The design of this cake is elegant and chic. The reason why this cake is “over-the-top” is because of its size. The cake when completed was almost 6 feet tall. Between each layer of cake is a floral separator. This is a faux tier made of styrofoam, covered in green fondant. The sugar flowers are then set inserted into the stryrofoam, these are placed between each tier of cake and when doing so, doubles the height of the cake itself. We assemble the cake in the bakery to make sure it all goes together before being set-up on location. When packing this cake for delivery, it will be put in multiple boxes and assembled on sight.
