Purple Orchid Cake

Click the picture to enlarge.
You can't tell from the picture, but this cake was a monster and weighed more than me!  (I WISH!)  It's an 18", 15" and 12" cake stacked.  Right before the cake had to be done, I realized I didn't have enough Satin Ice fondant to cover the entire thing.  So, with a 40% coupon in hand, I ran to Michael's and bought Wilton's pre-made boxed fondant.  Boy was I wrong to do that.  Never, ever, will I buy that stuff again!  Anyway, even with the fondant disaster and some cracking fondant, the cake came out beautiful.  The hand painted orchids and simple branches added elegance to it.  Now, if only it weren't so heavy...
