Why use a Hexagon support Frame?

With a hexagon shape support frame you can support all shapes of cakes. The Hexagon is a very strong shape with all of its sides being short. The hexagon allows you to have six (6) support legs, and only six (6) small points are near the outside edge of the cake. The support legs are as far to the outside edge as possible to get a stable support of all the cakes above. All the sides of the hexagon are well back away from the outside edge of the cake. The points of the Hexagon support frame are 1/4" less than the cake size, this keeps the points back from the edge so they can be easily covered. The hexagon frame is intended to keep all the legs in a upright position, and keep them from shifting, or tilting. The frame is very narrow in width, and will disturb very little icing when removed from the cake. The 13" and 16" Support Frames are 1 1/2 Times Wider then the smaller frames, this allows them to hold more weight.

Each Hexagon Support frame has a Crossing Center Support Member with a 13/64" Hole in the center for the Center support rod. This will keep all the additional layers of cake in line using the 3/8" Center support rod. This stabilizes your layers side to side, and It keeps the support system from tipping, sliding, or falling. This keeps every layer in line with each other. The holes are big enough to allow for the Separator Plates and Hex Frames to have clearance to slip off after the wooden dowel rod swells from the moisture of the cake. The 13" and 16" Frame is 1 1/2 Times wider than the smaller frames.

On custom request all holes can be drilled off center so the layers are not in line, but all the layers are still aliened & supported side to side with the 3/8" center support rod.

Tiered and stacked cakes:

When stacking cakes with our Elite boards using dowel rods or some kind of leg system, you must use some care and good judgment. You must cut the dowel rods or legs Square (Flat top and Bottom) , so there is not a point that can start to break through the Styrene Facers of our boards.
You should use SIX (6) ¼" Legs for a total weight up to 50# of cake on the legs.
You should use SIX (6) 3/8" Legs for a total weight up to 70# of cake on the legs.
