I love the glaze recipe GeminiRJ posted above. It dries so that you can stack the cookies once decorated, but the icing doesn't get rock hard like royal does. Can't wait to see pictures!
Yep. Cornelli lace and then the molds. Here is a writeup about the wedding where the cake was served:

It looks like the company that made...
It depends on what look you want. Do you care if the bands stick out from the cake, or do you want a smooth side? I'd probably use the wax paper method and use alternating stripes of grey and white to get a smooth edge. I've never heard...
You could try connecting with other vendors in the industry: photographers, florists, etc... They could recommend your cakes to their clients if asked and vice versa. You could also try to get into a bridal show, but those can be pricy...
