M&S/Tesco/Asda wedding cakes -how to dress?

mrsW2b

Would it be possible for people to post their photos and suggestions about they have/intend dress(ed) the shop-bought wedding cakes?

I have come across a few through the various posts which looked amazing but I can't find them now - grr!

Thanks!:T

I bought my cakes from Tesco and they are quite nice on their own, but I did look on youtube for ideas of how to make flowers with regalice.

I've made white roses (for Yorkshire) arranged with a centre flower and surrounded by otheres on their sides and in between I'm going to put fake leaves,I've got a fake buch of flowers which I will use the leaves from.

I will try to post a pic when I've got a bit more time and providing it doesn't look like a right hash lol.

thanks to you both.

Kittie - i can't wait to see your photos!

Stef - your cake looks amazing! Did you thread all the crystals on by hand or buy them that way? I take it that they entangled onto ring at the bottom and the cake sits on top of this?

The strands around each tier are bought on a 1.8 metre length and the 'crown' on the top tier is sold just as it is and they are available from http://www.rainbowsugarcraft.co.uk/shop/Gems_and_Jewels.htm

I bought 2 x 1.8 mtr lengths and one crown to cover the m&s XL. L AND M size cakes.
