HI, I am trying to get some ideas on a bridal shower cake that will have a 8" round cake and cupcakes, the colors are lavender and hot pink, and the bride to be wants it girly the rest is up to me, she said she likes polka dots as well, and would like the cake to be the focal point and maybe the cup cakes on a tier column, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!
