I'm VERY pleased with it. I went to the hall this morning and set it up--took pics of it just to prove that it was perfect when I left--hopefully it will still be that way by 4:00 pm! It's constructed in a very sturdy manner, though, so I'm confident that it will hold up well.
Peacock and Debbie--I did go with Option #4--you were right about moving the iced 12" cake, too daunting of a task. It's actually completely different than the original plan being that I ended up stacking it instead of pillaring it--but it would have been the same decoration-wise, just on pillars between the tiers.
I have learned so much from my fellow decorators here, through your ups and downs, beautiful cakes and even disasters---thank you to all!!
There is a pic of the complete cake and of the detail scrolling. Notice that I "hid" the couples' monogram in the scrolling. Here it is.

Hi llj68
Love your wedding cake. I think it came out great. keep up the good work.
Wow that turned out great! I know you're happy to have it finished. Isn't it great when you can finally put down your frosting bag, back up, and say "it's done!" I bet they will all love it! Congrats to you!!!
Absolutely Beautiful!!! I bet the bride and groom just loved it, not to mention the guests. You certainly should be proud of your work. I haven't made a wedding cake myself, but I hope when I finally do get the courage to do one it will be just as gorgous as yours!!!!
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful LISA!!! Great work!! Be proud of yourself!!
Lisa, I just went to your photo gallery & realized that this was your first wedding cake... WOW!!!!!!!!! I'M SO PROUD OF YOU!!!!!! Girl, keep up the great work!!! You'll get a lot of cake orders from that wedding cake!! Marvelous work!!!
It is absolutely gorgeous!! You should feel very proud of yourself!!!
Simply gorgeous!!!! Take a bow, you deserve it.
Thanks you guys!! I was actually at the reception and it was just fine when I got there--even with the train tracks being 100 yards away! Yikes!!
The bride and groom loved it and I can honestly say that it tasted great!! The people at the reception were practically rushing the wait staff for seconds! Good thing it was a bit big for the number of guests.
I handed out my phone number to 2 people and my step-mom said she handed out my number to a few more. We'll see how that goes.
Anyway, thanks again for all your support.
Lisa

I used 14", 12", 8" and 6". The top tier was not served.
Thanks!!
Lisa
BEAUTIFUL!! Pat on YOUR back! TcTurtle is right...you will most definitely get lots of orders from this wedding!!
Great job!!! Love the fresh flowers!
By the way, did you ice the cake w/BC or is that fondant??
It was iced completely in bc and smoothed as smooth as I could possibly get it. It took WAY longer to smooth it than it did to decorate it! lol! At least I didn't have to worry about smoothing the tops as they were covered with cake and flowers.
On the top tier, I made a heart with the bride and groom's momogram again. I thought it would be fun as something that only they would see.
Thanks!!
Lisa
