AHere is mine from 2002. My dress had embroidered daisies with ivy around the hem. I just remember looking at the bakers albums and seeing piped ivy. I asked for that and real flowers. The baker provided the flowers. I don't remember deciding on separate cakes. I think it was around $2.00 a serving[IMG]http://cakecentral.com/content/type/61/id/3081531/width/200/height/400[/IMG]
I love looking at people's wedding cakes, particularly the ones that have been made by family members or by brides themselves. It is easy to go to a shop and buy someone a gift, but making something such as a cake and then spending the time to personalise and decorate it is something that I think is pretty special. This is the cake I recently made for a friend's wedding. I also made my own and commend anyone who does it - pretty stressful when there are so many other things to think about! x

I had it on mine and I don't remember it being hard to cut, although the knife they gave us is pretty sharp! I guess there is something in it to stop it during super hard (glycerine I think).
From my super duper inherited 1970's macdougalls bakery book, it states the addition of glycerine keeps it soft and the addition of lemon juice makes it hard (rock hard!) my mum made my cake, it was themed with scrabble and Lego!
Here's my wedding cake. It had a brown fondant ribbon and a fondant brooch to match the dress I wore. We had a wedding with 120 people and my mom thought the slices were too small, so she said we should have doubled the size.
I didn't like the rose petals at the bottom, it took away from the beauty of the cake. But it was delicious!!!
That was a beautiful cake NorasMom and I love the color of the ribbon. I've been thinking of doing a cake that color.
Never had a wedding cake, we semi eloped and it didn't seem important at the time. We renewed our vows on August 4 of this year, and these are the two cakes I made to share with our guests:
