Columns or Stacked Cakes
Stacked cakes are when the tiers of cake are one directly on top of
the other. These types of cakes are delivered in separate pieces and
assembled at the reception site. Each tier of cake is on it’s
own separate board and all are supported with dowels cut to size and
inserted into the cake. Stacking has been the trend of late. One advantage
of stacking the cake is not having any equipment to return.
Columns can add height and drama to any cake, especially those of a
smaller serving size. Columns can be 1 ½- 5 inches of separation
between the tiers. The separation is ideal for using fresh or icing
flowers. The shortest columns can be almost completely covered with
flowers if you don’t want them to show. The cake is delivered
in separate pieces and assembled at the reception site. No finishing
borders are required with a columned wedding cake. It is fully decorated
in advance. This makes it possible for the client to pick up the cake.
It can easily be assembled and requires no cake decorating experience.
If you are on a budget, you can trim a few dollars by picking up the
cake and saving the delivery charge. The cake can be picked up the day
before the wedding for your convenience. The columns and plastic plates
used in this construction may be purchased or returned. A deposit is
required if the items are to be returned.
