Has anyone separated the tiers for a flower layer in between?
This is for a 5 tiered square cake. The florist will provide the flowers. I was thinking of having a 2" space between layers for roses. The only square separator plates I've seen so far are from Wilton. My thinking is to use those and cut the tubes to 6" so they extend 2" above the top of the tier. Thx!

Don't use the tubes called "plastic dowel rods"... make sure you get "hidden pillars". They come in 6" (9" also available if you get the replacement pillars for the globe pillar set).
Yes...the dummy on a board and dowel under them, then dowel through the separator and the cake. I did the one in my pics in 2 sections, the bottom 2 tiers stacked with the dummy on top - doweled through all- and then the top 2 tiers and dummy doweled and stacked.

Let me see if I got this right - your cake looks great be the way.
you dowel the bottom tier,stack cake, dowel the 2nd tier, stack dummy(on cake board) and then you dowel through dummy,2nd tier and first tier? Or are you refering to the center dowel that goes through all the tiers and dummy seperators at the very end?
Thank you mrswendel and OP I was just going to start a new post when I saw this.
Kandykin - thanks for the compliment! Yes, you have it right.
First tier (bottom cake) dowel
Second tier (cake) dowel - stack these two.
Third tier Styrofoam dummy on a cake board.
**Centre dowel through these 3 tiers.
Fourth tier (cake) dowel
Fifth tier - styrofoam dummy on a cake board.
Sixth tier (cake)
**Centre dowel through the top tier, dummy, and cake tier into the bottom dummy at the venue when I set it up.
HTH!
