Have you been to cakcentral to browse the gallery. There are hundreds of cakes that would fit into that. Just remember that any pictures you look at are do-able in your color scheme. Topsy turvy cakes always take the "wedding" idea out too. Does she have any special interest movies, shoppping, shoes,etc?

Extravagant sounds wedding-y to me...but what comes to my mind is red fondant with gold lace designs all over the bottom of the tiers...kinda like a "Skirt" and the maybe some gold flowers on top. Do you have any lace molds? You could also use decorating tips and cut out holes to resemble eyelet

Hi Karen:

 

No lace molds at this time. this is what i've come up with.

 

2-tiers....cake covered in red fondant...with feathers coming out of the top tier with a gold 50. The borders will be gold string pearls. A lil dog will be somewhere with some kind of shoes...

 

She told me her mom loves jewelery, animals and shoes. so I gave her this idea and she seems quite excited about it...so i'll be giving this a shot for saturday...:)

 

Thanks for the advice everyone...
