1st Wedding Cake - Help
I will be doing my first ever wedding cake in June and I am starting to get really nervous about the whole thing. The over all design is really quite simple it is just the size, delivery and praying that it does not sink in on itself or lean. I have made a 3 tier cake before but have only used the wood sticks for support. I am sure I am going to have to use a much more stable system with this cake. I figured I would just have to assemble the cake at the hall as driving with it all together may make me go crazy haha. Any tips you have would be great!
Here is a picture of the design they want, just done in fondant instead of buttercream. The flowers on top are real roses and the ribbon will be real as well.

You can put the flowers on top at the hall, if you want, but there's nothing really too complicated in this design that you need to worry about. You'll need to sharpen a long wooden stake and put it down the center of the cake, into the cake board. The hole on top will be hidden by the flowers.

I agree with Terri. As long as you can put the stacked cake in your vehicle you should be able to transport it with the long dowel through the entire cake. I'd use an MDF board instead of a cake drum for extra support.
If you are nervous about transporting the entire cake stacked you could stack the bottom 2 layers and the top 2 layers for transport and then stack them at the venue. Don't forget to take your piping bag and BC to pipe the beading around the bottom.
