Hi all,

I need your help and brains. I have a request for a bridal shower cake to feed 20 with an alphabet theme. The requestor doesn't have the invitations yet nor any decorations. So I'm stuck with the alphabet theme. I'm not sure where to start. I would like to make it elegant, but don't know where to begin using the alpahbet to make it elegant.

Should I use the brides new name? Any ideas on style?

AGAIN HELP!!!!

THANKS!

What a diffrent theme for a bridal shower????? YOu could make figures a bride and groom looking at a list of the alphabet and next to each letter write someting they will need for their new life together that starts with that letter.

I don't know how good you are with writing, but maybe each letter can represent a word that goes with weddings, love, starting a new life, etc. Each layer can have the words written all over. Make the first letter capital and stand out in some way. I don't know if this is even making sense!?

Evey night @ bedtime I sing this song to my girls:

A YOU'RE ADORABLE

A You're adorable
B You're so beautiful
C you're a cutey full of charms.
D you're a darling and
E you're exciting and
F you're a feather in my arms.
G you look good to me
H you're so heavenly
I you're the one I idolize
J we're like Jack and Jill
K you're so kissable
L you're the lovelight in my eyes.

M,N,O,P, I could go on all day
Q,R,S,T, alphabetically speaking, You're OK!

U make my life complete
V means you're very sweet
W,W,Y,Z

Oh, I love to wander through
The alphabet with you
To tell you what you mean to me!"

Cute song,,, weird theme for a bridal shower... But I like the thought of having words painted all over the sides of the tier...like A.appreciation B. Beauty C. caring D. dedication E. Everlasting F. forever G. genuity H. honesty etc.... I think that could look very elegant.. perhaps you could write the workds in gold

Okay..the person ordering the cake said the wedding is in October with fall colors of oranges and green. She also said the girl is very simple and wants a simple cake. Now I really don't know what to do. HELP!

Also the guest list is only 20 people and they don't want a huge cake.
