Had a plan for a shower cake for a friend at work- now the shower will be for another co-worker as well. Already started making gumpaste decorations (shoe and bows and calla lillies)- so wanted to keep the same theme. I wanted her to have the option of keeping the top tier with the gumpaste shoe, etc. intact- she's having a small family shower and they are not having a cake for her there- 'Mom' didn't think she needed it- long story. So I still want to have the small top tier separate for her to maybe have at the other shower.But wondered how it would look to have two small round tiers on a bottom round. Would be open to other suggestions. I don't want to slight the other girl- so want the two to be the same. Making two whole is way too much cake. Also wanted the cake to have a wedding cake feel because 'Mom' is just having sheet cakes for the wedding- she's upset about that.
Thanks. Yah, she's bummed about the whole wedding cake issue- I even offered to do it for cost, but Mom had other ideas. I think Mom is punishing her because she did the baby first thing! Oops!
Anyway, to add the other girl to the cake I think I'll offset my layers, and add a second gumpaste shoe on the lower level too. The lining of each shoe has the bride-to-be's name on it. Hope it doesn't look too crowded. I may have to go with a 10 inch bottom layer to give me some extra room.
Any suggestions welcome!
