Happy weekend everyone!

FH and I are both stuck trying to make a choice about our cake...I'm kind of hoping to get some extra opions because we can't decide!

I am making our cake- I am an experienced baker, and have done cakes for weddings and events for years. To be honest I'm fussy and I want to do this mayself because I don't usually like bakery cakes. We had thoght we would have 2 flavours of cupcakes (each of our faves), and set them as a display on a wooden stand: like this:

But this colour scheme (for my beloved yellow!)...this display is muych taller though!:

We were not sure if we would have a cutting cake, due to our timelines- but we considered it. And then I found this cake:

White Chocolate Fresh Flower Cake

I would love to make this cake, it is beautiful! I thought about making just one tier to cut, but I don't think it will have the same effect as a single layer.

Just looking for feedback! Maybe someone has a solution or compromise we have not condidered?? How do you pick between so many pretty options!?!?

    The tall one is pretty crazy, I just like the florals on it!

    Thanks for weighing in...my biggest concern was that a single tier wouldn't be as stunning as the three tier..it helps to know that people think it would work!

    I would choose cake over cupcakes any day! But I am known to take my cake seriously ;-) If you really want that look, why not make a 2 tier cake to save some tim? Lisa's suggestion sounds like a great solution as well :-)

    I would mix the 1st photo with the 3rd. Put the top tier on top of your cupcake display and cupcakes below. Have the best of both worlds! Smiley smile

    I love the 3rd cake! Even with one tier I think it would look amazing! And if you had a cupcake stand in between the size of the first and second I think that would look pretty. The first one doesn't have enough room and the second stand is way too tall for my liking lol!
