Types Of Stand

There are numerous styles, but these are the most popular:

A Floating Cake Stand
A floating stand is showing up at more and more modern weddings. Rather than pillars, the stand has its support structure at the back, while using cake plates extending out from it. This makes your cake layers appear to 'float' in mid-air. It's a great look for straightforward cakes!

A Tower 3 Tier Wedding Cake Stand
A tower 3 tier cake stand uses one column in the center to support the cake plates, and is suitable for any design of cake. This style can make it super easy to add flowers or other decorations to and around your wedding cake. For any modern touch, use a tower stand to show wedding cupcakes rather than a wedding cake - this has become a quite popular option among women for modern-day marriages.

3 Tier Wedding Cake Stand

A 3 tier stand brings an air of elegance to even the simplest sort of wedding cake.

3 tiers are easily the most popular number for wedding cakes, as an odd number of tiers creates visible curiosity, and allows the cake itself to demand attention. While you'll be able to display your cake with no stand, having a 3 tiered wedding cake stand is a simple solution to boost the aesthetic value of your cake, and create an aura of splendor, theatre, elegance or whatever feel you might be aiming for. It also allows you to more easily add adornments, such as bouquets or laces and ribbons, to your cake.

Your Typical Wedding Stand
Normally, a 3 tier cake stand is made up of three cake plates which are based on support beams. Although a lot of people produce different sized layers, with the largest tier at the base and the smallest layer at the summit, you could have each layer of cake the same exact size when you're using a stand if you like. An appealing option with stands is that you can position your first layer on the bottom stand, or have it supported by pillars. This leaves you ample space underneath your cake to create a pretty display with your 3 tier wedding cake stand.

Types of Cake Stands For Hire

If your cake is the traditional western wedding cake that has multiple tiers that sit on top of each other, you'll want what is referred to as a tiered cake stand. Most cakes that sit on this type of stand have 3 tiers, but this is not a hard and fast rule (it just seems to be American tradition). Tiered cake stands can be hired for as many tiers as you have levels of cake. Cakes that perch atop a tiered stand are very attractive and inviting. The only downside is they look so pretty in one piece, you might be reluctant to serve it!
