If you have picked out your cake, or considering a certain one, post it so we can see it.

Here's mine

The baker is going to do something a little different though. Instead of the small flowers, he's going to do hearts (since that's my motif)and that ribbon (or whatever it is) won't be there.

B2B I love, love, love your cake. It is simple elegance!!!!

Thank you Roni......have you picked out yours yet?

Now that I look at the cake, I think about that cheesy cake topper (from one of my previous threads), and realized it would have screwed up the whole look of the cake.

I'm glad you ladies were honest with me about that, even though I saw how cheesy it was for myself when I received it.

You are welcomed B2B, you will definitely find honesty here -- lol!!! I have decided on a cake as yet, but I saw this and if the baker can make it for me I will do it. Check it outRhonda's Cake. The flowers around it would be navy blue of course.

That's beautiful!!!! I don't see why your baker wouldn't be able to do it. That looks like a fondant cake. Do you want fondant?

I have never tasted fondant, but I was told it's not too tasty, and it costs more, so my baker is going to make the cake in buttercream icing. He said it can be done with buttercream, but it won't look as "smooth" as the fondant.

You are right it is Fondant. I will see if she can do it in buttercream as well. I want my cake to look and taste good.

Yep..I have done some research into the fondant...I guess it's something you have to get your mouth ready for...me myself, I went shopping for a cake/server set that actually has a serrated edge because I understand one of the issues with fondant is that it may be a bit tougher to make the first cut with...that was another reason I chose a buttercream creamcheese carrot cake.
Every wedding I have been to I have seen people peel off the fondant and/or eat around it anyway.

I have found some interesting cakes at http://www.freedsbakery.com/weddings-frameset.html. If you can't find anything here... you have issues.

My cake is a square, 2 layer not tiered carrot, pineapple and pecan cake with the words" Live, Love, Laugh" enscribed on them, in remembrance of my deceased mom you used to say that a lot.

My caked is halfway down the page on the left..it's square and will be really nice with an abundance of fresh flowers in dark purple, cream, orange and yellow, minus the country-fried ribbon on it and the sugar orchids. It's simple but elegant, under 200.00 and square cake feeds more folks than round, another tidbit I picked up on wedding cake and wedding cake cutting etiquette!

I was told that fondant is not very tasty. So while the picture of my cake is in fondant, I've asked the lady whose doing my cake to do it in a butter cream frosting. The picture is shown for style.

Not quite sure yet but it will be one of these. I have 3 potential bakers in mind. In the end it will come down to taste and who can make the cake in buttercream ( don't like fondant)

I really like choice #1 georgiagurl. Keep us posted on which one you actually choose.

I like all of the wedding cakes, I think they are all lovely. Unfortunately I have a handicapp when it comes bo posting pics.

Send me the pic belle.

lol

These are the kind of cakes i'm moving toward, thematically. Floral motifs and tropical colors. Thanks for the fondant advice, Angela. Buttercream will be my choice.

Here is my cake from Publix. I just ordered it Friday. We are using a different cake topper though




Here is the groom's cake-He loves chocolate, and its a surprise!

Ooooh, what a decadent surprise for him and you cuz you get to eat it, too.

Musik I love that top cake! Absolutely wonderful -- actually all of them are nice, but the top one is my favorite. Bumble, you are so blessed to have a Publix in your area. They have great cakes and the price is right too! I love your cake, and your fh's cake is great too -- you can't go wrong with chocolate!

Musik~ I like the top cake too (like Rhony) and I love buttercream so send me a piece in the mail.

Bumble~ Your FH is going to be so happy to see his cake!!! That is a wonderful surprise for him!

Yeah, I hope he likes it too. The only type of sweets he likes is chocolate. He is probably going to share it cause he won't eat a lot of it, so I ordered a smaller version of it. But he'll love to have something that he can enjoy.

Musik. I like the 1st one too. Those flowers on there are too cute. If you have purple in your wedding I would find out what those flowers are. I think its some kind of tahitian orchid, but don't quote me.

Bumble, i am using purple accents so that would be great. I recently found out someone is buying our cake as their gift so i have more freedom now. My girlfriend from work who's getting married on Feb. 24 is feeding the masses with Safeway cake and I think i'll follow her example.

I have had safeway cake and I like it.

Its called an Aranda Orchid.....I love it

Thanks Bumble, Aranda Orchid, I'll remember that

Anyone else have cake pics to post or have figured out which cake to use?

I'm still undecided

Mine!

Classy that cake is beautiful!!!! You have great taste.

There are so many beautiful cakes out there...but the fun part is in the tasting.

Hi,

I have chosen my cake but I am having trouble coordinating my colors into the cake. I have come up with some suggestions but none of them sound right. My colors are chocolate, light blue, and cream.


Here is a link to a picture of the cake:
http://www.wilton.com/store/site/product.cfm?id=3E30A675-475A-BAC0-525BB0AADDF3EB94&fid=3E32AEA9-475A-BAC0-5A57BB27FD2A4B5E

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!

I saw a beautiful chocolate 2 layer (squares) cake, with the choclate icing and creme-colored dots all over the cake...The couple's colors where a simple chocolate and creme.
OR you can do a soft blue icing (fondant) with chocolate colored accents.
Now that I think of it, your colors are so retro! The flowers may take away from it because they give more of a classic feel...but thats just me....
This may help with formulating ideas:

Brown with white/blue accents

Simple

Scrollwork

Maybe this with blue?

Check you out bumble! Now I need one! Can you try that with me???

I need chocolate brown accents, champagne, and latte. I need to get on with this cake business.

Thanks for the suggestions...I think we may just go with the cream cake and blue roses. I liked the scroll cake a lot! If my wedding wasn't in a few days I would use that one.

Lisha

I love all of these cake ideas. I may end up getting mine from Walmart, Publix, or Albertson's.

Hope this one comes out ok. I'm still learning how to post pics.

If it comes out ok, this is the cake we've settled on.

Let's try this again

If this comes out properly, it's all thanks to my daughter. She helped me with it.

my cake minus the bride/groom on top; I am having the monogram initials and the ribbon color will be silver

Ooooohhhhh!!!!I love this cake. What flavor are you choosing? I would like this one in French Vanilla.

MsBoston, I never even saw your reply earlier for me to check out a cake for you-and I apologize. Have you picked out your cake yet?

Mine is quite similar to this one except the scroll work is done in chocolate brown and at the base of each tier is brown ribbon. Also the top tier will have our Monogram 'M'

Oh, Bumble it's Buttercream.

and Ginoue I'm loving your cake, especially the scroll work. I don't know, I just like the detail of it, it's so elegant to me.

Thank you so much Ladies. Platinum, it's buttercream. MsBoston, thanks for the compliments. It's because of it's elegance that I chose it. Our wedding theme is "Classic Elegance" and it will definitely compliment our formal wedding.

MsBoston, that cake is beautiful. Ginoue, I love yours too. My icing was butter cream too. We thought that to get a smooth look you have to do fondant, but I wasn't willing to risk people not liking it, so we went with buttercreme, and it came out beautifully and delicious too. I will post my actual cake later....I think it came out better than the sample I posted earlier....

Can't wait to see it!!!

Here's pix of my cake & topper... The cake was white butter cream with yellow w/ strawberries filling.
