(drat and no website for the bakery!)
Yikes! 1982 called and wants its cake back!
Not my style, but for what it is it's nice. I'm sure the bride liked it if that's her thing!
Actually looks like the most work involved was baking so may cake! It looks to me to be decorated with nothing more than a ribbon aorund each tier and some fresh flowers. Don't mean it's not well done. Just lots of work setting it up. And think of the $$$ for all those pillars, plates and fountains!
I counted 22 (and assumed another for symmetry)
She's a CC member, I do believe....I don't get out much and I know her from somewhere...
well, I know mine do, and I guess the photographer's do too..
toes and fingers stop counting at 20! 
There are more photos of their cakes here.

Just for the record...I wasn't saying that to correct you nor the writer of the newspaper photo caption. It was more like...if 20 tiers was worth a wow! and a bow...it being more than that would be worth a holy cow!
All I can say is, "Um, wow."
You did better than me - all I can say is "EEEEEEEEWWWWWW".
goodness it would take almost as long to set all that up as it did to bake and ice the cakes, lol. the ribbon would be quicker than piping all the scrolls too. not crazy about the scattered look of it but stacking them all up would then look like jackie and heath's huge but gorgeous cake!!
I can't belive I'm seeing plastic pillars and cheese fountains i the year 2009, with all the info on the web and tv and magazines....

Looks like the many tier and fountains is kinda her thing.
Some people just want big even if it calls for plastic pillars I guess. Thats a lot of work, but are the layers a bit thin to you? Whew, never mind the cakes, Id charge $200+ to set all that up !
Why do we have to so critical! Maybe for some of you the fountains and pillar are out of date, but I still think it looks very tastefully done. There are customers who like these type of elaborate settings, and even though it would not be what I would like for my own wedding I would still do it if it is what the customer wants.
Please be nice!!

Just what I was gonna say. They all seem to follow the same theme. She does an amazing job setting up...except this one! All I could think was "TIMBER"!! http://local.yahoo.com/info-32230674-simply-heavenly-sweets-fayetteville?tab=photos#photos[/url]
It would stress me out that's for sure! WAY to many fountains for me, but she does a great job setting them all up and making them look great!
Wow, I'd just love the opportunity to do a large cake like that.
Fountains and pillars are out? Really? I did one just a couple of weeks ago.
I took the comment as meaning that many fountains and stacked cakes for one wedding. Maybe I'm mistaking. Something tells me indy that yours wouldn't look simple. I'm not saying this cake was simple by no means, but considering some of the cakes out there...I bet yours would be AMAZING indy!!!!

I can't stand pillars and fountains... I never said a word about the decorator or the work on the cake itself.

Pillars and fountains are old-fashioned, whether anyone wants to believe it or not, but there will always be someone who wants them. It's up to the baker to decide whether to do them or not (I don't, but I refer people to the bakery that does if they want that style!)
In my mind that style of cake would go with a wedding dress that had the poofy Princess Diana wedding dress sleeves...Very 1980's. (But they apparently still sell those dresses, too.)

Totally agree with you TOTALLY.
Her cakes look beautiful to me and her presentation is what really sets it off! She's also a wedding coordinator! I think that that's wonderful!
Whoa!! I'm sure they were stable, but I can just imagine someone bumping the table and having a domino effect...the way they are all lined up in a row 
She did a great job with the cakes...for all we know, fountains and pillars aren't her taste either!

I got a grand total of 24 after looking at the 2nd link. It's not my personal taste either but I'm sure the bride & groom loved it.
I just did my very first tall pillars, fountain and bridge cake ever since I started. It took me forever to set up and the cakes were already decorated. I give this lady alot of credit. And I agree I will do whatever the customers wants!!
Thanks Doug.
Thanks dsilvest. 
The photo of the cake from the front, instead of the side really shows it off to perfection in all its symmetry.
Her other cakes are also all beautiful. (And the table decorations are gorgeous.)
Can understand why she doesn't have a website, she's probably too busy!!!!
