I would like to make a 2 tiered cake, a 6inch round lemon angel type white cake with cream cheese icing with some lemon in it, stacked on a red velvet 8inch with cream cheese icing with vanilla flavoring. Both of these covered in fondant (because I really want to try the fondant thing) and then decorated with roses and periwinkle (whatever colour that is suppose to be?!?!?) flowers with gum paste pears around the bottom

will this taste ok?
do I use some cream cheese icing to stick the pearls onto the fondant, or should I make something else for gluing

THis is a free cake for a coworker and I have never stacked a cake before. I thought the angel cake on top would weigth to much but will it hold up fondant. I am guessing I should dowl it. Do you put the dowel thru the fondant the top cake the cake board and try and cover the holes with flowers?

any help would be great.
thanks

Hi -- from my understanding of what you have written above you could use fondant on the bottom cake but I would not use it on the angel cake. Angel cakes will deflate under all the weight of the fondant. You would need to switch to a heavier style cake like a butter cake or pound cake. Even a box mix using the extender recipe would work.
You need to dowel the bottom cake where the top cake will sit to support the weight of the top cake and then set the top cake on its board onto the dowels. For transporting you can use one large dowel through the center of the whole cake for support and hide the holes with decorations.
I hope that helps.
