In community album: Round Wedding Cakes
This cake was an absolute nightmare :P The bride wanted it 7" tall, and after researching I decided that i should put a support board and dowels after the bottom 3.5". I used bubble straws the... ahem... first attempt, but the cake was carrot cake and was too heavy and it collapsed on itself at 1:30 AM the day the cake was due.... SO i started from scratch, worked all night and day and delivered this beauty at 5:00 PM. It turned out ok, but I don't know if I'll ever want to do another wedding cake. 

The fondant was also a little tricky! The bride wanted these vertical lines like a cake she saw in a magazine (i think decorated with buttercream and a comb), but with fondant. I'm happy I got to make this cake for her, but sad that I underestimated how stressfull it would be!

I think you did a great job. The final product looks very clean. Experience was priceless wasn't it? Don't let the nightmare keep you from making others. Even the best of them have times such as these. :D
