Vanilla cake cut and had carved into stars. The bottomw star measures 14" and goes down to 4 1/2 on the top. Time consuming but cute. This specific design was created by the client and asked me to make her design in the rainbow colors. A bit of a challenge as it was carved without a pan or stencil or anything. I think Wilton should come up with pans like their other 4 tier sets to match this STAR design. Just thinking......
