This was design by the bride-when first approached,the cake in the sketch looked like two 4" cakes and a larger(in diameter) tier on the bottom. What eventually transpired was this. The cakes from top to bottom are: 6" double barrel,8" double barrel,single layer 12" diameter,18" double barrel cake dummy.All except the 2" layer are done in buttercream! The flavor from top to bottom was vanilla caramel(My new fave :LorAnn caramel)4 dozen cuppies with fondant roses accompanied the cake around the base. The venue is an art gallery.TFL!!
A sweet little reveal cake with pastel loopy bows and dots to match.9" vanilla cake.Interesting side note-the cake’s reveal tecnique was the color of the vanilla cake(pink),but I had people ask me if it was strawberry or cherry after they’d eaten it.

I did the top plate days in advance so it would dry and they could remove it for slicing ease(top was 50/50 gumpaste and fondant),buildings around the outside were varying shades of brown fondant with impessions of brick,wood,stone,blue buttercream. Cake was also half white and half chocolate.TFL
