I love the look of the poofy fabric, can someone explain to me how it's done?

TIA!

might help if I include a pic!!

Here is a square one with directions... http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/album/559342164XIfVAw

Round is the same method as I use for the square ones. The link above it to my tutorial. Click on each picture for the explaination that goes with it. Good luck! I love the puffy bases. I have about 4-5 different sizes and shapes for my brides to pick from. If they want a different color, they supply the material and I make it. I charge them for the time, if they want it back. If they let me keep it, I dont' charge them for the time to make it. HTH

Ha ha -
How do, sewsweet2! Didn't know you were a member here.

Very nice tutorial.

i was there at the san diego cake club show and saw that cake in person. It really was beautiful and the stand really does make a difference. thank for sharing, cant wait to try it!

Here's another style from a talented Flickr member...less pouf-y, but still great looking...it's always been one of my favorites:
