This is a dummy cake that I made to show one of my best friends. I have decided to make her upcoming wedding cake as a gift and this is one of the designs that we chose. The original design is by Cecile Gady of Cakework, San Francisco and was a 4 tier all ivory round. Please give me your honest opinion. Her colors are ivory, pastel yellow and persimmon. The wedding is in early spring, 2007 and I want to try out a few designs first. Thanks!!!!

Sophisticated and elegant.
The bride chose wisely when she asked you to do the cake.
Great job!
Have you and the bride talked about cake flavors/fillings yet.
Bet she chooses something unique for that as well.
Please keep us posted 
P.S. Love the cake stand.
I think the overall cake is fine. You might try making the strips on the cake a little more even and straight. Some are wider. I am not real fond of callalilies, but I see that perhaps some stargazer lilies in the tones of the colors would look nice to me. It is just a matter of preference. Good Luck with your cake.
I think it looks good....one thing that catches my eye, tho--the joins (?) in the tiers. I can see shadows there, and that tends to detract from the color scheme. Could you add a tiny ribbon or pearls or rope?
Other than that, it's a very nice cake. Clean lines, good proportion, modern design. I really like the colors....I'd call it elegant. LOL
Take that with a grain of salt, tho...I'm certainly FAR from an expert, and really hated to be so blunt.

Thanks everyone. JanH, we haven't discussed flavors or fillings yet b/c we're still trying to decide on the actual design. She is a very easygoing person and was floored when I offered to make the cake since I am in the wedding and will be flying from Louisiana to Wisconsin to attend. She says she didn't want to ask for anything else b/c of the travel. As soon as she picks out other designs, I'll make dummies for those as well so that she can have a choice. I fell in love with this stand at the Viking Outlet in Destin and this is the first chance I've had to actually use it.
The lines are somewhat uneven because I didn't have a large enough square cutter but I plan to buy one before the wedding to avoid the problem. Again, thanks everyone for the comments/constructive criticism!!!!
its a really lovely cake! one thing u can consider is making the centres of the lilies a stronger color. that is if ur gonna use them
hi i'm no expert i think the cake looks great, although i do agree with riana on the lillies maybe you could alternate the colors.
yellow for orange
orange for yellow
that way i think they would really stand out as they are alot of the focus on a wedding cake
