Posted: Tue Jan 02, 2007 12:14 PM This is my first crack at a tiered cake. I got the idea for this disco theme from one of the other discussion forum's under the wedding section. (Thank you!!) I made this for practice for a friend's New Year's party. The "disco ball" in the center of the cake is a candle holder that I had at home and wanted to put it to good use!!! The cake is the buttercake, strawberry filling and buttercream recipe from Wilton's site. Although I had some problems with the sides of the cake crumbling when I removed them from the pans but after icing it, one couldn't even tell. The cake tasted really good and was quite moist!!! Thanks to all who post pictures....I love all the ideas! Happy New Year! Cake pictures 289.jpg  (136 KB) Cake pictures 303.jpg  (130 KB)

ShellieM	Posted: Thu Jan 04, 2007 9:20 AM The sides of the cake are those edible silver balls or dragees I think they are called. I put them on with clear piping gel and tweezers. It took me about 7 hours just to apply the balls!!!

waflecrisp	Posted: Mon Jan 29, 2007 10:29 AM Hi, I had seen a cake very simular done by Semi-Homemade (foodnetwork). It looks wonderful. Where did you find the silver edible balls? I can only find them on line. The place I use to find them said they were told they no longer could sell them due to the metal in the silver. Christine

ShellieM	Posted: Tue Jan 30, 2007 11:39 AM Thanks for all your comments! I found the edible balls at a wedding and party boutique here and also at my local Safeway. For the color, it was supposed to look like "champagne" so I used the ivory Wilton food coloring and just added about 1/4 tsp to the icing.

Posted: Fri Jan 15, 2010 12:20 PM Hi! Great cake!! I have a question or two. What is under the candle in the center of the cake? Do you have it on a base? Then What do you have on top of the candle? Did you glue a base on top for the top cake? Where do you find candles holders like that? What sizes where your cakes? My daughter liked this cake and now wants one for her birthday. HELP!! Thanks, Kris
