This is the greatest cake ever. how did you do it? I thought it was impossible to balance all the tiers like that.

Thank you, it was an S shaped cake stand and I covered it with icing ivy and fushia's, I just copied it from a book and taught myself how to make icing flowers and paint with icing to make it look like embroidery, I didn't know it was going to be this style when I offered to make it though, I nearly had a fit! lol

no, self taught! I got a book from the library and copied the pictues, it took ages, the caterers asked if I wanted to cut it and when I said no, they were really pleased that I trusted them with my cake!
