7 tier dummy wedding cake for our local Register of Deeds who provides complete wedding setups for couples who can't afford a regular wedding. They provide everything, including a dummy cake to pose with on Valentines Day. Yesterday they provided weddings for 17 couples:). I designed and made this cake for them as my contribution. The tiers are 6", 8", 10", 10" corset, 12", 14" and 16" . Covered using Wilton fondant. The base was one I made using glass candle holders to provide height to allow for the beaded trim to hang correctly. Everything on the cake is handmade, including the vase. There are a lot of cakes I took inspiration from, including Susan Trianos for her billowing technique. This was really the biggest challenge for me personally and I will use it for upcoming Bridal Shows and who knows, maybe a cake competition:) Thanks for looking!

4 alternating layers of vanilla pound cake and chocolate cake, iced using Sugarshack's icing recipe, and covered with fondant using Wilton fondant and Duff's fondant mix. Canopy was made from fondant/gumpaste/gumtex mix. I made a styrofoam shape to allow the mix to dry in the shape needed to fit the top of the cake. I used 5 wooden dowels around the bottom of the canopy to keep the canopy in place and then royal icing to attach the canopy to the top of the cake, and royal icing to attach all the decorations: flowers, pearls, ruffles and rope trim. I used the largest Wilton oval cake pan to make the cake layers. I used a Martha Stewart scrapbooking punch to make the eyelet ruffle around the cake bottom and to trim the canopy. This cake was previously posted by mariateresa and I absolutely fell in love with it and had to make it. A lot of work, but so worth it. and client loved it. Thanks for looking:)
