Ive already asked this question but want to clarify: My wedding colors are white and black with red accents. I am having a 3 tier fountain wedding cake with the two staircases down the sides to two smaller, 2 tier cakes. I have a white cake toppers (calla lillies inside a heart for the smaller cake and a white dancing couple for the larger cake). I don't want a complete black cake I'm worried itll be too dark or look gothic.So I thought a white cake but have a black lace design on it (so it looks like black lace is wrapped around the cake a little white will show but itll be mostly black), then some red flowers. (there will also be a ring of flowers around the cake.
Opinions or ideas please.
Clarification: BLack will b fondant, it doesnt stain, I want more black than white because my cake toppers r solid white. and I know it is a difficult design with the lace and everything, but a professional is doing my cake. (and its not solid black)

I don't think it is too much at all and it sounds beautiful. I love the staircase design as that is so elegant and for the icing to look like black lace will I'm sure look fabulous. I think the red flowers will add just enough color and I for one love the look of flowers either around or on the cake. If you're a good artist you can draw out the design for the cake decorator. You might take a look at some of the websites others have posted and if any look similar, print them off to show the person. Congrats on your wedding too.

Sounds like you've got a lot going on!
I love the sound of the black lace over white cake and the red flowers. But for me simple is better. I would probably leave it at that! That alone sounds beautiful! I think it would be lovely without the staircases and the 2 cake toppers.
I'm personally not a fan of fondant (tastes icky) but it sure looks nice.

I think the black lace on white idea sounds fabulous. I'm not sure the red roses will help...it might be a bit of an overload, considering the black will already be a fairly busy already.
I'm still not fond of the staircases and lighted fountain, but again, this is your wedding, not mine, so go for it!

I personally don't like the idea of black on the cake but the design sounds wonderful.
