i don't like that cake either. it looks too...much, too much. i saw one where there were words about how the bride and groom describes their relationship like hope, laughter, love, etc. the cake was done in pale blue and the writing in white so it didn't clash and it looked really pretty.
ETA
i meant i don't like the cake with the guests' names on it. the second cake looks good actually.
I was just asked last month to do this cake! But after talking with the bride, she has decided to just use the names of her attendants. (sigh of relief) I am planning on writing them in royal icing and painting them gold. I'm also doing this cake in hexagons so the names should fit nicely on the sides.
I have a bride who also asked for writing on the side of the cake. She has a favorite scripture. She also wanted a specific, very flourished font, but I was able to talk her out of it. I'm planning to use Sugerveil icing with a small parchment cone ....
I guess writing on the cake is the new thing!

Hi Gale, that makes three of us already! good luck with your cake.
I think I will do RI with luster dust too...
That's hilarious...if you hadn't noticed, that "terrific idea" was the GROOM's idea!!
I was just about to post that!
Signing a sheet cake is a claver idea! At the same time, that's a lot of people messing with one cake. Leave some sanitizer nearby. 
I have a poem cake in my pictures that was edible images. If I were asked to do allof those names, I would print them on edible paper and slap those babies on to the cake. Or at least offer it as the not quite as expensive option.
Well, the bride INSIST on having this cake, so I guess I will just have to take the bull by the horns.
Aligotmatt: can you please tell me what method you used to do your poem cake?
Was your cake iced in buttercream with the edible images or is if fondant?
I planning to buy the printer soon...
Thanks in advance.
Not only would writing all those names be so time consuming, what about the spacing of the names???? How many on each tier, on each line? How do you evenly space so there are no big gaps? will all the names fit? Will there be too much room left over on one line? Do you have to count the letters in the names to make sure all the lines are evenly distributed?
It's asking for trouble in my opinion!

I've thought about that too, I have a lot of planning to do for this cake.
