First I want to thank everyone that has helped me with this cake. It was a struggle but not to bad for my first real wedding cake.
My partner and I worked very well together and although there were a few gliches I think it came out not too bad.
Oh the lemon cake was terrible to do. We ended up baking three cakes as they kept sinking in the middle. The oven was at 350. I used great pans so that wasn't it and it bake for 50 minutes (give or take). It was all the way baked but for some reason the middle kept sinking. Any ideas?
Once we finished it and delivered it (an hour away), I ended up forgetting to bring the top layer of cake. Thank god I was delivering it early. Shoot me in the head! Well all ended well though I arrived early for the wedding and brought the top layer with me and finished the cake.
I learned quite a bit of lessons with this one! First, I definately have to practice more on making it square and level. Second, the fondant wasn't that hard but still needs to be practiced. Third, I definately need to keep my cakes cold as they are very moist.
And is it bad that the cake got more attention then the bride and groom? OMG, you would have thought the party was all about the cake. I had someone ask me the price of the cake, they said $600. I'm clueless any ideas?
Anyway for some reason I can't reduce it so it's in my photos and thanks again for everyones help on this one.
).Great job, I'm glad everyone liked it!!! 
I thought they were real roses! When I read that they were chocolate - I couldn't believe it. Fantastic job!

You did an awesome job!!! I love the roses. They look so real. That cake would be at least $600.
How many servings was the cake in all? I would have to say that with the fondant and buttercream and fillings, it would be worth atleast $3.50 per serving, maybe even more because of all the time the chocolate roses take. It also depends on the area you live.
For some reason, I always seem to have problems with lemon cake too! I still have not figured out why.
What a great cake! Was this your first time using fondant?? It looks fantastic!
beautiful! I can only hope to be that good one day.
