FAQs
What makes this separator better than cheaper alternatives?
Many imitations use thin, low-grade materials that can bend or fail under pressure. Our PropSecure® separators are made from premium-grade, food-safe stainless steel and undergo rigorous quality control, ensuring strength, durability, and professional performance every time.
How do I create a floating tier effect with my cake?
This separator is designed to sit between two tiers, creating the illusion that the upper cake is floating. Paired with our PropSecure® system, it provides both style and structural integrity - ideal for dramatic, modern cake designs.
What is the best cake separator for a floating illusion?
Our Floating Side Bar Separator is crafted from food-safe stainless steel and is precision-engineered for a clean, elegant illusion. It’s trusted by professionals and compatible with the PropSecure® system for added stability.
Are floating cake tiers safe for transport?
Yes. When used with the PropSecure® system, this separator locks securely into place. The durable stainless steel construction ensures your cake is stable during display and transport.
Why is the price higher than similar-looking products?
While budget alternatives might look similar, they often lack the engineering and structural integrity needed for real-world cake builds. PropSecure® separators are designed for professionals who need reliability, safety, and flawless presentation - making them a long-term investment, not a short-term compromise.

Important Information: These separators have a cantilever design meaning they have been specifically designed to have a certain amount of flexibility to allow for manual adjustment and placement. This allows for variation between cake weights, making them suitable to be used with both real cakes and dummy cakes.
Please Note - When using two or more separators, we recommend incorporating faux dummy tiers into your cake design to help keep your creation within the stable weight limits.
Please follow all guidelines carefully and visit our YouTube channel for full tips and tutorials on best practices when assembling your floating creations. Following these guidelines will ensure you reach success!
