2016.Pillars in wedding cakes are making a real comeback, and
whilst the outdated columns hopefully won’t be seen again,
a separate cake design really does add elegance and an air of
importance to a setting. The pillars on this design are actually
CakeFrame, but Dawn has decorated them to look like real
stone pillars. The beauty of CakeFrame is that it’s clear, so
you don’t actually have to cover them up at all! Because
they’re hollow, they’ll also take lighting and other electrical
wiring – think of the fun you could have with that!Difficulty Rating
