Simple assembly—no dowel rods needed! Use any type of Wilton Push-In Pillars and Plates.
Step 1
Mark tier for push-in pillar placement. Use the
separator plate for the next tier above, gently
pressing it onto the tier, feet down, making sure
it is centered. Lift plate away. The feet will
leave marks on the icing to guide the position
of pillars when you assemble the tier. Repeat
this process for each tier, working from largest
to smallest tier. The top tier is left unmarked.
Step 2
Place each tier on its separator plate, securing with icing.
Step 3
Position push-in pillars at marks, and insert into
tiers. Push straight down until pillars touch the
cake board.
Step 4
To assemble, start with the tier above the base
tier. Place the feet of the separator plate on the
pillar openings.
Step 5
Continue adding tiers in the same way until the cake is completely assembled.
