I hope so! While I was setting it up today, an elderly gentleman approached me to let me know he was responsible for moving it later on that night. It was about 40-50 lbs. I nearly fainted! The lovely man was about 80 and quite tiny. I asked a waiter to make sure to help him!! I took a few extra photo of the cake "before" anything happens tonight. Now I won't sleep!!
I would estimate that the fondant is between 1/4" and 1/3" thick. It might seem thick, but it looks awesome and each guest only gets a little bit really...which they don't have to eat! My trick is to semi-freeze the cakes (2 to 3 hours) then fondant using a smoothing fondant paddle, NOT your hands, or you'll get those awful ridges that show every cake and filling layer inside..grrrrrrr!
