27. Engagement Cake Decoration Idea's?

    I am trying to work out if my idea for an engagement cake would look good. I don't have a huge budget though. My idea is a chocolate mud cake with a dark brown chocolate marzipan or fondant icing with gold Cachous in a pattern of some kind. I had originally been thinking brightly coloured pearl dots on the same cake base but our theme colours are gold and red. I plan on getting the cake professionally made, (not sure where yet). However, I have no idea how much a cake will cost. Is coloured marzipan or fondant icing more expensive? Are the gold Cachous easy enough to get a hold of? I have seen the silver ones at Woolworth's but don't recall ever seeing gold there. The cake will be for 20 people. Single Tier. For an evening party. I was thinking a circular cake but I'm not against square or rectangle etc. Anyone have any pictures of something similar or something like this? I think I like the fondant because of the clean smooth finish. However it depends more on price and idea on the patter for the gold Cachous. Does the fondant icing taste nice. I'm pretty sure I've had marzipan before and liked it.
