90th birthday cake

My grandma turned 90 years old and we did a party for her. My cousin had a stand that she thought would look pretty, so I decided to do a square tiered cake to put on the stand. The more I thought about it, I decided to try using fondant. I did a 6 inch, 8 inch, 10 inch, and 12 inch cake. Each cake had 2 layers with buttercream frosting in between. I covered each layer with fondant and then put ribbon around the base. My cousin put the flowers on top of each layer after we got it to the church for the party. The top, next to the bottom, and bottom cakes were all regular pound cake. The second cake down was a chocolate pound cake (my favorite).
