Mine's going to be straight off the cover of Martha Stewart Weddings. Don't tell tho, it's a secret. ^_^ It's just so perfect for our wedding that I had to have it!

Here is mine, hopefully the flowers will be a little more coral colored and not so pink.

 

Yeah, you can get the butterflies at Michaels or Hobby Lobby or anywhere, tho I'm getting mine offline to get all the colors. They're on wires that you just stick in the cake. Might make cutting the cake a pain, but I'm also doing cupcakes so hopefully it won't be a big deal. And the lady making it said it won't be any problem to do it just like that. Only difference will be that we're adding a ribbon of fondant at the base of each layer (each one a different color) so that the cake isn't so completely white. I'm excited!

Ok for my DW we're not having a formal reception. We just made reservations at a restaurant then after off to a club for dancing. So I wasn't sure we were going to do cake but everyone said for pictures. Then I was thinking I'm afraid we could end up with the old school 80's look and I make good cake so I'll just make a small one myself...My fiance was very supportive... so personal too, he said; so I did my cake trial along with my make-up trial (another post..lol) this weekend. Ready for a laugh????

Not making my wedding cake apparently it requires a talent I don't possess! It was a good time and laugh for us though!

rnc 620- Thanks yummy too but sooo not worthy of pictures!

Now I'm wondering there's a Costco over there (Puerto Rico) should I just get one of those Chocolate 2 layer round cakes and put flowers on top? I'm just caught up with the $$ on a cake for 17 of us, when I didn't think it was even that important?

We didn't spent alot on our cake, $200 for the three tier cake, cupcakes for the kids table and two car grooms cakes. While the cake lady was delivering our cakes she almost got into an accident which totally destroyed one of the car cakes. She had to go back and fix the cake and the other car cake which turned out okay. It wasn't exactly what we wanted but it still tasted great!

Taye not at all weird to have a brown cake, I think it could be very beautiful! My pink mess of a cake above was White Chocolate with raspberry filling and the smaller top was lemon with white chocolate fudge filing. Point is don't forget Chocolate comes in different colors!

Oh you should definitely surprise him and have a cake happilywaiting when he gets home...lol

Since the cake was to be done at the Villa when we get to Puerto Rico, I was going for super easy and I found out on a (wait don't laugh too hard) Duncan hinds bakers blog that you could take any box cake and mix it up!

White box cake turned White Chocolate by changing oil to melted butter, water to full fat milk, and then adding to the mix 3oz melted white Chocolate chips just before you pour in the pan! Filling was fresh raspberrys and seedless jam. Frosting can, add cool whip and the rest of the white choc. chips(melted) to it!

You should try it!

Ours turned out exactly as I wanted.  Crisp lines and I had the florist add two cala lilies taht were the same as in my bouquet to the top.  It was delicious too!  We had two flavors, white cake with raspberry filling for me and chocolate cake with chocolate mousse filling for my husband.
