Is it just me or do those "roses" look suspiciously like lilies? How would you like to have to place those top tiers!

I think the roses are white (so hard to see) all around the borders. Could you imagine making that many? Even with a team of people, just the sheer # of almost 10,000 is daunting! Think I'll stick my little ole' cakes. icon_smile.gif

I believe the roses make up the pink border around the base of the cakes. Pretty darned impressive project I'd say. And very attractive from a distance. I don't care for the lillies but it's an awesomely huge cake. I'd get tired cutting and plating though..................

Now I KNOW that this had to be a remarkable undertaking and tremendously difficult in the work involved, but when I look at that thing, all I can think of is WalMart sheet cake x 5000. I'm impressed by its size, but that's it.

Like I already said, impressive in size and attractive at a distance. I don't imagine transporting this was a problem since I'm sure it was moved in pieces and assembled on site. It IS after all just sheet cakes with pillars between. How hard is that? It probably has threads in the pillars to secure them together so it can's topple over easily. It looks like they used pipe. Whatever it's made of I imagine it's custom made for this cake. It's not like something one would have lying around, right? And look at all the people standing around gawking! Heck, I might be too if I heard there was going to be a giant cake intown. LOL

I'm just wondering at the poor sap who gets to eat one of the pieces off of the bottom tier where their shoes are. I honestly don't want to take away from the enormity of this thing because it still must have been difficult, but my first response was "ew".

hmm I was more impressed by the cakes on the Food Network Awards competition last night...... topsy turvy and tall and detailed and absolutely amazing! This is big.... but yeah, that's all it is.
