This cake was originally supposed to be a 3 tiered cake (see 2 of 2 of Gigi's b-day cake). However this was my first attempt at 3 tiers and I didn't put enough support in the bottom so the whole thing started to sag. So I removed the top two tiers and improvised with the design of my now...two cakes :) I ended up loving the cakes very much. My original plans did change somewhat but that is what happens with the joys of cake decorating :) I did try to get the palm tree to stand up and I could not figure it out for the life of me!!! If anyone reads this and has any suggestions for my future endeavors with palm trees.....advice is welcome :)
