So orginally I was going to make the cake myself to keep costs down but Ive now realised that its a crazy idea! Now my thoughts are to use dummy tiers?!
I'd like a three tier cake and to use the dummies on the bottom and the top meaning that we can still cut the middle one. Then buying the slabs of cake to serve to the guests. I'll get someone else (a friend of a friend) to make the middle tier and ice all three, then i'll stack them and decorate with fresh flowers.
Has anyone else used them before or is thinking about doing it??
