OK - now it has all come together! Here is a rough sketch of what will be created and driven about 5 hours northwest of Cape Cod next Friday afternoon!
Don't mind my perspective - it won't be leaning when it is done. The navy ribbon will line each layer, The round layer will actually have approximately 2 inches of the bottom level as a margin.
I will pipe small white "pearls" - no ridges, just tiny round dollops of buttercream, around the base of each layer. That will incorporate Eric's preference for dotted swiss look.

There will also be a 2 inch border on the tartan covered platform that the 8 inch top layer sits on. That will look very nice.
If you want to just place 3 white roses on the second later and one on the top, the rest of the blue delphiniums, daisys, fern, etc. can be the filler and color. Of course you could go with say 4 roses in the middle and 3 on top if you want to splurge! It will be a large cake, so that might be the best choice.
The filling will be seedless raspberry!
I got the pillars today and they are 7 inches tall. The top will stand very high above the cake - probably a bit higher than my sketch shows.

Feel free to post any comments! It will be great to see the before and after!
