The wooden Base is sold separately, is interchangeable and the current Cake pictures have a variety of sizes so please speak to your Cake Maker about the size you need and once you have the size of the cake height buy a hoop at least 15cm above the total cake height. The base needs to be at least 5cm wider than the base tier if you want it to sit straight onto the wood. Please be aware that cake bases 35cm and above will require a pedestal.
PLEASE NOTE - They fit together by the hoop sitting between the timber planks which are 2.5cm deep and a minimum of 4cm of the hoop size will be used up by this. The planks will be slightly wider than the gap required (1cm) for the hoop so depending on the size of your cake bottom tier and if you are wrapping the hoop with decoration you may want to use sticky heavy duty pads to reduce the gap and cushion the hoop as there will be some flexibility.
If you require the distance to be set and not allow any room for decorations or any particular cake size so please add any notes to the ‘note to seller at the cart’ about any specific requirements.

Unfinished / Natural wood - which is very light in colour and unfinished with no wax or varnish.
Light Rustic - is a little darker, has a distressed weathered appearance plus a varnish top coat.
Dark rustic - has a dark weathered appearance but has a dark waxed applied plus a varnish top coat. The wax can be reapplied to darken the wood to maintain the appearance as it will lighten over time.

PLEASE NOTE ----------The wood we use is recycled reclaimed timber which will have some dents and cracks which adds to its character. Should you wish for an alternative full metal cake stand please refer to another listing which is available.
We strive to make as many lovely accessories and props as possible and we hope you are satisfied with the product.
Our work is made from reclaimed timber and the unused or unseen back side of the wood is not restored and comes in its original condition. We strongly recommend you store the wooden base somewhere dry and flat as it is a natural product and can warp in changing temperatures. Each piece is hand worked and hand painted. Therefore some of the wood grain, knots, indentations, variance in colour will show through. These variations and simple imperfections are what make your wood sign unique as no two pieces are ever the same.
Decoration not included - suitable for DIY use. Hoop care - Please be aware that the hoops may tarnish or could chip with use (especially if used at Weddings every week) and the hoop is made from welded steel and if left out in changing weather conditions or is exposed to water the steel will rust over time - HOWEVER the hoops can sprayed with rustoleum spray (available in all the metallic colours used - please refer to Amazon for the colour Spec) so if you lightly sand the hoop you are able to re-spray the hoop again - a new coat of rustoleum will bring them back to life and you can continue to use the hoop for a number of years.
Please note that everything we make in metal is handmade and there will be a welded joint and some minor inperfections with the metal - ideally the join should be hidden within the base.
We strive to make as many lovely accessories and props as possible and we hope you are satisfied with the product. Thank you.❤️
