Hi I have been asked to make the cake below and would love some advice. On the second tier do you think the design is from Wafer Paper or painted on the design. Please note I don't usually copy designs from another decorator and will only be using elements of this cake which I absolutely adore but haven't been able to locate any info to be able to credit the decorator. Also has anyone had any success making a Fondant Tepee Topper? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Don't have any advice but I can tell you who the decorator was.  It is Avalon Cakes.  http://avaloncakes.com/gallery/wedding/

AI'm pretty sure Avalon hand painted the second tier. She's awesome at hand painting and airbrushing! (Just be sure to credit Avalon for the design inspiration if you post yours on your photo set. :)

Ait looks to me like the design was part painted then with candy clay or fondant overlaid --
