This is a wedding cake I am replicating next month. Except using a different variety of flowers/colors.

My question is what is the best way to stack this cake? And how would the best way for the supports be done? The most difficult part of it is that it will not be covered in fondant. It will be buttercream >.>

Hmmm - that is an interesting design and curious myself. My first guess would be that there are supports hidden by the flowers, but not sure how to build that. Sorry I couldnt be more help.

That is interesting, but heres a question. This is my first cake i would be doing with a center rod. When that rod would be going through the cake at an angle, and you have your cake on a cardboard, how do u get the rod through the cake?

You can achieve it one of two ways. You can buy or make a similiar pvc pipe construction like Bronwen sells at Cal Java called Cake Study. Or you can achieve it using styrofoam wedges inbetween. The flowers actually hide the styrofoam.

you can keep the cake from sliding by "glueing" each tier in place and using a center dowel. I have made a cake like this and it works.
