How do you make the cake stand?

I'm sorry, I don't have an answer...I've only used it once and didn't attempt to make the cornbread I made with it stand. I'd imagine you'd want to trim some of the risen, baked layer so it's flat - and then put the pieces together using icing, if making a cake and toothpicks...

When the cake is prepared according to the instructions, it will stand by itself without additional support. Bear in mind that this is a pound cake recipe (i.e., with more eggs than a regular cake) and as such the result is more firm-bodied and thus perfect for a mold of this type.

Be sure to get the pieces even. Spread icing on the turkey's feet AFTER you put him together. Anchor the turkey to the cake plate via the icing on the bottom of his feet. I had absolutely no trouble with this He was one great looking bird!

You need a small base for this cake -- maybe a large cracker or cookie or even a cardboard square -- on which to put the cake. Use frosting generously on the bottom and around the cake so it sticks to the base. The cake really looks nice when finished. Hope this helps.

I frosted the side where the two molds meet. The mold is designed with a base that is definitely strong enough to support the weight of the rest of the cake. It was fairly easy. I'd like to add that I did not use any recipe that came with it (I didn't even look for one), but made a sugar free yellow cake with bananas. It held up great for me, even through my clumbsy frosting work.

I love the cake pan and I'm quite an accomplished baker - but I don't like cakes you can't really cut without disastrous results! So my answer is simple - make 2 use both if you need them or throw one in the freezer. Remember not to fill it more than 1/2 way full. I use it every Thanksgiving for corn bread!

To make the cake stand up, I did have to trim the tops of both sides of the cake flat while the sides were still in the pan. I then frosted the sides and carefully put the sides together.

Yes, look Roll over image to zoom in Antique Silver Beaded Medium Cake Stand , another selles has it at a medium size. Not sure how tall it is that one though. People here are saying this one is 8inches , so my guess its 12 ? probably dont know

Not sure what happened with the picture but the cake stand is beautiful maybe a little on the light side but definitely study enough to hold my layer cakes!

I used a 9x13 cake...it didn't quite cover the whole top. There was probably about a 2 1/2 in. margin around the edges.

I gave it as a gift so can't remember. It is a beautiful piece of crystal BUT afraid that a 12", 3 tier cake will not fit this cake stand. It did seem small for a cake like that. Hope this helps.

Hi there, I own a bakery and have sold over 1,500 cake push pops. I assemble them, cut my cake to a layer level I'd like, press the container on it, push it down to the bottom, fill with a filling or buttercream, then add another layer of cake, and then top with frosting/buttercream and sprinkles. Depending on the cake, I do 2-3 layers of cake each push pops. Kids love them. Teachers really love them for classroom birthdays, as they are not messy for young kids... like cake or cupcakes :)

Hello...I bought an 5" cake (about the size that's on top of a 3 tier wedding cake)...very easy to assemble

Hello .. not used it yet, but they are not so small so do not know whether to make the cake, I think it serves more as a cutter. I found no little usable. Wanted to make small canapes, but are not small

I ordered early so I would be sure to have it. Just make sure you store it in a cool dry place. Then for about 3 mn just before you put it on the cake put it in the freezer. Once you sit it on cake you wont be able to move it so have everything ready when you take it out of freezer. It's a great product!

Hahaha... the base sits, but your cake might still slide off after you eat half of it. The product isn't heavy enough to support the weight of half or quarter of a cake. My stand fell over after we served up half.

It has to be assembled completely. I have used this with 50 before. We added a regular cake on top and put the cupcake more towards the front of the tiers and filled in gaps with fresh flowers and didn't use the bottom(table top) section. I used a wider ribbon on the bottom layer.

You should always have your cake one of cardboard cake plates. It hasn't been hard to move off at all. Yesterday I decorated a 1/2 sheet cake which is 12.5" x 18", on it and it worked beautifully. I wouldn't put the cake directly on the stand because it would be harder to move. If you have 2 of the Wilton cake mover it might not be. You can also put your cake directly on you platter and decorate on the stand. Hope this helps. Happy decorating!!

I didn't measure it any of the times I've made it, but from a guess, I'd say around 4-5 inches. We've been putting it on the top of the Wilton 4-tier stand by carving out a piece from the bottom, and there is plenty of room for it on there, if that helps. I love the pan and use it all the time. You just need to use a good amount of spray so that the cake pops out nicely. :)

I bought this stand for a friends wedding I did last summer. You can assemble it tier by tier. I did not use the top tier because I put a cake up top. There is plenty of room for jumbo cupcakes, with myself only using the three bottom tiers for cupcakes I still was able to fit about 60. I also wrapped ribbon around the edge of each tier to give it some more color;)

You use chocolate (candy melts). Fill one set of shells with melted chocolate & let them freeze/harden, take them out of the mold, fill another set of shells with melted chocolate then place the flat end of the hard shells you made earlier on top of the fresh/melted shells. Freeze until they are hard & pop them out. If that doesn't work... make two sets of shells & simply "glue" them together with melted chocolate. When they are done you can also brush on some pearl dust to give them shine or mix white & dark chocolate together if you want the brown/white swirled look. Very easy to do.

That won't work. Just a little bit of pressure and the wheel greatly slows down. It's definitely not a strong enough motor to handle a cake. I'm actually a pastry chef, so I have just the right experience to answer your question! I would stick to a hand turned cake stand.
