[ageedybaec]

I can't help you regarding the cake but I wanted to welcome you to the forum. I'm sure the ladies will be "hooking you up" with web sites or pictures in no time. I'm alwalys amazed at how quickly answers are provided here. Hope you like it here!:)

What about this cake? It's lavender and it has a fountain. The fountian isn't on top, but I think its pretty cool. ;)

Well if that's what you want... then why not tell your cake person that that is what you want only you want the flowers to be lavender?

[ageedybaec]

i just wanted to compare it with others that are similar, don't want to settle, ya know, but if i do decide on this one, has anyone seen these toppers, like where the heck can i find the little doves, i was thinking maybe butterflies instead, what do you guys think

[Cashy98]

Either doves or butterflies would be great. Whatever you think fits in with your wedding better. I have no clue where you can find the doves... but you can get fountain cake tops on e-bay.

[Cashy98]

Oh wait... here's a porcelain dove topper.

hey cashy, i'm totally bummed, i talked to my cake lady yesterday and she said it would be a really bad idea to have a fountain on top of the cake, she said it splashes out everywhere and would ruin the cake, i'm so bummed, so now i'm on the search for a new, JUSt LAVENDER cake, whoa is me

[Cashy98]

Well that stinks. You don't like the idea of a fountain underneath the cake like the original cake I posted? I wonder how much the fountain would really splash... I mean, if the water isn't falling that far then it wouldn't splash really. :confused:

I have a fountain water dish thingy for my cat (don't ask) and although the water doesn't drip, it just runs down the front, it does get the floor wet enough that I have a towel under it 24/7. I believe it would ruin the cake. Plus, wouldn't it be kinda heavy for a cake topper? I love the fountains with the cakes, but I think it's probably better to put it underneath the cake.

[ageedybaec]

well, ladies, i have decided to go with cashy's idea of the traditional cake with the fountain underneath, i found a cake that i liked, but i'm gonna make the frosting lavender with the hearts and trim white, and i had the best luck, i got an AC MOORE coupon and found a really neat swirly white porcelin heart for a topper it was on sale and then i got 40% of YEAH, the cheaper the better at this stage, lol thanks for all of your awsome help

Oo I can totally picture this as a purple cake. I hope you'll post the final product :-). Very nice and elegant cake. The fountain is cool looking under the cake.

[Cashy98]

Love it! I agree, I think that would look great in lavender. ;)

The cake below with the fountain on top is absolutely exquisite! I LOVE it. Now...does anyone have a clue where to find that type of fountain and the small doves? I have looked online, I have searched ebay. I just contacted my cake decorator and she may or may not have some ideas. But if anyone has any suggestions please let me know. Thanks! :-)

You know what? I think that fountian is this one:

And I think that the tier with the floral pattern directly beneath it is a fake. The probably constructed it out of cardboard or foam and covered it with fondant. Either than or it is plastic/resin. It serves to hide the base of the fountain (the part where the motor is) and blends it in with the rest of the cake. I found the fountains for sale at Wilton's website: http://www.wilton.com/store/site/product.cfm?id=3E314555-475A-BAC0-5BF82ABC3D7BB726&fid=3E330F18-475A-BAC0-59DAFD6324AAC319
I would talk to your cake person about making a false tier to hide the base of the fountain.

This site has castles and birds combined. I think they would look pretty on top of a fountain.
