Ivory and Gold Wedding Cake

My own wedding cake (2003). I helped my mom make this..well I did all the gold painting and the chocolate seashells.
8-tiers (6-8-10-12-16 and 3-10's on the bottom). The largest tier was a real cake, all other tiers were dummies. Ivory fondant, gold lace ribbon, RI piping brushed in gold, chocolate seashell on top.
