mmmm, caaaake... just those pictures are enough to make my teeth hurt

[Virgo Nightingale]

Perfect. I'm meeting with the bakery to discuss my wedding cake this afternoon. :D

As I go through some of these photos, I see a few cakes that have been featured in some of the bridal magazines I've gotten. Beautiful stuff!!

[beeverly]

omg. those look amazing. i'd hate to be the first to cut into it.

[Red Kittie Kat]

I can't tell you how bad I want to try and make a high heel shoe now for my older niece who has a major shoe thing .. she loves heels ;)

[garricks]

I love them all...the ballet shoes are especially excellent!

omg. those look amazing. i'd hate to be the first to cut into it.

me too! I'd feel terrible!

[Virgo Nightingale]

Well my cake won't be quite as ornate (fondant would have added a few hundred bucks to the cost of the cake) but it will be purty. Three tiers, buttercream frosting, chocolate brown fabric ribbon along the bottom of each tier with purple paisleys and light green ornamentation. The inside: chocolate cake with chocolate mousse filling. :D

[Red Kittie Kat]

That sounds great Virgo.

Mine was 3 tiers too. It was over a water fountain and surrounded by 5 heart shaped cakes for the bridesmaids :D

It was Ivory covered in fondant and that lacey filagree look. It was white cake with almond buttercream filling around the edges of the cake with Raspberry filling in the center.

It was soooooo good. ;)

I wouldn't want to cut into those either.

Our receptionist's daughter just got married and had a 3 tier plain white wedding cake made. The tiers had to be assembled DIY (because the tier might collapse during the journey) and the flowers were bought separately from the florist and added later. So basically, 3 totally plain, white, round cakes in 3 sizes. That's all. $700! That is theft right?

[Red Kittie Kat]

Yipes ... If all I needed was 3 round plain, non decorated cakes I know a great baker .. her name is Betty Crocker :D

[Virgo Nightingale]

Mine is close to $1000. :eek: But at least it will be decorated all purdy!

The Today Show is doing their Wedding contest (hurg...) today they chose cakes, and these minis were one of the choices.

[Red Kittie Kat]

how mini were they?

I often thought about having a mini cake for each guest would be a cool idea too ;)

[garricks]

I never actually saw anyone standing next to them, but if that's a typical banquet 10-top, it's probably 1 cake for each table, don't you think? Maybe as the centerpiece?

[Virgo Nightingale]

ooo.... centerpiece cakes... makes mental note for second wedding... :p

[Red Kittie Kat]

Thats a great idea too! :)

[Yossarian]

Speaking as a guy not fancy enough to have ever eaten a slick-looking fondant wrapped cake... What's it taste like? I've heard that it's not as tasty as regular frosting.

[budafist]

individual cakes for weddings is very fashionable these days. Expensive though.

But wouldn't it take the fun out of "cutting the cake"?

Yossarian, have you ever had petit fours? Those little sqare decorated tea cakes? Those are covered with fondant.It's thicker and stickier than regular frosting...and I really love it! :D

[Red Kittie Kat]

Petit fours?? Is that some of that vooley voo Franchay stuff? Decorated tea cakes? Sounds pretty fancy!

You do make it sound good though.:D

[garricks]

They're bite-sized...if you try, you can cram half a dozen of those suckas in your craw at once! :D

[Yossarian]

You, my friend, are the height of badger sophistication!

[Red Kittie Kat]

Pardon me whilst the Grand Piano I play




:D

Even though I'm not a sugar-holic, I'll give that challenge a go!

[Craig B]

Virgo, if you're looking for something less expensive but certainly a crowd pleaser, I'd go this route ...
