I am doing a small wedding cake which the bottom is 12" round and the top is 8" round. I used a cake circle that already had some foil on it for the bottom tier, which is now done. I was just getting ready to do the top tier when I realized I don't have foil to match the bottom tier. IF I just use the plate itself, which is white, I wonder if the people would notice they don't match or should I find a plate that is 8" so it just fits the cake and it wont' show. Or does anyone else have any ideas. I am using the crystal leg set and had the plate 10" for the 8" cake. Very frustrating to be so stupid.

What kind of foil is on the bottom board? Are the tiers sparated by pillars? If they are stacked, just make sure your board doesn't show from under the
top layer. If you are using pillars, put it on a board the same size as the cake and then set it on the separator plate. If you are putting a border around the 8 inch, you probably will have to use the 10 inch plate if it is on pillars.

Hope that makes sense.

Yes the cake is on pillars, the twisted crystal ones. I do not think that my border will come close enough to the edge so the white plate doesnt show. I may have to do like you said, use the 8" plate under the 8" cake so nothing will show. The border will have to go up the sides alittle bit.
