I love the SPS...it's worked well for me. I've got my first wedding cakes (yes, plural- I'm crazy) tomorrow. I ordered my supplies weeks ago like a good girl. Go to make sure that the cake is the right height after I frosted all pretty smooth....bam. I bet I've got a good inch too much cake! I don't have the special extender sps legs...I thought I did--turned out to be the standard 4".
Is there anyway to salvage this?! Can I cut and glue the sps legs together to make up that inch?! Or is that asking for serious disaster. Think lowes or Home depot would have a plastic pipe that'd work for that?! I have no idea what I'm gonna do!!!
That's a good idea! Will they hold up okay? I'll wait to stack them till I get to the venue if that'll work...
Are the wilton ones adjustable? Or just easy to cut?
If it were me -- and it has been me in this situation -- I would take some of the buttercreme off and rework it until smooth again. I trust SPS so much now, that I will not use anything else, and I would not want dried glue inside a cake holding 2 pieces of plastic together.
And yes - I have taken the layers apart, trimmed cake if necessary, torted/filled again and reiced. Usually after you do this once, it doesn't happen again -- it was enough work and stress that I learned to measure as I work.

Leah I'm so going to!! And thank you a 1000x over for your help ladies!
I'm using wilton's 'hidden' pillar. They fit to the OUTSIDE of the sps...actually fit pretty snug too...not SPS snug- but they hold their own. I think this might work!
