What do you think of this?

I dont have the drawing online yet, but try to picture this and tell me what you think of this...

Its a 6 layer wedding cake.



the bottom layer is an octagon covered in purple ribboning.(that frosting that looks like someone drooped satin over the whole thing.)



the second layer is directly on top, diamond shaped, and is plain purple with a two skinny silver ribbons going around the bottom edge.

on top of this is 4 wine glasses with flowers in them holding up the 3rd layer,

which is a small octagon to the left with 2 small diamonds to the right.(so 2 wine glasses holding up the octagon, 1 each holding up the diamonds, they form a square). The octagon has those Pirouette cookies in a diagonal latticed pattern with violets in each of the diamond shapes it makes. The diamonds are edged in silver frosting pearls, and covered in purple sugar with silver hearts outlined in each. facing side.

I think you have wayyyyy too much going on with that cake! Purely from a design perspective, this cake is a nightmare and it will not be pleasing to the eye.

But if you want this, just do it. It will still taste good!
Reply:I'm very confused. A drawing/pic would be fab.
Reply:would love to see pics of it before it is cut into. sounds beautiful. i love evrything purple so you had me at purple.

congrats.
Reply:I actually love it! I think it sounds very unique and interesting. My only concern would be the structural stability of doing a cake like this. I think it would be in your best interest to get the opinion of several cake bakers and ask them if this would be possible. I only say so because my mom is a cake baker and we have attempted some pretty crazy cakes structurally...some have worked...some didn't so to speak lol. You just don't want the cake toppling over halfway through the reception. I still think it is an amazing idea and very creative. Good luck with actually making the concept a reality...I would love to see pictures of the finished product if you go through with it!



Edit: I just wanted to add, I'm not sure of the look you are going for, but something I think might be interesting would be on the top layer to use those edible cake art pages. They are a thin sugar thing that you can have printed with anything and put right on the cake. Anyway, what I thought might be interesting is to print off in different fonts and sizes a sheet for each side of the cake. So like rows of I love yous in the different languages...if that makes sense.
Reply:I think this sounds amazing, it is everything I would want in a cake. I hope your day is wonderful, congrats!!
