what do you like? i can send you ideas

are you into cakes or something?

no color unless it's floral or fruit - but no real flowers or fruit. i like the ones made out of food.

preferably round, 3 tiered.

don't like the thing where the layers are separated by little pedestals

not modern, i'm on the classic/vintagey side.

don't like designs where it looks like it's painted on (if that makes any sense). I like etching and like raised dots or whatever.

don't like a cluster of stuff on the top - i like things more sparse.

don't like cascading florals or anything asymmetrical

i like the look of fondant where they make it look drapey (if that makes any sense)

i like when there's something at the base of each layer, like 'pearls' or whatever.

i like viney type designs

no cupcakes (fh is against it)

bear.

Does that give you an idea? LOL - you asked!

I usually just go with google images

that was my fav! didnt want to look after that.

that lace can be done two ways... royal icing... the kind that gets hard and tastes like the old dot candy... thats VERY time consuming as all the detail in hand done or it can be fondant. they have molds etc for dif designs. you can have a butter cream cake, cheaper then fondant, with fondant detail to help cut the cost...

only giving you that info so when you go to price it out, you have an idea of what your talking about and get a good price etc.
does that make sense?

old dot candy? do you mean CANDY BUTTONS!?!? because those are my favorite - paper and all.

Yes, that makes a lot of sense, thank you.

I'm not sure if price matters - cake is included in my RH - they do it in their on premises bakery.

thanks so much!!
