The link as you posted it is not clickable. I tried to cut and paste but couldn't figure out which of your characters needed deleted to get it to work.
Can you do another cut-n-paste of the link without the extra characters?
LOL! We were posting the stuff at the same time! I kept wondering why it was taking so long. I'm gonna go see if you found the same pic as me.

That one is really pretty too!!
yes, that is the right cake! thank you!
I was thinking it was a 14" at the bottom too I think I was a little stumped on the middle for some reason I was thinking it was an 8" I want to make this cake.. .it's so pretty!
so I dont need that much cake.... has anyone made a Styrofoam dummy cake before? I'm thinking I should do that for the bottom tier but not really sure how to go about doing that
You could use a styrofoam cake - but most people charge the same amount for a dummy cake because it still uses fondant and still takes a lot of time to decorate.
What if you just made a smaller cake. I like a 6, 9, 12. Or a 6, 8, 10?
I am actually making this cake for an engagement party I am planning and I dont want to have a lot of left over cake, I am thinking the dummy cake would be the bottom teir and it is fairly plain so I wouldn't be wasting a whole lot of time on it. Is it as simple as covering styrofoam with fondant or how does it work?

It's pretty simple. You just want to put buttercream or water on your styrofoam and then you'll just drape your fondant over the styrofoam.
Roll it pretty thick and watch the top edges. They tear super easy from where it's a harder material to work with.
You might have to roll it out and drape it a few times before you get it to work.
Good luck!
No problem! Some people even put packing tape around their dummy to prevent it from discoloring and to help get it off easier.
