I was to do an eiffel tower cake for my sister's wedding but I want to know what support system should i use. I'm not able to post the picture but here is the website. www.thevegasweddingplanner.com I need all the jelp I can get.

TIA

Hmm I didn't see it on the front page, let me go back and look. How tall will it be?

I can't find the cake Hopefully you'll be able to post a pic.

I just wanna cry because I can't get the photo to upload. I will have to describe it. The bottom half looks like the bottom of the eiffel tower and there are four round tiers on the top. The cake is top heavy and not sure what support system to use to hold the the top tiers. i will keep trying to upload the pic.

Is it the eiffel tower one on this page: http://thevegasweddingplanner.com/2009/10/12/wedding-cakes-color/

That's not going to be any harder to support than any other stacked cake. Use dowels and boards or use SPS. Because of the weight you'll definitely want to assemble onsite, or at least transport it in several sections.

That's a ton of cake, if your sister's not inviting half the world, you might consider making the top section dummy cakes and then just making the bottom half cake.

Oh I can see it now...thanks Texas_Rose.

I would do the bottom out of styro dummies covered in fondant and than the top all cake so that the weight of the cakes would be supported by the styro foam base.

That doesn't look too difficult at all.

There will approximately 200 guests. Thank you to the ones that gave your input. It's much appreciated!

There was an eiffel tower cake posted here a week or so ago...www.cakecentral.com/gallery/2117147. I think there was a tutorial of sorts on how to do it.
