I agree with all of you about the dummy cake tier – they are expenisve to purchase and are just as tedious and time consuming to decorate – however, I suggested using it because it would make the cake look bigger – perhaps not as impressive as a 3, 4, or 5 tier cake, but certainly nicer than a 1 tier cake.

Stick to your bride’s budget and make the nicest cake you can – there are many great molds of swags and ribbons that can be added to the cake to make it wedding-like. Post a picture! :))))
