can anyone have an idea on how to achived that effect? I already have the information from CC on round cakes but this one as u see strat square. Do the bottom layer is tilted and do you think the tilting is an angule. The round layer is carved or there is such pan? Help this is my dream cake for my wedding.
Thank you lizette

I love this cake. I have NO idea how to acheive this look. Good luck. This has ot be one of my favorite cakes.

I think these are carved into those shapes.

I think the hourglass shape is carved. The boards under each cake are either support by a wedge or dowels to tilt them.

Is this cake real?, looks like styrofoam

That has GOT to be styrafoam under there!

Wow!

Only the bottom looks like real cake to me, the rest look like dummies.

Do you mean extended oak dowels, to lift the cake from the one tier to the other. Can you tilt each tier very drastic and covered with foundant then paint the bottom of the tier dark in an angle (fake space) and covered with flowers?

looking forward to seeing the cake.

To all guys who think it is a dummy styrofoam cake , it is. This cake has been in the shelves of his shoppe for nearly a year or more.That is when I first entered his website. It is an awsome cake and my wish is that chaniliz can recreate it for her wedding.

There is one similar somewhere in the photo gallery.. I believe it is red and black. Maybe you could pm the CC member who recreated to get some insight.

Wow, best of luck to you

How many did that cake feed? I need to make a whimsical cake for 350 people. I think the only way to do it is to have the sheet cakes on the side like that. Please help!!

Hello CCers:
I had to revive this thread because a potential customer sent this picture for a quote.
She wants the overall look with some minor changes on the color and the type of flowers.
I was planning to make the two top tiers of Styrofoam and the two bottom tiers (8â square+14â square) real cake.
I normally donât use dummies on my cakes but I donât think I could do the whole thing using cakesâ¦I would probably have a heart attackâ¦so I donât want to take the chance.

How much do think I should quote for this cake? 120 servings.
Thank you!

I'd charge the same as if the dummy tiers were real cake. But if someone wanted that cake, first I'd suggest they go to the original artist since I'm only 30 minutes away and then I'd quote no less than $10 a serving including the dummy tiers - hey, designer cake command designer prices and I'd be willing to bet I'm on the low side compared to what I think RBI would charge.
