Stack Tiered Cake With Offset Tiers
Decorating By Pebbles1727 Updated 30 Jan 2012 , 9:27pm by Pebbles1727
Hi Everyone,
it seems that it's becoming quite popular with brides to be interested in the style of cake where all tiers are shifted to the edge on one side. The pics this recent bride has showed me totally defy gravity to me as the 4 tiered cake shifted to one side is sitting on the narrow pedestal cake stands. I think it has to be styrofoam because in really life it will not stand. For those who do, have done it, any tips/ideas? I'm extremely concerned the whole thing will just follow over, LOL
Any help?
Thanks in advance, P
How would I make a real life cake work? Anything different needs to be done to make it stand. I'm worried that it will still fall over with being so off centered....
Oh no, the cake is totally do-able. I do it all the time. But a cake with a center of gravity so far off to the side will not stand on a pedestal.... though I guess if they were set on it you could do the bottom tier as real cake (and center it on the pedestal) and then have the upper tiers be styrofoam.
Here are a few pix of this style:

Yes Kory, that's it, the last 2 links of yours. I'll see if I can attach the picture of what she is wanting. They stand with no problem? What do you use for supports?
Thanks, P
Thanks! I use SPS so that should work just fine then. I have to transport it over an hour away but I have a cake safe, but I may still consider stacking on site.
Thanks for the help, P
