Next few steps...

So I have a big cake for one of Cam's friends due on Thursday morning.  I have been doing all of the prep work trying to make it as easy as possible for myself.  The cake is going to have a fondant bow on the top so the bow loops need to be made ahead of time so that they will try before it is time to assemble.  I figured that while I had all the fondant rolled out that I might as well cut out most of the flowers that will adore tiers one and three.  Tier two will be covered with stripes so they can't be done until I am ready to put them on the cake since they need to conform to the shape of the cake.  I also completed the large number three that will stick out of the top of the bow on the top a few days ago.  Tomorrow evening will be cake baking and maybe the butter cream making.  Tuesday I will make the chocolate ganache and fill and crumb coat the layers.  Wednesday I will fondant them and put most of the decorations on.  That will leave final assembly and finishing touches for Thursday morning when I arrive at thier home with the cake.  Wish me luck this is the biggest most involved cake yet to date.
