Floating cake stand?

Lexi_K, 9 August, 2015 at 11:19 Posted on Planning 0 9

Hello,

I'm just wondering if anyone knows of somewhere you can buy a floating cake stand from? We'd like to have a mixture of cake flavours including a small fruit cake, however I know you can't stack fruit above sponge.

Any my advice would be great - either on where to buy a floating cake stand or other solutions Smiley smile

    Who is making your cake? I was told by a professional at a wedding fair that it is sometimes possible to stack fruit cake ontop of sponge (she had a special method). Might be worth asking about if you prefer a stacked cake. We are having a fruit bottom layer with two or three sponge layers on top. Or if you would prefer a stand There is a good range on rainbow stagecraft website, some are quite expensive though

    We're on a tight budget so looking at getting it from m&s as they seem to have good reviews. Either getting either an assortment of tiers and using a floating stand or it may just be easier to buy a chocolate/sponge cake and then a fruit cutting bar to keep the fruit cake lovers happy. Don't fancy trying any complicated stacking methods myself lol.

    thanks for the response ?

    My friends bought their cake tiers from m&s. They use some short pillars between the layers and placed daffodils in the gaps, it looked very effective and everyone assumed it had been made professionally, it was a total bargain!

    Hi Lexi,

    Where abouts in the country are you? I have a three tier floating cake stand that I will be using for my wedding - I was thinking about selling it afterwards ?

    As long as you have dowel rods in the cake to support it, it should be fine. I looked at the tiers from M&S but we are going with the chocolate hoop cake and having a bar of fruit/plain sponge out the back to cut up.

    I'm in Lincolnshire, so might be a bit far ☹️ I got it off amazon for about £40 though - if you wanted to look into buying one - its an E shaped three tier cake stand
