four tiers of sparkle

this "wedding cake" stopped me dead in my flip flop tracks the other day...isn't it gorg? i think its purpose was really to show off the trims and appliques, since it was in the window of a fabric and bead store, but what an amazing display to use as centerpieces at an engagement party or bridal shower, don't you think?

of course you could do it for a wedding, but you don't want to take away from the real cake (or the bride, for that matter since these are so dazzling!) i think they'd be fairly simple to make (extremely easy if you commission someone else to make them). easier than when i tried to make many "cakes" covered in candy (see here for proof).

love!
