Is this rack sturdy enough to cool a few pound cakes? Several loaves of cakes? Does anyone know the max weight it can hold with or without all tiers

It is a very sturdy rack, provided you use all four supports. With just two supports, I do not think it would hold heavy cakes.

If you use the 4 pole/corner setup you should not have a problem as long as the heaviest items are on the lowest racks. Each shelf should hold over 5 pounds. I have put close to that amount before. However, most of the items that I bake are lite and airy.

If you're talking about a pound cake per rack, I would be fine in endorsing this. Even up to 2 each rack, I'm sure it would be fine. The hooks on the back end are really sturdy. My only reservation for pound cakes, or any other cakes which may rise, would be a worry about clearance. I'll go set mine up and measure and then post a picture to the product.

I think it'll depend how how heavy the cake is. This stand is pretty sturdy!

This is a very sturdy rack. I would say that it could handle pots hanging from it.

It's fairly sturdy. I had a pretty heavy 2 tier cake on it and it seemed fine however I don't think I would put a 3 tier on it. My cake was pretty dense though.

I use this rack for totes and it works just fine. Keep heavier stuff on the bottom, obviously, and it's great. Pretty sturdy. Two normal sized totes are a little snug side by side on a shelf but other than that it's fine.

Yes it should hold square cakes, although I never used it yet with a square cake. I don't see a problem it would have.

In response to the 9-1/4 inch cake rack. I purchased it to use in my Fagor duo pressure cooker/canner. It fits perfectly and allows me to pressure can 4 quarts at a time or 6 or 7 pints whichever and fits my small families needs perfectly. I also can use it as a cooling rack for a cake, small pizza, cookies, a hot pan. I like that it is stainless steel and would highly recommend it. If I was into making layer cakes I would have purchased more.

Yes...I bought this because I asked Tori Avey on her Shiksa in the Kitchen blog/website if she knew of a baking rack. She told me this was really a baking rack but called a cooling rack. I've used it at 450 degrees with no problem. She had given me the link for her Amazon store which is where I bought this. I thought it was pretty heavy duty, esp. For the price! I plan on buying a second one for my other half-sheet pan.Hope this helps

This bakers racks is relatively sturdy. I have a medium sized Kenmore microwave oven on the wooden rack. As well as about five glass casserole, pie dishes stored on the bottom rack, and six or seven various sized metal pans on the upper two. It seems to be able to hold these items just fine.

It's sturdy but probably better not to put something quite so heavy on it. There are plenty of good quality "clad"pans that would be better. I hope this helps. T

I used this tower for a baby shower and displayed 24 "normal" sized cupcakes on it (not the giant gourmet sized ones), with a little extra room to spare. I had three on the top tier, but probably could have squeezed four onto it. It seems really sturdy once you get it assembled, as long as you're sure to push the stems into the plates fully. I don't know how heavy your top tier cake is, but as long as it's going to be sitting still, I'm sure it could handle the weight.

Yes and it's very sturdy. I just found it the perfect solution for my cake supplies.

Rack is light but sturdy enough to hold my 225lb weights that I bench press. I have placed rack against wall so it does not tip over. Use common sense and don't throw weight onto rack like you can at a gym were rack is bolted down. I have rack in the house not bolted to ground. It will move and slide if not placed against wall. Hope this helps! :)

I second that. I use my three racks a few times a week. The racks are very sturdy & stores anyway very easily. One of the best Amazon purchases I've ever made.

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.
