So, I would charge $50 rental fee and $200 deposit on this bad boy? I looked at old posts and thought this might be about right. Charge a rental fee plus a deposit to cover the cost of everything. That fountain is $73 alone! Not sure where to store all this stuff though once I get it back, but it will be good to have. Thanks.
Jealous, jealous, jealous, that's me right now! Wow, that's really "Old School". Is it a replica of a cake for an anniversary? My friend had a cake like that but that was 1987. She said she's going to have a replica of it for their 25th and she hopes all of us can squeeze into our Laura Ashley bridesmaid dresses again. I've got 4 years to find it and 4 years to get back in it.
You know though, as much as we laugh about these things everytime Michael's has a 40% or 50% off coupon in the paper, they're always out of those within a few hours after opening.
Thanks, guys. Indydebi, you CRACK ME UP!!! Bride just loves the look of it. I guess I'm OK with the rental stuff then. Oooh! Michaels and Joann's or HL coupons. Right! Again, after this, I should have a stand for everything.
Maybe she wants it as a "keepsake". You can always try to unload it on her. 
BTW will there be 9 attendants as depicted in the picture? Please post a picture of this wonderful cake in all it's fountain and staircase glory when it's completed.
Seriously, I asked the lady one time about the fountains and all because I thought I should get one, just to have on hand and she said that I would need to get there when they opened because they flew out of there like hotcakes. That was in Augusta, GA, and I asked here in VA if that was the same. The two cashiers both looked at each other and said that yes, they flew out of there as well although neither of them understood why.
i used to rent that kinda stuff....no one has wanted a fountain around here in years...
wow that cake is a whopper...how many did it serve?
Wow GI-normous! 
Those old school cakes certainly make a grand statement!
It looks like it would serve a lot more than 200!
Yes, I think you have your rental and deposit about right.
I bought a bunch of stuff from a bakery going out of business, incl 2 fountains and lots of stairs. I wonder if I will ever use them...

My thoughts, too; then today...my consultation couple wanted the fountain, side stairs and in her words, "little people to stand on the stairs." LOL.
I love it!
It reminds me of the Lemax display at Michael's, with all the minature people and stuff...I wish they had a Lemax for cake! You could have the mini-maids and and mini-groomsmen going up and down the stairs, dipping tiny cups into the fountain then pouring them back in....maybe even have them the bride throwing her bouquet off the top of the cake over and over and over again...
That'd be so cool!
i cant see the pic
I couldn't see it at first either - then I clicked on the little red "x" and it popped right up.
That cake reminds me of one at a wedding I attended years ago. There were stairs and fountains and lights all over the place. The bride's mother owned a cake supply store - go figure.
