Is this sturdy? Will it hold heavy cakes or is it likely to fall over when bumped?

I would say it is moderately sturdy, but I would not trust it to stay upright if bumped. I've had mine for a number of years and one rack is no longer completely level (maybe the support got bent). But I think it would be strong enough to hold a cake.

To be honest, I haven't tested the rack out with heavy cakes yet, but it's well constructed-light, but very sturdy. I'll give it another test with heavier items if you like.

I don't think I'd use it for heavy cakes. It is fine for ordinary round layer cakes and sturdy enough that it doesn't tip, but the depth between the layers isn't enough for loaf cakes or fruit cakes in a loaf pan.

They would have to be "really bumped" to fall with something heavier than cookies. They are fairly sturdy.

It had pretty good weight to it. It held a two tier cake for my event. One tier was an eight inch and the other was a twelve inch cake. I hope that this helps you.

Personally I wouldn't put a heavy object on it. I think the caddy is much to flimsy for that. I have a Kitchen Aid stand mixer and I value it too much to put it on the extra caddy that I purchased. I'm using one of the caddies that I ordered for my Mr Coffee and it is just about as much as the caddy can hold.

I don't think this stand was very sturdy. I would only use it for cupcakes.

Hahaha... the base sits, but your cake might still slide off after you eat half of it. The product isn't heavy enough to support the weight of half or quarter of a cake. My stand fell over after we served up half.

If u remove the top center post, u can only see 1/2 inch of the screw part that attaches to center post. That can' easily by mounted by your cake. I don't know how stable it will be though. Without the top center post attached, it definitely makes the top layer pretty wobbly and somewhat unstable for a cake. I wouldn't do it myself, just for the safety of the cake.

Hi-yes- it is very sturdy. The bottom is strong and even which prevents it from tipping. I was worried about the same thing, but i'ts fine. I hope this helps!

Yes. The cake holder will hold any tall cake and it locks to keep everything safe . I secure the plate with sticky back tape to keep it from moving around when carried. You will enjoy it Karen Lee H.

Hi it is pretty sturdy, and I have bumped it a few times and it was fine, but it was a not a strong bump. I LOVE this thing and so does my husband. I used it all the time and prefer it in the case rather than out.

Yes, it will hold 2 layers safely. Used the large cupcake/cake holder for our daughter's wedding and that was my biggest concern. Baker assured me it would be fine and it worked very well.

the rack is very heavy, this is substantial metal not just wire. Also has non skid feet. It would depend on the size of the pans of course. Mine is LOADED with pizza pan, cake pans, muffin tins, cookie sheets. Hasn't fallen over yet. Worth a try for the price.

I would say "yes" as the cake plate is made of very heavy glass. It is not delicate but sturdy. I would say it would hold a three tiered cake at least.

I wouldn't recommend it. It's not extremely heavy, but I doubt that push pins would be enough to keep it from falling. (Unless you get those really hard-core push pins that are like little nails)

It is very sturdy. Mine holds 275+ and is not wobbly at all. We do not bounce or jump up and down on it. Just use it to sit on and shoes at front door. A perfect fit for what we use it for.

I have never really weight our cakes but they are made from scratch which has a tendency to be heavier than box cake mix. I have doubled the boards and have place a cake on top of our sheet cakes, just can't put the top down and the box has done fine. I don't think you need to worry the box so much as you do the boards, asking sure they are strong enough to hold the cake. You will be picking the cake up from the bottom so the box is not the issue as much. Hope this helped some.

Its very very heavy. It would not tip over. I have kids who play with it at times. Its not a problem. You would be happy with it.

I don't think this would fall over however I could see it rattle if there were just a couple of dishes in the holder as they would bump against each other. Having mine stacked as I do, there is no rattling because my stands are full of plates.
