Three Tier Wedding Cake

My cousin was getting married and she asked her sister and I to make her wedding cake. We said yes instantly but it wasn't so easy. We had a couple of trials with dying fondant, no fondant, flowers, colors, frosting and decoration. When it was all over, the cake turned out great. Here's how we did it.

Ingredients:

• 2 Ready-To-Use White Rolled Fondant 24 oz. Pkg.
• Performance Pans Round Pan Set Of 3 (6in x 3in, 10in x 3in, 14in x 3in)
• Cake Leveler
• 6in, 10in, 14in Cardboard Circles
• Easy-Glide Fondant Smoother
• Any Kind Of Ribbon And Color
• Etc (Rolling Pin, Paring Knife, Powdered Sugar)

Directions: 

1. Choose any kind of cake mix and pour it into the three cake pans, bake and cool completely. Take the cake leveler and level off the tops of all the cakes for a crisp, flat top. Frost with butter cream frosting until thin and smooth. Butter cream keeps the fondant soft, it helps the fondant stay on and it goes with any kind of cake flavor.
2. While the cake is cooling, sprinkle some powdered sugar onto a board and roll out the fondant until it reaches a 1/4 thickness. Make sure that the fondant is bigger than the size of the cake pan so it can cover the sides and the top. Do this for all of the tiers.
3. Take one piece of fondant at a time and carefully place it over the cake. Using the Easy-Glide Fondant Smoother to smooth out any lumps or air bubbles that are under the fondant. One section at a time, pull down the fondant along the sides and smooth it out, leaving any access fondant on the bottom. Take a paring knife and cut along the bottom of the cake, removing the fondant. Leaving a nice and clean edge on the cake. Repeat for all tiers.
4. Now, place the 14in cardboard circle onto a plate or a board (whatever you choose to serve it on). Carefully pick up the 14in x 3in cake with a flat edged spatula, or just a regular spatula and place it evenly onto the cardboard. Take the 10in circle and place that right in the middle of the 14in cake. Again, slowly place the 10in cake on top and repeat with the 6in cake.
5. All you have to do to finish it up is measure out some ribbon along the bottom of each cake layer and cut where it meets. Take some frosting or pins and attach the ribbon together. We found a long piece of black ribbon that was wrapped around a box on a gift. It had a bow right in the middle and it was long on the sides, perfect for the cake. Again, we placed the bow in the middle on the top tier and brought it down the sides, attaching it with frosting or pins. Now you have an elegant and clean wedding cake.
