ok, need a little input...
the wedding cake for saturday the bride wants cornelli lace on the bottom and top tier, and the tier in between just the dots.
i showed her this beautiful cake done by cakemommy- (i hope you dont mind. it is beautiful and i did my first wedding cake for my SIL with this as my guide, with cakemommy's permission)
the bride does not prefer the ruffle swag around the cake seperating the cornilli lace from the smooth part.
so my 2 questions- what other border would look nice with this design other than the ruffle. not so "girly?" i guess.
and the other would be- would it be too much and not look right if the whole bottom and top tier were done completly in cornelli lace?
here is the link to the cake, and i tried to attach a picture of it also.

maybe do less dots if your going to cover a whole tier in cornelli lace
I just love this cake - it's currently in my favs. Yes, I think you could do all cornelli lace on both of the layers - it would look fine with the middle layer dots. However, that is a lot of cornelli to do!! Or, you could also separate the cornelli from the smooth with a dotted (or pearl) border which would give it a different look then dust the dots/pearls with luster dust. Just a couple of suggestions. Good luck on this beautiful cake! 
if it wouldnt take away from the cake itself. i thought maybe a dot border but wasnt sure how it would look Your cake will look beautiful w/the top & bottom tiers completely covered in cornelli. Many, many people have done similar
If the bride wants some smooth part on those sides, then make it a straight line about 1/2 way down rather than scalloped and no border is needed.
ok PAULAT, i think i will go with the dots. i guess you posted about the same time i did i have never used luster dust. i will see if my husband can pick me up some today where he iw working. quite a drive from me. how do you dist is on, i have never used it before. and does it come in colors. if so, what color, like a silver. there will be a burnt orange color ribbon around the cake layers
Another option would be to just do a line (like a drop string) with a star tip.
For this cake I used tip 18 to separate the sotas lace from the smooth part of the cake: http://www.geocities.com/magdacakes/MDWed.html
