@@Jami-vm1zv Adorable that you are missing that she is choosing the decorations to celebrate her and her husband's relationship. And considering her way of setting her foot down is to make sure the cake still is tasty, I'd say it's a surprisingly kind way of saying "I choose what's right for my family so butt out". Just because someone's mom makes demands it doesn't mean you have to cater to them. It's not the step-mom's wedding. Personally I wouldn't invite her and I'd make it abundantly clear why not either. The person ordering the cake is alot nicer than I would've been.

Literally though. I come from a family with engineers on both sides and if I had to make this I would for sure be asking for advice. Fortunately, cakes are less complicated to design than most things professional engineers build so you could probably hire an engineering student to figure it out for less money than someone with a finished degree. Still definitely an up charge though.

I mean, the professional's advice was essentially "do X to avoid the cake collapsing". Considering that the bride was deliberately going for the most hideous, visually disgusting cake possible, chances are that she is exactly hoping for it to collapse.

No need to worry if someone tries to ruin the cake or kids try to sneak/grab a taste.

I love how she looked like she was going to cry the entire time, but then is probably just so happy to clap back at her step mom, she's going all out.
That totally seems like she did that exclusively to get back at the step-mom 😅
I would hope the bakery put each tier on its own level of the cake stand, or a platter in which to rest each tier.
I would've asked her if we could do a completely yellow 3 tier with a 2 tier "fake cake" at the bottom with a real top for them to cut and do sheet cakes for the large most requested bottom 2 lol but at least she was fully aware that her cake is going to kind of mush together so the very moist cakes will give the very dry top tier a little bit of something lol

I actually love dry cake. I don't like cake with icing at all. I probably wouldn't order that for my wedding since other people have to eat it too, but it's definitely my preference
