    After much debate (and pressure- after all this is what I do for a living) I've decided on what I want my cake to look like. This is a little whimsical... yet still has a traditional tiered cake.

    I didn't want a cupcake tower for our cake b/c I thought it would look like something I just grabbed from work on my way to the reception, but it would feel wrong to not have a little something to display my love for these wonderful little bites of heaven. Also my FI loved the look of this cake & how fun it is.  

    Mine will be a smaller version b/c our wedding will have less than 100 people in attendance.

    You should make this the top tier of your cake (giant cupcake pan from William Sonoma):

    Yeah, but it looks like it is a foot of just icing, which is misleading.  It's just the shape of the cake.  I find that disappointing.  I like the idea of a blob of frosting the size of my head.

    Mmmm... me too jocelyn! I could live off frosting if only it wouldn't turn me into an 800lb woman.

    I really do think that would make a spectacular top tier, though.  It actually isn't that big.

    Now I am going to choke down a yogurt while secretly dreaming about buttercream.

    I've seen that pan & next time I'm in the US, I'll probably pick one up. At Michael's in British Columbia it's like $50-- INSANE!

    I think it would look cute... I'll definitely make a test cake over the next few months :)
