ASSEMBLY AND SET UP
Satellite Cake Stands are one of the easiest to work with.  We have three 
types of satellite cake stands available:  plastic, acrylic and Styrofoam.   Each 
cake stands on it's own.    Because they are individual, cakes may be 
arranged in many different ways.    Except for the base plate, each cake sits 
on a top plate with a post and a base plate (plates are used for both base and 
top plate).  We recommend using 8" plates for the bases of all except 14" 
plates.  For posts over 15", do not use larger than an 8" top plate.  For posts 
over 20", do not use larger than a 6" top plate.   Prepare the Cakes:  Place 
base tier on a sturdy base plate 4" larger than the cake, of at least 4 thickness 
of cardboard , masonite, cake drum (covered with our decorative foil and 
with Bush studs glued on), Super Strong Plastic Cake Stand, or deluxe white 
Formica stand.  Place remaining cakes on on cardboards, cake plates or 
 masonite, 2" larger than the cake (cover cardboards with our decorative foil)
or, use our beautiful Cake Drums, 2" larger than each cake.  Ice and decorate
each cake. 
Final Assembly:  Place rods in the base plates and attach top plate (top plate 
may be same size as cardboard, masonite or drum cake is sitting on and it's 
edge may be seen or top plate may be same size as cake with the cardboard, 
masonite or cake drum 2" bigger and top plate will not be seen.  Arrange 
cakes.  If using Styrofoam, may use satin cloth to cover the Styrofoam.    
Note:  We also carry some  stands that have a fixed base, needing only rods 
and top plates.
