Real Working Waterfall Wedding Cake
Decorating By vivedcreations Updated 13 Feb 2007 , 10:44pm by cake-angel
I had a wedding cake consultation yesterday and the couple wants a hexagon cake with a real working waterfall running down the front. I have some ideas how to achieve this but wanted to know if anyone had ever done anything like this or had any ideas how to accomplish this. I think it will be a REALLY fun cake if I can make it work!
The cake will have 3 tiers. Bottom two stacked and the top elevated with pillars. They don't care whether the pillars are push in or used with separator plates.
Colors are up to me but they want it all to go together with the waterfall theme.
TIA!

I found this one in the gallery it was made by waterfallsoygurl
do you happen to live in the Kansas city area? I had the same kind of consultation a few weeks ago. hexagon with a working waterfall, the fish tank air hoses behind the table? the water fall to be made of pvc pipe?
I had another cake that came up on the same day.
good luck with this one

Thanks for the link, that is great! Gives me some ideas. I am south of KC. I'm going to do some "construction" this weekend to get a visual idea in me head.
any progress on this cake? i'm so anxious to see the finished product!!
We have been working through the design right now, making sure the water won't hit the cake, etc. We have the actual "waterfall" built now, just this last weekend, just working out the details now, what to use for the pump, flowers, etc.. I am doing a bridal show next month and I will setup a cake dummy with the waterfall...I will post pics then. It is pretty cool!!!
The cake for the actual wedding is going to be pretty simple as far as design, just diamond impression on the sides with coral dots in the corners of the diamonds and coral and white roses in between the top and middle tiers. I'm not sure if I will do that or something different on the cake dummy. Probably something a little different just so I can have another picture of a different design.
It actually ended up being pretty easy to build, but luckily my stepdad had a lot of the tools we needed, including the right size pump!
I'll post pics soon!
I can't wait either. That sounds like an awesome cake design!
