How To Choose Wedding Cake Pillars

A tiered cake can be as elegant, elaborate or as contemporary as you want it to be, but all will require the use of wedding cake pillars. Knowing which ones to buy as part of your wedding cake supplies will ensure that they are effective and match the decoration of the cake.

Shape
Cake decorating pillars designed to support the layers of your wedding cake are available in a range of different shapes including globes, spikes and Grecian pillars. This will make it necessary to consider the shape of the cake to help you decide what shape would be suitable.

Amount
The higher the number of layers, the heavier the cake will be and the lowest layer of cake pillar will need to support most of the weight. Ensuring that there are enough pillars to be effective will prevent any accidents from occurring.

Length
Although it can be tempting to make your wedding cake more grand by increasing its height, long pillars can be somewhat of a hazard. Longer pillars tend to topple more easily than shorter pillars, which have a lower center of gravity and will, therefore, be more stable. If you still wish to make use of long pillars, opt for thicker varieties rather than thin ones.

Style
The different styles available will enable you to find one to match the theme of the wedding, whether it be modern or old-fashioned. If you require personalized pillars, you will need to determine whether your idea is possible and how long they will take from order to arrival.

Color
If the wedding has a color that is being used as part of the theme of the wedding, consider whether this can be incorporated into the cake stand pillars. A hint of color can be enough to add to the decoration of the cake without it becoming overbearing.
