Thread Starter 

A friend asked me to make her a 3 tier wedding cake, the tiers will be 12"/8"/6" carrot cake with nuts covered in fondant with a christmas theme.The wedding will be on Dec 22. Its my first tiered cake I'm planning on using SPS if I can find it, but I've been wondering what to use in case I don't find it? I really want it to be sturdy so if you can give me any advice I'll be thankful. Also I'm planning on making fondant poinsettias but can't seem to find a tutorial of a realistic looking one, would appreciate help with that too. icon_smile.gif

What I use is mildshake straws (bubble straws)  between each layer and drive a strong wood dowel through the middle.  Never had any problems even with a 5-tier cake.

Some minds are like concrete
Thoroughly mixed up and permanently set.

SPS is EASY to find.  Just read my signature line.

If you order the SPS system you should get their phone number and call due to a whole lot of people's credit cards being compromised.  You will be glad you got the SPS system!!!  If you order now, you will get before the wedding. I am sure you will do fine with the cake. Just focus on what you are doing and don't get nervous!!! OWN THE CAKE!!!  You can do it!!! Keep the faith!!!
