    I made these for my friend's mendhi party tomorrow--she's getting married Saturday!

    I used a mini wedding cake pan i got off amazon.

    Not too shabby for homemade. Thanks to RecessionistaBride for the frosting recipe =]

    Anyways, super cute shower idea. It took awhile and I'm super new at piping, but still, they're not a food fail =D

    Those are really cute!  Great work, my first try would most likely have looked unidentifiable but those turned out great.

    Those are so cute.  My FSIL made us mini wedding cakes for our engagement party and they were great, but yours look much more professional!

    Thanks! They still look a little 'homemade' but not sloppy at least =].

    I have the Williams Sonoma piping set, but they don't make it anymore. It's like this, sort of: http://www.williams-sonoma.com/products/wskids-cookie-and-cupcake-decorating-kit/?pkey=x|4|1||4|decorating%20kit||0&cm_src=SCH 

    And the buttercream recipe is over here: http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/bakery-buttercream

    I do have a few super ugly "wtf is that" cakes, but i frosted them anyways and gave them to my coworkers =P.

    These look great! I'm completely bent on having mini wedding cakes for all 160 of my weddings guests next summer. So far my first trial has been an utter disaster! Oh well at least I have plenty of time to experiment and get a cake if it doesn't work out...

    oh wow! so glad i came across this.  i just bought the chicago metallic mini wedding cake pan (with all three layers in one pan) and four mini cakes to the pan...is that what you used?  i wanted to use fondant but i thought it would be too difficult since all the layers are already combined...but it looks like you used fondant and it worked...how did you do it!?

    @Ms.Meowerson: Let me reply on ejs behalf... Yes she was pleased. :P I won't lie. It's the perfect buttercream recipe. 

    EJS! Those look super awesome! They don't look "homemade" at all.

    @Ms.Meow: For piping, use less milk. The more milk you add, the fluffier & less stiff the icing will be. This recipe (with less milk) is perfect for making roses and borders.
