I haven't seen much aside from the visual critiques, so I'm going to provide some advice from someone who did the same thing. I was in the same boat as you a few months ago. I made a four tier cake for my friends' wedding. I decorated it simply, but it was a big and heavy cake. It was my first wedding cake and here's what I learned:

  1. Figure out your recipes early and practice them in the pans and oven you will bake in. I had a disaster with my top tier the night before that kept me up until 2:00AM rebaking two more cakes. If I knew how that recipe was going to bake in that pan and in that oven, I would have made a different choice from the start. It all worked out in the end, but it was unnecessary stress.

  2. Know the route you have to drive the cake on. I had to drive up a hill and I was not prepared for it. If you have to drive up any inclines with the cake, make sure you have something non-slip under them and leave the cake in individual layers. Also, have a helper watching the cakes as you drive so that you can stop if something starts to go wrong.

  3. If it's a big cake, know the venue. My cake almost didn't fit in the fridge. That would have been a disaster.

    Those are my big three. Also, depending on how big of a cake you are making (My base tier was 14 inches,) there are some great tools I would recommend:

Hmm, I do have 2-3 hard drives from old computers actually! Let me take a look inside. Thanks for chiming in.

Neat idea -- I'm guessing you happen to have used this kind of rotary mechanism before, and you used a hard-disk spindle?

The other thing I'm considering is goin on amazon and ordering a turntable like a somewhat precise/well-rated turntable (like this one) or maybe a revolving cake stand (like this one), both of which have stainless steel ball bearings for what is claimed to be smooth rotation.

Too bad they have beveled circumference edges though, might be hard to attach directly to the little rubber wheel or even using a belt.

Something with a ball bearing - it's smooth and reliable. They're not cheap, but if you make a lot of cakes (for sale, for example), it's worth it.
