This is my first tiered/wedding cake I've done. It was a gift to my brother and sister in law. I had no idea the time (and oven space) to bake an 18", 14" 10" and 6' into layered cakes. Yet, they were very appreciative, so that makes it all worth it. The picture I went from was iced with fondant, yet my brother wanted buttercream. I smoothed the edges to make it look rounded. A viva paper towel was a great help. The ribbon was easy to put on. The silver pearls were made of fondant and luster dust.

So it's iced with buttercream? It looks wonderful. I happened to notice that the design on the cake very closely resembles the design on the tablecloth. Beautiful work!

This really turned out beautifully. I love the colors and all I can say is that I hope my first wedding cake turns out this well. :D :D

Well I used a roller (similar to a pizza dough roller) a few minutes after I put on the buttercream. You dont want to wait to long or it will be too dry and crack.

It did smooth out nice thanks to a roller, I wish I could find metal pans that are smooth around on the edges with straight sides. Any ideas??
