Beautiful cake.. Lovely presentation.. You did an excellent job.

I see it now. . .
But you made it very difficult for me to find any area to critique! 
The only thing would be to wrap the ribbon around the middle tier tighter. And to not keep it so close to the one before it, or else it looks smushed.
That's all I could really "pick on" since you made it impossible to find any legitimate reason to give "constructive criticism".
P.S. Was "constructive criticism" a pun?

No, it wasn't a pun. I think the dummies have a sharper edge and it makes the cake look like they were made with dummies instead of being real. Is there a way to fix that? Thanks!
Gorgeous and I love the stand. You did an excellent job on this cake. You can hold a styrofoam cake dummy in both hands, have the upper edge touching the countertop or table and roll it all the way around on the edge with just a bit of pressure to soften it or give it a more rounded look if you aren't happy with the sharp edge.
I think your cake is beautiful. I wouldn't change anything. But the idea about softening the edhe was a good one. With a real cake I trim the edge with scissors to soften it if needed. Though I do admire those who can get a nice clean sharp edge on an iced cake. Great job here!
The cake looks lovely. I just have one question, I have never used a stand like that, when you make this with a real cake, what kind of supports do you need to use, or is there something special to hold that stand and stop it from smooshing the cake underneath?
Does the stand have *feet* that go into the cake like the push in pillars??
cheers

I have used before on a real cake. A clear seperater plate goes under it and then you dowel it as normal. The one draw back is that the plate is ugly so you have to cover it with flowers or something. Thanks for looking and thanks for the compliments!
Your cake is really pretty! 
My only advise would be don't show people something you can't do. What I mean by that is, if you can't get a super sharp crisp edge with buttercream then you need to soften your dummy edges. (If you can then you are my hero! LOL) If a client sees your dummy and orders that cake for their wedding they might not be happy with the more rounded look of a real cake. This goes for any type of decoration. There are lots of thing I can do much better on a dummy. Just make sure that you can replicate it with real cake if a customer wants it!
Your presentation is great! Best of luck!
Well if it were me....I would back light the cake to set off the photo. You kind of lose the cake topper.
As a 8 x 10 photo it would be absolutely stunning.....but then don't listen to me, cuz on all my cake pictures they are down and dirty cuz I am too tired from creating the piece to take my time with the photo.

It is fondant and I actually asked how to soften the edges of the dummy so it looks more natural but so far nobody has given advice on how to do so. Thanks!

I felt the same way while taking the picture. I couldn't find any light that would work for a back light. 
. Oh well. Thanks for the comments!
Ok.. should have read better... to soften the edges you can just sort of roll it on you counter until you get a little less of a sharp edge. Other people use a nail file but I haven't tried that yet. You also can just use your fingers and smoosh it (if that makes sense) HTH

Thank you so much! I will try that on my next one!!!!!! It was the main thing I didn't like about my cake and you are the only one with an answer. Thanks!!!!!
