My fiance and I are zeroing in on a wedding cake design. Okay the truth is I'm zeroing in, My fiance doesn't like cake and since I promised him I'd bake his favorite pie and make sure he has ice cream at the wedding he says I can choose whatever as long as its on or under budget. LOL!
I've got an idea I think would be great and would cost less than budgeted but am not sure if will come across as stylish or tacky. I love the idea of a three level octagon shaped (eight sides) cake. Some of the sides will decorated by black and white photo transfers of baby and toddler pics of ourselves, the location he proposed to me at and a few wish fulfillment images of locations we intend to visit and images that represent desired states of being ie love, joy, friendship, abundance and adventure etc.
Essentially the baby pics with mothers on the 1st level, pic of location he engaged, a great informal engagement pic of us on the 2nd level and future wish fulfillment images on the third level. This is also an olive branch gesture as my future mother in law is essentially being shut out of the wedding arrangement details as she confuses her opinions with facts and a defacto decision
The cake is meant to be classy but distinctive. The cake will be lemon with white on white icing, the odd silver embellishment with the black and white photo transfers all delicately framed by icing so they look like framed photos and with a touch of colour from the red rose petals strewn around the base.
Great? Too much? Tackier than a counter top covered in spilled molasses?
