This was my first three tiered with pillars but the dots, ribbon, and daisies were nothing new. I did something different for the base this time. Usually I just cut some foam board and cover it in fondant but this time I hot glued six cake circles together and put ribbon around the edge. I thought that was good because it was easier to handle without ruining the cake but it showed a contrast between the true white of the cake circle and the off white of the fondant. Overall this cake was fun and definitely getting easier and less time consuming. I hope the bride liked it. This bride sent me an email a month ago asking for a cake but I told her I was busy this weekend (we are hosting some youth for youth conference and I thought it would be too crazy to try to do a cake too) but she emailed me back and schmoozed me with her flattering words - so I caved... It all worked out though because I had the cake done Thursday and Kevin took care of all the youth stuff. What I like about this cake is the square tier- I think its fun to mix it up like that. You can't see the topper very well in the pictures but the bride provided that and it's quite nice.
