20 cm Transparent Refillable Round Acrylic Tier

Large format acrylic tier to fill for event wedding cakes

The large format refillable round acrylic tier from Prop Options is a transparent cylinder designed for large-scale wedding cakes and event tiered cakes. With its 20.3 cm diameter, it offers a substantial interior volume for spectacular decorative compositions: large bouquets of dried flowers, dense fairy light garlands, accumulations of petals or balloons.

Measuring 20.3 × 20.3 × 15.2 cm (8 × 8 × 6 inches), this tier fits cake layers of 18, 20, or 22 cm diameter. Made in the UK by Prop Options, a leading brand for cake artists specializing in high-end structural equipment.

Why the 20 cm Size

• • Generous interior volume: about 4,900 cm³ of filling space, compared to 2,750 cm³ for the 15 cm size. Allows for much denser and more spectacular decorative compositions.
• • Compatible with standard layers: ideal diameter to align with 18, 20, or 22 cm wedding cake tiers, the most common sizes for weddings.
• • Increased visibility: the interior decoration is more visible from a distance, perfect for large reception halls and distant buffets.
• • "Centerpiece" effect: this size becomes the focal point of the wedding cake, memorable for guests and photos.

Filling Ideas Suitable for Large Format

• • Dense dried flower bouquets: voluminous "wildflower meadow" style arrangements for rustic and bohemian weddings.
• • Multiple fairy light garlands: several intertwined LED garlands for an immersive sparkling light effect.
• • Fresh petal cascades: roses, hydrangeas, or jasmine for a lush English garden effect.
• • Themed compositions: matching balloons, feathers, pearls, or personalized event elements (gender reveal, signature birthday).
• • Architectural decor: stabilized branches, eucalyptus, baby's breath for a contemporary "contained nature" effect.
• • Intentional emptiness: minimalist "floating wedding cake" effect, particularly striking in large format.

Recommended Configurations

• • 4-tier wedding cake: place this tier between the middle and lower layers to create a focal point in the center of the tiered cake.
• • 5-tier wedding cake: combine with the 15 cm size for two decorative tiers interspersed, a signature architectural structure.
• • Buffet presentation: use alone as a display base for an individual pastry piece.
• • Duo compositions: two tiers stacked at 90° for a contemporary sculpture effect.

Patissland Tip for Assembly

For this large size, structural stability is crucial. Always place a rigid cake drum with a slightly larger diameter (22-25 cm) under the acrylic tier to distribute the weight. For wedding cakes with 4 tiers or more, use vertical support rods that run through the entire structure: the acrylic tier does not bear the weight of the layers, the rods do. The acrylic tier is just a decorative "showcase" placed around the rods.

Filling Tip: Balance the Density

For this large volume, avoid "uniform filling" which can look overloaded. Prefer an asymmetrical composition: dense grouping on one side, airy space on the other. For dried flowers: use stabilized floral foam at the bottom to fix stems and create vertical relief. For fairy lights: wrap the wire in an ascending spiral rather than a ball at the bottom.

Care and Storage

Hand wash with lukewarm water and a little mild soap, dry with a lint-free microfiber cloth to avoid scratches. Do not put in the dishwasher. Avoid any contact with solvents like alcohol, acetone, or harsh cleaning products that crack acrylic. Store in a protective cover or its original packaging between events.

To Go Further

Complete your wedding cake structure:

• Place your base on a rigid cake drum to distribute the weight.
• Reinforce the structure with vertical support rods.
• Protect the bases with food-grade rhodoid between drum and cake.
