I'm making a 4 tier wedding cake for a couple at church. They are having a fall colored wedding with the theme "falling in love". The cake will be basketweave buttercream, with fondant leaves and stars. There will be a mmf drape from left to right (top-bottom tier).

I started the leaves today. I think I made about 50 of them so far, then I ran out of flower drying racks (those curved things I used in my Wilton course) so I've had to take a break. The wedding shower is tonight (thank heavens I'm not making the cake for that!)-I'm hoping to do another 50 flowers after the shower.

Good luck, post pix when done.

That's exciting!! Can't wait to see your cake!

Thanks for the well wishes. I've done all of the components on other cakes before so it will just be putting them all together in one cake. I've staked a 3 tier but never a 4. I'm lucky in that the wedding is at our church and I can use the kitchen there to finish decorating, stack and such anytime I want.

I'm still trying to figure out the timetable. I think I might do most of the icing/decorating at the church so I don't have to worry about transportation.

You will do a great job!! So is it the wedding this Saturday?

no-it's on the 24th

Sounds like it's going to be a really pretty cake.

You can use other things for leaf formers...crumpled foil, silicone muffin tins, the cardboard tube from a roll of paper towels, cut in half.

You can also buy some foam egg crate. that stuff really rocks!
