response.
