There has to be some sort of spatial trick to this. Maybe it's because I've been up over 24 hours now but I am out of ideas. The second tier of a 4 tier cake is just slightly off. There are some flowers on the tier above it and I'm wondering if there is some trick that will make it appear level by strategically placing some flowers. No one else has noticed that it is off until I mentioned it but I really wanted this cake to be perfect and it was the one tier I didn't double check with a level (go figure)

Yes, frankly you can disguise a lot with flowers. Interestingly, you put the flowers on the high side and that takes that reference line away.

Sadly, yes, I've done this more than once.,

Hold the flowers on the high side and get back as far as you can to visually check what I'm talking about. BEFORE you stick them in.

Thanks guys. That's exactly what I was trying to figure out but it wasn't making sense.
