    To resume all the measures: the 4 cakes are 12", 10", 8" and 6" diameter and each of them 4" high.
    The styrophome separators are 8", 6" and 4" diameter, 2" smaller than the cake above and each of them are 4" high. Please confirm if this is correct!!
    Do you know the weight of each cake? This would really help me as I need to make a cake of 15 kg and so I need to find the right meaurments. The diameters and width of each cake should be in proper size to teach 15 kg alltogether ( without the weight of flowers and separatorts).
    Have a nice day and hope you can help out with a good advice.

    Thank you for this tutorial. My daughter is wanting a floating floral tier for her wedding cake and this is the only tutorial I could find to carry it off. She is just wanting one floral tier. The cake dimensions will be 12", 10", 8" and 6", with the 10" tier being the floral tier. Do I need to put dowels in the cake dummy that will contains the flowers? I've never used a dummy before so I'm not sure if they are capable of holding the weight of the upper tiers. Thank you!

    • @SweetieDarlingCakes
      @SweetieDarlingCakes  6 лет назад +1

      Hi Kathleen! No, the dummy is a really dense polystyrene and won’t need dowels ☺️ Good luck with the cake! xx

      SweetieDarlingCakes thank you so much for this! I have a wedding cake with a dummy as a separator at the base and I've been pulling my hair on wether to dowel the styrofoam dummy as well. I was afraid that the 5 tiers will crash the styrofoam.... so the tiers doesn't matter as far as the cake underneath have dowels? Thanks

  • @stephaniewitham836
    @stephaniewitham836 2 года назад

    I want to do something like this but with buttercream, not fondant. I am making roses and blue hydrangeas. Any suggestion on how to now mess up the buttercream frosting while trying to place the flowers in the styrofoam?

  • @chantellefreeman7090
    @chantellefreeman7090 7 лет назад +1

    Love this tutorial! Thank you so much for sharing. Did you use royal icing to attach the cake to the cake dummy? Did you use a protractor for the quilting? How tall were the cakes?

    • @SweetieDarlingCakes
      @SweetieDarlingCakes  7 лет назад

      Hi Chantelle! The cakes were 4" tall, I do use a protractor and yes, it would be royal icing to attach :) xx

  • @tinzorg
    @tinzorg 4 года назад

    thank you so much for this helpful video! Would this work with a cake that doesnt have fondant? For eg - swiss meringue buttercream. I'm worried if I use big flowers like yours, it'll bump into the icing and ruin it.

    @missDynamic1970 7 лет назад +1

    Thank you for a great video. You are gorgeous! Just one question if the cake is five tiers tall do you recommend a central dowel going all the way through?

    • @SweetieDarlingCakes
      @SweetieDarlingCakes  7 лет назад +1

    @lynnadelacruz4808 6 лет назад

    Hi, loved how it looked, but was it stable for cake cutting? Wouldn’t want the whole thing to tumble down when the couple cuts the cake

    • @SweetieDarlingCakes
      @SweetieDarlingCakes  6 лет назад

      Ah no it’s okay. I do always tell the couples to be slightly cautious during their cake cutting ceremony because it isn’t as sturdy as normal cakes but as long as they don’t try and cut it by slashing a sword down on it then it tends to stay put ☺️☺️xx

  • @richardellice5797
    @richardellice5797 6 лет назад

    Love your tutorial, thank you. How do you keep the flowers fresh and stop them from wilting?

    • @SweetieDarlingCakes
      @SweetieDarlingCakes  6 лет назад

      Richard Ellice thanks Richard! Roses are very good sturdy flowers so they last the day at a wedding very well. For flowers that aren’t as hardy, you’d probably need to use oasis to push the flowers into. I work with the florist on things like that, I’m no flower expert ☺️

      @SweetieDarlingCakes  7 лет назад

      +Tweenie weenie hi! I always do the separators 2" smaller than the cake above. So I'd put a 4" separator between a 6" and 8" cake ☺️

      @SweetieDarlingCakes  7 лет назад

      +Abigail Amankwa hi Abigail, you’re very welcome! I don’t dig the flowers into the styrofoam because it’s too hard. I actually just trimmed the stems and pushed them up against the styro. You can use some icing to stick them in place if need be xx
