Wedding Cake - Wedding for 125
To keep the cost down, rather than spending over $100.00++ on
a wedding
cake, they tried out various recipes and made
their own cake. It was fun
too!
They made a wedding cake for all to see and used that for
the 'cutting of
the cake'. The mothers of the bride and groom,
decorated the cake, thus
making it extra special. They kept it
simple as neither is really a cake
decorator. The used white
frosting, silver ribbons, pillars and a topper
for the cake.
It looked great and certainly did the job nicely.
They had premade enough cake for all their guests (froze
the cakes ahead of time),
had it cut into wedges and wrapped in plastic wrap and then a napkin,
one piece
for each guest. The cake was then passed out by
the bride and groom while
visiting with each guest.
The cake was carried in a wicker basket which had been spray
painted
silver. The cake pieces were wrapped in blue paper napkins.
The Bride's colors were silver and blue.
You can purchase wedding cake 'parts' at craft shops.
