Hello. I don't want to tie up the computer with soo many photos... but basically my question is
1) I have a bunch of hydrangea. I would like to put the blossoms on the bottom of the cake (the cake stand would be on some small pegs and the hydragea would float underneath the cake. Full Blooms. Cake "sits" on the blooms.)
2) Is Colette Peter's wedding basket too busy (Mind you I wouldn't have the sugar/gum paste flowers at all... no added florals other than the hydrangeas on the bottom.)
3) Is a smooth cake better for "floating" on hydrangeas, or should I go with some other design listed.
If these are too many photos, please feel free to email me and I'll remove them... or you can if you know how to delete this post. No offended at all... still learning forum procedures and all... want to be a nice forum neighbor.
See how the hydrangeas are on the bottom and the cake appears to float on the blooms. That is the effect I'm seeking... The cake, however, I don't think should have blooms in the middle of the tiers. Makes it Wedding Cake.
Three tiers, stacked, no space between.
Or
Which would be the best? 
Colette, or plain round stacked?
That's nice. That's really nice. I may do a mockup of that...
Appears to be fondant with fondant square overlays?
First critique will be the uniformity of the squares. Uniformity is the key to aesthetics, ....
You know, I think it was Davinci or Michaelangelo who was given a test. The board or whatnot of whoever asked the students/challengers to produce something that proved they were professional artists or whatnot...
You know what he drew?
A circle. Freehand.
Thing is, drawing a circle... a real bonafide 360degree circle ... freehand
is HARD.
I gotta have a small pan to cut out these squares.... Using a knife on a template is asking for trouble. It just doesn't come out uniform... I don't care how careful I am)
It was DaVinci. I believe the story goes that he was trying to prove himself as an artist. So he drew the hardest thing a person can draw - a perfect circle. It's near impossible to do.
The squares don't necessarily have to be uniform, but they do need to be unified. The best way to make sure that everyone things your design is aesthetically pleaseing? - Make sure it's symetrical.

I love it when my degree comes in handy in unexpected places! 
Thank you clb307,
Pulled that out of a rusty drawer in my ole' noggin'
It is true the smipliest things are sometimes the hardest to perform?
I notice this on my piping skills. I try very hard to be uniform in size, depth, and texture.
Being I consider myself a cook, not a baker or decorator... it is quite a challenge.
I usually have others make the cakes when I design a party or something. But soo many times the cake costs an outrageous fee or the taste or design is bland.
I just became determined to find middle of the road, beautifulfly designed, tasteful cakes at price less than one's car note. And I don't mean a mercedes note either lol
