2 1/2 tier chocolate cake with cookies n cream filling. Whole cake is edible including the 7 towers. Sugar plaque made with gumpaste and royal icing roses/leaves.
alf5854, the towers were extra cake in which i "cut out" using plain cutters ( or scone cutters) and stacked how ever many i needed to get the required height. I "glued" the little stacked cakes with buttercream then i skewered the whole tower with a wooden skewer/satay stick/kebab stick and pushed it through the cake. i also placed another stick, sticking out of the tower so that the sugar cones can rest on the stick ( inside) so the cones would have some support should it be knocked. thanks.
Thank you. bottom cake is 10" and the middle tier is 6" cake. top tier is half a 6" becoz i had to make room for the two figurines. this gave quite a 3D effect, but personally I wouldn't use the 3 towers on a half 6" cake again coz transporting such a tall cake (with the towers made of cake) was not stable.
