Hello everybody 

I need an advice, I will do a wedding cake, square 5 tiers 14,12,10,8,6.

The brides wants a silver plateau cake stand, I bought square plateau cake stand 22"

Stand looks heavy, my question is this type of stand hold the weight of 5 tiers cake?I'm a little scare.

any suggestions are welcome 

Thanks in advanced

yes it should -- i mean i can't guarantee it because i can't see/feel any of it but a typical 22" plateau will hold the five tier square cake easy peasy --

is this a normal tier cake, or is it anything super heavy? it should hold even if it's extra heavy --

i tell you though a lot of round plateaus have three feet -- what the heck were they thinking -- i've had one of those numbers break a leg off before  -- no es bueno --

If you are uneasy you can always put some blocks of wood or stack some books up underneath the stand for added support.
