I will be making a wedding cake with a layer of flowers in between each cake. I have, up until this request, been using the SPS system with much success. But, I'm not sure how to do this cake. Here is a picture of what I mean. The bride wants round cakes instead of square, but she does want those thicker boards under each cake. Can anyone give me some tips as to how to do that? Thanks so much!

You can still use SPS, just place each tier on its own drum on top of the SPS plate. The SPS pillars are hidden by the flowers. You could use styrofoam as spacers, if not using SPS.

I agree, I'd still use the SPS. If I'm looking at the picture correctly, those aren't 4" tiers so there'll still be space between the cake and the plate. Your flowers will fit in that space and hide the pillars.

Gorgeous cake!

SPS also has the 5" pillars that also come with 2 - 2" extenders. Perfect for situations like this.

Thanks so much for all of your help! I'm so glad I can still use the SPS system - it's been so much easier for me than stacking cakes with dowel rods, etc.

SPS=Single Plate Separators

also similar to Wilton push-in pillars and plates when separated with space instead of stacked, or stacked with plastic dowels.
