This cake was HUGE. . .for a wedding of 125 guests! The tall middle section and the bottom two tiers were styro. I had two 12" round kitchen cakes since the middle section would've been too heavy for me to lift up there together if it was real cake, as the piping had to be done at home. Different shades of metallics from champagne to copper. I LOVED how this came out. I am deathly afraid of piping because I never really get a chance to practice it, but I think it looks fine. The bride found the picture of the cake in a magazine, so if anyone knows the original artist (who's cake was waaay more beautiful), I would love to acknowledge her/him on my website. Thanks!
