| Joy's actual bicycle is a gift from Warren. |
 |
| I found a plastic one that looks almost like hers, except for the colours. |
 |
| Took it apart and hopefully could put them back again. |
 |
| Prepping the parts for spray paint. I need to remind myself next time to use a primer first. Because I forgot, I had to respray a couple of the parts a few times. |
 |
| Spray painted parts. I had different boxes for different colours outside my house. My neighbour was really wondering what those boxes were on my lawn. LOL! |
 |
| Assembling the tiers. I had to make sure it could hold over 60 cupcakes. |
 |
| Was going to use the original wedding card paper, but ironically, I found the wrapper more suitable. |
 |
| I compared the effect. |
 |
| These frames were from American Craft scrapbooking elements. |
 |
| Cutting the base from the paper. So much for recycling, I had only a giant piece, so every square inch must count. |
 |
| Getting the sides cut and measured. |
 |
| The base. I used architecture miniature lawn bits. Never do this in front of the fan. It's a real mess to clear. |
 |
| My coffee table is a mess right now. |
 |
| I swear by this glue. It's pretty expensive, but it's made for architectural modelling. It dries clear and super fast! |
 |
| The main monogram. |
 |
| The rest are assembled with glue foam dots. These again made my life super super easy. |
 |
| The tier beginning to take shape. |
 |
| Securing the bike to the base. |
 |
| Close up of the bike from the back. The little wooden frame was from a laser wood cut pieces I found at the MR. DIY shop. Love Love that shop. Lots of hidden treasures. |
 |
| Close up of some of the photos of the couple. |

| Cake tier at the site. |
