This was my first stacked cake, first time using shimmer dust and my first cake with thingies sticking out of it on wires. I had the help of an impatient 3 ½ year old so it was stacked a bit off center but we think it looks OK that way. We also had a fondant accident on the top layer so we ran a strip of black around it to cover. And I am not sure that my wire is stiff enough but itâs holding for now. All and all I am pleased with and learned a lot doing it.
