TNPhiMu, I don't know which I love more, you & your dress or your cake! Both are absolutely lovely!!

Thanks Honey! I absolutely LOVED my dress... and the cake. I so wish I could wear the dress around everytime I have a bad day. But, with the cost of preserving and boxing that baby, I think I'll keep it wrapped up!

Mah cake (and me looking a bit confused about how to cut it).

^^ That's so cute! I wouldn't know how to cut it either. Maybe just cut off a corner? Lol.

Thanks! It might be hard to tell in the pic, but the fondant was light green. The cake itself was tuxedo cake (one layer french vanilla and the other chocolate fudge) and man was it tasty.

Here's ours (from 4.5 years ago):

Each layer was something different. I think we had white with white filling, lemon with white filling, white with raspberry filling and lemon with raspberry filling. We had a local gal who did cakes out of her home, so it's not quite as "professional" looking as some, but it was so tasty! I wasn't the happiest with how big the cake topper turned out, but like anyone really cares about that anyway.

Grooms cake:

OMG, this was the yummiest thing ever. It was some rich chocolate cake with chocolate kaluha filling and chocolate ganache frosting. I barely got a tiny piece and poor hub didn't get any. We let the cake lady decorate it however she wanted, so it doesn't quite match the other cake, but again, like anyone noticed or cared.

I'm surprised that SHEETCAKE has not crashed this thread yet.

Who are you? Tiffany and Cartier rings "all the way" and now "Sylvia Weinstock all the way"? You're a little too proud of yourself, trying too hard to put down others' choices.

Thank you, yes!

Maybe if it would work if it comes directly from the freezer, but I still don't recommend it.

I went to a wedding two years ago where they had Dairy Queen cakes - there was one for each table of 8 or 10. It was yummy but they were still hard to slice, we could have used a knife in addition to a cake server!

I saw a MK Cadillac the other day! It was crazy - the woman driving it looked sort of busted and didn't have her "face" on for sure.

One of my law school classmates did this at her wedding last May. She had pink and brown cupcakes to match her colors.

We had seriously considered doing cupcakes at our wedding, but the baker that does the best cupcakes was already booked. I'm not hugely crazy about wedding cake.

We're having about 150 people. There's a bakery in our area known for their wedding packages. Essentially we're having a cake that will feed about 75 people then an array of desserts as well (cheesecake, pies, tortes, cakes, etc. - we get 7 choices, and they're huge and we can always add more if we want). So everyone can get something they like. It's actually extremely reasonable. Which is surprising considering that the baker does the desserts for some of the more high end restaurants in the city. Plus, of course, we WILL have an enormous cookie table!

Tentatively we've picked white cake with fudge filling with strawberries. Apparently some people think this is odd. Chocolate and strawberries don't go together??? Hello, chocolate-covered strawberries? It tasted fabulous.

No idea what I want the cake to look like. Our colors are blue and platinum. Thankfully don't have to deal with the look of the cake for a few more months.

Cake tasting was my fiance's favorite part of wedding planning so far. Though he did enough registering

^^^Judging by the link in her signature (which she has made efforts to post in pretty much every forum, it seems), perhaps she is Brenda Myers, Independent Beauty Consultant for Mary Kay Cosmetics?
