One of my husbands coworkers is getting married in October, and they are having a Gone with the Wind themed wedding. They want a cake to go with their theme. I have never seen the movie. I know and I call my self a southern girl. Do you all have any suggestions as to where I might get some ideas for the cake?
For ideas, just watch the dvd--you might can get it at your local library or borrow it from a friend & I know you can rent it!
I know Hallmark carries the Scarlett ornaments & maybe one with both Scarlett & Rhett(?). Might could put one or a few on the cake??? Cake topper???
Could the "grand staircase" be incorporated into the cake??? (or is that a bad omen at a wedding? I guess that depends on what speaks to them in the movie!!!)
Tara cake? Twelve Oaks? Cotton???
Sorry, don't have many ideas. 
this site has lots of pics from the movie.

something might inspire you.
some random thoughts.
cake made to look like Tara (the plantation house)
cake w/ Rhett and Scarlett look alikes....esp. if you do them on the grand staircase in the house.
(and if the couple have an off-beat sense of humor -- could do one for the bridal shower of Bob Mackie's Carol Burnett's take-off on the "curtain" dress (for the "Went with the Wind" episode. -- several shots of dress there)
I LOVE that movie!!! It is my all time favorite. I have seen it a dozen or more times! I am going to have to think on this one!
Ok--I have been thinking...Can you do edible imaging? A film canister with the film spilling out would be cute. Pictures of the movie on the film strip.
or
A white 3 teir cake with choc. silouettes could be amazing.
Still thinking..
ohhh scary you read my mind!!!! That is exactly what I was thinking!
Being that it's a wedding, I would try and go with something from the "glory" days in the beginning of the movie. Where life is serene and happy.
Something with the beautiful trees--the pretty flowers, etc. I'll have to think of this one.
There is a lovely staircase at 12 Oaks--that is shown in the beginnin of the movie. There are also a couple of weddings in the movie that you could try and see what those cakes look like. If I have time--I'll try and yank out my dvd's and see if there is any other inspiration.
The idea with the grand staircase is great, too. The stairs, however, are pretty dark--both in color and in what happens on them. Something to think about.
