I think they are referring to it being the most individual decorators working on one single cake. chutzpah Not Registered Joined: Apr 12, 2008 Posts: 1168 Posted: Mon Mar 09, 2009 10:12 pm  Aha. Didn't think about that. I wonder how many people here are actually going to take up this 'offer'? Maybe one, perhaps fifty, a thousand? It'll be interesting. patticakesnc Forum Fanatic Joined: Oct 01, 2006 Posts: 1648 Location: Catawba NC Posted: Mon Mar 09, 2009 10:20 pm  I know I am doing some pieces. I think they should put a sign up list to see how many sign up to do it. Or even someone post a poll. jlynnw Forum Fanatic Joined: Apr 25, 2007 Posts: 1169 Posted: Tue Mar 10, 2009 8:29 am  Ok, not to get people in a tiff, but even with a poll and people comitting to making something, how much of it will arrive intack and usable? I am worried about making something that get broke in the mail! Do we need USPS or FedEX or is there even a preference? tanyascakes Forum Addict Joined: Mar 03, 2005 Posts: 924 Birthday: Jan 07 Posted: Tue Mar 10, 2009 8:46 am  Oh, Jackie!! Congrats to you both. I think this is an amazing idea for your wedding cake. I would love to participate, but I am scared I would make a horrid piece that would never make it on. I wouldn't want that. I know that it is going to be a glorious cake for a glorious day!!! Who knows, maybe I will get up the nerve to try out something to add. You both have been such a great help in my cake experiences of the last few years. I wish you both a wonderful life together!!! God bless you!!! superstar Forum Fanatic Joined: Oct 19, 2006 Posts: 1816 Location: Kauai, Hawaii Birthday: Jul 27 Posted: Tue Mar 10, 2009 2:45 pm  If it is packed very carefully, the pieces should arrive intact, they are not large pieces so I can't see a problem with the shipping. I am going to be ordering my 'Kit' at the end of the month & feel proud to be a part of this project for two wonderful people. ceshell Forum SuperStar!

One way that people will be able to get a sense of actual participation is if people upload the pics of their completed pieces to the "CakeCentral Wedding Cake Project" gallery as mentioned on the info page Also I think that's why Jackie recommended using a styro ball for round pieces, and a wire skeleton for the swirly pieces--to help make them less fragile. nickymom Forum Addict Joined: Jul 22, 2006 Posts: 523 Location: Somewhere in the Good Ol' USA Birthday: Apr 18 Posted: Tue Mar 10, 2009 4:50 pm  How cool is this idea? It's seriously cool if you ask me! I think it's neat that they want to include us in their wedding by letting us help w/their cake! WOW is all I can say!! I'm going to make pieces.....I can't wait!!!

I am a little dense with instructions. I have changed the instructions... go ahead and paint the shapes with any color or color combination dust from the kit. Sorry for the initial confusion, I certainly didn't mean to make it so convoluted! I also update the delivery date. I will need to have them delivered by June 1 2009 Jackie Site Admin Joined: May 11, 2004 Posts: 1129 Location: Tacoma, WA Birthday: Oct 20 Posted: Tue Mar 10, 2009 9:14 pm  jlynnw wrote: Do we need USPS or FedEX or is there even a preference? I would have you choose whatever is the most cost effective shipping method for you.

I know that making it hollow may facilitate in breaking. But making it solid won't be kinda heavy? It's just a thought. I think a solid piece will be too heavy. Also I would think that would take an enourmous amount of gumpaste. I was thinking you could use styrofoam or something like that. I would think a hollow round piece might be too fragile? (Please correct me if I am wrong) Or If you come up with a new technique, or idea altogether please let us know!

I thought it would make a nice compliment to the gumpaste pieces.....and since part of the chandelier must be glass it would look closer to the real piece without being too over the top........but, others would have to also make pieces or it would be off balance,visually. Did anyone else want/plan to do pulled sugar pieces?? Mark I would certainly accept pulled sugar pieces. I just worry about how fragile they are, and problems with humidity etc. That is entirely up to you! jlynnw Forum Fanatic Joined: Apr 25, 2007 Posts: 1169 Posted: Tue Mar 10, 2009 10:03 pm  Jackie, Can you please take your whole laid back attitue and be loving and accepting of anything you get and pass it on to other brides? (Bridzillas) You are amazing at this! Thanks for the clarification. marisanovy Frequent Member Joined: Oct 12, 2007 Posts: 226 Location: Garrett IN Birthday: Oct 17 Posted: Wed Mar 11, 2009 9:17 am  Thank you for the clarification Jackie.
