If I were you, I'd wait till I had a few minutes free then google wedding cake stacking tutorial and watch it two or three times over until you could do it in your sleep. MMF colors well with gel colors. Drops will add moisture to the MMF and make it sticky. Decorations from the same batch of fondant is perfectly fine. All the best to you.
