Ok this is probably a dumb question...I'm making my first wedding cake in two weeks for my sister and I wanted to use the sps for the first time. It's three tiers 14,10,6. covered in fondant. I know most cakes are 4" tall and the standard sps leg is that height but my pans are 3". If I want each tier to be 6" tall do I need to do two 3" cakes in each tier with a plate and support in between or with the sps can I just get the longer pillars and cut them to 6" or would that not have enough structural support due to the height?

I've done tiered cakes before but never one this big. Any tips or advice you could give me about stacking large cakes or fondant would be appreciated, I'm a little nervous. I'm excited to use the sps for the first time, it looks awesome!

Thanks!

The sticky on sps recommends to use a saw to cut it. Has anyone tried cutting the sps with a pvc pipe cutter would that work?

Yes, the PVC pipe cutter work great for that application.

I have used a pipe cutter. You do have to do it very carefully and slowly or the leg will break unevenly.

Thanks I'll hafta "borrow" the pipe cutter from my DH's tool box and put it in my cake tool box (After I've sanitized it of course)

The pipe cutter should work....cut slow ........A pipe cutter can be on your christmas list this year...... tools of the trade...lol.....I use a small saw and miter box.....
