Are they going to be stacked on top of each other? It was fashionable for a long time to have separate cakes linked with plastic staircases…

Heaven in paper cups!

Yes, 3 tiers stacked on top of each other.

How about something like this?

I saw this at a cake show recently. It would avoid having to carve the cakes :-)

Saw that at Squires Julia.. It’s fantastic… Yes a great idea for stairs without carving … Not had to do stairs as yet. Look forwards to the feed

You must never limit your challenges, instead you must challenge your limits

Thanks for sharing that Julia – what a clever idea!

Those stairs are lovely, they`d look great on a Cinderella cake

I love that stair on ur cake pic.Beautiful cakes!
But this is the pic from my custom, and i have to do straight stair from bottom tier to top tier.Anyone have any idea ? :)

That is a beautiful scene but I guess it would be pretty tricky to get it looking right without cutting away quite a lot of cake (and losing portions). There must be a way but it isn’t coming to me at the moment………….
I bet there is someone out there who knows though :-)

I end up to make the cake with different stair. And here the pics i want to show you. With different set up, you can have different look on the cake. Tell me what do u think? Thanks, for looking !
